“Trades” in quotes because all deals go through MLS headquarters, all players sign with MLS, not teams. Fake league as always, run as a hedge against competitive soccer by NFL owners.

This reminded me of the book High Rise by J. G. Ballard. The tenants of a high-rise apartment block basically go feral and form packs, defending groups of floors against other packs.

The hubris of the NFL is such now that they’ll trip over their dicks eventually. Maybe an obstruction of justice conviction would do it. The NFL is pretty much a crime syndicate at this point. And even at that not even one with particularly high morals.

Western Civ IS dead.

The NFL is the worst of the US in microcosm.

Democrats just now learning about the Electoral College are some of my favorites. Also, Obama’s health care was a purely neoliberal project. That’s why I’m expected to fucking “shop” for health care at a Web site. Losers.
