NFL 2017 Pick'em League!

The Green Bay Packers are a publicly held non profit corporation with over 360,000 share holders. That must truly suck for the NFL whenever the Packers win a Superbowl. Every owner gets a ring.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think a 100% socialist economy would work, just pointing out in this case it is mixed. But the NFL even without mentioning the Packers is a form of privatized socialism. It is why the Saints of the 70s and 80s sucked huge donkey balls and still stayed afloat. The teams still profit share to prop up the other teams that may not be doing so well. But even outside the issue of the NFL privatized socialism is not a liberal idea, but a GOP "fuck you I got mine" "trickle down" idea. Big business socializes the profits with CEOs and shareholders between them when they win, and socialize the loses on the tax payers when they lose. Far too many Americans don't want to face the fact that the top is using their wallets for gambling money. And all these greedy assholes have to do is use slurs like "COMMIE" to scare people into allowing them to pick their pockets  (October 2, 2017 at 1:18 pm)The Gentleman Bastard Wrote: The Green Bay Packers are a publicly held non profit corporation with over 360,000 share holders.

Apparently when the Packers won their last Super Bowl the team created a special shareholder ring and sold it to shareholders who wanted one.

I mean, he never really had a prime. 👀

Shit, I am way past being willing to give up on the Redskins name, just stop sucking! Redskins fans keep singing silently that ABBA SONG. "Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call? Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all Ring, ring, I stare at the playoffs on the wall, And I sit all alone impatiently Wont you please understand the need in me SOOOOO Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?" FUCKING 92 was our last Superbowl. Man we are on our way to being the Cubs of the NFL. I want a fucking ring!
