I have a take on this Rovian BS about the NFL today... It's GOOD for us.
Thinking about this, this is really fuckin stupid to release this oooooga booooga.

Those ball club owners are some of the richest of the rich, Rove is fucking with their base now. Collectively the NFL owners own or are majority shareholders in some of the largest corporations in America.

And majority of them are HUGE donors to the republican party. They may love the chimpboy but if he starts fucking with those ticket revenues and TV contracts....the NFL Owners Association will become a powerful lobby leaning HARD on their politicians.

There is one thing and one thing only the NFL is about and that's money. If they have sufficiently scared the freaks into not going to game, there will be huge blowback on them.


NFL football is also the great american distraction that lets them get by with bullshit without the peons noticing.

I think they screwed up BIG TIME with this crap.

2. Wolf! Wolf! The sky if falling! I think this will not make a dent.
Everyone's immune to this 'terra terra terra!" by now, methinks

3. This isn't good for anybody...
the very fact that this horseshit is "BREAKING NEWS" is all kinds of wrong. There are serious issues that get no coverage at all in the media, and someone somewhere is going to believe this foolishness.

It's utterly ridiculous the crap they try to pull.
