Nah, NFL is still pretty entertaining. It’s just on too many days now. Give it to me on Sunday, one game on Monday night and the couple Saturdays at end of season. I’ll allow a kickoff game on Thursday to start season if you must.

Thanksgiving?

Question for the history buffs: When’s the last time a U.S. President asked for a sports venue to be named after him? Was it Obama, or are we going all the way back to Lincoln?

Trump just came on as a guest announcer for the Commanders-Lions game.  Good news, the economy is in great shape, and if it isn't it's Biden's fault.  He said some other stupid shit too, like the starting QB for our team (Commanders) needs to stop getting injured.

1. Trump and MAGA infiltrated sports. Politics and sports should not intertwine. But they made it happen. 

- After Trump showed up, I spent all weekend cheering for Team Europe. Not because I dislike the American players, but because of what this country's leadership stands for now. The American fans are a fucking embarassment. I'm fucking ashamed. 

- Quinn Ewers wearing Trump stuff. Fuck you, man. You should know better.  

You got this thread off to an excellent start. I never opened it before because I didn't know how well the subject would be handled. Compliments.

Politics started becoming more like sports back around 1980. On election night, I worked at an airport warehouse, some of the other young men were gathered where I was working were talking about the election. One asked who I would vote for. I was conflicted. "Probably Carter."

"Carter? Man, he's going to lose!"

It was revelatory. It was all about being on the winning side pulling for the winning team. Of course, it became more pronounced over the decades. For GOPS, so many of their voters should sport some kind of jersey. They already have a team hat that they wear like true team supporters everywhere they go.

 

I, too, find myself ambivalent about US teams. I now hate the U!S!A!  U!S!A! chant. It sounds like a taunt rather than a cheer. "Fucking ashamed." You nailed it.

Ewers wearing that shit bugs me. The subject should not be introduced in any public way in sports. Sadly, again as you note, that ship has sailed.

Fuck Pat McAfee and ESPN. 

 

Between this and Dana white upthread, is that the new magat defense?  “I don’t really know anything about politics”?  Because it’s a fucking lie. Well, if they mean policies, sure, but they sure as fuck know what cult they are in.

I have ALWAYS disliked Pat McAfee.  It bordered on real, old fashioned hate.   I'm fully there now.

He's truly the worst punter in NFL history, if I have to be honest.

It's the same "I'm not political, I just post in DT and the business board" type of bullshit lie that we see often. The "anti-political" folks are ALWAYS coming from a position of "the conservative dogma is law, and asserting facts that disagree with my narrative is deeply political"

This shit is real. 

I completely forgot the Texas vs Georgia game was today until a few min ago. I didn't even think about a Texas game during the bye week last weekend. 

Last year I made game day plans days ahead of time for almost all the games. 

Guess when you know you're at war you stop really caring much about small trivial things.

I didn't look to see what time the game was until I woke up this morning.

I feel sorry for you guys who've given up on CFB because you're missing some high level comedy in this South Carolina-aggy game.

I saw the score. Now aggy coming back because SC is 3-6 garbage. 

It just really doesnt matter to me much anymore. It's a minor amusement for a few minutes then I forget about it.

I don't even care about gambling on sports anymore. It was fun when it was a vice, now it's just the norm and discussed all day throughout sports media. Oh well.

Watching souf Carolina play MAGA central. This video crystallizes why sports are doomed unless fascism is defeated. Sport requires the perception of an even playing field. When power directly interferes in a sporting event, we are left with only athletic pageant.

The link is to video of a Texas State trooper deliberately shoulder checking a Gamecock player who ran into the tunnel, after scoring a touchdown, and was returning to the field.

I read he was unfairly relieved of his duties. That patriot should be one of ICE’s top targets in the transfer portal. He showed tremendous natural aggression toward minorities and just needed less accountability to really shine. Buy stock in this trooper, he’s an up and comer.
