Because…the minority men who couldn’t control themselves and shot up the Kansas City parade wouldn’t have done it if only there had been yet another useless law for them to disregard.

Considering the “news” so often surrounding so many professional athletes, the LAST people in the world I would turn to for moral guidance are “sports stars” – if I need a criminal thug as a role model, there are ‘hoods near enough to me. And, yes, there ARE exceptions – every year the NFL hands out the “Walter Payton” award, and many of those men are deserving of our respect. But the ones who abuse drugs, or their significant others, or shoot themselves in the @$$ at their favorite club, or get in a bar fight at their favorite club? Yeah, I think I can get by fine without their example, if it’s all the same to you.

The leagues themselves are become caricatures of woke. I haven’t watched an NFL game in years, and I don’t miss them.

They tried pulling that crap on the Florida State University Seminoles.

Guess what happened? The chief of the tribe put out a statement they were honored to be the team mascot. (It helped that the ‘Noles were a football powerhouse at the time…)

The NFL is un-American trash and has been for years. There’s no reason to pay any attention to it at all.

In reply to Dude. You can still "get there" fast in a legal way, but it requires hard work.

In reply to Hush.

I made my son get a job at the age of 16 so he wouldn’t be sitting around on the computer all day (Covid lockdown era). I gave him some time to do it on his own. When that was moving too slowly, I chose a place, helped him fill out the application, and he got hired immediately. Fast forward a few years, and he’s ready to pay cash for a $20k vehicle (his third) while he’s still in college. There’s the “fast/easy” way, and there’s the legal way.

Children need involved parents. Boys especially need fathers to help keep them in line. Then they need good women to help “tame” them.

In reply to Shire-man. I got some official Redskins merch before the change. I also kept a Land O'Lakes butter tub before they scrubbed the Indian/Native from existence. I'm going to show my future grandchildren that we used to think Indians/Natives were cool.

Never before have I seen so many “help wanted” or “we are hiring” signs/billboards and yet so many show no interest in getting a job.
The jobs are available and there is no excuse for anyone not having a job. Now the job may not be a career, but any job will put some money in the pocket until a better opportunity arises. Doing nothing, as is the manner of many, is not the solution.

No, they should fix the inner city problems. Figure a way to get these kids working and loving it rather than going to easy route of selling drugs, stealing and beefing over turf…. Show them how weak criminals actually are!
