Sports news recently has been filled with stories of football players doing bad things. Shooting people, beating spouses or girlfriends, beating children, abandoning children fathered with numerous women, drug and steroid abuse, thuggish on-and-off-field behavior, and much more.
It's all so one-sided. The NFL players of good character never make news, it seems, only the few who do bad things. There is a lack of balance in the sports news coverage, probably because doing good things doesn't make good news.
Green Bay's quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been quietly working to help raise funds to fight childhood cancer. He doesn't make a big deal about it publicly, but his efforts have been very successful. Watch this.
The onion cutting ninjas invaded my space by the end of the video.
Here is another example.

Thanks, Haz.
I really like the ninja move Rodgers put on Stephen Tulloch, I must say. Boy has some powerful mojo.
There was New Yorker cartoon from long ago.
One guy is in a bar talking to another guy.
CAPTION: Anymore these days, before I do anything, I ask myself "Is this good for baseball?"
I've added another video of another player who is doing the right thing, standing by his daughter.
The full-on NFLISBAD coverage is almost like it's been planned in advance. Why the focus on the Washington Redskins when there are two (2) baseball teams with highly offensive Amerindian mascots? Why?? And the dopes on sports tv just go along with it. Sportscasters are such lickspittle morons. Olberdouche.
Thanks for the balance.
This is part of a planned assault on the NFL. The vast machinery of the politically correct thought control police are moving on another bastion of conservative traditional values. Just as they have tried to force the church to pay for abortions and college age frat boys be forced to drop out of school because they looked at a girl or the Mormons be ridiculed in song on Broadway......it is all of a piece.
When you pile on like these douchebag sportscasters you only serve to aid the assault on traditional values. Criminals should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. The rest of this caterwauling and pissing and moaning is just to make these pajama boy mo's look all "sensitive " and "progressive."
The attack on the Redskins and this attempt to demonize the league as criminals is part of an attempt to bring them down. The NFL is just laying down and not giving their fans a chance to support them.
The NFL used to be Vince Lombardi and George Halas and Wellington Mara and Art Rooney. Guys who didn't back down and fought for their team and their league.
Now the NFL is Mitt Romney.
The best defense is a good offense.
The NFL has a lot of power. Ratings power. But you lose power if you do not use it.
A quiet word in the right ear would shut this frenzy down.
Kapernick was fined for using a racial slur.
He is of color, right? Something does not add up.
I think he might be a long lost child of the Rooney clan - first name "Quadra". Or "Octa"
That is all.
The stories of two good men. Bravo.
Colin Kaepernick's dad was black. He denies saying anything offensive and the guy he was talking to also originally denied it but has since changed his story.
So what if he uses a racial slur. I thought we had freedom of speech in this country. What the fuck?
Does everything have to be so politically correct? This is what happens when you force someone to lose their job or sell their team or be cut because they said something somebody finds offensive. Fuck that noise.
If the manly men of the NFL don't stand up to this then there is no hope for the rest of the country.
Look I am not a big fan of Vince Lombardi. He was a traitor who left the Giants to coach a bupkis team out in the sticks because Wellington Mara let him out of his contract instead of holding him to be the next coach of the Giants instead of that asswipe Allie Sherman.
But Vince Lombardi never would have stood silent when Ray Rice battered around his wife. He would have cut his ass and that would have been that. He wouldn't have pissed his panties and asked the feminazi's and the cocoa sipping pajama boys for their forgiveness because he didn't do it fast enough or exactly like they wanted him to do it. He would have said enough is enough...shut up..it's time to smash heads and play football.
The social justice assholes have been working up to this for some time. Businesses are there to make money and please their customers and owners/shareholders. That's it. Not be accountable to interest groups with manufactured campaigns and complaints and boycott power. The NFL, and a lot of other businesses, failed to take a stand early and make this point. There's far less domestic violence in the ranks of the NFL players than in the population at large. The Redskins logo is not racist. If Kaepernick's target didn't mind his comments in the moment then it is not an issue that should bother anyone else. NFL customers (fans) could start their own campaign to return the NFL to the fans of the game. Call the advertisers and let them know that you do not agree to support their caving to a transparently political attack on a treasured American institution.
Also, stop reading sportswriters who kowtow to the social justice assholes. And complain to networks and newspapers who hire them to lecture fans on topics they are not qualified to discuss.
I started my own campaign - it is simple - not to watch a single down of football between now and the Superbowl.
So far, so good.
At 6 in the morning I can watch Mike and Mike, get caught up with all the NFL PC violations, listen to Rome in the shop when the power tools aren't running, and laugh about how pathetic Cam Newton is in between times. Or, to be truly amused, read something written by Aydwian Peetahsuh - Buckwheat thinks that guy is illiterate and inarticulate.
But if I can't find something better to do than watch a game then my life truly is empty.
Fuck the NFL.
I totally agree with you Amartel. But when the league itself kowtows to them the regular fan who would support the pushback has no where to go and nothing to do. The actual fans who go to the games and pay the ticket prices and get the cable packages.
It is just like the conservative voter who has a choice between the Rhino and the Democrat. You have no where to go because of the lack of leadership in the league.
So Goodell should go. But not for an affirmative action hire like Condi. Get a real football guy in there who knows what he is talking about and won't take any crap.
Is Jack Lambert still alive? How about Conrad Dobler or even better how about Reggie White!
Now Reggie White would be perfect!
Wait a minute he croaked.
Well you know what? Even dead he would be a better commissioner.
And you know I never say nice things about Green Bay Packers.
This is twice in one day.
I think I feel sick.
"He is of color, right? Something does not add up."
Only half. So they reduced the fine by 50%
We need more stories in the MSM about NFL players doing good. Maybe, that's something Goodell can do, when he stops kissing Kieth Olbermann's ass.
The only hope for the NFL is to hire Mel Gibson or Rush Limbaugh. Guys who don't care about being PC.
Well, maybe Rush.
And Great to See AllenS back! For a while, I thought he'd sold his farm and retired to a South Sea Isle.
Yo, Allen! Is the hay in?
It is good to see Allen back. And, I guess a heartwarming video has different effects on different people.
