Shocker: NFL Ratings Tank (Politics and Greed are ruining America's Game)

[thecentaur]

Ugh....
We are all equal..

Proof? Source? This is the type of thinking that is causing so many problems, and I may be wrong but I don't think you are even a liberal.

The cold hard truth is some people were just born to be ditch diggers. Some of them just happened to be born in a great country that allowed them to get paid millions for super ditch digging talents (Football). They need to stick to their ditch digging and leave the philosophizing to others.

100% correct

 

[Haystacks]

Don't discount the ingrates not kneeling for the anthem. My NFL viewership has dropped by more than 50% and my interest is very take it or leave it now. I know I am not the only decent person who feels this way. Fuck the Dolphins. I hope they go 0-16.

as a Patriots fan, the Dolphins are enemy number 1 and always will be .....I hope they 0-16 too

Oh.....so now we can admit that not everybody is born with the same chance and not everyone has the same advantages.

That hasnt been a popular conservative/republican opinion here. In fact, a few conservatives have told me that Hector Gonzalez has the same chance as Bill Gates and George Bushs kids.

Wrong. Everyone has the opportunity to be the best they can be in this country. What libs incessantly point to as obstacles (poverty, family issues) have time and time again proven to be motivation for great Americans throughout our history. The disagreement is libs think it's wise to disrupt everyone else's chances in order to increase the chances for a segment they wish to see succeed.

What if the NBA let little Conor O'Shea wear ankle rockets to increase his speed and jumping ability so he could succeed? Does that really benefit the game of basketball or improve his game? Better yet, what if the NBA made everyone wear 5 pound ankle weights but Conor? That more accurately describes the situation when you dumb down curriculum or force unqualified people into high positions.

What's crazy about all this is there are a few powerful people like George Soros who do not like America and what it stands (or used to stand) for so they do all they can to disrupt and create chaos, and they have created zombies like you to mindlessly aid them in their goals with your liberal trolling.

Everyone is created equal...politically. Athletically, intellectually, socially? Not even close.

It is comical to watch conservatives always use guys like George Soros or Saul Alinsky.....like they are the boogeyman or something. Alinsky is dead and liberal politicians use Soros and don't even care a little bit about his ideas for the country.

We know that not everybody has the same chance.....not even close....do some rise above and do great things? Sure, it happens. But being born on 3rd base( like the repub candidate for president) makes things much easier.

That makes no sense and has nothing to do at all with what's being said.

Double the medication.

 

[ERockMoney]

its not that these games are flooded with non stop commercials , its also the brainwashing that the media is pushing on us with this PC nonsense.. I boycott products when a black male and white female are selling it , which seems to be every other advertisement ....

That must take incredible discipline. Do you find it becomes a hassel not being able to drive, own a cell phone, get a credit card, having to make your own clothing, not being able to consume alcohol, not having internet access......hey, wait a minute

And yet the equality illusion is the main logically impossible dream driving modern leftist ideology (see my sig).

Whatever it takes...you can also throw in , not supporting Hollywood who are helping create this shit...I'm done paying for movies...

Well let's just stop mentioning Hitler all the time too if you don't believe there are boogeymen

That's one way to look at it. On the other hand, I think the guy born on third never wants or needs to learn how to hit, and genetics being equal the guy starting from the batters box is going to be the better ball player.

Henry Ford, Walt Disney, Cornelius Vanderbilt, etc. all came from nothing and that undoubtedly drove them. Then to say those who are born in better circumstances have a better chance at succeeding while dismissing the fact that they are in that position because their parents were genetically responsible and intelligent also is a chicken or the egg argument at best.

Bottom line I think you are ignoring that the poor Henry Ford is driven to greater things than the rich Henry Ford, but everyone isn't Henry Ford and you can't force them to be.

Have I ever called anyone Hitler? You've done this a few times.....you need to start being more accurate. You said I call people racist( which besides Vlad, who everyone agrees is a racist) I haven't don't that. And now Hitler? Cmon....do better.

Stop it. You said conservatives comically use Soros and Alinsky. Now I can't say liberals and everyone in general also constantly point to Hitler? I wasn't saying you personally are obsessed with Hitler, I was saying your dismissal that there are actually boogeymen out there who wish to do harm (even though they believe they are doing good) is a mistake.

Ive seen plenty of conservatives meme's of Obama portrayed as Hitler. The Kock brothers would have been a better example for you.....this is a one time courtesy.....I won't always improve your argument for you.

Ok maybe I got you mixed up with another poster. Have you not generally referred to large groups of posters on here as bigots and racists?

Read my post again Mr. Smuggy. I said liberals and everyone in general. I didn't say just liberals. The point being, there are actual boogeymen, while you tried to say it was comical to think of Soros and Alinsky as such.
