    While I'm feeling productive let's name rep tiers similar to the old site. Do we want badges for them as well? 

    Yes please. As an outsider I was quite proud of having worked my way up to asshat status on the old scat site.

    I was thinking this until talking to my FIL this weekend.  He's anti-dotard, but is falling back on the old R talking points and starting to convince himself that it will be even worse with Biden.  I'm fucking worried.

    Yep. By November 1, he'll be full "marxist" in idiots' minds and that's scarier than trump. He already says "far left" everytime he mentions Biden. He says Biden wants to defund police when he has said the opposite and when corrected he blabs so by November 1, he'll be antifa who wants to execute police officers in the town square. People are really, really, really fucking stupid and will fall for it, which is what trumps people figured out in 2016. We haven't gotten any smarter. He will win reelection.

    Shit like this EO is just him throwing a bone to his base. I don't think the admin is all that concerned with the enforceability. 

    No, they are very concerned, and know exactly how this will play out. It'll get ruled unconstitutional before the election, and they can cry "lIBrUl JUdgES OmG rUiNinG 'mURica" and then people "on the fence" will vote trump because, he may be an actual idiot who the world laughs at and who mocks war heroes and is a traitor, but "LIbRul JuDgEs omG!!!!!!!" It will work. It always works.

  4. Just clicked on that handle and it's a right wing troll account. Sure, some fans are upset that a black player dare support black causes, but a bunch also either support him, and most fans either don't follow twitter and don't know about it, or just don't give a fuck, and appreciation of his play on the field separate of whether they agree or disagree with his personal political views.

    Yes, they do, and always have. My point was how on earth did y'all watch that and see the Washington Monument and think "Hey when did that get to Seattle?"

    Again, I was 10. At the end of the commercial breaks I was probably too busy trying to hide my boner from the bikini girl beer ads that just played to be noticing the D.C. landmarks.

    According to this Jezebel article about him from 2008, the "Everything I Don't Like or Don't Know Must Be Racist" theory may not apply here:

    https://jezebel.com/nyc-attorney-out-to-reclaim-his-ex-wife-from-feminisms-5038521

    He says, post-divorce, "I tend to be attracted to black and Latin chicks, and Asian chicks,"

     

    More:

    About eight years ago, Roy Den Hollander was living the high life. He'd just returned to New York from a decade working in Russia with a pretty, young, docile Russian bride in tow and was set to live the high life. Then he found out what all his friends and acquaintances in Russia knew but hadn't told him (and I know, because I called some of them and asked): that she'd married him for her green card and his money and set on about divorcing him. He admits that he's still bitter [quelle surprise], which is why he spends all his time these days filing "antifeminist" lawsuits, to try to rid the world of feminism so that in twenty years he can marry a wife untainted by some foolish idea that she is his intellectual equal or better and so that, in the mean time, he can get laid more cheaply. Yeah, he's the same guy that filed lawsuits against bars and clubs that have "Ladies Nights."

    I said large overlap, not necessarily 100%. But it still very likely holds here. He is attracted to those types of women as his subordinates. So not only was it a woman in power, but it is likely that a minority woman in power made it doubly worse for him to comprehend. In his mind, women, and minority women in particular, are supposed to be subservient to all men, or more specifically him, if not for all these feminists (insert also "SJW").

    For our conspiracy friends:

    Today is the 27th anniversary of Vince Foster being found dead in Fort Marcy Park.

    So maybe the Illuminati killed Charlie Daniels, or maybe the murderer of Salas' son knows how to troll.

     

    Edit:  Thank you Foosters, for tipping us off that the murderer was Dutch:

    https://www.thedailybeast.com/gunman-ambushes-nj-federal-judge-esther-salas-husband-mark-anderl-and-son-at-home?ref=home

    ...The gunman who shot the husband and son of a federal judge in New Jersey is believed to be a lawyer and men’s rights activist who was found dead of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound hours later, two law-enforcement sources told The Daily Beast.

    Roy Den Hollander was discovered in the upstate New York town of Rockland, the sources said. He had a case—a challenge to the military’s male-only draft—pending before Salas, according to court documents.

    Hollander described himself on his website as an anti-feminist. “Now is the time for all good men to fight for their rights before they have no rights left,” it said.

    His family could not be reached for comment....

    There a lot of overlap between these types and racist types, so could also be that not only was she female but Hispanic, and likely gave him a result he didn't like, so took him over the edge.

    When I started following the Redskins, they actually were in DC, so maybe that's the difference. But practically every broadcast had shots of the Jefferson Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument and Capitol Building.

    I'm pretty sure they still show those things on the broadcasts. Like how they show the Dallas skyline during Cowboys games and the SF skyline for 49ers games even though they don't actually play in the city they represent.

    Sheltered childhood.

    What a bizarre comment. I turned 10 in 1992, the first year I remember caring about the Dallas Cowboys because they were really good. Before then I only causally watched sports and my extended family was split between the Oilers and Cowboys (we lived in Corpus). I remember being a Warren Moon fan first because they were good and my cousins in Houston gave me some Oilers stuff. But the Cowboys were badass in 1992 and I became a fan at that formative age when a bunch of other people around me hopped on that bandwagon. It was that year I started reading the sports page and I bought some football books at the book fair. My dad told me that if I was a Cowboys fan I should really dislike the Washington team. I'm pretty sure that is when I had the Washington state vs. D.C. enlightenment. There were lots of other things I didn't know at 10, in case that surprises you.

    NFL starting to look more iffy too. No way college goes ahead if NFL can’t pull it off. 

    The NFL will almost certainly happen, maybe without fans. The TV contracts are too large, and they have the funds for rapid testing the players. CFB has a ton of money on the line too, but they also have the problem of schools that may or may not have students on campus full time. It's much more awkward to be playing football games on campus when other students are not there, especially if they want to continue the "charade" of the "student athlete" to avoid paying them.

  11. I think they make a wholesale change by going with "D.C." instead of "Washington" like their MLS club.  I think they really want to move back into the District when their lease in Maryland is up. I remember growing up learning that the "Washington" teams were from D.C. and not the state (I was like 10 or something). Especially if D.C. eventually gets statehood (which I think is inevitable by now). They could go Euro with it like "D.C.F.B." or go with a name like 'D.C. Senators" or "D.C. Redwolves." There seems to be some unique pride in that area for people who live or work in the District.
