“...the barrier of entry was extremely high.”

Ben, we need to hang out.  Look me up. 

Jake,

I guess we should also ask why Amherst, Syracuse and The Patriots didn’t find it before hiring him as a coach. Or, most importantly, why Westinghouse didn’t find it before he worked on military submarines and aircraft carriers - especially since I am positive that he would have had to have a federal security clearance…

Countdown to some NRA toll complaining about him being arrested for a large-capacity magazine in 3... 2... 1...

Should have written,”Football Revenue Deemed More Important Than The Systematic Anal Raping of Children For Decades”

For me, it’s this sort of nonsense that is driving me away from the game. It’s not kneeling, CTE, replay, catch rules or over saturation. It’s the ugly truth that business dollars matter more than the game/product. I’m sure that has always been the case, but it had become too wearisome for me to invest hours of my…

We have one of the original celebrity trolls that has, for 30+ years, consistently attempted to “shock” her way to headlines and attention being exploited by a television network in a cynical naked cash grab. The political angle is only a further way to manipulate clicks and revenue.

Yes. It is important to do all 12 steps in order to avoid living under a bridge.

I guess my main question is, why would any venue choose to employ a 66 year old paraplegic as stadium security at a Superbowl?

It is entirely possible that he was already in some sort of EAP at Disney for substance abuse when this occurred. If so, most corporations have a zero tolerance policy if you’re already in a program. That would explain why he had to resign.

Can’t believe that there wasn’t interest from a team closer to being a contender. Phillies aren’t going anywhere in the next 3 years.

You sir, have uncommon integrity. Thank you for that.

They are waiting until January of 2019. At that point, Mike Pence can assume office and then run for reelection two more times.

And cue the snarky comments by people that mistakenly believe that a sport where the participants are one hundred percent financed by individual corporate sponsors should be a meritocracy.....

I do not understand the outrage when the NFL does not protect players from concussions during games. The NFL is not interested in protecting the players. The accepted evidence indicates the vast majority of brain injury for football players is caused by the sub-concussive blows to the head that occur primarily in…

All valid points, but the racist patriarchy is counting on the infighting. Pitting white men against men of color has helped to weaken unions and keep wages lower than than they should be. United we stand divided we fall - unless your feelings are hurt and you cannot see past your own ingrained racism or paranoia.

“Harding was forced to resort to all kinds of humiliating stunts, including a celebrity boxing match against Paula Jones, in order to earn a paycheck.”

I’m confused. The players know the risks and do not care. The league and it’s advertisers know the risks and do not care. The overwhelming majority of fans do not care about the long term health/future of players. All medical experts agree that the most damage is being caused by the repeated, sub-concussive hits that…

This sort of spending is why I rarely watch football anymore. It has nothing to do with players kneeling during the anthem. It has everything to do with the insane amount of money being spent foolishly.
