theacademy: reminder that if youre going to boycott the nfl it

theacademy 09.24.17	it feels good
ArsMoriendi 09.24.17	How can I boycott something If I never pay attention to it in the first place?
smaugman 09.24.17	how are you staff
ArsMoriendi 09.24.17	Because he reviews a ton of modern albums no one else wants to review, he has his niche
ArsMoriendi 09.24.17	Wait... he hasn't reviewed anything all year? I take that back.
someguest 09.24.17	The NFL is like any corporate employer. If you do something they don't like to change the image of the company, you're going to piss them off. The real bummer is these guys think taking a knee will do anything but make them look like hypocrites. The monetary factor alone puts them in an entirely difference class of people now, regardless of their beginnings. They're there to play a game. These guys don't even understand why they're there. It's a privilege all by itself.
TenSecondsToThink 09.24.17	the downfall of game of thrones always reminds me of world of warcraft. from hardcore game/show to casual bullshit
neekafat 09.24.17	I approve
neekafat 09.24.17	"how are you staff" brb dying
theacademy 09.24.17	@guest re: "the monetary factor alone" i mean (a) it takes a ton of hard work to make it to the nfl and (b) the players are not compensated remotely fairly given the value they generate because of a systematic depressing of player bargaining power courtesy of a weak union and an overpaid despotic commish
Toad 09.24.17	i find this list unprofessional and not of the caliber we expect our staff to produce here at the ~distinguished~ sputnikmusic dot com
theacademy 09.24.17	deletes hundreds of comments that disagree with me about game of thrones
Ryus 09.24.17	good point acad
someguest 09.24.17	What significant level of success doesn't take a ton of work? It's also like any other job - don't like the conditions/requirements, do something else. This isn't that difficult. And it's not just the players that create value.
Ryus 09.24.17	this is why basketball and soccer are better
someguest 09.24.17	You just love guys playing with balls, don't ya Ryus?
BallsToTheWall 09.24.17	Ravens took a hard pounding.
theacademy 09.24.17	they create an astronomical amount of economic value tho... thats what makes it different from most other jobs and why it's a problem that their pay does not reflect as much economic not societal, obviously
theacademy 09.24.17	also baseball is the only good sport, both to watch and because it's players have a strong union
someguest 09.24.17	The pay argument will go nowhere. As individuals they're worthless. But together they create a team, and that generates value. An exponential effect you could say.
Ryus 09.24.17	"You just love guys playing with balls, don't ya Ryus?" that i do
deathschool 09.24.17	No Fun League. Am I right or am I correct? But yeah, fuck those guys.
hal1ax 09.24.17	Agree w someguest
RogueNine 09.24.17	Yeah but who wants to boycott football?
NordicMindset 09.24.17	yknow what if they want to kneel even if it's for nothing, whatever, let them kneel. I support kneeling for the sake of kneeling
deathschool 09.24.17	Luckily for me, college football is king where I am, so I don't have to give up anything.
EphemeralEternity 09.24.17	should just can the league, stupid sport nobody enjoys it anyway
theYearis1999 09.24.17	The Stones suck?! You monster
theacademy 09.24.17	eat shit 1999 this is 2017
Prancer 09.24.17	Why do people still care about a sport in which a team can't get through a drive without a hundred penalties being called and someone getting a concussion because organizations can't teach their teams how to tackle right? A one hour game runs for over 3 hours because half the time I gotta look at referee Jenkins bringing the drive back 15 yards because a player looked at another player the wrong way.
MyNameIsPencil 09.24.17	fuck the steelers
Egarran 09.24.17	"Why do people still care" Consider the alternative: Realizing the horror of being American. It's too much for a lot of people.
grannypantys 09.24.17	It would be sweet if Chi and/or Houston win today. Always root for the underdogs. But ya. Don't support the NFL financially until it becomes fun to watch again.
TheWrenKing 09.24.17	"this is why basketball and soccer are better" uefa and fifa still hella corrupt tho, english football filled with homophobia and racism, shady practices all round
someguest 09.24.17	"english football filled with homophobia" pretty shocking considering everyone who plays/enjoys soccer is a homosexual
Ryus 09.24.17	"uefa and fifa still hella corrupt tho, english football filled with homophobia and racism, shady practices all round" well yeah but at least it doesnt give you brain damage
someguest 09.24.17	has anyone completed studies on the effects of viewing soccer on the brain? chances are it might.
TheSupernatural 09.24.17	^wanker
grannypantys 09.24.17	^proof
jagride 09.24.17	leave some low hanging fruit for the others someguest
LethalPaintball 09.24.17	all sports fuckin suck
Ryus 09.24.17	maybe if youre a nerd
LethalPaintball 09.25.17	dont got any time for a bunch of potentially gay guys tackling each other
Ryus 09.25.17	oh yeah football sucks that's for sure
LethalPaintball 09.25.17	and soccer is a bunch of pussies using their feet to move a ball cuz they got no muscle basketball is aight i guess lol
TheSpaceMan 09.25.17	lots of correct opinions itt
TheSpaceMan 09.25.17	but fr wtf ravens
rodrigo90 09.25.17	How if you send me the NFL to this region of the world? I mean seriously I must be the only dude from Argentina who enjoys ice hockey.
AlexKzillion 09.25.17	"reminder that if youre going to boycott the nfl it should be because the owners r scumbags" true "the players union is weak" true but why would I boycott over this? "and CTE" lol "being weak on sexual assault/rape/domestic violence" should be reworded to "being able to beat up and rape women but still make millions as long as you don't piss off old uncle chandler who's been a packers season ticket holder since the lombardi days"
CygnusX1 09.25.17	NFL sucks, the president sucks, game of thrones sucks, the beatles suck, everything sucks. The Stones are okay I guess.
rodrigo90 09.25.17	Shit I meant the NHL not the NFL, my bad.
theacademy 09.25.17	yea the nhl ruels
Egarran 09.25.17	I was with you until 'the Stones are ok'.
theacademy 09.25.17	he's trolling nobody thinks that lmao
Egarran 09.25.17	lol
TheSpaceMan 09.25.17	Can we boycott ctes?
OldCrime 09.26.17	The Australian football (AFL) Grand Final is next weekend. If you've never seen the game I highly recommend you check it out.
