The drive is expected to expand to other stadiums in the current weeks.

Leave it to Federal bureaucracy to team up with a dying brand.

Dumb.

I’m a Jets fan. Or whatever you want to call it after 40 years.

I sinned and watched the game last week.

And God punished me and every other fan good.

Done for the season with the NFL

Wife is two time breast cancer survivor and one time brain cancer survivor and she has to live with me.

She loves football and I wont torture her to not watch it. If it distracts her from radiation treatments, I am glad.

But I’m done with the NFL.

Wanting to make sure Colin is on a football team before they stop kneeling? They can go #### themselves.

But for those who get few joys in life, or if it alleviates some suffering they are going through, I’m not going to harass those people.

There’s not enough of them to keep the NFL alive anyway.

This is stealth ‘police state creep’, for lack of a better phrase at the moment.

tsa goons at the stadium, then the railway/subway to the stadium, then it goes on from there.

This nonsense started under RINO Bush and if not kept in check will grow into the monstrosity that dhs is now.

PreCheck, the private company doing this, better not be billing taxpayers for any of its costs...

I’m sorry to learn about your wife. Thank God she survived all that! And it can’t be easy for you either.

I agree - afford her every comfort and entertainment her heart desires. Life is too short anyway.

FWIW, PreCheck’s CEO, Robert Sartain, has an interesting political contribution history. FEC has him donating to everything from a ‘Rat to Trump.

Thanks man. I appreciate it.

Only the brain cancer was a BAD one. Well they’re ALL bad but both breast cancers were caught early. Just seems like radiation treatment is going on forever.

But not as bad as it was even 20 years ago.

As an ex boxer, I learned long ago that life is basically one long boxing match. You just have to keep punching and when you fall to the canvas, you just get back up and keep punching again :)

BTW, any of you guys who remember farmer dean from the board, he had colon cancer surgery 3 months ago an was supposed to be out in three days.

Got sepsis and is still fighting the battle in the ICU 3 months later. Throw some prayers his way. He’s a good guy :) Thank you.

His wife keeps me in contact for those who know him well and want updates.

Prayers for you and yours. I agree, let the sick take comfort....but I too have walked away.

My real boycott began when the bigot Roger Goodell went after Rush Limbaugh when the radio talker was in a position to become a minority owner of the St Louis Rams. This was about the same time the NFL was promoting (at least in Miami) the addition of “celebrity” owners of NFL teams.

One of these “celebrity” owners was the female singer of the Black Eyed Peas. Her name is Fergie. Fergie was the singer who wet her pants on stage. She was apparently “worthy” of NFL ownership status, but Rush Limbaugh, a distinguished opinion maker and serious businessman, was not allowed to be part of the club.

Bigots.

Trump’s not gonna be in forever (8 years goes fast) and we need to CHANGE AS MUCH as possible under him as we can.

Unfortunately, we know there will sooner or later be a DemWit in the Oval office again. Hopefully not for 12 or 16 years.

“FWIW, PreCheck’s CEO, Robert Sartain, has an interesting political contribution history. FEC has him donating to everything from a ‘Rat to Trump.”

Shows a SMART MAN to me...like Trump.

However, this is the WRONG Pre-Check - has nothing to do with TSA. This company specializes in nabbing people who try to get medical care using their brother’s insurance.

You remember him? :) Cool.

I might drive out to Ohio to see him.

Doesn’t have much kin it seems except the wife and she sounds (reads) exhausted.

I have no problem with PreCheck doing this.

As long as taxpayers are NOT on the hook for costs incurred by the company.

I don’t know the funding for Pre-Check, but it does work great at airports and does greatly speed up getting through TSA, so the net effect is less need for TSA people...so probably a net positive, but still very small numbers overall.

Well, I can say with authority that I would rather have a simultaneous root canal and IRS audit than fly. And even if I had to, I would never avail myself of PreCheck’s services. It’s bad enough government has my info, I’m not giving it to a private company.

But if other folks want to, fine by me. As long as their fellow taxpayers AIN’T paying for it. :-)
