I have come up with a name for their stupid locked arms chain formation. The Chain Gang! Teachers can teach “students” how to do the Chain Gang for the National Anthem so that they will all be all ready for martial law.
I knew the NFL had run its course more than 25 years ago when people spent as much time talking about Super Bowl commercials as they did about the Super Bowl game itself. Think about the stupidity of that for just a moment
They been bleeding for a long time, It’s about time they decided to end it all.
Best Damned Football Season EVER, and I quit watching in 1988
Thank you for all that good work!!
Thank you for all that good work!!
Nice job. Thanks!
A nice walk in the woods with a firearm is so much more invigorating than sittin on my azz watchin moronic commercials and jocks doing what jocks do.
"Bread and circuses" and all. d;^)
Good stuff.
Excellent read.
This is one of the best vanities ever.
great read ping!
“...his complaint that the NFL has ruined football by turning it into a dull game with penalty flags for silly, stupid infractions.”
It’s a sport where the players can’t or won’t self police each other, so they had to come up with swishy rules to stop ‘excessive celebrations.’ How lame is that? So if it isn’t too excessive they can perform chest slapping displays, hulk rage posturing, and even fruity celebration dances—and now kneeling demonstrations and the players themsleves can’t do anything about it within the rules of the game to make someone think twice about pulling that crap. Garbage sport, and it has been for years.

Exceptional review.
I don’t think the League was really in trouble until two things happened, almost simultaneously-—and you mentioned one, the penalties. The other is the feminization of football, which you alluded to, but which was really pushed out front with the pink/breast cancer stuff.
Note: NOT prostate or testicular cancer, which is a threat to the overwhelming percentage of the viewing audience, but breast cancer. I would bet money that the NFL (with its SJW female “advisors”) deliberaterately chose breasts because of the sexual connotation it stirred in men. Ovarian cancer? Good luck getting a buy-in.
The breast cancer /pink week was, in retrospect, the SJWs’ cleverly planned foot in the door to destroy the league. Kapernick was an unexpected bonus for them.
Now, the penalties are a different issue. This by itself may have been insurmountable because the players have gotten so much bigger, faster, and stronger in the last 20 years that collisions that might not have destroyed someone in 1980 could almost kill them now. And yes, I remember Jack Tatum paralyzing Daryl Stingley.
So the NFL tried to limit hits on so-called “defenseless” players ( which is nonsense—the PURPOSE of such hits on WRs and QBs was to distract them & make them think about survival). At any rate, I don’t know if you can reconcile the increased violence level with reasonable penalty calling. One has to go.
But your biggest point, that this is a culmination of TONS of SJW meddling (especially in the announcing booth) is 100% accurate.
And you just don’t walk back from these long/slow developing grievances.
Ask the Sons of Liberty.
Thanks for posting.
This is a good read...I really liked it...
I’d like to point out if Jerry Jones and his,”goofy, funny, deer in the headlights drunken grin kneeling looking out of place look”, is any indication of the mind of an owner, then get the popcorn as we are in for an entertaining ride.
The owners have riden their gravy train non-profit scam for so long they are clueless how to handle this.
Perhaps NoKo fat boy can give them some advice.
What if the point is to get people protesting, not to protest something in particular? Of course, "taking a knee" isn't going to change anything in American society, but if enough people are doing it, it creates an atmosphere of unrest and upheaval that some people want. Look at many wars and most revolutions. People aren't all fighting for the same thing or trying to achieve the same result, but they are all fighting, and if you think you can redirect all that energy to your own ends, that's a win for you.
•I really can't fault Roger Goodell and NFL owners for all the public statements they issued in the aftermath of President Trump's epic rant at the Alabama political rally last Friday night, even if these public statements were botched, uniformly pathetic, and delivered the absolute wrong message for the occasion. You can't fault them for their desperation in these circumstances, since it's not often that the President of the United States tells your customers that: (1) it would be great for some of your employees ("sons of bitches" that they are) to be fired; and (2) they should just get up and leave your place of business until you and your employees get your act together. What President Trump did last Friday was the equivalent of telling the world that McDonalds hamburgers taste like garbage.
Last sentence is going too far, but Goodell and the owners aren't "cultural Marxists" or revolutionaries. They're business people and their acting like business people do. There's a little bit of a progressive veneer in business circles. I think that's what the conspiracy theorists are picking up on. Top business people want to be "cool" and urban and cosmopolitan and put some distance between themselves and small town Main Street. But it's mostly about business and profit, not ideology.
It's by design, I think. In Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, he describes the games of the future society, such as Obstacle Golf, Escalator Squash, Centrifugal Bumble-Puppy, and Riemann Surface Tennis. As Director Mostapha Mond says:
Imagine the folly of allowing people to play elaborate games which do nothing whatever to increase consumption. It’s madness. Nowadays the Controllers won’t approve of any new game unless it can be shown that it requires at least as much apparatus as the most complicated of existing games.
Well it is a big thing to change a lifestyle. I have chosen, after being a follower since about 1964, to no longer have anything to do with the No Flag Love League.
I have been a Miami Dolphin fan since they started in 1966. I have hosted super bowl parties in my home ... but no more.
Some things which have brought this to a head:
1. I totally disagree with cities and counties using tax money to pay for billionaire’s arenas.
2, I disagree with teams that paid for stadiums having their team yanked away from them on an owner’s whim. (Houston Oilers, Baltimore Colts, LA Rams, St Louis Rams, St. Louis Cardinals, Oakland Raiders, LA Raiders, SD Chargers and so on.)
3. Replay has become ridiculous ... the umps and refs can no longer be relied on for a call ... we need to review and re-review, ad nauseum.
4. We go to commercial. Then there is a kick-off. THEN, ANOTHER COMMERCIAL! Enough said.
5. Pink shoes and armbands.
6. Players who are thugs to women and others ... and are treated like they’re victims.
7. And now ... the final straw. Not honoring the flag, pledge or anthem, for some reason that they can’t even articulate (at least, beyond “because of Trump”)
So, enough is enough! And to whatever degree possible, I will avoid doing business with the major sponsors.
I doubt that I will have any real effect on a multi-billion dollar business, but I feel better having taken this stand.
The anti-American National Felon League can "spin"/lie, retreat, take a step back, and "backtrack" all it wants, it makes no difference because it is too late, the die has been cast.
The NFL has crossed the Rubicon and to quote Admiral Yamato: "awoken a sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve".
We are at war; the NFL started this cultural war against US, against America and they are attacking EVERYTHING WE STAND FOR, BELIEVE IN AND HOLD NEAR AND DEAR.
Like WWII, there can not be any, truce, or "compromise" for the sake of their false notion of "unity", no "cessation of hostilities" with those who have made themselves our enemies with out a cause.
We Americans who love our county more than any game have now taken up the fight forced upon us and like "the greatest generation" we too will settle for only one outcome: NOTHING LESS THAT THEIR TOTAL SURRENDER!
We choose to STAND; we choose to "Live Free or Die", rather than "bend the knee" and subugate ourselves, our families, and our beloved nation to the racist, socialist, PC tyranny and perverted ideology of the National Felon League.
Lots of very good points & insights.
It's two teams that were very much in the limelight in this latest disgusting fiasco, with lots of hardcore blue collar, true-blue American type fans. Both are 2-1. Both were utterly destroyed in the last game, after starting 2-0. Karma.
VERY curious how many turn out for this one. It would normally be a packed house, with a typically very large number of Pittsburgh fans showing up as well due to their ubiquity and proximity. We'll see...
