Did you see that Aaron Hernandez had stage 3 CTE?
It shouldn't be bothering him any more.

So you can get past your anger, think about it and understand it from another perspective.  Try my shoes on for a day or two.


But then again you got me wondering....(see post #7 and below)
What?  Oh boo hoo.  I've never known a Marine to play the victim. Ever.  Everyone has a story. Everyone. But most of us just move on to try and make tomorrow a better day.

Whatever these disrespectful protests are supposed to represent - and if you take Kappernick at his word, the protests are against this country - then there is nothing that can be done to fix their issues in our lifetimes.

In the mean time, the players, with the consent of the league and the owners, have taken the single most unifying thing provided by sports and turned it into a divisive slap in the face to the majority of the very same customers that pay their bills. It's moronic.

I just wish the left would make up their mind.  Should an employee inject their beliefs into work or not.

Why is it OK for an NFL player for force his customers to endure his beliefs, but not ok for a baker?  To the Left, the difference is entirely about which one they personally agree with plus the fact that the Left doesn't actually want the country to become better.

So how many know what the protest is over...?

IT DOESN'T MATTER.

My dad and most of family grew up in WI, not far from Green Bay. I lived in Denver during the big Elway years, and lived in SoCal during some big NFL years there. I've been spoiled by great pro football almost all my life. While I don't buy any NFL gear, and I'm not much of a 'rah-rah' kind of guy, but for years I followed the corp sponsors, and did business with them

No more.
Cut up my Visa card, going with MC unless they endorse the NFL.
My last truck was a Ford, current one is a Dodge, won't be going back to Ford.
Switched from an A-B beer to a different brand(this hurt, I like beer).
And while I don't have a choice in computer OS, I won't be buying any Microsoft gear if I can help it.

So long suckas! My Sundays will be spent in other pursuits.
I sent this to McDonald's, Mars, Campbell's yesterday modified for each product category. I'll get around to the rest as able. I don't follow NFL games but found I have been unwittingly supporting their sponsors.
Your sponsorship of the NFL requires me to use my money to purchase something other than :
Skittles
Snickers
Mars bars
                    for me and my three grandchildren. I will vote with my dollars  until it hurts. My grand kids love the snacks I provide they will not understand at first but as they grow in this land of opportunity they will.

.  The only league that isn't in this category is the NHL.  I wonder why.

So some idiots refused to stand in London for our National Anthem, but came out and stood for the British. Do these retards not know that slavery was allowed by the British when our colonies were founded? What a bunch of morons.

I have not watched an NFL game in more than a year - Goodell is responsible.

The quality of the product, that is, the game itself, has been on a steady decline for several years because Goodell and crew will not let the players play the freaking game when ON the field.

They then let the players get away with murder (literally and figuratively) OFF the field, including severe cases of domestic abuse, drug abuse, rapes, etc.

Throw in billionaire team owners making ridiculous demands of the cities that they call home (looking at you Spanos).

Kaepernick's anthem shenanigans were really just the last straw.

Fuck the NFL.

It is amazing what Jay and Mary Honeck have been fighting down in Port Aransas to get their hotel rebuilt.  The went to Lowes today to see about cabinets and were told they will have to pull permits to have new cabinets installed.  The crap they went through today over getting the roof replaced was incredible.  They are just trying to get their business up and running again. Their insurance will only cover 6 months of lost revenue.  They also went to see about applying for FEMA aid and ended up in a long line that led to a phone bank so they could call and make an appointment.  I think, no matter how the folks at the top think things are working the bureaucrats will always make things harder than they need to be.
Which is obviously why we MUST turn all of our healthcare into single payer run by the US Government. I mean, they do everything else so well.....

No I didn't get your humor, I'd taken you in concert with all the other outlandishly racist things you've said in the past and assumed it was par for course. But if you've changed your spots excuse me while I bask in my skepticism.
You're the first person ever to call me racist. I suspect it is your reflexive distaste when someone points out issues that exist in the black community, and you'd rather attack the messenger than deal with the truth.  Typical.

I was searching for specific info on the B35 Bo and one of the google hits was this plane est at $815,000! That is one costly old plane...
"Honey, the plane isn't selling. The market must be soft. To keep it in good shape I need to keep flying it, but it will sell soon. Don't worry."

I see it as he gave up a bargaining chip for ... nothing in return. Nothing.
Maybe he's a true Republican after all?

Spin Zone / Re: Trump, Schumer Scheme to Repeal Debt Ceiling
« on: September 07, 2017, 01:04:55 PM »
The debt ceiling is a bad joke that has been perpetrated on America.  It makes absolutely no sense and should be eliminated.

I would say that even if the effect of every "debt ceiling" fight hadn't made the Rs look like idiots and losers.

The time to fight over the debt is when budgets are passed.  Not later when all they are doing is deciding whether we should pay our bills or not.  The only reason the debt ceiling still exists is so that each party could use it to piss the other party off.  I am glad Trump isn't playing that game.

Spin Zone / Re: Gender discrimination at Disneyland of all places
« on: September 01, 2017, 01:56:58 PM »
For 3 year olds? When nobody bats an eye if the little girl dresses up as Spider-Man? That is a bit of a double standard. And toddlers are not very aware of gender anyway, what's the big deal? I'm afraid I fall on the side of the parent in this case. Apparenlty it was not Disney policy to exclude boys from princess dress up but some employee's personal misjudgment. Disney was right to apologize. That being said it doesn't mean I think girls should be allowed to join the Boy Scouts and vice versa. Context folks. 3 year old dress up - they are too young for it to matter.
