Impossibly Perfect Sphere: Nov 6, 2002; They wasted Luanne on Lucky!

She could of have been so much more but the writers just didn't care!

This whole situation serves as a hilarious meta commentary on the inequalities in America that Kaep is protesting.

My go to response to this stupid loving argument is that literally every race has the same rate of crime within their own race.

Major surprise! Crimes are usually committed within the perpetrators community, who would have thought?

Ahhh yes, the cherry-picking specific cities with a crime problem and ignoring that across the entire US, crime has steadily decreased for the last few decades. Love that argument as well.

I wonder how many people will stand up in their living rooms during the national anthem

I was watching the Ravens/Niners Super Bowl in a small lounge room in my military dorm. Just about everyone stood for the anthem and one of them gave me a lovely look for not standing. The number may be higher than what you think.

All this is going to do is give working class whites and working class blacks yet another reason to hate each other. As a rich dude, this is great news because that's been our best method of social control for the last forever years.

In other news, everyone's favorite douche has set up a charity.

Well, he released a public statement about how he respects the first ammendment but loving loves the flag and the National Anthem is deeply emotional to him and all that. rear end in a top hat lives in Bellevue, a Seattle suburb for people who think the welfare crisis started with busses. I like that he's a great quarterback on my team, but I recognize that he's a huge tool.

You just have to look at how Cam Newton is treated by the media and public to see why Wilson acts the way he does. I'd rather Wilson be my quarterback than Kaepernick, but that's only because he's much better at football, if they traded abilities without trading personalities I'd be super jealous of the niners.

Kaepernick has always been much cooler, and it worked so much better when he was good but now... :sigh:

Cooler than Russell Wilson doesn't take much work. There's a reason my only football jersey is Marshawn Lynch's and now that he's retired I'm thinking about getting a Sherman one and not one for the our quarterback.

Also the west side. Also it's been creeping into places like Logan Square and Uptown. It really is an epidemic (not that you should really be in fear on the north side, unless you're a married teenager from Arizona who's never been to a real city).

Can anyone actually give me a reason as to why the national anthem even needs to be played before the start of a game anyway?

I've never understood it outside of some sort of hosed up jingoism which is pretty much being proven by the responses to this...

It started in the early 20th century when baseball teams realized that playing the anthem during the 7th inning stretch increased ticket sales. It was purely economic.
