I understand that this was satire, but wouldn’t the football players from the leather helmet sans face mask era in the 1920's to the 1950's have typically lived longer and healthier lives, from a brain/neurological health standpoint than players from the hard shell helmet era (late 1950's) to today?

Sure, but a clever reporter, or really anyone who has a chance to speak with him for ten minutes can change the thought process from building mental institutions, to using American military force to take away guns from “mentally ill” (many, many of whom are his ardent MAGA supporters) IF Trump thinks that the…

on 5., it looks like Kaepernick is mostly involved with the Know Your Rights organization, so that’s his vehicle for being active with social justice / charity / etc.

Why do you think India and Pakistan are likely to go to war in the next few months? They saber-rattle each other and have little border skirmishes in Kashmir constantly, without any actual consequence.

Not sure about that as a segment of Trump’s strongest supporters are 45-65 year old suburbanites who make between $75,000 to $200,000 a year.

It surprised me, but she did use that fame to go into another career, did she not? (a less dangerous occupation and hopefully one that is paying her a living wage)

You hit the nail on head there. The Ricketts family’s business moves are head-scratchers and seem to be trying to extract as much cash out of the Cubs franchise in the next few years to enrich themselves. It’s as if they hired Theo Epstein, signed off of that teardown and rebuild, and then said, “Whelp. We got the…

Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love are All-Star talents. Maybe not top 5 NBA superstars, but legitimate second and third best players on a championship team. My argument was that winning a championship in Cleveland distinguished LeBron as an all time legend in NBA history, but NOT for corporate sponsorships and business…

True, the Democratic Party needs to have something to offer everyone, and I think affordable comprehensive health care is one such benefit.  

Should Trump lose the election or attempt to cancel the election. I think there would be enough people in the Pentagon who would take action, with the majority support of Congress and multinational corporate leaders because an event like that would significantly expose the USA and its assets to a massive attack,…

Probably not a very good shot, though. The Cubs, like the Indians, are a very good franchise in an era of three-hyper rich elite baseball franchises who have taken their immense financial advantage and poured millions into data research and analytics, as well as a Latin American youth development academy system to…

If he did, Varitek at least has the good sense not to publicize his politics.

Well the 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers and the 2016 Chicago Cubs both only won one championship and never became dynasties.

Northeast Ohio is a somewhat moderate-liberal, labor union dominated area just starting to clean up its environment and economy.

Eh, not really. As LeBron will tell anyone, he’s from Akron, and he does not consider Cleveland his hometown.

There were many likable Rex Sox icons like Pedro Martinez, David Ortiz, and Jason Varitek on that 2004 World Series team.  Just accept Shilling as a bad person who contributed and celebrate the other players.  

There were probably some military people from rural Tennessee who were fine with Rishard Matthews’ and other players anthem protest. The players are protesting unjust police brutality toward minority Americans, not US military personnel.

Thanks for the well-written reply. Taking it in a different direction: Do you think Colin Kaepernick should play in the CFL to stay active in a professional football environment and attempt to make his way back to the NFL?

Yes, I’m surprised at the cognitive dissonance that Latinx people who are conservatives and Republicans, as this man, have regarding Trump. Trump / the MAGA movement is not distinguishing between legal/illegal immigration at this point. The Republican Party is no longer led by the Bush family and other people who…
