This horse shit has speeded up. Finally noticed even by sports fans. Excluding youz guyz, of course, you all are well aware all along. But the apolitical sports fans must now be forced to take notice. While the young and new sports fans think this is how life is and should be, and your manner of enjoying sports is resigned to unfamiliar history. <br /><br />Sigh, Old Men, you are now grandpa's whose values were formed in a previous era. Your complaints will be racked up old fogy syndrome and not to admired advanced experience and learning.<br /><br />I just awoke from a dreadful dream initiated by recent reading of REDDIT post titles and other recent events. Its details somewhat amusing, while its development uncomfortably self-revealing and revealing of how butt-rapingly stupid and politically thick headed are the people that I know and had such fun with previously. I woke up just now totally bummed out. My most fun friends are truly too stupid to bear. And I say that humbly, rather stupid and thick headed myself. Bu they're self-righteous and set in concrete and I'm not. I'm open to change, in the world and myself, and they are not. And they cannot be taught. Anything. <br /><br />Trying to get them to become aware of the real damage their party is doing to our country and doing that through their support, and the reason for their support being unacceptable identity politics has proven impossible. So that the only thing left is cut off the flow my energy to that, plug the hole and stop the energy drain. Life it too short, too precious to squander. Until I can think of something better, and my dreams keep informing me that is not going to happen. <br /><br />Know what's better than all that? Trump rallies. That's what.

Too much baloney, politics and likely game fixing.<br /><br />Baseball died for me with the 1994 strike. I was a teenager and said a pox on both their greedy houses. Ruined the Giants chances that year. I've not been to a game since I was a kid. The only time I really paid any attention was in '04 with the BoSox winning, because my Dad had been a lifelong fan. We used to go see them play the A's in Oakland. He died a few weeks before they won. I still want to go to Fenway, just to have been there but thats it.<br /><br />I've not paid much attention to the NFL for over ten years, usually just the playoffs. I won't miss it. The niners haven't been the same since the 80s haydays anyway. The NBA has just gone full on hip-hop ghetto ball in the past 20 years. Which is fine, but I'm not going to support it. Just don't give me any of that crud like mentioned in the MLB post below on race differences.<br /><br />Well, ok. I will still pay attention to the NFL in October to see how much pink the teams are wearing for boobie cancer month.

I wish I spent money on sports so I could stop doing it too. It makes perfect sense to end a relationship that takes you for granted and no longer holds up their end. I wish minorities would do that with Dems. I really hope this backfires in a huge way on the NFL. My 25 yr old step-son is extremely excited about the start of the season right now, and could care less about the politics being injected, so people like him will probably replace the boycotts. The NFL counts on you loving the game too much. I wish they got that idea smacked out of them this time, but ...bagoh20https://www.blogger.com/profile/10915174575358413637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-30143537988259932602016-09-12T21:05:07.016-04:002016-09-12T21:05:07.016-04:00With the NFL, its not really the players - its the...With the NFL, its not really the players - its the owners.

Some time around Feb maybe, I was still in the Staph Infection (Staphylococcus Aureus) ward, but the staph was gone and I just had a skin graft. One day I looked up and there was Bart Starr. He was visiting wounded GIs in Japan. A class act for sure.AllenShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08848966772462502893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-21972797523552821802016-09-12T19:04:58.865-04:002016-09-12T19:04:58.865-04:00At Fenway, Kid Rock yells, "F*ck Colin Kaeper...At Fenway, <a href="http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2016/09/video-kid-rock-fenway-park-concert-fck-colin-kaepernick/#disqus_thread" rel="nofollow">Kid Rock yells, "F*ck Colin Kaepernick"</a>.<br /><br /><br />Backlash, it's fan-tastic.edutcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15033144261502435196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-87162175495969778622016-09-12T19:00:03.242-04:002016-09-12T19:00:03.242-04:00That's the way to hit them - in the pocketbook...That's the way to hit them - in the pocketbook.<br /><br />When you hear fans say if the Dolphins (or anybody else) sit while the anthem plays, the team is dead to them, that is when the rubber hits the road.<br /><br />I am tired of privileged, overpaid thugs doing anything they want and getting away with it because Roger Goodell (in this case) is a PC weenie.<br /><br />You mention Sam Huff and Bart Starr and Johnny Unitas and Ben Davidson and Mike Curtis and Mike Ditka.

So they want to shed the white working class fans who have been the backbone of professional sports teams for as long as anyone can remember. <br /><br />Things won't change immediately. There is still a great residual appeal. But in time the effects will be felt. In empty stadiums and full merchandise shelves.

An identity of dystopian identity politics and the politics of personal destruction. To create an atmosphere where citizen is pitted against citizen. Where distrust is sewn into the cultural fabric. Where the controllers are protected by their multi-layered wall of guards from people who can never touch them, but can reach out and touch you if they so choose.<br /><br />This is another attack on our institutions and this is why these people need to be removed. They are the wedges being hammered into the constructs of our country and they have no opposition. Instead people say, fuck it, I won't even participate and instead of fighting back and telling the NFL to go fuck themselves, do what we say or you will lose money, people just throw up their hands and take it. When is enough, enough?Methadrashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07828014989470539375noreply@blogger.com
