re: The History They Want You To Forget / The Future That Lies Ahead

[quote]That was an excellent movie. I liked chamberlains address to his Maine unit at little round top. Very stirring.
But I will take issue with why men fight, and I have had this said to me by veterans and by soldiers throughout history.
Men and women don’t fight and die for ideals, ideology, ...

I'm definitely guessing he doesn't want anyone to remember that he played Robert E. Lee. He's hoping the movie has been long forgotten. :lol:...
re: When will Ken Burns Civil War be pulled
Posted by TheSaintsMan on 6/12/20 at 5:33 pm
I went on Ebay today and bought Gettysburg Director's Cut Blu-ray (have it on DVD currently), God's and Generals (not my favorite but still good) and Gone With the Wind. Looking at Ken Burns Civil War as well.
You have to imagine any type of material that doesn't paint the Confederacy as murderin...

Maybe not. But did you ever think it would go this far?
I consider Glenn Beck to be a nut, but he was right on one thing. Years ago he said you wouldn't recognize the country in a few years. Up would be down, down would be up, right would be wrong and wro...

I have a question about this. So if they are getting 40 hours of bereavement time are there any restrictions? Are they required to stay in Portland, wash the feet of black people (if they can actually find any in Portland) and repair the damage that the few black people in the city caused?

You know what's really going to be funny. The first race they are allowing limited fans at is Talladega. You don't get any more Southern than Talladega and that track is always where I saw the most Confederate flags at.
It's going to be hilarious when they can't sell out 5,000 seats. :rotflmao:...

No, they didn't. Since at least the 90s the vast majority of the Super Bowl watching crowd couldn't care less about the game itself.
The Super Bowl is a cultural event more than a sporting event. ...

Enough about the past though, that's not what this topic is about. The fact is NASCAR had a golden opportunity being the only sport on. NASCAR and NHL were the only two major sports left that hadn't gone political. NASCAR had an opportunity to stay non-political and potentially get some NFL fans tha...

[quote]The most watched race in NASCAR history was the 2006 Daytona 500 with 20 million viewers. The Super Bowl that year had over 90 million viewers. Let’s not act like NASCAR was going to pass the NFL.[/quote]
Bad comparison. The Super Bowl is a different animal altogether. The vast majority of...

TypoKnig at one point it was the #2 spectator sport just behind the NFL. That was before Earnhardt's death.
Go back and look at those races. The tracks couldn't build stands fast enough. NASCAR races were bigger events than your individual NFL games (NFL games on average were getting 65-70,000, N...
NASCAR's Amazing Screwup

At some point college business courses need to use NASCAR as an example of how to destroy a business.
The downfall of NASCAR from a National Sport that was close to rivaling the NFL in popularity to essentially nothing is pretty amazing.
With the Coronavirus NASCAR was given an amazing opport...

Would be fine by me. NASCAR has been dead for 15 years now. Some say it died when Earnhardt died. I would agree that it's status of challenging the NFL died that day but NASCAR itself was still very big. The COT was what really killed NASCAR.

re: NASCAR driver quits after Confederate flag ban: 'All you are doing is f—ing one group'

Everyone says NASCAR can ban the Confederate Flags from their races, but can they? Sure NASCAR can ban it on tracks they own, but what about non-NASCAR tracks? Tracks like Indy, Pocono, Kentucky, Charlotte, Dover, Atlanta, Bristol, Vegas, Texas and Sonoma. That's 16 out of the 36 races on the NASCAR...

Protest Ideas Regarding First Home Game

I'm thinking both of these ideas might work for fans wanting to voice their displeasure.
1) For fans closer to the field, go down to the first row during warmups and throw your Thomas/Kamara/Jenkins jersey on the field. Lets those players see the rejection. Make sure to damage the jersey before ...
