When the ratings don’t improve and profits are still down, will the NFL THEN admit that the whole anthem issue is a paper tiger?

I can only speak to English football where, no, they don’t play God Save the Queen, except I think at the FA Cup final. But for regular matches, nope. I asked on-line once, and it seems that people in Western European countries don’t, but in Indonesia they do. Take that for what it’s worth.

It would be played on holidays and special occasions, but not just that song but other patriotic songs as well. (It wasn’t the National Anthem until 1931). But, you can blame Harry Frazee, owner of the Red Sox who decreed it would be played before every home game, and other clubs followed suit. NFL Commissioner Elmer…

I’m all for player protests. The problem is that the players lost control of the message and rather than being framed as a protest about police brutality it’s now become framed as an issue of patriotism. I will absolutely support any player that protests on behalf of social justice. But I think right now there are…

Get your insults right. I’m not for blowing up the stadium and all of the infidels in it. I just think it’s pointless to salute ‘America’ all the time. You should have called me a commie.

My father served 31 years in the Navy, and now maybe it’s because he was an engineer or maybe it’s because he’s in his 80's and doesn’t have time for all the folderol, but he would agree with you.

They’re all stupid suggestions. The only sensible solution is to stop playing the fucking national anthem.

We have one CEC in the Albany area. It’s located in a predominenantly white suburb of Albany (although, ironically, the exact same area that the racist rednecks attacked the kid and his mom about the car stereo). When my kids were younger, that is CEC age, when I would taken them there, for either a birthday party or…

I’ve never had electric seats until my current car, 2017 Subaru Forester. Pros: Fine tuning positioning and support. Cons: How can I put this? My daughter is learning to drive, so if she’s in my car, she adjusts the seat to fit her. Which means it needs to be put back when she’s done. Because there aren’t set…

Because Upstate NY is really as ass-backward and filled with inbred hicks as parts of the Deep South. I should know. I have to deal with people like them regularly. Because even though this happened in Albany County, Rensselaer County to the East, where I practice, is even more backwoods racist.

I did it. There’s nothing not wrong with it, nor is it gross. Quite frankly, I found the bulbs to be completely inadequate to the job.

Stop going to Starbucks. I mean, is it really that good that you have to pay that much for a cup of coffee? Go to a local convenience store. (In Upstate NY I highly recommend Stewart’s, but in a pinch, if you can find one, a Cumberland Farm’s will do.) Just let it slowly rot away into it’s preppy nothingness.

NY Democratic politicians continue to suck up to the Jewish voters (see Chuck Schumer). Andrew Cuomo, a political hack, continues this trend, although he should never again hold any sort of political office in his life once his current term is done.

Don’t ask them to pee.

And that’s some fine community policing right there. Too bad things like that are so rare.

Essentially marijuana related offenses are now nusiance crimes which the police can use to control minority populations and also allow them to engage in more aggressive police tactics. Besides, everybody knows that a black or hispanic man possessing weed is really a drug dealer and a white man having it is just some…

It’s not half good either

Who?

Because, of course...

Do you know what many states are looking for? Adoptive families. You know what bills like this do? Limit prospective adoptive families. And quite frankly, the Catholic Church shouldn’t care who adopts kids as long as it is in a safe environment. I know the official position of the Catholic Church on such matters but…
