NFL Rant

[asmo]

Having worked very closely with 2 NFL quarterbacks in my past (Steve Young and Joe Montana) I can tell you that they are very very intelligent and incredibly business savvy.

That said I give the rant a 3/10 since it didn't have a lot of fire and brimstone which is what I like - that and its just a regurgitation of stuff.

I'm sorry but you are completely wrong and your thinking is socialist and reminds me of the crap BO is putting out.


I don't want what's theirs. I don't want them to give what they have to others. Please tell me how I'm like a socialist again?

From Wikipedia:

"A socialist economic system would consist of an organization of production to directly satisfy economic demands and human needs, so that goods and services would be produced directly for use instead of for private profit driven by the accumulation of capital. Accounting would be based on physical quantities, a common physical magnitude, or a direct measure of labour-time in place of financial calculation.[5][6] Distribution of output would be based on the principle of individual contribution."

What you say is wrong about the NFL is that they make too much for playing a game and that what they do has no social value and therefore does not meet your standard of individual contribution. Also what they choose to do with their time is wrong.

Please re-read what you wrote with an open mind to what socialism stands for.

When I'm sitting at my little desk pondering what's REALLY important in life, football is something that I think could have never existed... with no real consequence.

Perhaps, but it exists because of capitalism and therefore has value to someone.

I agree! Watched the Arizona/Steelers Super Bowl game in AFG and two hours later had a little more to worry about than losing a $10 bet on that game. Hint: we had a rocket attack.

Went to the Broncos game yesterday, was upset that we lost for about 5 min then back to normal. It's amazing when you think about it what it really does in the long run for you... Provides a little entertainment, then back to living YOUR life. I couldn't really care any less who wins the super bowl this year... if it's us, great, if not, whatev's. Like TheBelly, I've got bigger things to worry about.
Stay safe over there bro! Keep your brain basket down and watch your six!
