Ahh, Thank you so much - for posting this/ for writing this, Mr. Lonsberry.

For some reason, the progressive Left is scapegoating professional football. I think it’s for money – notice that all the activists are now saying the league must invest in changing the culture. That means give the activists money. Create a controversy, and solicit donations to make the controversy go away. It is a scheme perfected by Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.

I believe the left hates football because it is a man's game. More than that it is a training ground for 3 dimensional warfare. It involves strategy, air campaigns, ground campaigns, power ratings, deception, mobility, and force on force.

Little girls might play football when they're at an age where they outsize their male age cohort peers, but that is soon forgotten when the issue becomes men.

Football is about men being men and training for war.

And that is why 'concussions' are an issue and why parents are encouraged not to let their little boys play. It's why soccer is the preferred alternative.

The left doesn't want men around if it comes to battle.

I looked up Hope Solo, expecting to find a lesbo domestic incident. It was her sister and nephew she smacked around.

Few people know that professional women’s soccer even exists. It’s not on anyone’s radar.

...repeated studies have shown that NFL players are more law abiding than their non-football-playing peers.

 

Obvious reason for that. Super star athletes (especially the NFL) are given free passes and their crimes are often overlooked (Yeah, Ray Rice. I'm talking about you.)

Fact is, the NFL has refused to clean up after itself. Now they must respond to the social outrage and act like professionals.

Who wrote this article? The president of the NFL Players Union?

I remember when Mike Tyson was smacking around his wife. That was a given.

The Left utilizes moral equivalencies to explain the world around them. This renders them incapable of distinguishing between aggression and violence. A bumper car ride is akin to a fatal car wreck. A hard tackle is equal to a vicious mugging. A toy gun is a precursor to wholesale slaughter. Their simplistic reduction removes intent from the equation, and therefore free will and personal responsibility.

Growing up; I was always bemused by the cartoon strip, 'Andy Capp'. It didn't make sense that Ms. Capp could bowl him down the stairs with a fry pan or rolling pin and that no one raised an eyebrow at this perverse 'punch line'.

It makes no sense.

It makes perfect sense when you realize what they are up to.

It's not about domestic violence. Or violence of any kind.

It's about energizing the female vote for November. That's all it is.

Domestic violence is horrible. Beating anyone is terrible. So, that is why there is a law against assault. And battery.

Domestic violence laws are simply about control. Control over men and women by the courts and government. They have nothing to do with morality, justice or preventing violence in the home.
