This is a weird one and I know in the past we've had discussions on whether or not we should include them but I want to nominate the law enforcement officers that interacted with Michael Bennett. Specifically the Las Vegas and Houston police departments. Las Vegas ones tied him down for solely being a big black man, then had that crazy weird flag humping press conference. The Houston one threw bogus charges at him for charging a disabled usher, without specifics, called him morally corrupt and had another flag humping session.

Anyone have links to previous years’ threads?

I’ll definitely vote for Whitlock, even for the HoF, though in my heart he’s more likely to get into the latter in 2019. Donnie’s orange shadow is just too yuuuge this year.

This is the Douche Tracker thread, which died in December and doesn't have a lot in it: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3830055 I'm not sure if we're just rolling all of the anthem-protest stuff into NFL Owners, but if not, here's a nomination for Jerry Jones: me, in October posted:Jerry Jones two weeks ago: kneels alongside his team during the national anthem. https://twitter.com/mortreport/status/917541753242210305 And Clay Travis, for a bunch of poo poo that I can't quote because archives: https://twitter.com/groovinmahoovin/status/908032886762287107 https://twitter.com/chrislhayes/status/908826788918435842 https://twitter.com/ClayTravis/status/914668549460971521 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSCneVakGGk I know Clay Travis is low-hanging fruit because his job is to generate Hot Takes, but he had himself a pretty good year, it looks like.

Instead of just seconding someone else's suggestion, I'd like to propose my own: Santa Clara District Attorney Kevin Smith for trying to stitch up Reuben Foster for domestic violence when they had plenty of evidence he was clearly innocent.

I nominate ESPN for their treatment of Jemele Hill. Specifically they reprimanded her for stating the obvious that Trump is a white supremacist, then suspended her for being critical of Jerry Jones and his flag humping poo poo. I wanna say there was some other dumb poo poo they did regarding college football announcing, but I can't remember.

football The sport Everyone has known forever that football destroys peoples' bodies and leaves some of them unable to care for themselves. It's been known for 25+ years—as well as being apparent to the masses for 10+ years—that football destroys peoples' brains, and it's just about everyone who plays it for A while. The destruction is not limited to high levels of play paying healthy salaries over the course of several 'seasons', though; it's found in children playing for a couple of months (or less)* and even those who do not really get to play in real games very much which means the entire point (fun) is at no point present for many of them. Compared to any other sport with any popularity anywhere, football is hosed up as hell. And it sucks to try and play it with a bunch of people and 90% of people don't know most of the rules It's no coincidence that football is owned, operated, and overseen by some of the biggest scumbags on Earth at every level whether you'e talking about NFL owners, the NCAA as a whole, Vince McMahon, Donald Trump, anyone any of them directly hires, any of their appointed arbiters, and so on and so forth. It's silly to bother dividing the sport as it stands into "good" and "douchebag" because every single thing about it is horrible as gently caress except for a lot of the players as people which is completely unrelated to the sport. The big rear end and dick smell really bad for football, and the Cincinnati Bengals will win the Super Bowl. Kobe

Well "Football" isn't a person or a group of people so while I see your point I don't think "Football" is eligible. Keep trying though, Cavauro, I believe in you.

Vincent Van Goatse posted:I nominate (or second) Cavauro because the joke isn't funny any more, it's just tiresome. Well if I add Cavauro, I guess I'd have to add myself, since I was also nominated, so in all fairness I'll just disqualify goons from being nominated. Even stevens. On the other hand, Chichevache posted:God herself for creating us with the flaw of mortality. God may or may not exist, but I don't feel as though my skepticism on the matter should disqualify that entity. Assuming Chiche is referring to the Abrahamic deity, this event was not in the past year, so I've entered God for the Hall of Fame. Of course this means that God is going to be beaten by Trump, I'm not quite sure how we feel about that. This is stretching the rules though, because Chiche's described reason for nominating God is only loosely connected to Football. In as much as all football players eventually must die (except Adam Vinatieri, who is immortal), anyway, I'm provisionally allowing it. I think we'll wrap up nominations tomorrow, 1 full week seems sufficient given the level of participation. We've got 17 nominations for the DotY and 3 for HoF (including Jason Whitlock for both, and counting God), so that's a number I can work with anyway. 6 nominations for DotY have no seconds yet. Here's the sheet again, if anyone wants to read it through and think about any more nominations/seconds.
