The more you post, the more I understand why the GYERO regulars have such little respect for you.
- I'm shocked Trump has been such a disaster. Who saw this coming?
- I would have been more likely to vote for The Rock before "Ballers" which makes "Entourage" look like Shakespeare.
- As it always is in September, recruiting is getting interesting. Cal either hates the bigs in this class or is pretty confident in a upperclassmen SKJ/Wynyard combo along with a couple freshmen frontcourt returnees.

Let's be honest. The real reason so many took a knee this weekend was because Trump called them SOB's and said they should be fired.
NFL player and owners are not the the type of people who just roll over to that.

Then point out where I am wrong instead of just being an ass.
The fact that everyone is able to be engaged, distracted, and passionate about something so fundamentally unimportant that effects the daily lives of literally not a single person in this entire country but we can't get people to actually care, discuss, or become knowledgeable about things like our current healthcare disaster, corruption with pharmaceutical companies, or the growing disaster with unregulated campaign financing on both sides of the aisle is the lock of the century.
Just pander to the lowest common denominator stupid f*cks of the country and watch everyone get distracted about a GD football player take a knee, while we actually get completely taken advantage of by both parties behind our back. God I hate politics and the current media so bad.

Insightful, given the state of the country. Economy rolling, consumer confidence highest in years, illegal immigration lowest in 17 years, job market excellent, defense strong, etc, etc, etc.
You're effing brilliant, little man.
-trump, obama or bush2 could cure cancer and 1/2ish of the country would bitch about it.
-political arguments have always been presented in a dumbed down/easy to digest way for lcd folks feed upon. That said over the last 16 years it has devolved into a shitshow. Us v. Them. My guy is a paragon of virtue and yours is a russian puppet/secret muslim is the mentality. Keeps regular folk at each others throats...whilst they all bend us over without lube.
-the last guy tacked too far left too quickly. The current guy is a *direct* result of that leftward push/identity politics. You cant spend years shaming/blaming people for things they have little to no control over and expect them to come back for more.
- go cats...or whatever.

Is it?
Or is the point to spite our loudmouth president who would rather strut like a banty rooster than engage in any civil discourse? Or is it to martyr a subpar QB who read one book at Berekely that his social warrior girlfriend gave him and decided he was now Malcolm X? Or is it for social injustice or first amendment rights or...
Nobody knows, that's why this all sucks, the protest, the response and on and on. All it does is separate people and make each side dig in their heals a little more.
It's effective at getting attention but the wrong type of attention, imo.
Hey what does everyone think about the current FCC attitude towards net neutrality that could potentially shape the way we use internet, get information, start new businesses, and pioneer industry going forward? Oh nobody knows what that even means? Did you hear Laveon Bell didn't come out for the national anthem holy crap !!!
All of this social unrest is destroying my fantasy team. And if people lose their fantasy football and gambol, shit is going to hit the fan.
I also like minor league soccer.
I watched a little bit of the Monday Night Football game last night and realized just how little I care about the NFL these days. The whole "protest" deal has nothing to do with it. The product is bad; the owners are all money-hungry scumbags who would rather uproot a team and dump them in a half-empty soccer stadium where no one cares than pass up some profit; and - frankly - I'm losing the ability to enjoy watching people give themselves permanent brain damage for fun.

I still enjoy the brain damage part, but the NFL is awful and has been for years.
If I want to be woke on race relations in the United States, I'm certainly putting a lot of weight on the opionions of an impossibly conservative, high school educated, middle aged white guy who considers Destin, Florida exotic travel.
Please, tell us more.

-Unless you're older than me, it's not possible to have been out in front moreso than I on how bad the NFL sucks.

Yep.
I *literally* (yes, I'm properly using that word) haven't watched a minute of the NFL this season, and I'm so much happier for it. It has nothing to do with anything related to protests, politics, or anything of the sort. It's a shitty product, and the team I grew up following is an embarrassment so I've washed my hands of it.
College football is awesome and the NFL is for rednecks.
Putting Obama and Bush in the same sentence with Trump is ridiculous. Agree or disagree with them, those guys were doing what they thought was best for the country. This dipshit is a carnival barker who only cares about himself, and I mean only.
You think he gives two shits about the anthem or the protest? No- he's tossing more redmeat to his base and the fringe.
He's a POS and he's never even tried to hide it.
I just hope he doesn't really get us in trouble.
While I love College Football more than anything I still see no issue of setting up shop on the couch with a cooler full of Miller's, wings and 6 hours of no commercial NFL Red Zone. No reason at all to watch a full NFL game unless it is playoff related.
They have adapted to the fan in SOME favorable ways.
A lot worse ways to handle a Sunday IMO

Correct. I'm not sure it's a coincidence that as the NFL has gained popularity, Nascar popularity has dwindled.
Nascar has dropped in popularity because it's become less of a redneck sport imo.

The NFL sucks in large part because a) the rule changes and reviews kill the flow of the game (this is creeping into college btw) and b) the lack of good QBs since college has moved to spread offenses which would get people killed in the NFL.
Arizona, Auburn, USC and Oklahoma State are involved.
