And Aren't You a Shallow Cunt!

That is the problem.  Whitey doesn't care how many niggers the cops shoot.  They just want to watch football and not have to think about anything more complicated than pass or run on 3d and 4.

They'll care on a city-specific basis when some pro-bowl star gets shot for driving while black.

They'll get over it if the team has a good draft the following year.

the average length of a game of American football is 3 hours, 12 minutes.

During which the ball is actually in play for about 10 minutes.

Yep, still having nothing to do with why sane people kneel because they want better for the country, but yea.

If you take out all the stops and starts and commercial breaks, and only count the seconds from start to finish of a play, it averages out to 10-12 minutes.

As an aside, back when I first met my x-wife from Japan, she was smart, picked up the game in less than a season, was catching penalties I was missing. Anywho, I kept telling her how small the field was in reality. When we met my dorm was right next to a soccer practice field. I kept telling her an NFL field was around the same size. But the TV makes it look much bigger.

So one year we went to a Skins/ Eagles game right after the new stadium was built in Landover Md. We walk through the portal from the concourse to the seating, she looks down at the field and turns to me and says, "That's it?" I looked back and said, "I tried to tell you."

Skins won that game. We sat close to the end zone and during warm ups, I was shouting at the Eagles players "Bad birdies, bad birdies, we don't like you." She had fun, we both had fun.

I did go to one Dallas/Skins game in Washington at the old RFK stadium, one the Skins lost. I was again close to the end zone and shouting at Jimmy Johnson, he looked up at the crowd in my direction, not sure if he saw me, but smiled as if to say, "That's what you think."

Worst part of this testosterone bullshit, was after the Skins lost I was walking back to my car talking to a Dallas fan, saying they played a good game, and behind me I hear, "HEY, what are you talking to him for?" Some asshole Skins fans forgot it was JUST A FUCKING GAME. No, I don't like losing to the Cowboys, but it is still just a game.

I hate sports fans whom are willing to fight at the stadium or at a bar, and these same assholes get upset over players pointing out problems off the field with non violent protest.

Actually I think sports occupies far too much time and energy among people.  It is a distraction from the fucking they are getting.

Similarly, sports in America and the accompanying culture of sports fanaticism plays people’s minds and continuously demands their focused emotional attention inning by inning, play by play. Sports fans respond to the constant sensational cycles of competition between individuals and/or teams, and the unavoidable emotional and psychological result of winning or losing.

Likewise, sports and the addiction to sports, like many other addictions, is a distraction diverting the attention of the participants from reality to the reality of the game and the emotional and psychological addictive benefits it guarantees. As the musical chair participants predictably walk in one direction careful not to miss a second or lose attention for fear of losing the game, so also do sports fans figuratively march in one direction; going along with the waves of storylines, latest scores and memes that the sports leagues throw at them on a daily, even hourly or minute-by-minute basis, careful not to miss a score, a game, or a big story.

I am no conspiracy theorist in the slightest, but funny how Hitler attached physical attributes, to national sports too. 

The Olympics are a joke now. It is all sold as a way of bonding globally but it is nothing but a way for global corporations to fleece the common populations. 

There was a documentary out a couple years ago showing all the WORLDWIDE venues that basically got abandon after and rotted. 

Global corporations, friend and foe alike, and for anyone to stupidly claim that the private sector does not exist in closed states, is FUCKING ABSURD.

Global corporations have learned to manipulate humans and pit them against each other. Conflict is profitable and sports is metaphor for conflict.

I do not watch the Olympics simply because of the flag-waving horseshit.

I wonder if an American track team kneels during the "medal ceremony."  I can imagine racist 'Murrica losing their fucking minds.
