Doesn't make up for the NFL denying their game gives people permanent brain damage and enables a culture were people are entertained by people taking brain destroying hits and they STILL encourage their kids to do so:

And for decades they claimed they were a non-profit and cheated out communities out billions and billions of dollars - much more than any charitable distraction they've pulled. It's a spectator sport that favors the brainless and PR stunts won't change that.
Bill Maher has been making the point for a while that the reason the Democrats are getting their asses handed to them lately is due in large part to the liberal wing being all or nothing when it comes to ideas. IE, if you're not a progressive on every subject, every policy, every micro issue, then it's not good enough. Some of my people (the hippies) are terrible about this. If it's not one whole revamp, complete replacement, giant policy change, whatever, then its unacceptable and we have to burn it down. Simple baby steps, or slow change in the name of progressiveness is unacceptable. The perfect, is definitely the enemy of the good.Wow...buzzkill much?
A culture that created numerous billion dollar problems and is literally brain damaging people for entertainment isn't something that requires baby steps. These aren't minor concerns that have just come to light.This is a good example of that.
I agree that all of these things are serious issues that need addressing.A culture that created numerous billion dollar problems and is literally brain damaging people for entertainment isn't something that requires baby steps. These aren't minor concerns that have just come to light.
The NFL denied the clear evidence of TBI for decades. They falsely claimed non-profit status for decades. They've taken billions from communities they know won't benefit economically with false promises they will. They won't employ people like Colin Kaepernick standing behind valid social causes because fake taxpayer paid patriotism and they'll gladly defend felons and most of their fans could careless about either. They've also a part of other fine traditions like rape culture and dog fighting. Sport fans riot more often than BLM or Antifa all for losing or even winning rather than actual social problems and that's given a pass too.
All of their minor PR charity efforts aren't going to makeup for all the TBI and related deaths they could have prevented or come close the back taxes they should pay for claiming non-profit status and helping wealthy team owners convince communities across the country that it's fine to be robbed blind for billions to get a stadium/keep a team.I agree that all of these things are serious issues that need addressing.
In light of that, all those kids with cancer should definitely have just stayed locked up in their shitty hospital rooms and stared at the wall all day.
I lived a block away from a pot shop. I can honestly say there was no real negative impact on the neighborhood short of the traffic that any business would attract. No garbage, no sketchy characters, no "drug related crime".They misspelled my name, but I helped score a win for the big east cost bong shed last night.

Appropriately placed.
That article is a wee bit old, dated February 15, 2014.
cigarette/rolling papers/vape/bong shops are the worst.The same can not be said for the convenient store across the street that sells beer and cigarettes.
Aww man..... I hadn't even noticed. Did I also miss the news that Zimmerman died from a gangrenous dick as well?That article is a wee bit old, dated February 15, 2014.
No, but perhaps there will be a caged death match between Zimmerman and Brian Lopes.Aww man..... I hadn't even noticed. Did I also miss the news that Zimmerman died from a gangrenous dick as well?
There are minor measurable difference that can be shown in nutritional profiles, but most foods over marketed like this (bland meat like beef) are perceived as tasting better primarily due to the imagined placebo effect rather than an actual significant difference:The point is also that it tastes better.
It's ALL IN YOUR MIND, MAN!!!!!
Or there could, you know, actually be a difference.
I've had great steaks from a French trained chef from the supermarket. Tasted fine without a grass-fed kobe hand release label to justify a scam experience.I bet you eat generic mustard too.
Yeah I'm sure the false flags are peer reviewed and published in respected journals just like the restaurant industry is well vetted and on the level.Everything you like is a false flag bro!
I read it on the innernet!
A documented phenomenon does not imply universal application.Yeah I'm sure the false flags are peer reviewed and published in respected journals just like the restaurant industry is well vetted and on the level.
