I think it may be time for a salary cap on “Pro-Sports”.
Maybe then players would retire more often instead of “Play through the pain” for several more years.
Perhaps that would also open more opportunity for fresh players so relieve some of the desperation?
How about a “Term Limit” for players, not more than six years at no more than five million a year tops.
If you cannot survive on say, ten to thirty million dollars you are too stupid to be allowed to play.

Actually, we always here about white shooters with white victims. It’s black shooters with black victims that the media ignores, I presume because they are racist?

So sad for the families and the young men who lost their lives when they should have had so many years left.

I worked at a hospital, same thing. Run, hide, fight. It’s pretty standard in today’s corporate environment.

It actually makes sense. They used to have one that did not include ‘fight’ basically, run - hide.

Does that even make sense?P>Yes, it does. It's pretty standard for corporate environment today. Run if you can, if you can't run, find a place to hide, if your hiding spot is found then you have to find something, anything (they often show a fire extinguisher or heavy chair) to use as a weapon.

You say: “It’s black shooters with black victims that the media ignores, I presume because they are racist?
No, it’s because they are woke.”

“I am devastated that this violence has visited the University of Virginia,” said Jim Ryan, the university’s president.

The university is considered among one of the most prestigious in the country and ranked number three in public universities in the US.


They’re not sending their best to the most prestigious universities....

My granddaughter just graduated with honors from UVa. She considered the dumbed-down curriculum a joke.

Students were issued warnings earlier to “RUN HIDE FIGHT"

Leave it to a university to come up with childish instructions like this.

Each year, the District Safety Committee gets together to discuss the district safety plans, safety drills, and any other updates necessary to keep our students and staff safe! In collaboration with our safety services in our three cities, our students have worked with our SROs, nurses, police, fire, and administrators to create new safety videos.

It's actually pretty good.

Run = get the f*ck out if you can

Hide = If there is no way out

Fight = If you are confronted don't go down easy. Fight the MF

It's also the name of a pretty good movie that came out during Covid.

“The only thing that will keep him off of death row is if he plays the race card ...”

I read that he has been charged with second-degree murder (no premeditation), so that takes the death penalty off the table.

Considering the elements of the crime, I guess they are content to have him locked up for the rest of his natural life. Victim’s families will just have deal wid it.
