Ignored facts still exist |
Then, Yahoo News (if there is such a thing) complains about the taxpayer cost of the Pence visit. https://www.yahoo.com/news/mik...-apos-165633569.html They are worried about $88K. How about we worry about the BILLIONS of tax dollars spent on stadiums nationwide over the recent past. THIS.MUST.STOP . | |||

It is actually crazy, a multi-billion dollar company like the NFL, just being incredibly stupid, so many missteps. I've never really seen anything like it.

It's like watching 2 trains in a head-on collision in super slo-mo. When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are undisturbed.

And the NFL the switchman, between the two, standing there sweating in indecision and confusion, not being able to decide which switch to throw, much less which way to throw it.

Yeah, this is just getting down right crazy. The wife and I have not watched an NFL game this year. For us, that is a big deal as we are huge football fanatics. You just gotta draw the line somewhere, right? .....never marry a woman who is mean to your waitress. | |||

A lot of people are probably discovering their life is just fine without watching 25 minutes of commercials followed by about a minute of actual football followed by more commercials. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The price of liberty and even of common humanity is eternal vigilance | |||

It really boils down to one thing and the NFL is just perhaps the 1st and most prominent example of many more to come. That is, led by Trump, those who produce and make this country work are tired of being shit upon by those who take. It's like we have finally had enough of the constant whining and bullshit from the back seat and actually pulled the car over and jerked the the little shits out and spanked their asses on the side of the road. The whiney fucking children in this country better buckle the fuck up and play some "I spy" or color some god damned dinosaurs or its going to be a long 8 year road trip. ______________________________ “I'd like to know why well-educated idiots keep apologizing for lazy and complaining people who think the world owes them a living.” ― John Wayne | |||

While we're at it, I think having female sportscasters is downright stupid. That is the word- stupid. What's the point? All the people on the field- players and officials, all the people on the sidelines, almost all of the supporting staff- are male. If I were a football fan, just about the last thing I'd be interested in hearing is the perspective of some loopy, bitchy female. \ | |||

Para, it was never about equality but have a pretty face to look at. They are especially bad on ESPN. Just imagine if the stuff that went down in the 80's locker rooms happened today.

Phyllis George did a wonderful job lighting up football coverage in the ‘70’s. I’m not sure, can’t remember, if she did play by play though. There is a female working college games the last couple of years whose voice and tone make me ill, grab for the remote. I hope she isn’t working any UT games. She tries to sound tough, energetic. I can’t stand it. There is a female ref now, and an assistant coach, too. Just wait. If there are still fans, there will be a place kicker...... Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

Reminds me of the female drill sergeants during Basic. I never had any (combat MOS), but we’d see them drilling REMF units, trying to sound tough. It was like fingernails on a chalkboard when they’d try to artificially lower their voices to shout at their trainees or call cadence. Demand not that events should happen as you wish; but wish them to happen as they do happen, and you will go on well. -Epictetus | |||

One day an NFL football game was on TV. Dunno why. We don't watch it and never have. I look up and notice my wife watching the TV. "You're watching football?!?!" "Yeah," she replied, "Do they actually ever play?" I assured her they do. We wait. They get set, the ball's snapped. "There. See?" "That's it?" she asked. "Yup." One night, waiting for the inevitable overtime to be over with, I taught my wife how to read the clock. "Only four minutes," she says. "That means about fifteen to twenty minutes," I replied. "What?" And I explained it. I don't see how people can watch that. It's ridiculous. ... Hahaha! I just looked it up. Mind you: Collegiate and professional American football rules are 60 minutes of play. 60 minutes. Yet...
Ref: An average NFL game: more than 100 commercials and just 11 minutes of play But if you base it on actual play: You're watching 5-1/2 times more commercials than you are actual football play. It's even more ridiculous than I imagined. "America is at that awkward stage.

It's advertising masked by manufactured suspense for the people that get overly invested in a team. | |||
