I'm just much more concerned about the stuff that actually affects the play of the game, moreso than virtue signalling before the game.
that’s fine.
me on the other hand would just not rather watch at all until I can watch pregame, the game, halftime, and the post game without being guilt tripped over my supposed white privilege or problems I have nothing to do with. I do not want politics and social issues mixed in with my sports, especially social movements based on false narratives.
y’all keep saying change the channel, flip the page, look at another website, tune into another radio station, find a new hobby. That is what people are doing, why are people getting mad about it? (not directed at you)
too each their own tho.

I wish people would stop saying this.
You ignorant fricks were cleaning stores out of their toilet paper and all of their food despite the "downplaying" and you seriously think he should have gone even further in scaring the American people?
Do you realize the impact that type of fear would have created?
Mass fear like that is incredibly dangerous. Trump did plenty on the back end, while being careful not to scare the idiot population into hysteria.

I don't think anyone would actually get mad about anyone boycotting, I know I don't
its the incessant need to tell everyone about said boycott that people make fun of
I make fun of virtue signalling. Its what I do

What authority does the president have to shut down businesses, since you said he should have done so?
He could have signed an executive order to send to Congress to shut down. So no, he doesn't have direct power to shut anything down. doesnt make him any less of an incompetent buffoon for how he handled this.

Then why were you crying about him not doing so?
Here's a hint for you: Try actually understanding what power various levels of government have before making yourself look like a fricking moron because you're ate up with TDS.

Any further discussion of Covid-19 by the media or government should be banned under the "fire in a crowded theater" doctrine.

Yep. It's the people who are so insecure about their beliefs and decisions that they need validation from strangers online.

It’s damn near a direct quote from Trump
You can debate all day on whether he should have or not - other countries seemed to handle it fine without lying to us like we’re toddlers, but whatever - but to complain about the quote itself is asinine.
It’s literally what happened.

I think it is if you're virtue signaling about his virtue signaling of the OP's virtue signaling about the NFL's virtue signaling.

The guy on Saints Talk acting like Nelson Mandela because he made it through a whole Sunday without watching us play is definitely a 10/10 on the annoying virtue signal scale

Other counties didn't have toilet paper hoarding situations either. Their people actually laughed at us for that even being a thing, in the posts I saw.

Haha yeah, if Drumpf had only informed us, the economy would not have lost so many jobs, and bars would be open.
