Excellent!!! So true..atime back the owners of some NFL teams testified in front of congress committees that because professional football was an entertainment industry not a sports industry fixing games was not illegal. I had always had questions about it's honesty but that brought it out in the open. How anyone could still watch and support a league that ignores all of the things you list plus more is puzzling to say the least. But for them to be worshipped and glorified as they are is sinful. While the gladiators fought each other and the citizens cheered Rome fell.
Dart’s groveling and begging for acceptance was really really disgusting to watch. He should have told them to eat a dick and apologize to him when they realize how retarded they are, not sit there explaining himself like he owed them a damn thing. As for the teammates like Carter spewing their toxic Leftism on camera - it’s par for the course. We don’t expect much from most of these brainwashed morons.
I blame the Giants for not shutting this down now. In Pro football, the most important position, by far, is the Quarterback. Dart is still young but has tremendous upside and layed it on the line for his team in a big way last year. If I am the GM or HFC, I would pull Carter aside and let him know that this will not be tolerated any longer as it is much easier to find someone to take his job instead of a franchise QB.
I'm not a football fan. Hell, I don't like any sports. Maybe because I was a thin nerd as a youngster and the forced sports participation in school led to my ass being beat and bruised by others with more physique and anger to succeed in sports.
But as I read through this before hitting the satire statement, I was thinking that some people are too smart for their own good and making judgements about others based on statistics. It does highlight the increased polarization we too often find ourselves enmeshed in, and for what? (I'm guilty, BTW)
We used to meet and greet people without those thoughts nagging us, and judgements being made about their political leaning so as to determine whether we could speak (about our favorite political topics) without offending our being offended.
I envy watching fun, natural and easy going exchanges amongst people. Have we lost so much humanity in choosing to focus on our differences, instead of joyfully celebrating our individual or shared successes and accomplishments?
BTW, I sat in a fast food restaurant the other day, with a TV on the wall with 6 different sports programs on at once. My eyes kept being drawn to one panel showing two guys in a mixed martial arts type of sport. It disturbed me more that people are enjoying watching two people pummel each other, possibly having life long injuries. Yes, they chose to be there, but to have so many pay to watch this as entertainment just baffles me. And I like our president, but setting up a UFC match on the White House lawn in celebration of our 250th birthday as a country just feels so wrong.
It feels like we're celebrating the same type of basal violence preceding the downfall of Rome. Surely, we as a country could celebrate more as a nation and this great experiment with freedom that the world envy's?
I take it you didn’t offer the guy a copy of your book. But I do recognize that could’ve been dangerous given their propensity towards criminality! But I figured you could take him on if need be. 🤭
NFL? Stopped paying any attention to them when "taking a knee" started happening at the beginning of games instead of only at the end. Turns out, it was a soap-opera for men all along anyway – don't miss it at all.
NFL football is a globalist elitist grift. It’s been totally weaponized to bludgeon patriotic conservatives and ultimately subvert them to z globalist causes…

I wish you had said it was satire up front. I read the entire thing thinking that you must be overworked and in need of a break. 😋

One of your best pieces.

I won't pay obscene amount$ to attend ANY professional sport event.
And if enough others would follow suit, collectively we could begin to fix this Roman Circus.
(Literally, professional NFL these days is gladiator stuff with just an occasional death.)
There's no way on my death bed I would want to be remembered as the guy
who mastered _)^D^#@! with any ball, golf, base, basket , foot....
I think most professional players regret what they can't do after they retire at the age of 30...
They literally have no other skills or talents. Certainly most have little brains.
So they make commercials for tv.
But please, don't dabble in politics.
You don't know your ass from 3rd base about ANYTHING.
