Actor and former Redskins player Terry Crews: "The NFL is a cult"

Actor Terry Crews used a very loaded word to describe his former employer, the NFL. “There is this thing where the team kind of looks at [itself] as your father,” Crews said in an interview with Sports Illustated Now. “And it’s kind of weird, because it’s like ‘You’d do this for the team, right?’

I heard he was in a gang back then, that's messed up how they just don't seem to really care about that though. I read he also threatened to kill a teammate on the Pats and nothing was done. And later on threatened to shoot and kill a guard a few months back while in jail. Gee, that will certainly help his case. Kill 3 people then threaten to kill a guard. The guy is a complete psychopath with an ego so big he thinks he's God. You ever see the tat on his back? He has Jesus looking up to his name as if Jesus is worshiping him, then this tat that says "Hate me now" as if he expects people to be jealous of him because he's just too good man. What a doosh. Let's see if he feels them same way when he's 80 and is still doing time.

Looking around at the general state of things, it’s not surprising it’s the most popular sport by miles.

Well said my friend. People want show, not substance, and that goes for nearly everything in our society today.

Just proves you know the facts don’t back you.

I don’t know if anybody is really saying it’s a new problem. The new aspect is former players who got those various shots to hide symptoms so they could get back on the field are now suing.

So that is your less-than-gracious response to my apology? Signing off.

[discostu]

Don’t blame other people for wounds you inflicted yourself, you came in grinding an ax with an ill-formed factually challenged position and then couldn’t manage to admit you were wrong. If you’d have been gracious I’d have been gracious, but you went to the insults. You don’t get to rewrite history with an apology.

[all the best]

Wow. All in support of entertainment. Amazing. Absolutely amazing.

[discostu]

All in support of logic and facts.

“the most masculine thing in America these days is sitting on one’s butt watching other men play boys’ games.”

This is very good. I will use this one.

I don’t believe anything from the compost. It’s obvious that the libtards are after the NFL though - and I really don’t care. they are making the game more and more boring as they appease the leftists, and the leftists will tear them down anyway because that’s what they do.
