Its paltry because the platform the NFL players have is worth a lot more than 80 million. How much do companies pay to get commercials during NFL games? Now lets say you could not only get a commercial, but get questions asked about your commercial at the press conference after the game. And lets say your commercial…

These guys are on TV every week and grab a good chunk of the news cycle every week until February. They are topics on morning talk shows and getting tweeted at by the POTUS.

Who said anything about rights? The bottom line is, the owners are easily replaceable. The players are not.

I feel like this door thing isn’t the issue. I mean, I’m pretty sure he was gonna do shit regardless of whether had to close the door himself

This is a very America problem. All i’m thinking is “free lunch! nice”

All of what you’ve said makes sense - I’d just consider that the dollar did unseat gold. Why? Because it was easier to move. Rich people can adapt, and if enough rich people start pushing crypto, the other rich people will either fight (and they could lose) or join.

Copper is more valuable than gold if you are building a house in a vacuum, as is silver, which is in solar panels (as you mentioned). Any metal is a good conductor of electricity - silver is very good. Gold is not worthwhile.

it will adapt, or another will take its place. Everything is becoming centralized. I know the weather in moscow and atlanta right now. Why does russia let me know the weather in moscow? Money. The faster you can move money, the more competitive you are. People love money, making it universal is a forgone conclusion

I think the point is that bitcoin could eventually serve as the new US dollar as you are describing it. The reality is the US produces little compared to what it buys, this is because of the stability and superiority of our dollar. However, the internet (and poor leadership) has slowly eroded the US dominance, and…

Wrong. Other economies have collapsed during bitcoins time and bitcoin has served as a stabilizer for them. So, as long as global production continued (remember that the US produces very little compared to how much it earns), bitcoin would be helped by the collapse of the US dollar. Unfortunately, the US dollar has…

Gold has no value. Silver does. Don’t know what value you think gold has. It was just the replacement for sea shells that ended up winning because we didn’t have that many shiny things yet.

So you aren’t familiar with the meaning of the word “intent?”

Just because he isn’t competent doesn’t mean we shouldn’t give him credit for intent.

No, you don’t get it. Religion > Football was my point. I don’t know if that is what the chain is, but I do know some people are like that. So, if that is the case, it does not “pay” to be the “bigger man.” If that is the case, his actions are totally understandable.

Are you suggesting someone let the school hamster escape and this is all an elaborate cover-up gone out of control?!!?

The expense is irrelevant given the pretense here... So either you’re not religious and don’t get it, or you are having a hard time understanding the significance of someone who has different artifacts, traditions, and methods of homage that you. And you don’t get to dismiss someone’s religious because they got in a…

I’ll help you out.

Maybe the chain (which he had taped on) means something significant to him. Try to think of something that is important to you, and then imagine that someone grabbed it. Maybe you can’t, because, like me, a chain would never mean anything to you, so consider something else totally disrespectful but ultimately…

Absolutely. Just a sore loser
