Jerry can identify with Vikings' woes

Even worse than the Mann Act, the Vikings were also charged with a Dog Act violation on Sunday, the next game after this story broke publicly.

As a classy Packer fan I will refrain from piling on....for the moment, at least.

"In Minnesota, there's a new owner. His original investment is pushing $800 million"

That thought must be going across Zigy's mind over and over again ever since this Ghost Ship returned to port.

[SideoutFred]

Classy and Packer fan? Together? Is that an oxymoron?


Just kidding.

[gorush]

I said classy...I didn't specify low or high.. :{)

Titty bars and drugs go hand in hand. When athletes start frequenting those places or getting the girls from there to meet at other places, their downfall is not far away.

I often thought that is why New Orleans and Houston had a hard time getting off the bottom after years of trying. The fans blame the owners but the problem is the culture that surrounds the team. The owners can and should get on top of that unless they are too naive to know.

Week 6...Bears 28....Yikes 3. Always good to beat the Viqueens! BTW, I just love your graphic! Also just checked and the Pack lead the Queens 17-10, so it looks as though their slide continues. I wouldn't be surprised to see them finish 1-15! OK, I know wishful thinking!

Okay, I've donned my asbestos jumpsuit... aside from personal marriage issues which should be between players and their wives, and the illegality of prostitution, ask this question, What if they were gay?

These are grown adults engaging in consential sex, albeit in public, but regardless, this is scandalous to be sure, but it's about men and women having sex.

What if they were gay? The ACLU would be defending their "lifestyle" and all the consternation over this would be called homophobic. Anyone decrying the situation would be infringing on their "rights" to live their lives as they want. The press and the nation at large would quickly shut their collective pie-holes and the situation would pass into the ether. How on earth have we criminalized heterosexual relations to the point that this story is bigger than the Beatles, while a similar story, about homosexuality, written by John Cloud in TIME magazine went by without a peep. In the article Cloud wrote about a homosexual sex party that he attended at a house outside DC. Anonymous gay sex, UNPROTECTED gay sex, drug use, alcohol abuse, the gambit was run, but the story went by as "their lifestyle" and remained untouched.

Not that the Vikings weren't wrong, but the story has grown to such a point that it's taking on it's own life, while at the heart of it it's about MEN having sex with WOMEN.

BTW, I just love your graphic!

If you look at the link for the graphic, it is hosted on a website called packerpalace.com

Here's another image from that site.

No, it's about men and women having sex in a public place where they could not avoid being seen by unwilling bystanders. Would you like it if a gay couple started kissing in front of your kids?

17-10 Packers at the end of 3 qtrs.

9ers 7
Redskins 45

He is the president and what he does in private is his business.

The same argument could be applied to these guys.

It's on MTV nightly. I don't want to see it, they have expressed to me that they don't want to see it, but it has become mainstream. As I said the public sex is scandalous, but the entire situation is blown out of proportion IMO.

Fine them for the public displays, make the arrests as necessary, but this story is not as big as it has become.

No, I'm not a Vikings fan, Steelers for me.

[investigateworld]

No flame here. Look back at the City of Berkley which had a citizens initiative on the ballot direct the Police to make Prostitution a low priority crime. Went down in flames when the lesbos joined with the church ladies.
