Garrison, sorta; his argument is that (((Soros)))-funded drat dirty libs hated football because of its macho manliness, but have contaminated the League with their hippie pussiness so now it's bad.

The NFL needs its fans a lot more than the fans need the NFL.

Commissioner Roger Goodell is just starting to figure this out as the decline in attendance and TV viewers continue to wane.

“Dilbert” cartoonist Scott Adams called it right. President Trump can’t lose this debate because “gravity is on his side.”

After Trump denounced the kneelers, more kneelers came out to virtue signal merely to ‘resist’ the president, thus enraging their fans even more. Too many players went full-SJW mode, apparently not caring that most of their fans do not support socialism, the Antifa or Black Lives Matter. They simply want to watch a football game and be entertained while suspending disbelief long enough to pretend that their support of their team somehow ties them in tribally with that team.

The kneelers shattered that illusion. Many fans began to realize they had nothing in common whatsoever with most of the spoiled millionaire players who continue to publicly display contempt for their country, their flag and their fans. (Now ex-fans) Why support players who hate you?

Roger Goodell showed abject weakness from the very beginning by not decisively punishing Kaepernick for kneeling during the anthem and now the subversive virus has spread. It remains to be seen if he will be able to quell the protests. Yes, we are guaranteed free speech in our Constitution, but that doesn’t mean we are guaranteed not to suffer the consequences of our free speech.

If an employee routinely insulted customers, his boss can fire him because he knows it hurts the business. How much more the NFL will suffer remains to be seen, but many fans will not return. After making his “every one should stand for the National Anthem “ statement, Roger Goodell said Wednesday that “there has been no policy change” regarding players standing for the national anthem before games. Yet another fumble by the NFL.

Trump’s swift kick to the NFL’s bottom line got their attention. Now will they stand to attention? Stay tooned.

I don't know, boy scouts taught me how to start fires, make homemade explosives, shoot guns and to distrust everyone else. So pretty much everything one needs in life.

What does girl scouts do?

Shoot guns (I don't like guns, but I'm weirdly good at shooting), plant trees, do volunteer work with animal shelters and soup kitchens, go camping, sailing, and make various crafts.

You also go on field trips to places like museums and sewage treatment plants (this one was more fun and fascinating than it sounds). Oh, and one time we when bird watching in the wetlands.

So yeah, lots of great stuff. However, like people have said how good it is all depends on the troop leader and I just happened to have an amazing troop leader.

I'm almost surprised that Ben!Trump didn't run the score up to 88...

Edit: actually, why 72 points? Wiki points to it being the number of houri each Muslim martyr will receive as companion in paradise, but somehow I doubt that's the intention.

What, drawn, and talk of peace! I hate the word, As I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee

The 72 is weirding me out. It's not divisible by 7, so it's not a default "football score" number, and I can't remember any famous blowout games with a score of 72-0. 10 touchdowns and a safety? 9 touchdowns where trump went for the extra point? Does 89 have special significance? 98? Or is it 7 touchdowns, extra point, and Trump gets a safety each time, with the last safety just being scored? But that can't be it, trump has the ball. Or maybe he's in the midst of his drive after the last safety and is pausing his run to mock Goodell. But why does Goodell look like that?

The stadium isn't empty, I don't think, but it would fit Garrison's argument better if it was (that everyone decided they don't like football anymore now that they know football players are humans rather than action figures or animals)

I'm going to take a reasonable guess that Ben does not watch football and has had no interest in it until suddenly he can say he's taking a big stand by it.

on the one hand, two-point conversions are extremely risky and there's no way in hell any coach who knows what he's doing would attempt one unless the current situation w/r/t score and game clock would render a conventional extra point useless, which is not the case if you've been beating the absolute poo poo out of your opponent all game

on the other hand, two is a more bigly number than one

so yeah checks out
