NFL Decides at League Meeting That It Will Not Require Players to Stand for National Anthem
It will merely suggest that they do so.
The NFL has decided that it will not force players to stand for the playing of our National Anthem. Total disrespect for our great country!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 18, 2017
The public is turning the channel on what used to be the markers of its weekly existence. Slowly and by hit and miss, Americans are learning that they do not need to go to a theater to see another Harvey Weinstein movie; or watch network news or read traditional journalism; or, on NFL Sunday, see more zillionaires in their luxury boxes above grow giddy as their employees below score, only to see a showboating player kneel on all fours to mimic a urinating dog, which is apparently less offensive than standing for the national anthem.We have no common values, and we increasingly have no common culture. Progressives spearhead efforts to remove a common language. With nothing left in common, how are the states united in anything but name? Call an Article 5 convention, enact an amendment permitting secession, and let two or three or four young and vital New Americas bloom out of the dead stump of the old one.

Now when I read on Monday that some NFL player got carried off the field, I find myself wondering if that will impact their ability to kneel next weekend.

they hate us, they really really hate us. Which raises a question..who is wagging the dog?
The left had to import 50 million new voters since Billy Clinton only got 43% of the vote in 1992. The DNC exists only to service these new voters and the billions of potential voters out there in the rest of the world which the GOP, like nazis, keeps out of the USA. So, is this anti-american hatred reflective of old school prog hate or new, replacement american hate of the normies they are replacing?

At this point, if this were really about whatever the players claim it is about, they would give it up because it's only alienating people from their cause.
But since it's really about posturing and "virtue signaling" they won't.

America is divided sure ... those that believe the MFM BS and those that know it is a load of crap.
Most of the people that seem completely leftist have swallowed whole the provable lies ... like Hillary destroying evidence, and deciding she can move top secret stuff onto her private open to the world servers. Or take 100's of millions in return for uranium and supersonic missile tech.
It is still possible that full revealing of these crimes cracks the left ... and America First seems reasonable, and the insanity of 'open borders' arises from the PC ashes as obvious.
It is the "snap out of it" snap that hypnotists use to break their trances.
Could Happen ... these leftists are generally normal people, away from the "Must Hate Trump and his deplorables" syndrome.

Their great triumph after months of kludged clusterfuckery is to come out with a bill that rolls back all the tough on crime initiatives of the past several decades, including three strikes laws, mandatory minimums, etc.
So, hugs for thugs.

Cause we can't have that kind of self expression, only the self expression which undermines the national anthem.
Wow. Its as if they have a impulse to self destruction that they are incapable of controlling.
Funny how that seems to happen with those who have no standards.

Our schools are responsible for this.

He mentioned that anti-trust exemption the NFL enjoys.
Congress should revoke it after 56 years.
I mean, after all, the NFL sees this as an oppressive nation that does not provide equality.
THIS.
Also, as Insty always recommends: repeal the Hollywood tax breaks.

Can only hope they destroy themselves...b/c you know who else is gonna be pissed off?
The players that don't want to kneel. Who start to feel the backlash from this. Just like everywhere else politics takes over, it will divide. And a football team can be screwed up by this crap.
The resentment will mess up the cohesiveness a team needs. B/c if you can't voice your dissent, guess where it is gonna seep out? On the field.

I find it somewhat disturbing as a former athlete that I couldn't give two shits if my kids ever play a sport. They already don't watch them. I had already pretty much given up watching football, and after the NFL refused to allow Dallas a tribute to the fallen officers, I quit altogether. I quit pro basketball years ago. I'm about ready to cut off college sports viewing as well. That's where all this shit percolates.

Some of you all have no concept what a real school looks like.
Maybe they still exist somewhat in some rural district far from scrutiny of DC and without a large enough pop. to merit the lawyers invading and demanding they conform to the national standard.
I have no concept of what was regularly taught in my parents school. I ran across an old math book and was amazed at what was regular fare in 8TH GRADE!!!! Stuff I didn't learn until after 3 years of higher math (my senior year in High School).
They have managed to dumb the entire country down and how we will ever climb out I have no clue.

But the NFL players are so concerned with and help out their communities - like when Pac Man Jones showered 50 strippers with money at the Minxx strip club in Vegas. And the owners care so much too - like Jerry Jones going out of his way to get Greg Hardy onto the Cowboys knowing that he beats up women. Jerry's just a great guy giving a upstanding citizen of the community a second chance. They're all always doing their best to make the world a better place.

I have no concept of what was regularly taught in my parents school. I ran across an old math book and was amazed at what was regular fare in 8TH GRADE!!!! Stuff I didn't learn until after 3 years of higher math (my senior year in High School).

Looking through copies of the Wright Brothers notes is instructive. They only finished high school.

Compare and contrast to the deliberate decision of the NFL in the 70's to be explicitly pro-America; pro-working class.
You know, when they put the rule in the operations manual about standing for the National Anthem.
When they knew who their customers were--you, me.
Guys who get up and go to work before the Sun rises and often don't return home until it's dark.
On Sunday, we could sit and have a beer with the friends and forget all the bullshit of the weekdays.
Now?
Good luck with that guys.

If some states seceded, those states would immediately be taken over by actual communists in China or Russia. States that would secede, like CommieFornia, are run by complete morons and not the good kind.
So the rest of us would eventually lose what's left of our country, without an ocean to protect us but having the enemy right on our border.
No. As Steve Bannon says, we need to take back OUR country.

There's no reason to "allow" the entire geographical state of Kallyfornia to leave.
If they declare secession, move the military in to take the farmland and cut off the blue city shitholes. Then cut off their water supply.
Then let Jerry Brown figure out how to feed 5-10 million inner city welfare rats. Then let them suffer for a while. They'll squeal like stuck pigs. Fuck 'em.

If the concussion drumbeat continues, suburban moms and dads will forego sending little Ethan to peewee football. The feeder system will then get more ethnic, as children born in poverty see pro sports as one of the few paths to enrichment.It remains to be seen how sliding revenue and bottom line impact the prima donnas' salaries.

No need. Secession is certainly permitted under the Constitution. What happened in the Civil War was that the SOuthern states seceded and then the United States went to war with a foreign nation - afterwards readmitting the seceded states into the Union.
If secession wasn't possible then there would have been no reason to have to readmit the states into the Union.

Add an amendment that outlines the process if a state declares bankruptcy. Automatic territory status, military governorship, and immediate termination of all elected officials as well as any official paid over $x ($100,000?) without any opportunity for ever holding office again.
Then encourage them to enact single payer at the state level.

Posted by: Insomniac - Redneck Death Squad Ninja at October 18, 2017 01:46 PM (NWiLs)
Don't think that it would require the Federal government. You forsake the laws of the land, the laws of the land no longer protect you. And with a contiguous border next to potentially hostile tribes, and/or hostile tribes within, I think you might see a return to the wild west in short order, while you have given up the protection of the Federales.
Just because an existing government decides it wants to splinter off, it does not mean that they are owed continuity of allegiance/deference.
They haven't thought this through.

However when a lineman or DB, can't recall the position...got nabbed speeding across the Ben Franklin bridge with a PA legal gun (not legal in NJ)...they cut him without further ado.
In Lurie's universe: dog killer>kid who gets caught in non-reciprocal catch 22.

Lefty states like CA won't ever secede. Just like the whining bitches that never moved to Canada after the election, it's all about the tears and nothing more.
Besides, they need the rest of the states to manufacture the shit they would have people standing hours in line for.

This is the stupidest frikking thing I've ever seen in my life.
Football is in no way a "need".
It is a "want".
Not even a high level want...a sort of "eh, I got nuthin' better to do and I like seeing the Cowboys win" kinda want.
There is always something else to do.
No the NFL won't go away or bankrupt, but it will lose its status as a bit of Apple Pie Americana.
It will exist at a lower pay/lower status level...like pro-bowling.
And at that point, who cares to watch a bunch of guys who have the Privilege of Playing a Kid's Game into their late 30s/early 40s display their contempt for the people and country which allows them this privilege?
And the stupidest thing of all was this was a lame-ass bit of lookitmeism from Cupodicks, a guy who no longer has enough game to play in the big time.
Great job, a-holes!

When the Antifa riots start on Nov 4 please make sure you are there to personally lecture them on what wank fantasies they are having, and how they are just like the right wing in that respect. Make sure - for God's sake - that you aren't armed; you wouldn't want to contribute to the tension. Be serene in the certain knowledge that the police will be there to make sure you are safe and your freedom of speech rights are fully protected.

Curious as to what excuse she used for the switch. (I assume she once loved you or said she did.)
I'm fascinated by the reasons given. Especially these days of entitlement and rampant feminism.
Does anyone wonder about the fact that since no fault divorce became almost universal in the states that divorces are initiated by the women in 70percent of all filings?
That the majority of states have some sort of communal property laws and laws requiring the husband to give up residence in a house he's paid for and somehow find other shelter when his pay only barely helped pay for the house he's been removed from? That you never hear about these inequities from the feminists and male bashers. Only about wife abuse. (which also begs the question, what about the man when he is abused by his wife? Happens more than you think and not a small number.)
Ah well. You've gotten me started. I'll shut up now.

How can you honestly think that the country could split and the Lefties would be content with their own little empire? They wouldn't. They would try to find ways to force the other sections into compliance with what they want. You can't bargain with them and they will not let you live in peace. The only option is to destroy their influence. Every red state in the country is full of lefties in the cities.

Why the fuck you need a meeting about respecting the country you call home. It's all just another piss on Trump gesture by a bunch of illiterate fucktards. Owners and players.

How can you honestly think that the country could split and the Lefties would be content with their own little empire? They wouldn't.
Wouldn't matter what they want at that point.
The other side would be a sovereign nation. Lefties wouldn't get to dictate shit. Best they could do is start a war.

Oh, and who gets the nukes?
I'm going to keep pounding that point. There has never been a full scale civil war in a nuclear power. That would be so deep in uncharted territory that only a fool would not have nightmares.

the dead stump of the old one.
^That's stupid. 1st democrats don't get to steal parts of our country, not in 1861, not now. They do get to die by the hundreds of thousands and watch their cites burn. And yes a nightmare civil war is preferable to splitting up into other countries because if we split up into different countries we'd be fighting each other the next 200 years like Europe anyway. There can be no peace with the left or its puppets, they must be driven out or buried.

Here's the thing.
The NFL could have nipped this all in the bud last year by telling Kopernick's coach that he can't protest on the job, to stand up and be a part of the team. But they didn't. Now, too manay are involved in this idiotic stunt because the NFL set precedent that its perfectly fine to spend on job time with your personal schemes and tantrums, so they can't say no at this point. To many players are involved and how they have leverage and strength to defy the team and the league.
If they'd been smart about it, this would have been handled right up front. But they weren't and now they can soak in it.

OFFS, it's only football. "We" never declared it a national institution, and by the way that did not happen in the 70's. Football's PR department, not entirely divorced from certain shadowy gambling interests, worked from the 1930's on to Heisman-off the ethics lobby trying to outlaw it. Because--spoiler--it's crooked.
It will shock some of you snot-noses standing on my lawn that Rock and Roll Music was not part of the real-American football experience. It will shock you only because you've grown up with its glossy production values. Real football, pro, college, and high school, marched to Sousa. Even great old classic rock and roll like Elvis and the early Rolling Stones had no place there. Truth of the matter? Just looking like a rock fan could get you roughed up at any football game a scant 50 years ago. It changed.
Football wheedled its way into the National Institution business, to keep the baksheesh flowing. If the rest of us do not choose to "evolve" with the bootleggers and dope-dealers, well, we had Most Popular Sports before this one and they weren't all team ball games. Folks managed to have a good time.
Crew boat races, open-air swim meets, and rifle matches were the most popular spectator sports at the turn of the last century. American motor sport -- sprint cars and the Indianapolis 500 -- were immeasurably bigger than football in the 1950's. All those events are still being held. And they sell tickets for the public to watch. Compared to a hundred or so to watch the Ghetto Motherfuggas bash heads with the Drugged-Up Mish-Snatchers, admission is a tremendous bargain.
I know it's a metric four-by-four to the side of the head for sommayaz, but we don't need a constitutional convention to decide we like another game better.

Here's how you do it:
Right now, there is an illegal alien in custody, charged with arson in connection with the Sonoma County wildfires.
Have ICE put together a large SWAT team, and have them surround the facility where he is being held. Wetback doesn't leave, or get transferred, without ICE's say-so.
If California LEO's attempt to interfere with ICE, or worse, fire upon them, Trump declares California to be in rebellion, and send troops into Sacramento to arrest Jerry Brown, and all the Dems in the legislature, and hang them on the spot for treason.
That would send a message.

So, is this anti-american hatred reflective of old school prog hate or
new, replacement american hate of the normies they are replacing?
---
How much hate is real and how much is manufactured?
How many players are being forced to kneel, knowing that if they don't their team mates will let them get hurt on the field?
How many locally are doing it for attention?
Back in the day, there used to be something called the Silent Majority.
Today, those are the people that voted for Trump.
As for new prog hate vs. old prog hate, I think it's the same amount.
We just get to hear about it 24/7 and assume it's the majority.
Just like we assumed the majority would vote in the FAB.

Curious as to what excuse she used for the switch. (I assume she once loved you or said she did.)
I discovered a little bit too late that she came from a family of man-haters. It was only a matter of time before she turned against me.
I got down on myself for a long time after I got divorced and just recently realized that what happened to me would've happened to whomever she and her coven chose as their next victim.
So, back to our national divorce and the enemies within the gates...

Let's not forget that the 1st Amendment protects peaceful "protests" like kneeling for whatever or standing or sitting or laying around....done peacefully.
It's not like the players are inciting violence.
Other folks have the freedom to not watch.
I'm not watching nfl, haven't in years, and won't ever again.
We should all cherish our freedoms to choose.
Instead of trying to force players or 'actors' to stand up for something, they should simply be mocked and shunned as ridiculous, petty, ironic, and hypocritical.
Viewers tuning out is accomplishing exactly that, silently. Cutting the cord, not watching, not caring, and not ever going back is the course for me, an individual.
I can't make a millionaire child-man care for America or her symbols or anthems any more than he can make me care about his "protest" of her.
I still love the game of football, the strategies, the decisions, the grit, the togetherness that exemplifies teamwork, but I can no longer watch national football on account of the individuals not realizing what whole they are a part of.
They can choose to kneel. I can choose, too.
That is another great thing about America and the freedoms we all have, for now.
I have the freedom to laugh at them and not empower them with attention or money.
I have that freedom, until they tell me that laughing is 'hate speech', which is the endgame for SJW's here and abroad.
I choose to laugh at them, soundly and loudly.
'Merica!

That is another great thing about America and the freedoms we all have, for now.
I have the freedom to laugh at them and not empower them with attention or money.
I have that freedom, until they tell me that laughing is 'hate speech', which is the endgame for SJW's here and abroad.
I choose to laugh at them, soundly and loudly.
'Merica!

it's only football. "We" never declared it a national institution, and by the way that did not happen in the 70's. Football's PR department, not entirely divorced from certain shadowy gambling interests, worked from the 1930's on to Heisman-off the ethics lobby trying to outlaw it. Because--spoiler--it's crooked.
Yeah, NFL is an institution because they got rich and bought themselves into being an institution. People behind the game were geniuses at promotion and emotional manipulation, they did such a good job at turning basically a dull game into an exciting super spectacle with sound and graphics and replays and exciting-seeming narration.
When you turn what, 20 minutes of play into 4 hours of TV time and people still watch... its not the product, its you being really good at shaping the product and selling it.
The NFL was built by geniuses but isn't being run by them now. They're messing up the formula and getting it wrong, and as a result people are walking away.

I went to Sunday school as a kid (Temple Beth-El, Alexandria, Va) but since it was the next town over, we had to boogie home to make the beginning of "The NFL Today" show, and it was roughly 50/50 whether we made it (as a kid, I jizzed upon hearing the theme song). When I finally got Bar Mitzvah'd and no longer had to go, they changed the theme. :-<

California as a whole isn't the problem, it's really just San Fran, LA, and Sacramento.
Knockout half a dozen power plants, take down the long distance transmission lines, and the problem solves itself pretty quickly.
Imagine LA halfway through the 2nd week of an electricity embargo. Puts a smile on my face.

Of course not.
ISIS is just a social construct.
Also, it has been PROVEN that the Manchester bombing of the Ariana Grande concert had nothing to do with the peaceful religion of islam and was not a hate crime. It was the act of a Lone Wolf.
Just like that fellow in Vegas.
Lone. Wolf.

The problem is that you cannot protest or do your political activism on your job, unless that's what you're being paid for. Nobody wants that, nobody likes that. If I'm driving my taxi for you, you don't wanna hear my dissertation on abortion or taxes or national debt. If I'm modeling for your fashion house, nobody wants me to pull some political stunt on the runway.
Shut the hell up and do your job. Then, on your own time, you can do whatever you want. When you're on the job DO THE DAMNED JOB.

286 Honestly, the fans who still watch or go to games, at this point, just look like the ultimate fools.
No sympathy for them.
As PT Barnum said, "Never give a sucker and even break."
Unlike GOPe in Congress who are traitors & we have no current influence over. With the NFL we do have power. We can vote with our reaction and money. So we do have the power on this.
Depends if people use it. Tipping point. This is an easy win, if people care. But even on this site, last week, people were posting about the games as they watched.
But watershed moment for country, IMO. If people can't even give up something this non-essential to make a point, we've lost the bigger battles, and maybe the war.

That will sink the globalists like a rock with an anchor around its neck.
And we cancel the debt to China because the stole our intellectual property, manipualted their currency, and torture their slaves for profit, and gave nuke tech to the Norks to try to pressure US. The penalty/tax = $2T ... done.
DC? ... they can have it ... but a big tax on all goods moved into DC, and they can't print money anymore. We might need to kill the fed reserve ... keep the USD, but "refinance the debt" and make the USD great again. Keep the global reserve currency status, but no more QE or private fed bankers setting rates and front-running that currency action.

Baseball is magnificent on radio and in person (Football, much less so -- they cannot hide how little is actually happening on the field and how long it is, and you can't really see much of what is going on), but not as great on TV.

Respectfully, " if they are in your face about it" was meant as a hypothetical example. But they have in the past had emphasized that baristas have "open dialogue" about political issues - which went as you would imagine and was scrapped soon thereafter.
The NFL commissar is stuck in the "social responsibility" zone that many US corporations have adapted as a way to exemplify that they are not just a cold profit-making enterprise, but extol many of the PC-approved SJW ventures to paint them as a kinder, gentler capitalist enterprise. And most of these are straight out of the leftist playbook (Chick-fil-A & Hobby Lobby are exceptions, as their values are religious-based, not pulling as SJW political vehicles).

I really liked football when I was 13-14 years old. Have no idea what started the fascination, maybe because my neighborhood was all boys and I used to join them in playing touch football.
After a decades long hiatus I would tune in to games from time to time because my workplace was highly testosterized and I felt like I needed material for water cooler convos. I noticed how everything surrounding the game had gotten turbo-charged and amped up: radio announcer voices, graphics for the pre-game shows which by the way started on Saturday evening and continued on through game time.
It was all over the top and too much. Then the Sandusky scandal erupted and the awful situation in Sayreville NJ football team. I wondered wtf had happened to this game that used to be ...just a sport?

Respectfully, " if they are in your face about it" was meant as a hypothetical example. But they have in the past had emphasized that baristas have "open dialogue" about political issues - which went as you would imagine and was scrapped soon thereafter.
The NFL commissar is stuck in the "social responsibility" zone that many US corporations have adapted as a way to exemplify that they are not just a cold profit-making enterprise, but extol many of the PC-approved SJW ventures to paint them as a kinder, gentler capitalist enterprise. And most of these are straight out of the leftist playbook (Chick-fil-A & Hobby Lobby are exceptions, as their values are religious-based, not pulling as SJW political vehicles).

Well, of course he isn't going to be man enough to require these idiot players to stand. I fully expect this "optional" standing and showing reverence for the USA to immediately bleed into all things, most assuredly for any school event where our young people will get to disrespect their very own country. The leftists have taught so many to hate America. And hate it they will.

It really is, IMO, for many reasons. (I'm prejudiced, I'll admit.)
First, people don't get hurt.
Second, it's not nearly as specialized.
Third, because it's not as specialized, it tends to select for normal-sized people. The typical MLB player is around 6'1" 205 lbs. (With some exceptions, either way, of course.) It's not generally an advantage to be 7 feet tall, or weigh 300 lbs., because you have to haul that around in the field and on the bases.
In what other major sport would an Altuve be MVP, at 5'6" 170 lbs.? Hell, Willie Mays was only 5'10", 170 lbs.

They are too busy beating their wives/girlfriends, murdering, doing drugs, etc.

Will throw it out there again.
Don't know the mechanics/ins and outs of it, but Trump should instruct Mattis to disengage DOD from support for the NFL, now that they've formalized their stupid racist stunt-culture.
No flyovers. No color guards (where provided out of DOD resources). And especially - no advertizing associated with NFL broadcasts or events. Zero.
It is beyond outrageous that the USG - and the DOD itself - would in any way support this idiocy with taxpayers' $$$$.
Wonder if this idea has occurred to the WH or anyone at the five-sided puzzle palace?

"Electricity embargo is good. I would couple that with a food embargo. "
the first necessarily brings about the second, with some exceptions. Electricity embargo shuts down all refrigerated warehouses in the area, shuts down all shipment of refrigerated products.

The longer the games got, the louder and more spectacular it had to be to keep interest and hide how little was actually going on.
The Superbowl pregame stuff is the ultimate overkill. Week upon week of buildup and interviews and retrospectives and on and on.
Because its just one game. A couple hours and the entire season is over with. They need to milk it for more. Other sports its a multi-game final series so they have more days of content to keep attention and make money with. Football has just one game. So they milk it for all its worth ad its... really unappealing.

At this point, if this were really about whatever the players claim it
is about, they would give it up because it's only alienating people from
their cause.
I got into a pretty lengthy twitter argument months ago about this. It was enlightening.
What do you and I believe is the point of a protest? To raise awareness and bring others to our cause, right? To say, "This is good/this is bad, and here's why." Because we protest to change things from the ground up.
The leftists sniping at me in my timeline were of a different view. "No, protest is to force change. It's to make people in power uncomfortable so that they fix things."
To leftists it's not about gaining support from the ground up, but about coercing action from the top down.
That made the Mizzou debacle make so much more sense in my eyes. Here are a bunch of idiot students complaining about some illusory affront to their dignity, but instead of getting their faces and placards in front of every camera they could find, they were actively keeping cameras AWAY. Hence Melissa Click's "I need some muscle over here!" gaffe.
At the time I wondered why any protest worth its salt would be actively trying to AVOID publicity. Now I know. They don't want to persuade and cause organic social change. They want to shortcut that whole business and go straight to the levers of power to force artificial, socially engineered change from above.
Once I'd made that realization I felt awfully silly for not figuring it out sooner, since it perfectly matches the left's modus operandi in all other things.

He said that people had tried to do something about it and been destroyed.
Also, Reese Witherspoon talked about her assaults. That shocked me. She started very early in business. Under 16. Anyway, you can read her speech &'Facebook post. Her hisband is also a bigwig at an agency.
It sounded to me like they are going to form an organization to protect the girls coming up now. That's what she implied to the audience. So Hollywood may not break apart, but they are going to be held accountable going forward, for the first time. And there are some power hitters to make sure.

I don't think he's stuck. He agrees with them so do the owners.
"that many US corporations have adapted as a way to exemplify that they are not just a cold profit-making enterprise, but extol many of the PC-approved SJW ventures to paint them as a kinder, gentler capitalist enterprise."
So you will keep financing them as long as they don't
get in your face about it? LOL
Well, they will get in your face, maybe not in the actual store, but they are financing BLM, Anti-Fa and every other leftist, globalist group intent on destroying this country.
Or even if they don't get in your face at all, you are ok with financing them to get into the faces of say Christian bakers?

DoD probably thinks they get cheap advertising with flyovers and such ... and they do, sort of. But since NFL (and Hillary) are now anti-America BLM supporters, let them lose all the pro-America pageantry along with it. There are other places to advertise, and to attract patriots instead of communists that will go to West Point while claiming "communism will win".
Military is a good career choice ... make it a patriots-only, flag burners need not apply thing and we are all better off.

The DH rule ruined baseball.
It didn't do baseball any favors, but they keep piling on. now the catcher can't block the plate, you can't charge anyone at second to break up the double play, they now have that rule where you "signal" an intentional walk instead of having to actually pitch it, the stupid video challenges, etc.
MLB has a golden opportunity here and they're crapping all over it.

I don't mind interleague play, but I hate the DH rule. It's a step toward the "footballization" of MLB, i.e., the tendency toward specialization.
Think how much fun football would be if everyone played both ways again. Now coaches would have to balance a player's performance on offense against his performance on defense, and conditioning would be a huge factor.
Now it's like those video games where you get to choose maximum firepower, maximum armor, and maximum speed, i.e., you don't have to make any tactical decisions on firepower vs. armor vs. speed.

Cutting out virtually everything you wrote in favor of one small thing:
I hate interleague play because it feels less consequential in some ways that the rest of the games. I also think it's lazily put together (especially the idea of following the rules of the home league). I'd be a fair bit happier if the home team had to adopt the opposite league's rules, especially around the DH. Give the home audience a perspective of the other league's play up close.
Also, it seems to make the WS less consequential on some level. We could have two teams that already met this year. The only rematches should be from previous WS's.

I don't like interleague play either. It messes up the schedule, it weakens rivalries, it makes the All-Star game more meaningless. Wrong move, but of all the changes they've made recently probably the least wrong.
Oh, you know what they want for the future? Like maybe next year?
In extra inning games, start spotting runners on base when the inning starts. To get it over faster, you see. Some of those extra inning games were as long as a single regular football game for crying out loud.

386 Take a look at the Fortune 500 companies. If you look at their Annual Report, they all espouse all of the "good works" their companies do outside of their main business operations.
They are all attached to "social responsibility." Outside of local and small business that do not have the time or care to diversify its brand and name recognition for such causes, you are already financing them without knowing about it.
Protip: any company affiliated with "The United Way" is running in the "social responsibility" waters.

I think they're going to stop cowtowing to 3rd wave feminists and become completely dominated by 3rd wave feminists.
The cash cows will get twisted so much more than they already have.
I don't know about that. 3rd wave feminists did nothing in this situation. In fact, some of the actresses talked about the women directors/producers in Hollywood being the ones that caused the issues. It's not male/female. A lot of men and boys were also victims.
It's a power dynamic. Piers Morgan ripped into Streep & Kate Winslet and their hypocrisy in 2 columns that were glorious.

In extra inning games, start spotting runners on base when the inning starts. To get it over faster, you see. Some of those extra inning games were as long as a single regular football game for crying out loud.

Remember that fat redhead pitcher for the Nats? He was a reliever and the crowd went nuts when he jogged out to the mound from the bullpen. I loved him and he was a hero for a time but I forgot his name.
His uniform was always off-kilter too, like the pants were usually flood length. Loved that guy.

As though all success comes at someone else's expense.
The entire expression is anti-achievement and perverts the whole concept of wealth creation.
I suppose if you really want to "give back" you can honor your parents. Beyond that, no, sorry, that's just nonsense.

The problem I see with dissolution is that in just about every case it's not entire states that are going rogue, it's specific regions and often just the large metro areas. New York would be a far different state without the NYC metro area for example. Or Atlanta in Georgia.
How you go about peeling them away while retaining the rest of the state is beyond me.
Posted by: JackStraw at October 18, 2017 02:44 PM (/tuJf)

Yes. Electricity, roads, watermains, etc. The infrastructure is too tightly connected.
I think the way this would work itself out would be if individual states seceded, and would drastically change their policies towards cities, for instance really cracking down on sanctuary cities. The people in these cities would then migrate out of the red nation to the blue nation of their own volition. Blue states would no doubt do the same. In other words there would be two phases to secession: voter driven phase to get the state to secede, then a policy driven phase to persuade people to resettle.

Yes. Electricity, roads, watermains, etc. The infrastructure is too tightly connected.
I think the way this would work itself out would be if individual states seceded, and would drastically change their policies towards cities, for instance really cracking down on sanctuary cities. The people in these cities would then migrate out of the red nation to the blue nation of their own volition. Blue states would no doubt do the same. In other words there would be two phases to secession: voter driven phase to get the state to secede, then a policy driven phase to persuade people to resettle.

That's assuming that the most motivated activists won't take complete advantage of the situation to claim more power for themselves. We know it won't be the right's activists. It'll be the left's.
The Left has always ruled Hollywood. I don't see that changing. But I do want to see people protected from sexual abuse and having their lives ruined.
As far as the product that Hollywood puts out, that only changes if people stop watching it. They already appear bankrupt of ideas. Everything is Superhero movies or re-boots. And nudity and slime continues to increase. Stuff is unwatchable. But until people stop watching in droves, just like with NFL, things won't change.

And honestly, if EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD could figure out how to
dig a frigging well, and dig holes to crap in to keep the shit out of
the drinking water, and build g-ddamn aqueducts and plumbing apparatus
before Christ was born, WHAT THE HELL IS AFRICA'S EXCUSE? Time to catch
up on that learning curve, folks. Time to take that bull by the horn's
and turn it loose.

LOL. This was discussed on another, less reputable site yesterday.
The conclusion was: wells are women's work.
Women don't know how to repair wells.
So the wells don't get repaired.
And fall into disrepair.
/also... Africa is a place where "working" is not really a thing; howver, making babies, spreading disease and walking 10 miles for a jug of water, as opposed to living next to the water, is totes SOP.

Kind of apropos of some comments, a phrase that sticks in my craw is "to give back."
As though all success comes at someone else's expense.
The entire expression is anti-achievement and perverts the whole concept of wealth creation.
I suppose if you really want to "give back" you can honor your parents. Beyond that, no, sorry, that's just nonsense.
=========
THIS.
"Give back" assumes that you owe someone.
A company doesn't owe shit to anyone outside of any contracts or customer/seller/provider relationship.
Businesses don't exist to build playgrounds in the inner city.

The problem I see with dissolution is that in just about every case it's
not entire states that are going rogue, it's specific regions and often
just the large metro areas. New York would be a far different state
without the NYC metro area for example. Or Atlanta in Georgia.
How you go about peeling them away while retaining the rest of the state is beyond me.

People can vote with their feet. If Austinites or Madisonians don't want to live in the USA, they can move back to the California Republic. If Illini don't want to live in a nation dominated by Chicago, they can move to The USA -- Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, etc.
I can see a couple of cases where a big chunk of the new nation may secede and want to join the USA, as West Virginia did. Perhaps that would include northern and eastern California, eastern Oregon and Washington, and upstate New York.
But in general, I would think there would be a reshuffling of population.

1. a pitch clock...after 6 seconds the pitcher can throw, batter ready or not
2. Only 2 pitchers can appear in an inning
3. Enforce the actual strike zone, as written in the rules, not "I ignore the high and low strike because F you I'm the Umpire"
4. If a batter tips the ball into the catcher's glove AT ANY COUNT it is an out
Suddenly games are faster!

They're not naming names beyond the Weinstein's. They want it to end their with the abusers and gain their victim status, and a paycheck.

their water supply, and not to drag goatskins through the crap in the
village.
ARRRRRGH!
*tears hair*
It's got to be the world's longest con job. That's the only answer. Idiotic notions of cultural appropriation aside, "ways to keep shit out of our water" tend to be among those things that spread easily between cultures, because no one wants to drink sewage water. Africa is not some far-flung place with no access to the outside world. It's been long enough by now that "don't drink downstream of the herd" should have sunk into the continental consciousness.
So it's a con job, but it's a con job that's gone on FOREVER. I mean hell, if I could get a bunch of eager, earnest college grads to fix up my house, dig me a well, hand me a wad of cash and inoculate my chickens, and all I had to do in return is nod my head and say, "I understand," I'd be signing up for it without a second thought.

Wow. This is the problem with making everything political. And about male/female power dynamics being what people care about. And since you want to dump on Judd & Rose. Guess what? If men had not allowed it, then you wouldn't be getting this, now would you.
You all seem concerned about that, not the victims. It'll be a shit show? It already is a shit show. I care about the people, the children, the men and women whose lives were totally ruined. It has been going on for decades. No one did anything.
So yea, as I posted above, Hollywood will still suck. But at least people will have some protection.

No flyovers. No color guards (where provided out of DOD resources). And especially - no advertizing associated with NFL broadcasts or events. Zero.
It is beyond outrageous that the USG - and the DOD itself - would in any way support this idiocy with taxpayers' $$$$.
Wonder if this idea has occurred to the WH or anyone at the five-sided puzzle palace?
All of that is paid advertisement military recruiting anyhow, none of that ra/ra shit was authentic.

Unfortunately, you're wrong. They won't have protection. Or rather, they'll have protection if they walk the party line of the protectors. It'll be the same as it was under Weinstein, but reversed.
People are petty. Hollywood people triply so.

Wow. This is the problem with making everything political. And about male/female power dynamics being what people care about. And since you want to dump on Judd & Rose. Guess what? If men had not allowed it, then you wouldn't be getting this, now would you.
You all seem concerned about that, not the victims. It'll be a shit show? It already is a shit show. I care about the people, the children, the men and women whose lives were totally ruined. It has been going on for decades. No one did anything.

I appreciate your awareness on the subject. But even the most mundane purchases, including utilities, gas, internet providers, even web ads are included in the "social responsibility" zone, whether you know it or are willing to admit it.
But you are on the right track about going local - commendable. But we are all financing this blemish on commercialism, whether it's blatantly known or unknown.
------------------
Well, thank you but I'll go you one even better. I turn off javascript and photos so I don't even see the ads when surfing. I can turn them on at will with "NoScript".
including utilities, gas, - that's getting too deep into the weeds.
The point is buying from Starbucks or the NFL is a frivolous purchase that finances the enemy. Anyone can find a different place to get a cup of coffee or learn to make your own.
And even if I am forced to finance some things. I'd rather be at 5% financing than 100%.

Wow. This is the problem with making everything political. And about
male/female power dynamics being what people care about. And since you
want to dump on Judd Rose. Guess what? If men had not allowed
it, then you wouldn't be getting this, now would you.
Men allowed it. So did women. Rose and Ashley allowed it. So did Jane Fonda, Gwyneth Paltrow, Meryl Streep, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Tom Hanks, and dozens of others who KNEW and DID NOTHING. Don't blame me for making this political. Abuse isn't political. I'm not "dumping" on Ashley Judd Rose McGowan. I'm actively describing their feminist ideologies. They are rabid 3rd wave feminists, and if you think they will give up this opportunity to turn the screws on Hollywood in general, and men in particular, viciously and without scruples, you are naive.
I have sympathy for the victims. I have the most sympathy for those whose career's faltered after crossing Weinstein. I have no sympathy for those who enabled his behavior, even if they were victimized themselves. That includes McGowan and Judd. I'm glad they're doing something now, and I hope that, in the end, a better, less predatory industry grows from Hollywood's ashes.

Agreed. But you see that this 60 year evolution of corporate "social responsibility" has seeped into almost anything / everything that is purchased and produced on a large scale and scope.
It is sickening to me that you buy one thing and finance the both the producer and third parties in the purchase price (govt, and socially responsible third party linked to the producer).
A lot of this is due to the tax-code, where corporations can deduct charitable & inkind contributions to these 501c entities - the SJW social responsible ones. The utility company is likely spending dollars on an SJW environmental project, but wouldn't know it without checking it out for yourself. So are the "evil" big oil companies. They have been forced to finance things contrary to their initial business purpose.
But you are right, the less you willingly finance these efforts, the better.

Keep poking us, in the misguided notion that we don't bite.
Ask Megyn Kelly about our teeth.
Ask the NFL
Ask Hollywood, and their ongoing drought of "blockbusters."
Ask the GOPe
Ask the governors of states where we are exiting
Ask the colleges and universities that are starting to struggle without our kids and their tuition
Ask ISIS in Raqqa
Ask the "mainstream media" as they become more and more trivial.
Small things; large things... doesn't matter. There is no more "polite" left. Perhaps we don't start it, but we don't roll over any more. We take our money and we leave. We take our votes, and we leave. We deploy troops - troops who overwhelmingly are us - and we let them do their jobs.
Now, if we can only get the deficit under control, perhaps there is some hope.

Not-breaking news:
The Left already has seceded. It routinely ignores laws it doesn't like, which would be fine if it didn't ruthlessly enforce the statutes and regulations it likes. So the Left has seceded and also is an occupation government in the areas that have not.
We have to man up, acknowledge secession has taken place, and negotiate borders and treaties. The only other option is war to throw out the occupiers.

Well, four questions: If California (and any other stupid state) leaves, how are they going to compensate us for our naval base in San Diego? I'm not willing to let that go easily or cheap. Perhaps we might stay there as we would other foreign countries, but they damn well better recognize we are protecting their lame asses.
Two: When does the walls around California go up?
Three: They go and we continue to be the United States. Our Constitution remains the longest running. We're not starting from scratch because we didn't f*** it up, they did. (And John McCain can go with them.)
Four: Suppose California really does secede? At which number do we start the countdown to when they shift their eyes to a new prize? Ten days? When they realize they can't pay their bills and our wealth becomes "unfair"?

The whole business model of Hollywood and the NFL relies on one thing: An audience. Eyeballs, butts in seats, etc. They are pissing off a significant percentage of people, everyday - millions of potential paying customers. As the old saying goes, it's a lot cheaper to retain an existing customer than get a new one.
There's also a whole generation of people who do not want to pay for ANYTHING - They watch videos on YouTube, or pirate movies, or play video games they buy six months after release for 50% off. I have three sons, and only one of them expresses any interest in any movies at all. All three barely watch TV, one not at all. They are not atypical. The "coveted" 18-34 year old bracket are tuning out, and politics have nothing to do with it.
You keep your customers HAPPY, by providing VALUE for their dollars. And right now, while many are struggling... the economy is improving. Gas prices, energy costs, and food costs are down... and increasing competition is driving down the prices of goods and services across America. Any extra dollars people have... in many cases, it's not going to Hollywood.
The final shoe to drop is Netflix. Netflix is THE big disruptor, as it started the movement of people from theaters to their homes - pouring BILLIONS into original content. Amazon has followed suit.
The problem is, the growth and spending they have poured into creating new content - it's not sustainable. If Netflix and Amazon stop spending it will cripple many if not all studios and production companies... Netflix will spend $8 BILLION next year. What if people stop subscribing, and they then stop that spend? DOOM.
I think it'll happen by 2019/2020. Hulu/Netflix/Amazon/etc. will pull back from original content. Disney will sell ABC and ESPN. Time Warner will dump CNN. And Hollywood will be BEGGING people to watch their shows and movies. BEGGING.
THAT'S a show I'll enjoy watching.

It is now time to let the other shoe drop on Hollywood and the NFL. Until now it was necessary to point out that they basically held their audience in contempt. But now that is understood and the terrain has shifted.
Now they have pivoted to attempting to lock-in a smaller but rabidly partisan sub set of their remaining viewers. For this to succeed they need to remain a topic of conversation among their former viewers. Their only value now is in being able to draw in viewers who perceive them as an effective tool to agitate the other.
The means to deny them this is to deny them any further mindspace at all. Do not post about not watching. Do not discuss their latest attempt to provoke controversy. Simply cease making any mention of them whatsoever.

You don't need to. Their audience is now SJW bitter clingers who don't actually like football. The only incentive they have to tune in is to attempt to inject their narrative into the media stream. In order to that, they need command their former audience's attention through continued acts of provocation. Without that attention, they cannot inject the narrative into the media stream and the whole enterprise fails. With it, they are able to nurse along with a smaller, partisan audience and the free promotion that comes through commentary on the web and linking to monetized video. The advertisers will figure it out soon enough.
I'm not saying we should ignore them to be polite. I'm saying we should ignore them because it is now the thing that will ensure the rotten enterprise comes crashing down.

All the empty seats at all of these stadiums... Those are season ticket holders, staying home.
So the impact to the NFL this year is minimal. They don't show up, then they don't buy beer and hot dogs, or overpriced jerseys.
When all those people decide to not buy season tickets NEXT season? And when local business don't buy those expensive skyboxes? That's when the NFL will see the material impact to their bottom line.
So don't expect any change this year. Expect a HOLY SHIT FIX THIS moment around about August/September next year.

Secession? spoken like a true Yankee.
We already tried that, my friend: and They never "let" you go.
Oh, and before everyone starts yelping about fighting "for slavery" -- 98% OF SOUTHERNERS OWNED NO SLAVES.
The vast majority of Confederate soldiers were fighting for, get this: Southern INDEPENDENCE. And to get the Yankees out of the South and off of their necks.
Moral of that episode is this: the section of the country that won had 3 times the manpower and 5 times the money, also almost all the iron foundries, etc., and heavy industry needed to fight a war.
After the war, the North didn't "readmit" the Southern states to the Union -- they ruled the South with MILITARY RULE for NINE YEARS, and they also stripped the vote from Every Single Person who either fought for the Confederacy or "gave aid and comfort to" their fellow Southerners.
In other words, the North broke the South's back for trying to escape their dominance, and they were vindictive in victory. They also set up the toxic conditions for the blacks to be scapegoated: simultaneously with stripping the white male Southerners of the vote, the Yankees gave the vote to the illiterate black males. The latter were innocent, but they were also puppets in the hands of the conquerors, and that led to the pendulum swinging hard in the other direction when white Southerners finally got control of their own states back.
IOW, it was no romantic crusade to free the slaves: it was a brutal power/$$$ struggle.
