I go to espn online to see the scores and I see herbstreit trying to get me to own part of these softy lefties guilt trip. Active systemic racism is debunked by the millions of people of color who have pulled the hair out of the neither region and made something of themself in this country. Morgan Freeman... the way to get over racism is to stop freakin talking about it. I want my sports withiout people trying to stick a sharp stick in my eye for something someone else did to someone else not the ones nagging us to hell and back,.

Not to get political, but I agree... While racism is bad and I wish it were eradicated... The demand for racism in this country far exceeds the supply.
And as soon as I hear some talking head start trying to make me feel bad for being white, I'm turning it. People have gone over the edge.

The leagues that are continuing the social justice sermon from the announcers booths are seeing ratings drop like rocks. And those that aren't, golf and MLB to name a couple, are doing fine ratings wise. And it is about ratings and TV generated revenues.
I had no problem with it being talked about when the leagues started returning from the Covid breaks, but to continue to beat that drum night after night is not working for them. The one thing the Covid interruption did was prove to people that they don't have to have professional sports to survive. There are other options for time and entertainment.

I was also going to say that's a great way to put it. Great minds, etc. Interesting about the conjunction, I'll have to see if the local observatory has any events

The sad part is folks are making Kaepernick a hero now, saying he was right all along. Well, not in my book.

I've never seen a more glaring instance of moving the goalposts in my life. How is it they didn't know they were going to piss off a country full of veterans?

Just living the dream. Retired now because of my glaucoma issues. Good cigars, better rye whiskey, my Weber Kettle Grill using only Kingsford Original Blue and White Bag Charcoal Briquettes ignited with a charcoal chimney using only newspaper as a fire source, my 30 year old Brinkman smoker, and enjoying my 5 - soon to be 6 - Grandkids keep me fueled these days.

Negatory.
I've got plenty of spoilage ability for all of them.

Sounds great. Hope the glaucoma takes it sweet time in affecting you. Take care.
