If you read some of the other reports of this, there is loads of evidence. For instance, one article literally reads,.

“Is there anything Trump could do to lose your support?” I asked one woman on inauguration day. “No,” she replied.
More recently he tried— but failed— to buy the Bills. He almost certainly failed because he’s not nearly as wealthy as he claims, because he (of course) immediately went to Twitter after losing his bid to complain that the Bills were over-priced and that the NFL is so boring that he was glad he didn’t buy the team…
What’s so troubling here is how easy it would be to spin this in a way that acknowledged the reality. The inauguration was on a Friday. You just say something like: Trump’s supporters are hard-working Americans. They often have to work two or three jobs to put food on the table for their families. When it comes to a…
Jesus. Except I didn’t say that, did I? I was arguing whether one full team of fifty or so people would all collectively have and utilize that motivation in some measurable way more than another full team of fifty or so people.
I get your point. To fix your error, I played in competitive sports. Granted, it was running track, but I ran for a D-1 program, so I was at least good at it. (I played football for a bit in high school until I realized that getting tackled sucks, and that running XC in the fall would improve my track times and I was…
Right? I have this argument often with right wingers. Yes, I listen to NPR and their show tends to highlight the things that are generally left-leaning issues: the environment, or work safety, or radial bias, or economic inequality, or climate change, and so on. But holy hell at least they get the facts right. You…
YES. In my state this is totally case. Everyone votes to kill unions and then marvels that their jobs are now low-paying and offer no benefits and no healthcare. But at least these people don’t pay union dues? Or something.
Honest question. How much does being “driven” actually help anyone in a team sport? This is a common mantra on sports radio in in blogs: a team with some sort of motivation somehow has an edge.
RIGHT? He wears shitty ill-fitting suits and still can’t get his tie length right. If he were an egg-headed academic or a wonky politician, it would be goofy but endearing. But he literally sells a line of men’s fashions and brags about how classy he is and yet he looks ridiculous. Fuck that guy.
This is my brother. He’s totally in for Trump. But he was out of work for awhile during the economic turmoil of not too long ago and certainly benefited from unemployment benefits and so on. And yet, he seems to ignore the fact that it is and has been the Democratic party that fights for people in his plight.
I will never understand this. A few days ago I saw a news feature where they were talking to people upon which the ACA has had an impact. There were certainly people who had some unfortunate tales (that we have heard for awhile) where they started their own business (something many Americans cheer for) but because the…
If the federal mandate were removed, I’m sure most states would cheerfully continue to provide that crucial (and it IS crucial) funding.
The questions quoted in the article are just stunning. They are written as though they came from some twenty-something who just came out of a John Birch Society meeting. They literally asked “why aren’t we winning?” for fuck’s sake, and then asked if we were “losing to the Chinese” in Africa. Like, this is a very…
The league will be filling the stands with CGI fans before the season is half over.
The Rams haven’t been here in so long everyone is either a Raiders, 49ers, or Chargers fan.
But wouldn’t it be the case— and I admit I don’t know the details— that a place like Chicago would actually have been much better for such a thing because they wouldn’t have to build much. They already have lots of hotels and good mass transit. Soldier Field already exists and would continue to exist after the…
This was totally my life. My parents were married the year DooL started and I guess it was their thing to watch it. As a kid, I recall Dad coming home from work and asking “What happened on Funny Times?” as that was their pet name for the show.
The entire game is rigged.
