Eh this is a dumb take. It offers supremely talented people who have worked hard at what they do to have an opportunity for an education and refinement of their craft. The idea that all or even a substantial amount of athletes on college scholarships are thugs is ignorant.
I disagree. College has become a waste of time and money unless you are in one a select few degrees. Many young men would financially much better off learning a trade. 4 years of learning to be an electrician and you are now making 50k MINIMUM. You also make money while you are learning those skills

Millionaire players funded by blue collar Americans, that sh*t on us every chance they get. Watch college and high school, until they get woke, then screw them all. We can fix it.

Congress needs to remove the anti-trust exemption. I mean its bad enough States are funding these businesses... let alone the Federal government giving them a huge break.
Let these sport enterprises compete just like every other business.

That party now has nearly full control and complicity of every major vehicle for influencing public thought and, even without actual political power, has already begun using that to operate as a defacto Soviet state.
That shite ain't going to get better if they win an election or flip the judiciary.
But hey. You'll be fine.

I dunno. If Democrats had full power right now they's probably spend their time trying to tax rich people and do a number of wildly expensive things related to health care, infrastructure, climate change, minimum wage, shite like that- exactly like last time.

Ask your city not to build a new NFL STADIUM.

Either you have a stance on something, or you’re a coward who is willing to ignore that which you know is true for the sake of some game that has absolutely no meaning.

OVERT government sanctioned discrimination. Driven by Democrats.
And things you listed? Those are more tools to continue doing so. Every new area of the economy they take over is an area they can openly play favorites on.
Hell. I work in a city FULL of government contractors that support government programs at Redstone and it is just goddamned comical. EVERY SINGLE SETA contractor is town is either "woman owned" or "minority owned". Why? Because you are basically non-competitive if that is NOT reality for your company.
Atlanta is a cesspool of such policies.
Frankly, you don't notice it because you aren't a target. And that's fine.
I'm merely telling the targets that maybe they should take note that they are targets.

The problem with the NFL is there is no competition.
