Too little too late

Ditz Bryant of the Dallas cowboys stated that they will stand for the Anthem for the rest of the season. Sorry, but you blew it. You cannot unring this bell, the announcement was made loud and clear even before last Sunday's mockery Of America.
This country has problems, it will always have problems. When we solve one, it seems we usually create two more. We are sadly fallible humans, not GOD. That said, here is the real problem, Name one country that has a better track record over the last fifty years. In the years since republicans, joined by a few democrats, forged the civil rights reform that ended Jim Crow and broke the liberal strangle hold on the south, we have made massive strides in equality, and the pendulum swung well past center as we have attempted to catch the black community up and bring them into the public sphere. It is not the fault of white America that blacks refuse to take advantage of the opportunities offered.
The NFL today contains a higher percentage of blacks than the general population. Those of you who made that cut have a tremendous opportunity to impact your communities for good. Instead, you are supporting an organization that has, through lies and innuendo, heaped problems on them instead. Their poster children were thugs who in any other group would be held to shame. The lawlessness which they sow have resulted in massive increases in murders of blacks by blacks. How, with that result, can you then claim that black lives matter? If they matter, address the black on black crime. More blacks die in one week in Chicago than are killed in a year by police, and they are innocent lives.
And about that flag, Thousands of blacks, serving in the military died and were returned home under that flag. Thousands of whites also died to secure the rights you now enjoy, for you. By disrespecting the flag you disrespect every Union soldier who fought in every battle from Ft Sumner to Appomattox Court House. Every soldier deserves your respect, or would you rather live under nazism?
Again, name one country that has done better. Then move there.

Too late A-holes

The Denver Donkeys issued a statement regarding their decision to take a knee during the National Anthem. Their decision to stand in solidarity with thugs who riot, murder cops, and generally have made a mockery of all the hard won accomplishments of the past fifty years has me fuming.
I know they are not the sharpest knives in the drawer, but it is not hard to research history and know that it was republicans who forced nearly all the changes that have benefited blacks here in the United States. From the initial freeing of the slaves to desegregation, democrats opposed every thing and most republicans supported it.
Growing up, there were three teams I loved. The Vikings, I am after all from Minnesota, Denver, Three siblings moved there, and the Steelers for reasons I cannot explain, I just loved them. I don't buy much gear, so they are not losing a lot of money from me. The corporate sponsors? No more Bud, No more Lays, No more Pepsi, and no more Fords.
Their Twitter Shitter, my comments in italics.
Last week members of the Donks joined their brothers.... brothers??? around the NFL in a powerful display of disunity. OK, maybe unity with thugs who assault police, riot, deal drugs, and have created an organization based on lies about criminals who were brought to justice by extreme force because no other option was left but certainly not with the American public. It was an emotional time for everyone including the fans who used to support us each and every week. As controversial as it appeared, we needed to show our collective strength and resolve.
Our voices needed to be heard loud and clear. What about We the People??? you know, the ones who said enough of the BULLSHIT and elected an anti-establishment businessman instead of an Establishment crook?
Make no mistake, our actions were in no way a protest of the Military, the flag, or those who keep us safe. Kinda hard to tell when your actions spit in the face of the American people and desecrate the most basic symbols of this nation. We have nothing but the deepest love and respect for those who protect our way of life and the freedoms we enjoy as Americans. Yeah, right, the organization that Colon, and now you are supporting was started because the Gentle Giant Mike Brown was physically assaulting a police officer, you know, one of those who protect our way of life.
While there's no greater country, it's not perfect. How true, we still have democrats controlling several states who should be in prisons along with Barry, HiLlARy, Susan, Huma... the list is longer, but no point is there?  Inequalities still exist, Like low life uneducated entertainers lecturing us about who, we chose as our President. and we have work to do in all form of social justice. Sorry, social justice is not compatible with our Constitution. We do not have the right to tell people how to think, or in your case to think period.
We can all do better. What you cannot do is anything worse. Then again, knowing what caliber of people are in the NFL, you will likely prove me wrong in short order.
It starts with us. No it does not. You are entertainers not intellectuals, and frankly, the intellectuals failings are why President Trump was chosen instead of any of the shit pile of stupidity put forth by either party. We need to do our part and use our platform as NFL players to continue driving that positive change. That would mean doing a 180 from your current trend, and you aint gonna even come close.
Our locker room is one diverse place, and that's what makes it so special. Nearly every business in America is as or more diverse than your locker room. It's where thoughtful, intelligent leaders from all different races religions and backgrounds come together. BWAHAHAHAHA thoughtful??? Intelligent???
We may have different values and beliefs, but there is one thing we all agree on:
We're a team and we stand together- no matter how diverse some comments and issues can be, nothing should ever get in the way of that. In the military we have a saying, GYHOYA Get Your Head OUT Your Ass
Starting Sunday, we'll be standing together. And I will not be watching because you should be standing in the unemployment line.
I'm not the only one who feels this way.

Hugh Heffner dead

His soul has been for many years. Yesterday, his body joined it. He made it to 91, quite good by any standard.
Hugh launched Playboy in 1953 with a nude picture of Marilyn Monroe in a magazine with no date. He wasn't sure there would be a second issue. It managed to sell 50,000 copies and launched the sexual devolution. Devolution may not be the exact correct term, but human sexuality began to descend after that. Now we look up to the animals for standards of conduct. Most often we use the wrong examples.
I would have a very hard time believing that he is in heaven now. If the words "well done my good and faithful servant" were spoken to him, it was most likely by Satan himself. There is no "rest in peace" when you die with out Jesus. Sorry, Heaven has only one gate and one path. all others lead to destruction.

Stupid

Whoopi Goldberg yesterday on the view commented that she does not think President Trump realizes Puerto Rico is part of the United States.
That is the mind set of liberals. They blamed Bush for Katrina instead of the democrats who ran the city into the ground prior to the Hurricane, now they are blaming President Trump for all the problems Democrat controlled Houston, Democrat controlled Miami, and Democrat strong hold Puerto Rico have. Members of the view have no understanding of Laws preventing cabotage either. Puerto Rico can import any thing it wants from any place it wants, but if the goods come from the United States, or another U.S. Territory, they need to travel on U.S. Ships. Nothing more. Chinese goods can come in on a Taiwanese ship for all it matters.
IN the course of her diatribe, Goldberg repeated, “I don’t think he realizes that Puerto Rico is part of the United States. I don’t think he realizes that. He didn’t know Hawaii was part of the United States either. But that’s just me. That is what I’m saying.”
Well, She is right about one thing, She doesn't think.

He caved

Alejandro Villanueva caved in. After taking a stand and making real Americans proud, he back tracked and is once again part of the herd.
Yesterday I called him a good man. I was wrong. I won't take down the post, maybe some day he will see it and understand that what he did was right and turning to jello was wrong.
I feel for the people who showed solidarity with him and purchased a Jersey while many others were burning their Steelers garbage. Well, Asshole, you fooled em once. I hope those people get refunds, they deserve that.

Feel the heat

I'm not the only one pissed at the Anti-national Football League. Hundreds of former Stealers fans are posting video and pictures of them torching their NFL gear.
Unindicted rapist and Pittsburgh Quarterback Ben Rottenberger is Monday mourning Quarterbacking his stupidity. Too late Big Has Been, you jumped off the cliff. What you did is the professional dependent version of hold my beer and watch this. Yup, the folks at the bottom, the ones who really pay your wages were not impressed. Some where the corporatist fools who silently encourages this bullshit behavior are watching their bottom line erode like a New Orleans levee during Katrina.
Maybe you should have stayed in school and gotten a degree in something, The NFL is turning into a bust.
IN years part many games have featured highlights of fans in the Military watching the game in Afghanistan or Iraq. I'd like to see a vid of them burning their gear in "appreciation". I'm guessing this seasons Stupid Bowl losers won't be going to the White House.

One good man

To day the Shitsburg Stealers decided to sit out the National Anthem in the locker room. All of them except Alejandro Villanueva who is a Veteran with three tours in Afghanistan. I used to be a Steelers fan. Used to spend Sunday watching the games. I've found better things to do with my time, at least until Roger Goodell gets his head out of his ass and suspends the crybabies, or the league goes belly up. Yes, I make fun of the players, I make fun of every demographic including my own culture though.
So what happens if the league folds? If people quit buying the tickets, and boycott the official sponsors? Talk about a paradigm shift! Right now we have almost every University handing out "scholarships" to guys who for the most part are there for entertainment only. Many, not all, "graduate" with a meaningless degree. The few who make it to the NFL last a few years, then they too are relegate to the dust bin of history, many too beat up to hold good jobs for long. The many who do not go home to a life of dreams that never came true. They spent four or often five years at a college and walked away with basically nothing.
As for Alejandro Villanueva, he is likely to pay a price for his patriotism. He alone did what is right. That is not popular with the Socialist Just (be an) Ass crowd. They may target him for that.
It is my understanding that the SeaHags and Tight ones are also planning to be horses asses in front of America.
As far as the sponsors go, Budweiser is a big name. I'm not much of a drinker, but my wife likes a beer after a long day on her feet. We switched to Modelo. Lincoln needs to get the message. Unfortunately, most regular folks don't drive Navigators. Maybe their Ford line could use a little more dust? Pepsi and Frito Lay are the others that come to mind. I know there are others, not gonna tune in to find out who though.
