Man, a victory twenty years ago and now the woman is one of the wealthiest people in media. They've lost the culture war because there isn't any major company that is going to cater specifically to white evangelical tastes anymore. Demographics just don't make that profitable for global companies.

And hell, I'm glad of it. Hopefully media companies don't cater too much to the new evangelicals either.

this is actual bullshit because what they're doing is giving legitimacy to spencers fuckedness, "pats = Whites" was literally started by him and of course internet nazis wont shut up about it now because a) the pats won and b) idpol are exactly playing into his baby soft nazi hands.
brady, belichick, and kraft are all self-proclaimed "good friends" of trump and presumably all voted for him, the majority of their offense (including their pass-catchers) are white, and you have a better chance of seeing Bigfoot than to see a white pats fan wear the jersey of a black player that plays for them. also, Boston fans have a storied history of racism

richard spencer may have started the "pats are the white race" thing, and equating them with white supremacy is dumb as hell, but this didn't start out of nothing

I'm very glad this has happened.

As much as I find some of the patronizing to customers by some of these companies kinda eye rolling (The Audi Commercial for example. Well meaning, but yeah they don't actually practice what they preach), I'd MUCH rather have it be that we're in this era in which ellen and her network had to deal with that horseshit.

If they'd ditch their anti-LGBT stance and return to their attitudes about abortion pre-1970? Maybe.

But that's going to take a generation or two to kinda fix.

this and there was some hope for this happening before trump. the younger evangelicals were becoming more liberal(gays don't matter/dont let the earth get hosed to death because god told us to steward of the earth) but now that's probably put off enough generation or 2.

oh yeah, they got blown out. i do honestly think they might try to resurface again deeper into trumps term(if he doesnt gently caress everything to death) because i am sure bannon and pence would throw them a bone. honestly i am sorta waiting for the next school shooting to see what trump blames because i doubt its going to be easy access to guns and mental health.

Everyone in football has concussions cause they're always running into each other. I'm from Buffalo(I.E. I have watched hockey), I know all about how rough hockey is, but consider that on the field every play with football is a bunch of dudes who's entire purpose, their whole deal, is so that they can run into each other.

There's a lot you can attack in football which is weird that anyone brings up rape culture. It's billionaires preying on the last vestiges of civic pride to get taxpayer funded investments. It's farm teams are unpaid students who spend their college careers engaging in a dangerous and incredibly time consuming sport that gets everyone money except them. The NFL keeps stripping fun little things out of the sport and maneuvering to make sure that only the rich and powerful can own teams rather than any sort of collective. The military pays the league to engage in hoo-rah isim, and every part of the sports experience is commodified and sold to advertisers.

New England Patriots heralded the New World Order
This is the first thread I've ever created, so please have a little mercy on me! :)

Last night, I was watching Super Bowl LI like a good number of Americans and people globally were, and like a good American (lol) I was rooting for the Atlanta Falcons to win. A little bit into the Fourth Quarter of the game something surreal, almost fourth wall breaking, happened as I was watching.

The in-stadium loudspeakers started playing the main hook/riff to the Ministry song "N.W.O." and the timing in which it was played was incredibly unsettling.



What makes this unsettling? A variety of things:
The song is a direct criticism of Bush Senior's administration and the political, social, and economic climate of the United States in the early 1990's. It highlighted the path America was taking then with the issues of police brutality/racism and the L.A. riots, etc.
It played right before the game totally swung into the Patriots' favor. The Patriots went from 0.5% predicted odds of winning, to winning in overtime in a matter of about 40 minutes.
The relevant people involved in the New England Patriots' success are all public friends of Donald Trump. Robert Kraft (Owner), Bill Belichick (General Manager & Head Coach), and Tom Brady (Star Quarterback).
The song is extremely relevant to today's America too and the issues we are facing.You could say we may very well be on the cusp of a New World Order...
George Bush Senior and Barbara Bush made their first public appearance in some time to toss the coin to start Super Bowl LI.

Ministry - New World Order

"All the locals hide their tears of regret
Open fire 'cause I love you to death
Sky high, with a heartache of stone
You'll never see me 'cause I'm always alone

How to love without a trace of dissent
I'll buy the torture 'cause you pay for the rent
Tied high with a broken command
You're all alone to the promised land

I'm in love with this malicious intent
You've been taken but you don't know it yet
What you will know must never live to be found
'Cause it's the subject of the eyes of the clown"

Gaming side has a thread on the Switch being the switching point of the game, but I thought that this coincidence was far more ominous and worth discussing...

Go Steelers! haha

Those are some fair points, and while I mock football, some of the injuries those guys sustain are pretty hideous and debilitating. I played it when I was a kid, and of all the sports I tried, it seemed to me to be the least... Aggressive. I dunno. I was a linebacker so it wasn't like I had a million dudes trying to destroy me all the time. Wrestling was way worse, some guy broke my hand during a match.

There's plenty wrong with football, but if it's toxic masculinity and rape culture we're worried about promoting, I think we'd all be best not to ever go to another Hollywood production or watch mainstream television.
