OT Boycotting the NFL

So.....you’d rather piss people off by doing nothing than be personally pissed off by people doing something? Interesting world view........

 

...TV viewership has been going down for a long time now and it started well before players started taking a knee for the national anthem. But IMO part of the NFL's woes are self-inflicted and in addition to the NFL's PR problems, for me, being a Raiders fan is not as it once was.

..oh, I still watch the games but over the last 30 years or so, through the many rule changes, I have witnessed the gradual "pussification" of the game...it's just not the same.

 

Yes, vastly preferable. Especial being one of those targeted to piss off. How this will effect any change is very obscure beyond pissing people off.

 

...are you saying that you feel you are being picked on?

 

No. I just think the intent is to piss people off. They succeeded in that and nothing else.

 

I just don't see it that way. If you already know in advance what the likely scenario will be why would you willfully subject yourself to it?

...just saying.

 

Just saying? I see no point, in your post or pissing people of in some objectionable demonstration.

 

Shit like this is why they protest:

 

Why don't you believe in the 1st amendment? You are so full of shit all the time. Maybe you just think black people don't deserve access to that right...

 

...lol...well, I'm not surprised that you can't see "the point of my post"...I can also understand why you refused to answer a simple answer to the simple question I posed.

 

Should we have protested against Hitler or would it have been "vastly preferable" not to "piss off" those in power?

 

I would have a drink with you any time any day MM. Mimosas and bloody marys in the morning? Four Roses Burbon in the evening? Beers? Ciders? You choose.

 

MarAzul: Don't piss off the people who are killing you!

 

Make it simple, what is your question?

 

Oh, I think you all are exercising your right to the 1st. Just not well thought out to achieve any positive result. I really think it is designed to piss people off, and in that you succeed. I even expect you are pleased with the result and will repeat the process at every opportunity with the same result.

 

The vast majority of people objecting have killed no one. That was a fool post.

 

...oh now you're just being obtuse and evasive...I already made it simple and you know perfectly well what the question was. (post # 26)

 

All you do is post foolishness. Do you advocate for prosecution of those who have? No.

 

MarAzul's modus operandi.

 

Study your history. We skipped protest and proceeded to warfare.
