Not to hijack the thread but the anthem thing has me really pissed off and pissed off to the point where I won't watch football. I don't begrudge folks (ie: players) who make money. But I do begrudge the players and owners who, in essence, spit in the eye of fans. Football is going to implode like baseball did a few years back. And I never went back to baseball. I couldn't care less. And I'm starting to get the same apathy with football. It's almost to the point I'm watching the drama to see A) when the red headed dolt gets fired and watch the implosion and backpedaling on CZ and B) waiting for Jerry to meet his maker.
Lastly, I'll say this about the left. I don't understand at what point this country went so far left it's borderline socialist. Government handouts galore, high taxes, universal healthcare, etc. What's even more mind-numbing is that these policies have failed in Europe so it's not as if we don't have examples of either failure or success. Maybe in our desire to give our kids everything we could, we didn't realize the damage we'd be causing to things like responsibility and work ethic. If I'd see my kid at college throwing shit around and acting like an asshole, he/she would have hell to pay at home; Big Daddy don't pay for that shit.
