I was among the people who made a bigger deal about this than it was. In hindsight, it is super weird that people were interested in who the guy has sex with.
I remember when the NFL had a trend of domestic assault arrests and they filmed commercials with the players informing us fans that domestic violence is wrong. Lol
I don't care about the skin. It is the wokeness that killed it. The MJ era is wayyy gone and everyone loved him because he loved the game and never got involved in the political BS even tho people STILL gave him shit for NOT commenting. He became the most successful athlete after the sport and I wonder why many others don't look up to him as inspiration.
This. The reason I can’t stand to have basketball on tv is the constant squeaking. It crawls under the skin on the back of my head and chews on the top of my spine until I have the urge to rip the TV off the wall and throw it out of the window.
I knew it was over for Michael Sam right after he was drafted. At that moment, Michael Sam and his twinky boyfriend hugged, kissed and shoved cake into each other's face. It was cringeworthy. Honestly Mike, we knew that you're gay. But you didn't have to be that gay right after being drafted.
Oh God. I remember trying to explain to leftists that if he was good he would play and he’s not being discriminated against. Dude was undersized and had good players near him so he never got doubled and put up most stats against some shit tier right tackles. The NFL is a meritocracy and the GM and coach can tell three days into camp who is gonna cut it and who’s gonna be cut.
Their skillset did not justify the media circus that followed them. So they didn't make the team.
Teams will tolerate a media circus for a good enough player. Ray Lewis and Ben Roflsburger (I don't know how to spell his last name) come to mind. Michael Vick went to prison for dogfighting and was brought back after he served his time.
If you're good enough, a team will make room for you.
If you aren't, you better keep your profile low in case someone needs a mid-season replacement.
That's exactly what it was. I remember thinking Tebow would be worth a shot as a backup QB but it wouldn't be worth the media circus. And that's amplified by damn Kaepernick.
But Trump was right. They should've publicly said they won't ever accept Kaepernick because he's a kneeling bitch. Then I might still be watching.
Tebow could have maybe been developed into a solid journeyman type QB, at least a backup, if he didn't go to the Jets where young QBs go to have their careers ruined (said as a lifelong suffering Jets fan).
Probably. I don't really keep up with it, so it's possible they've went full-retard when it comes to wokeness. That being said, I remember headlines about them banning the track girls or whatever they're called because a bunch of feminists were angry that pretty girls were using their attractiveness to make good money.
Echo this. Former sports fanatic my entire life. Now pretty much the only thing I watch is the PGA tour cuz it's the one thing I can enjoy without having to hear about going woke.
The Elites made sure to leave that one alone. Every other sport to them is low brow entertainment and can be used to divide and conquer the beer chugging masses.
Lol. That ain't happening. There's a price on everything and they won't remove the fucking Masters. That civil rights group must not know shit about golf to even consider that. There are probably way more attainable things both the PGA and Augusta would cuck to. Not complete removal from the PGA. Just won't happen. You'd have better luck giving all minorities one mulligan per side.
Basketball has been the absolute worse. I don't follow basketball or the NBA in general, but seeing the shit they are doing now it is absolutely ridiculous. If I were a fan, I would absolutely be embarrassed to call myself one. It's not even about the sport anymore, it's about scoring the most woke points all while they get their money from China.
I can't think of anything more ironic than a player base made up of 80% black men who make MILLIONS bitching and moaning about racism in this country. These guys have more pull and money to make the communities they grew up in better, but instead they move away and then say black people are oppressed. I believe the local governments are at fault for their communities becoming shitholes, and I believe it should be up to them to fix it, but if these millionaires are crying about it, they should put their money where their mouths are or shut the fuck up.
These professional athletes are some of the most privileged people in the country, they get paid to play a sport. They get a free ride to college and put in 25% of the work needed to graduate as long as they play well. Then they get drafted and receive million dollar signing bonuses. Then they cry oppression. Makes me laugh. These professional leagues have become a clown show.
At the “Lebron James Center For Black Children Who Can’t Read Good And Who Want To Learn To Do Other Stuff Good Too” we teach children that there is nothing more important than the ability to dribble a basketball and wearing shoes that worship the devil.
I went from being in the top 1% of sports watchers my whole life to the bottom 1% this year.
Amazingly, I don't miss it at all.
And I just watched Bongino pushing that people boycott MLB because they are threatening to move the All Star game out of Atlanta because of the new voting laws.
Exact same here. I followed my local NBA team incredibly closely, and watch 3-4 NFL games every weekend. After a year+ of my local drive time sport personality daring me to turn his show off, I eventually did and all other sports at the same time.
I don't miss it at all. I loved seeing the NFL salary cap take a dump a few weeks back, and am waiting for the NBA to do the same. The politics will quickly go away once that happens, but I'll still remember. They've lost a previously diehard for life.
My two childhood heroes were Pete Rose and Roger Clemens. 2 legends who may never see the HoF. I wouldn't even go on a free trip to Cooperstown a number of years back because they won't let Pete in.
Bud Selig is human garbage. Pete Rose not in the hall is a travesty. I’m fortunate to only be a few hours from Cooperstown. Been a few times, once in induction day decades ago.
I love baseball history. It's probably the subject I know more about that any other. I don't need to go to the HoF to love the game, but it would be a crime to not see that shrine once before I die.
Agreed on Selig. I can't really think of a baseball Comissioner I liked besides Peter Euberroth, and even he wasn't perfect.
Which induction did you go to? Don't make me too jealous.
Hey, here's a true story you'll love: About 10+ years ago, a firm that was recruiting me took me a Padres game in their box seats, 2nd row, about 8 seats from right behind the plate. Close enough to hear into the dugout.
That section at Petco is called Stadium Club 44, for the proprietor of the club, Dave Winfield. Hall of Fame outfielder #1.
Frank Robinson was a coach or manager for one of the visiting team. Hall of Fame outfielder #2.
And Tony Gwynn, may he Rest In Peace, was on the field for some function as well. Hall of Fame outfielder #3.
We got to the game early to watch BP. When BP was over, the three of them huddled up about 8 feet from me and started talking baseball. It was a freakin pleasure and a memory that'll be with me forever.
Yep, and MLB wasn't even that bad comparatively. I'm just done with all of it.
It's given me more time to do things rather than watch other people, and it's given me more time with my wife, parents, and friends. It just wasn't improving my life at all, so in a lot of ways I'm grateful for the kick to realize that and adjust.
I went to maybe 12 Mets opening days in a row. I spent $800 to have a standing room ticket to the World Series. Same year I went to a Jets game on a bus trip and scooted over to the NLCS after the bus got back. It was about 12 degrees out. I loved those teams. Didn’t watch any after all this woke bullshit.
I was a fan of The Washington Football Team for 2 decades. What a fucking waste. Shit franchise and I'm glad Dan Snyder cucked like a bitch, because that name meant something to him.
“ Georgia passed strict new election laws. Some view the laws as designed specifically to disenfranchise voters of color with new requirements like including a photo ID when mailing in an absentee ballot as well as when requesting a ballot. It also cuts the time people have to request an absentee ballot.”
It’s apparently STRICT to require ID. Unreal. Fucking retards will then promote vaccine passports. Fucking retards promoting idea of moving an event which will be good for the local economy out of the city and it’s residents.
The left ruins EVERYTHING! I used to love sports with a passion. Played my whole life. Now i can help but cringe when my Father puts on a game. Empty stands with artificial cheers. They’re all not wearing their masks which is cool with me but the hypocrisy is just disgusting. When did alpha athletes turn into such pussies!? The past few years have made me change my whole way of life. And it’s still changing along with the people in my life.
And that's why I read old comics instead. So much awesome classic stuff I barely remember and tremendous cool stuff I missed over the pre-woke decades.
http://readallcomics.com/
So now they started watching sports more because of bLm?
“ 53 percent of Republicans said they watched sports less once social justice messaging became prominent. Only 19 percent of Democrats said the same; 14 percent of Democrats said they watched more.
More likely that they’re just virtue signalling with their answers. You and I will never truly understand the smug satisfaction one can get by lying to a stranger on the phone about how you’ve watched more sports because you think the pollster will be impressed with how woke you are.
I've seen enough of it first hand to know that this is exactly the kind of people the left are: people who never speak the truth about anything.
Half the time it's simply because they are so deluded about themselves that they believe what they are bragging about, even if they never watched a single game. Hell, they would latch onto the fact that they watched a youtube commenter talking about it as a reality that they themselves watched more sports.
This happened a lot in 2016-2017 when arguing with people about something Trump said. "Did you actual see him say that? Show me." Proceeds to send me a link with a youtube moron claiming that Trump said something, and an out of context soundbyte as "proof." Yet they would still 100% fully believe that they "watched the whole speech."
I think I understand what you mean only in a different circumstance. Like trying to explain the advantages and disadvantages of solar, and positives and negatives of Nuclear and the varieties that both or made up of.
MSRs for example are good high heat type Nuclear Fission Reactors, but most often people will either bash on it or bash Nuclear in general even after providing evidence from the investigators did the investigations into their claims(basically the meltdowns and Fukushima). Any little nit pick of saying its wrong, or it won't work without providing a detailed explanation on the reason why and solutions to it.
I come have come to discuss this type of stuff with only 3-5 people my entire time that actually knew what they were talking about, and did provide solutions or reasons for such that it would not work unless it is under so and so(conditions, politics, people, animals, power supply & demand, economics, etc).
Like talking to a wall that refuses to clean itself each time a new graphic is added via spray paint.
I do know when people do that, but I tend to focus on those that read the comment instead of commentor unless they were genuine which would be obvious after the third response if ti even gets that far:
Adiabactic engines solves that issue. Replace the ceramic with tungsten and titanium alloy of at least 10 milimeters would be able to change the breaking issue as well as using a cooling system to cool the fuel before going through the preheating processes would raise the efficiency and "CO2" problem(there is other gases more harmful, but the temperature the engine would be running at would solve most of that as well).
Nuclear power was first by the protestors, but the main people behind that is the government with some from the Fossil Fuel industry adding to it(which then started to fall off over the years, but there is still some though). I still stand by the MSRs(Specifically Thorium based, but Uranium based is, also, an option).
The MSRs are from the 1950's and 1960's, but the design is still better even from that far back. The versions we have now are only 10 years of research from the 2 main materials that were saved from being destroyed by the corrupt people in charge. The second reason is that MSRs are the closest form to get Nuclear Fusion ( http://large.stanford.edu/courses/2016/ph241/tew1/ ) while barely taking that much out of the economy with a lot of potential to add to the economy besides massive projects that require a lot of power(Mass drivers to send material to space so that rockets can focus more towards sending people to space until a large enough mass driver can be safely built).
My dad is convinced he saw Trump saying 'Soldiers are losers' on camera. The best he could come up with was him shit-talking McCain, but I had to point out that John McCain isn't the emperor of the military, and most people don't give a flying fuck about him.
Not only is that still a net loss that 14% probably don't buy jerseys or tickets etc so an extra net negative lol. Back when I used to go on reddit well over a year ago every thread talked about how they pirate everything and bragged about not paying for movies,tv, etc. They are pandering to people who don't buy their shit lol they can't even sellout right.
That’s why I never understood these companies participating in cancel culture. The black rifle coffee one really got to me. You think these pink haired faggots are buying your coffee???
Even better, there are other veterans with e-shops that sell their own branded coffee. They set up stands and V.A. events selling their stuff. My mother has a few different bags of the stuff.
It makes sense. Leftists are all about their shitty ideology, so if something tends to support that ideology then they will gravitate to it. I've definitely noticed more Democrats, especially Democrat women, talking about sports.
China is officially divesting from Hollywood. They brain raped Hollywood for decades and now with covid bullshit, they have formed their own studios in China and have no use for American made movies.
Are they? I would laugh my balls off if Hollywood lost 100% of Chinese revenue overnight and the Chinese just stole all the IP and made straight up Chinese knock offs of iconic American brands. Watching them grovel to the government for help would be immensely pleasurable.
Have you seen The Meg? The black character was regulated to a side role where he shucked and jived through the movie. The filmmaker basically made the character non heroic, vastly different than America cinema where every black character is the virtuous hero.
There is so much pre-Obama content that isn't virtue signalling. I say pre-Obama because that's really when we start seeing the SJW messaging ramp up, our history being re-written, historical TV/movies being edited to remove inconvenient scenes considered offensive. I've watched a lot of shows across the years. There's a huge increase in sjw in messaging starting around 2011. It's like someone flipped a switch. SJW messaging has been there to varying extents since the 60's. It's very subtle in the 60's mostly about women's rights, and black acceptance. The 70/80/90's it's more of the same plus the gay agenda increasing in messaging each of those 3 decades. 2000's the feminist, gay and race based agendas are much more pronounced. You get your uncomfortable injection of homosexual scene that serves no damned purpose for the story. As you know it gets worse from there. And here we are present year.
Regardless, there are many gems out there. For movies start in the 30's and work your way through to the early 2000's. So much content is free some sjw issues. In the 30's you can find titles that were pre-movie associate before ratings and let me tell you there are some wild, fun rides.
TV, start in the 50's. The Honeymooners is a real pleasure. Also treat yourself to a re-watch of Cheers and Night Court. Really, fun stuff, genuine comedy not this sjw bullshit.
You can access quite a few titles on DVD and bluray from your local library for free.
Unfortunately, many of those older titles are being shelved or edited for racism, homophobia, etc. So the titles you get access to through services like Netflix or Amazon Prime may not be their original theatrical release edits and neither will modern dvd/bluray release. Anything post-Obama is suspect for sjw edits.
I got into torrenting just so I could get access to old shows that are being censored. If I wanted, I could get every new movie for free, but why would I even want to watch them? It's not about the money, it's that they're not even worth my time.
All I watch now are 80s 90s movies. Even old serials like Outer Limits, Bonanza, Moonlighting etc amazing shows with incredible writing that all holds up the test of time. Honestly their is so much content from the 60-90s I could never watch any new movie/tv show ever again and be 100% content.
The problem lies all in how the show was filmed, and a major problem with a lot of 90s shows, is that none of it was shot on film (it was expensive and required large equipment lugged around everywhere), so with VHS emerging as an industry standard, and most people unaware of TVs being on the verge of entering HD capabilities, (mostly) everyone just recorded straight to VHS. For these shows, it's really not even possible to upconvert the quality and move it from 4:3 to 16:9, it can only be done with shows shot 100% on film (since they're far above even 4k and shot wide angle and cropped to 4:3 for our 90s viewing pleasure, so we can easily go back and pull their master films to edit to 16:9). This is why a ton of 80s and 90s shows are still 4:3, yet we're seeing movies as old as Lawrence of Arabia and Wizard of Oz getting 4K releases
When they converted Wizard of OZ to digital for Blu-ray they decided to save time & money and scanned it at 8k. So they wouldn't have to scan the original films again for many years.
Some 90s shows had quality PAL (704×576) editions so those were used to make the wide screen HD version and used for the blu-ray releases.
Impractical Jokers have toned it down but haven't sold out. But they are love/hate. They are also very hit and miss. They also just seem like generally good guys. I also bought the full Office series many years ago when I dropped Netflix. It holds up pretty damn well in the wokeness department although some things come up here and there.
Other than that, I got a big collection of Alfred Hitchcock movies on DVD. And the John Adams HBO miniseries is great. But currently reading some Azimov The Gods Themselves.
I've been buying everything physical now, especially older stuff. I recently found myself watching reruns of Beavis and Butthead on Pluto TV and realized how edited they were (from the "Mike Judge Collection"), and it made me pine for the original releases. I haven't seen them in so long — as in, the real unedited episodes with music videos — because they've all been edited to shit. I managed to find a fantastic bootleg (free to torrent, but I paid for a physical set anyway) that has EVERY episode, unedited, with the music videos, etc. My god, brought me right back to childhood, and that show is so much greater than anyone even remembers, because we can't even see the original damn show anymore. The music videos, imo, are the best part.
I'm watching Night Court reruns and informational programming; most recently regarding our currency. I want to understand why we're not in the middle of massive hyperinflation yet.
Same. 70's, 80's, and 90's content that I have on my own server. It's amazing what you can find at Goodwill on DVD sets for older TV shows. Entire series for a few bucks.
I STILL want to see the elevator pitch for Hogan's Heroes... Imagine the brass balls you needed to pitch a weekly show about Allied POWs in a Nazi prison camp only a few years after the end of the war.... and it's a comedy.
Ohh, thanks for the idea, hadn't even thought of Hogan's Heroes (wife and I have been going through all the old shows lately. Incredible how difficult it is to find All in the Family anywhere... anyway). M.A.S.H. is another one we want to start. Has always been my grandfather's favorite show and I've never even seen it, so I think that may be next up on the list. Also been rewatching all the old Stargate SG-1 episodes. Great show, and I've never been much into sci-fi like that (star trek, etc).
The reason we dont have inflation yet is because people do not think we have inflation. When that changes and people all at once begin to think that their 1$ will only be worth .50 cents in a year that is when everything that is not nailed down will get bought up and the inflation starts. Its a confidence game not just a numbers game.
Rampant degeneracy, hyper inflation, one group (whites) being the scapegoat for everything. Approaching 2030. Just seems like a cycle of history but I can't put my finger on it.
Yup, and it has started for anyone paying attention. Everyone been paying attention to their grocery shopping receipts? gas prices? bills in general? The dollar isn't worth what it was just 1 year ago, and it's going to get a lot worse.
Not to signal that this show was in the same class as Seinfeld and Cheers, but (because we've been watching recently) this just reminded me of the Friends episode when they're in London for one of Ross's like, 1000 weddings, and Joey is super homesick for America and keeps seeing the Cheers intro and just wants to be "back in good 'ol New York City.... where everyone knows my name [sigh]... and America's the best! [says something along those lines in his toast]" Oh! And then a few episodes later they excitedly name-drop seeing Donald Trump at the elevator in a hotel/casino in Atlantic City
I don't have the super classic collections of Looney Toons or vintage disney but I bought a lot of the 80s & 90s shows on DVD. Because I knew they were going to disappear. I need to finish those collections.
We need someone to set up a PeerTube instance on a TOR Node with all the vintage shows & anime.
I went from watching 100+ NBA and 25+ NFL games a year to watching literally zero sports. And I'm never going back. These people showed me how much they hate me, and now the feeling is mutual.
People on TD used to get so mad at me when I told them that watching illegal free streams was still cucking. They hate us. Why would you waste your time? Why would you set yourself up to discuss it in public and thus promote it? They want us dead.
These sports will lose long term on this, I'm not watching any of their shit anymore, active sports, like fishing, hunting, swimming, etc, are where people will be going forward, no need to follow their nonsense anymore.
Totally! This has been my argument with a lot of people. Me: "name the starting lineup for X Team"
Them: "[names them all and includes players that have been traded for a bonus]"
Me: "what are the first 10 Amendments of the Constitution?"
Them: "freedom of speech, bare arms is in there, nobody can live in my house but me...." totally mind blowing. If they only know that imagine how clueless they are about local politics....just recognize the guy at the game saying he is going to get more funding for the stadium or some such bullshit. I hate Chicago.
American sports are lame. Not violent enough. Too many rules. Too many violations of those rules that stop the action. Not enough blood or broken bones.
I stopped watching 20+ years ago when I was in high school.
Bring back sports with real men doing extraordinarily violent things to each other for the sake of the game and I will watch.
American sports are so over-commercialized it’s disgusting. I much prefer European sports even if they have jersey ads. American sports also piss all over every die hard fan they have for an extra buck.
The NFL product was going down the shitter even before the kneeling. Nonstop truck commercials. Just all the damn time. Commercials between plays. Commercials during timeouts.
And the selective rule changes. Touch Brady or Rodgers, 15 yards. Late hit a journeyman QB, nothing.
Most major sports at at least in some way rigged, as well. Too much money on the line.
It's really crazy to think how obsessed I used to watch all that garbage.
Sort of related: I wanted to make a science-fair as easy as possible but still get an A in middle school, so I decided to put the scientific method to work on the question of "how much football gameplay are you getting for your $300 ticket?" So I'd sit with a stopwatch, and literally time from snap to whistle for every play. Turns out the average was about 11 minutes of action. The rest is just clock-ticking, "like a rock" commercials, and Buck or Colinsworth telling us how "now here's a guy..." Teacher even kind of joked about how I barely did any work, but gave me an A because I still met all the requirements. All the male teachers loved it and were joking similarly about how creative my idea was for basically getting the assignment done in a way that allowed me to just watch football games
I've heard people talk about that but it's still kinda crazy. Sitting around the boob tube for 3 1/2 hours for 10-15 minutes of action. It's crazy. I used to do that all day, too.
The NBA is going to take the biggest hit. They really alienated a lot of fans and they just catered to China and the woke left. Those big salaries are going by the wayside and they have LeBron to thank for that.
They will likely doubledown and cater more to chinese fanbase now. I wouldn’t be surprised if team’s start moving operations to Beijing and Lebron has to learn Mandarin to get paid. Good riddance cucks.
logan34 --- The whole "brand" mentality bugs me because they are not representing the league or America but themselves. You see it everywhere, "platform/brand" mindset where America is last.
somehow the narrative changed that any professional athlete now has a 'platform' and they must use it to be an activist or be group-shamed or de-sponsored.
this activism everywhere must stop. everyone is a keyboard activist / social justice warrior and its not about any cause its just about jerking one's self off the dopamine hit that comes with.
I mean, they are. They have their people under their thumb extremely hard. We have a huge schism in thus country that is causing us to be uncompetitive with the authoritarian government in China and the unelected beaurocratic government in Brussels.
We gotta pump those numbers up and stick it so hard to the leagues that they will finally run out of excuses and admit they went broke because they went woke. Those are rookie numbers.
I am among this group. Which is unfortunate because I greatly appreciate the competitive nature of sports and enjoy seeing records broken, breathtaking plays being made, and analyzing statistics.
I don’t know if the leagues realize how badly they fucked themselves sideways. Those fanbases took generations to build and if you piss off even 10% of your fans enough that they’ll never come back and to the point where they cancel cable, you’re also probably losing their kids and grandkids as well.
I mostly stopped watching because they randomly cancel shit because of the flu. The center's girlfriend's sister's friend's dog coughed a week ago, let's cancel the game! So I can't go out and watch a game because it's cancelled, and if it's not cancelled the bar is swarming with cult members anyway. So fuck it. The constant anti-white propaganda didn't help either but it was mostly the cancellations TBH.
I loved watching the New Orleans Saints. Every game I could. Sunday’s at the superdome was always a trip.
Never again. Done with NFL and the Saints after Drew Brees becoming an apologist.
Oh you mean being labeled a racist and inferior isn’t a good thing to the people that pay for your product? Yea fuck them... I’ll go spend my $ and use my time on other things useful in my life and avoid the National Woke League
Used to watch a lot of NBA but turned it off completely. It doesn't require any effort either. Spend my time on work, family and getting our country back.
I was pissed of at the NHL for that, as well. But hockey is still an upper-middle class, white sport. There are more Trump supporters in the NHL than any other major sport.
And then there are those of us who didn't change any sports viewing habits because we gave that shit up years ago when the propaganda first became obvious.
I'm waiting for all the Transgender men to dominate the Woman's Olympics before I start watching any sports again. You better believe I'm going to watch the hell out of that. Not for the reason they want me too though. I just want to see what Megan Rapinoe has to say about her paycheck when she's on the bench (or doesn't make the team.).
more then sports...the fact that there is so much entertainment now on line means the moment I dont like what I am seeing as entertainment I turn it off. this means that if its lefist propaganda I find something else I do want to watch. this means shows dont get watched becouse I would rather watch the old black and white Maverick westerns then a show where they think making the person the right race or sexual orientation is creative.
Can confirm, pretty much all sports on tv are dead to me now. This coming from someone who loved all major sports and would waste countless hours watching them. Much more free time to do much more important things now.
I stopped years ago when I couldn't watch any sports news without having to hear about the magical gay basketball player who was going to come out.
I was among the people who made a bigger deal about this than it was. In hindsight, it is super weird that people were interested in who the guy has sex with.
.. and more exhilarating "rimshots" as well
SWISH!
Nothin' but ass!
And next year, he'll be a wide receiver!
I'm waiting for the sexual orientation of my truck's motor oil to be an important factor in my automotive decisions.
wait till they advertise dual purpose moter oil. lubricant for a truck and lubricant for a man.
Mack Oil - Keep on Truckin'
It ain’t tranny fluid no more you disgusting bigot - it’s gender neutral shift juice.
Frankly I don't care what position he's playing,
Don't care if it's pitcher, catcher, or point guard.
lulz: downvoting a homo for making a gay joke.
Note: Point Guard is the gayest position. Right after Center.
He's a Power Bottom!
I stopped watching monster truck rallys when Bigfoot came out as a GMC.
Same.. I mean I like to think I'm open minded about a lot of things but even I have standards. I mean, c'mon man.
Who would have guessed that he was a transfender
the driver was wearing fender skirts when he/she/it thought no one could see!
Since they only gave one gear anyway, Elon Musk should take the next step on his vehicles and make them tranny free.
I remember when the NFL had a trend of domestic assault arrests and they filmed commercials with the players informing us fans that domestic violence is wrong. Lol
Yeah. That’s almost like members of Congress lecturing the public on “systemic racism” and the rampant corruption in... Congress.
Like how Shits his pants Joe is the new breath of fresh air and change the US system needed 🤣 🤡 🌎
I am sure so many wife beaters saw those ads and immediately changed their ways. Thanks NFL.
Agreed. I stopped watching all NBA years ago. Every time I’m tempted to watch again they do stuff like they did last year.
Why would you want to watch Blacks run up and down a basketball court? Don't you have anything better to do with your time?
I don't care about the skin. It is the wokeness that killed it. The MJ era is wayyy gone and everyone loved him because he loved the game and never got involved in the political BS even tho people STILL gave him shit for NOT commenting. He became the most successful athlete after the sport and I wonder why many others don't look up to him as inspiration.
Race isn't the color of a person's skin. I mean, you know that, right? Why would you say that? Weird.
Um what? Black is the color of someone's skin. Go and reread what you typed.
They're brown.
Shalom my white brother
And the squeaking of shoes, constantly. Really I don't get it.
This. The reason I can’t stand to have basketball on tv is the constant squeaking. It crawls under the skin on the back of my head and chews on the top of my spine until I have the urge to rip the TV off the wall and throw it out of the window.
why would you watch whites run up and down a soccer field? dont you have anything better to do with your time?
Soccer is just gay anal with grass.
I'm White. But it's still a good question. I don't.
you’re white and?
Don't forget about the Michael Sam days from the NFL!
I knew it was over for Michael Sam right after he was drafted. At that moment, Michael Sam and his twinky boyfriend hugged, kissed and shoved cake into each other's face. It was cringeworthy. Honestly Mike, we knew that you're gay. But you didn't have to be that gay right after being drafted.
Oh God. I remember trying to explain to leftists that if he was good he would play and he’s not being discriminated against. Dude was undersized and had good players near him so he never got doubled and put up most stats against some shit tier right tackles. The NFL is a meritocracy and the GM and coach can tell three days into camp who is gonna cut it and who’s gonna be cut.
Yup.
It's the same with Colin Kaepernick.
It's the same with Tim Tebow.
Their skillset did not justify the media circus that followed them. So they didn't make the team.
Teams will tolerate a media circus for a good enough player. Ray Lewis and Ben Roflsburger (I don't know how to spell his last name) come to mind. Michael Vick went to prison for dogfighting and was brought back after he served his time.
If you're good enough, a team will make room for you.
If you aren't, you better keep your profile low in case someone needs a mid-season replacement.
That's exactly what it was. I remember thinking Tebow would be worth a shot as a backup QB but it wouldn't be worth the media circus. And that's amplified by damn Kaepernick.
But Trump was right. They should've publicly said they won't ever accept Kaepernick because he's a kneeling bitch. Then I might still be watching.
Tebow could have maybe been developed into a solid journeyman type QB, at least a backup, if he didn't go to the Jets where young QBs go to have their careers ruined (said as a lifelong suffering Jets fan).
I feel dumb saying this, but I watched almost every basketball and football games of my teams before.
But this last year I didn't watch any of it and I don't miss it.
Same with me and basketball. I just don’t care anymore. I’d rather spend the time with my family or working on the house or something useful.
They made sports not fun to watch. I can’t even believe it myself but I don’t miss it at all, it’s like it was never there.
I used to watch every F1 race, I'd drive 20 hours to catch one live... Now I don't even care to watch the highlights.
Sometimes I see a headline and I think "Oh yeah, I used to love that"
Did F1 racing sell out too?
Sold out hard. They're having discussions like "Should we require kneeling, or leave it up to the drivers?"
A few of the drivers aren't having any of that shit, but probably half are showing up in political shirts.
It's been infected. Looking like it may be terminal. Also the 1.6l V6s engines sound like a vacuum cleaner now. Sorry, fren.

Another one bites the dust.
This one doesn't affect me, as I've never been a motorsports guy, but I have friends who love that stuff.
Some ferret faced old feminist bitched about the paddock girls and that's all it took to have hundreds of them pinkslipped. What a cunt.
Probably. I don't really keep up with it, so it's possible they've went full-retard when it comes to wokeness. That being said, I remember headlines about them banning the track girls or whatever they're called because a bunch of feminists were angry that pretty girls were using their attractiveness to make good money.
Hamilton is Lebron levels of insufferable, if not more.
I used to like him, when he was a cocky nobody. Can't stand him now.
Echo this. Former sports fanatic my entire life. Now pretty much the only thing I watch is the PGA tour cuz it's the one thing I can enjoy without having to hear about going woke.
The Elites made sure to leave that one alone. Every other sport to them is low brow entertainment and can be used to divide and conquer the beer chugging masses.
I don't remember exactly but I think Augusta is cucking. Oh yeah, women's Masters for one.
We are about to find out how woke the PGA is.
https://www.dailywire.com/news/civil-rights-group-calls-for-pga-tour-to-pull-masters-in-protest-of-georgias-new-voting-law
Lol. That ain't happening. There's a price on everything and they won't remove the fucking Masters. That civil rights group must not know shit about golf to even consider that. There are probably way more attainable things both the PGA and Augusta would cuck to. Not complete removal from the PGA. Just won't happen. You'd have better luck giving all minorities one mulligan per side.
Are you sure? They just renamed the gimme to gibs me dat.
Basketball has been the absolute worse. I don't follow basketball or the NBA in general, but seeing the shit they are doing now it is absolutely ridiculous. If I were a fan, I would absolutely be embarrassed to call myself one. It's not even about the sport anymore, it's about scoring the most woke points all while they get their money from China.
I can't think of anything more ironic than a player base made up of 80% black men who make MILLIONS bitching and moaning about racism in this country. These guys have more pull and money to make the communities they grew up in better, but instead they move away and then say black people are oppressed. I believe the local governments are at fault for their communities becoming shitholes, and I believe it should be up to them to fix it, but if these millionaires are crying about it, they should put their money where their mouths are or shut the fuck up.
These professional athletes are some of the most privileged people in the country, they get paid to play a sport. They get a free ride to college and put in 25% of the work needed to graduate as long as they play well. Then they get drafted and receive million dollar signing bonuses. Then they cry oppression. Makes me laugh. These professional leagues have become a clown show.
LBJ and successive national legislation plays a role as well.
LeBron James at least did put some money back in his hometown. Pretty sure nearly nobody else does.
I can't imagine it had any effect.
The problems in the black community are deeper than money.
He built a school or something.
The whole building was probably already stolen by now.
At the “Lebron James Center For Black Children Who Can’t Read Good And Who Want To Learn To Do Other Stuff Good Too” we teach children that there is nothing more important than the ability to dribble a basketball and wearing shoes that worship the devil.
Lebron didn’t fund as much as was reported there.
https://www.westernjournal.com/lebron-james-highly-touted-school-will-actually-cost-taxpayers-a-lot-of-money/
Throwing money at a problem is the bonehead, Democratic way of solving problems. The RINOS, too.
I went from being in the top 1% of sports watchers my whole life to the bottom 1% this year.
Amazingly, I don't miss it at all.
And I just watched Bongino pushing that people boycott MLB because they are threatening to move the All Star game out of Atlanta because of the new voting laws.
MLB is BLM spelled backwards.
Exact same here. I followed my local NBA team incredibly closely, and watch 3-4 NFL games every weekend. After a year+ of my local drive time sport personality daring me to turn his show off, I eventually did and all other sports at the same time.
I don't miss it at all. I loved seeing the NFL salary cap take a dump a few weeks back, and am waiting for the NBA to do the same. The politics will quickly go away once that happens, but I'll still remember. They've lost a previously diehard for life.
Yup, those guaranteed contracts and fixed stadium leases (where the taxpayers aren't on the hook) are going to cause some serious red ink.
Add in lower viewership resulting in lower ad revenues, and we've got the makings of a bloodbath.
I'm the biggest Padres fan on the planet, and they're about to be really freakin good, and I'll not watch a single pitch.
You poor bastard. Suffered for so long and this was your year.
The baseball Gods mock me.
Ready for this?
My two childhood heroes were Pete Rose and Roger Clemens. 2 legends who may never see the HoF. I wouldn't even go on a free trip to Cooperstown a number of years back because they won't let Pete in.
Bud Selig is human garbage. Pete Rose not in the hall is a travesty. I’m fortunate to only be a few hours from Cooperstown. Been a few times, once in induction day decades ago.
I love baseball history. It's probably the subject I know more about that any other. I don't need to go to the HoF to love the game, but it would be a crime to not see that shrine once before I die.
Agreed on Selig. I can't really think of a baseball Comissioner I liked besides Peter Euberroth, and even he wasn't perfect.
Which induction did you go to? Don't make me too jealous.
Hey, here's a true story you'll love: About 10+ years ago, a firm that was recruiting me took me a Padres game in their box seats, 2nd row, about 8 seats from right behind the plate. Close enough to hear into the dugout.
That section at Petco is called Stadium Club 44, for the proprietor of the club, Dave Winfield. Hall of Fame outfielder #1.
Frank Robinson was a coach or manager for one of the visiting team. Hall of Fame outfielder #2.
And Tony Gwynn, may he Rest In Peace, was on the field for some function as well. Hall of Fame outfielder #3.
We got to the game early to watch BP. When BP was over, the three of them huddled up about 8 feet from me and started talking baseball. It was a freakin pleasure and a memory that'll be with me forever.
Yep, and MLB wasn't even that bad comparatively. I'm just done with all of it.
It's given me more time to do things rather than watch other people, and it's given me more time with my wife, parents, and friends. It just wasn't improving my life at all, so in a lot of ways I'm grateful for the kick to realize that and adjust.
Same. My quality of life would be vastly improved if I didn't have to spend so much time trying to help rid our country of pests.
I went to maybe 12 Mets opening days in a row. I spent $800 to have a standing room ticket to the World Series. Same year I went to a Jets game on a bus trip and scooted over to the NLCS after the bus got back. It was about 12 degrees out. I loved those teams. Didn’t watch any after all this woke bullshit.
Jets and mets that's how I know you were a diehard lol
I was a fan of The Washington Football Team for 2 decades. What a fucking waste. Shit franchise and I'm glad Dan Snyder cucked like a bitch, because that name meant something to him.
how can you be a fan of a team that only been around for a year ?
I used that name tongue in cheek.
Was a die hard flyers eagles and phillies fan went to alot of games and watched almost every game don't do that shit anymore fuck em.
It builds character
Imagine being so woke, thinking minorities don't know how to get ID isn't racist.
They're losing this argument. The sheep aren't buying this one.
They hammered this point home all day on Conservative channels.
You need an ID to buy medicine, Beer, and Cigarettes. The minute that is pointed out it blows up all other arguments.
Yup, and the 100's of videos of black people laughing about them not understanding the internet is telling.
Didn't we just see that something like 70% of blacks polled favored voter ID?
It really does show that these Black Supremacists are not the majority, just really loud and being given an oversized voice.
Just read this, Jesus Christ.
“ Georgia passed strict new election laws. Some view the laws as designed specifically to disenfranchise voters of color with new requirements like including a photo ID when mailing in an absentee ballot as well as when requesting a ballot. It also cuts the time people have to request an absentee ballot.”
It’s apparently STRICT to require ID. Unreal. Fucking retards will then promote vaccine passports. Fucking retards promoting idea of moving an event which will be good for the local economy out of the city and it’s residents.
The hypocrisy just gives us another red-pilling weapon.
Have you seen the videos of black people laughing about being told they're too dumb to get an ID or use the internet?
THIS and retrogaming. There are so many good overlooked games from all the previous non-woke decades.
It’s quite astonishing how stupid sports are once you get yourself out of the bubble of watching it. Complete waste of time w zero meaning.
The left ruins EVERYTHING! I used to love sports with a passion. Played my whole life. Now i can help but cringe when my Father puts on a game. Empty stands with artificial cheers. They’re all not wearing their masks which is cool with me but the hypocrisy is just disgusting. When did alpha athletes turn into such pussies!? The past few years have made me change my whole way of life. And it’s still changing along with the people in my life.
That’s what communists do. They have ruined the following:
Sports
Dating
Comedy
Movies
Free trade
The English language
Academia
They ruined statues also.
Video Games and comics as well.
And that's why I read old comics instead. So much awesome classic stuff I barely remember and tremendous cool stuff I missed over the pre-woke decades. http://readallcomics.com/
Calvin and Hobbes rocks.
http://readallcomics.com/category/calvin-and-hobbes/
Just dont tell the tradcons. They want those banned as well.
Don't lump us all into that mix.
Just properly rate the materials so adult graphic novels are not sold to children. Same goes for video games.
they think anything with sexy women = porn
Look at the troll posts they make on here.
Japanese and Eastern European games are the most solid choices these days.

They're all running around huffing and puffing standing right on top of eachother and we're supposed to stand six feet apart. It's so retarded.
Apparently NCAA players can bump bodies all game long, but can't shake hands at the end of games. Peak clown world.
Constant reminders that this plandemic is pure hysteria and not at all factual. It's very Salem witch trials esque.
Haha, I know you're not even making it up.
But I regret to inform you that peak Clown World is unachievable. There is no peak.
So now they started watching sports more because of bLm?
“ 53 percent of Republicans said they watched sports less once social justice messaging became prominent. Only 19 percent of Democrats said the same; 14 percent of Democrats said they watched more.
More likely that they’re just virtue signalling with their answers. You and I will never truly understand the smug satisfaction one can get by lying to a stranger on the phone about how you’ve watched more sports because you think the pollster will be impressed with how woke you are.
This is so true 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Well if you think about it most of their lives revolve around the internet and social media. So you might not be too far off from reality.
I've seen enough of it first hand to know that this is exactly the kind of people the left are: people who never speak the truth about anything.
Half the time it's simply because they are so deluded about themselves that they believe what they are bragging about, even if they never watched a single game. Hell, they would latch onto the fact that they watched a youtube commenter talking about it as a reality that they themselves watched more sports.
This happened a lot in 2016-2017 when arguing with people about something Trump said. "Did you actual see him say that? Show me." Proceeds to send me a link with a youtube moron claiming that Trump said something, and an out of context soundbyte as "proof." Yet they would still 100% fully believe that they "watched the whole speech."
I think I understand what you mean only in a different circumstance. Like trying to explain the advantages and disadvantages of solar, and positives and negatives of Nuclear and the varieties that both or made up of.
MSRs for example are good high heat type Nuclear Fission Reactors, but most often people will either bash on it or bash Nuclear in general even after providing evidence from the investigators did the investigations into their claims(basically the meltdowns and Fukushima). Any little nit pick of saying its wrong, or it won't work without providing a detailed explanation on the reason why and solutions to it.
I come have come to discuss this type of stuff with only 3-5 people my entire time that actually knew what they were talking about, and did provide solutions or reasons for such that it would not work unless it is under so and so(conditions, politics, people, animals, power supply & demand, economics, etc).
Like talking to a wall that refuses to clean itself each time a new graphic is added via spray paint.
homie what
Basically, a person that likes to paint themselves and not wash it off for weeks if not months.
whats that gotta do with nukes brah
You have to learn to cut through people's bullshit.
"Should we get rid of emission standard because old cars don't meet them?"
"Then why are you bringing up Nuclear power plants designed in the 50s?" We've made some improvements since then.
My personal favorite,
"If it wasn't for anti-nuclear power protesters we could have built our national power grid based on Nuclear power instead of coal.
That almost seven decades worth of clean burning Nuclear power instead of coal power plants.
I do know when people do that, but I tend to focus on those that read the comment instead of commentor unless they were genuine which would be obvious after the third response if ti even gets that far:
Adiabactic engines solves that issue. Replace the ceramic with tungsten and titanium alloy of at least 10 milimeters would be able to change the breaking issue as well as using a cooling system to cool the fuel before going through the preheating processes would raise the efficiency and "CO2" problem(there is other gases more harmful, but the temperature the engine would be running at would solve most of that as well).
Nuclear power was first by the protestors, but the main people behind that is the government with some from the Fossil Fuel industry adding to it(which then started to fall off over the years, but there is still some though). I still stand by the MSRs(Specifically Thorium based, but Uranium based is, also, an option).
The MSRs are from the 1950's and 1960's, but the design is still better even from that far back. The versions we have now are only 10 years of research from the 2 main materials that were saved from being destroyed by the corrupt people in charge. The second reason is that MSRs are the closest form to get Nuclear Fusion ( http://large.stanford.edu/courses/2016/ph241/tew1/ ) while barely taking that much out of the economy with a lot of potential to add to the economy besides massive projects that require a lot of power(Mass drivers to send material to space so that rockets can focus more towards sending people to space until a large enough mass driver can be safely built).
Bill Gates is a piece of shit, but the Nuclear power company he's involved with has some good tech.

My dad is convinced he saw Trump saying 'Soldiers are losers' on camera. The best he could come up with was him shit-talking McCain, but I had to point out that John McCain isn't the emperor of the military, and most people don't give a flying fuck about him.
They see what they want to see.
Not only is that still a net loss that 14% probably don't buy jerseys or tickets etc so an extra net negative lol. Back when I used to go on reddit well over a year ago every thread talked about how they pirate everything and bragged about not paying for movies,tv, etc. They are pandering to people who don't buy their shit lol they can't even sellout right.
That’s why I never understood these companies participating in cancel culture. The black rifle coffee one really got to me. You think these pink haired faggots are buying your coffee???
Even better, there are other veterans with e-shops that sell their own branded coffee. They set up stands and V.A. events selling their stuff. My mother has a few different bags of the stuff.
Or I can go to Sam's Club and get a killer deal on premium Colombian coffee.
They are the party of lies afterall.
As if gets called for polls......
Now the WNBA will have SEVERAL viewers.
Layup Lesbians
Maybe when they get more trannies who can dunk, it will actually be watchable.
You don’t like watching them shoot a jumper, like they’re shot-putting a bowling ball?
On the plus side, I am 100% in favor of men making women’s sports watchable.
Must be thirsting for that lady penis
They liked to stare at the players weenies
Or the lesbians
Or the trannies
It makes sense. Leftists are all about their shitty ideology, so if something tends to support that ideology then they will gravitate to it. I've definitely noticed more Democrats, especially Democrat women, talking about sports.
Eh, yes and no. They will give sports more mindshare in discussions, but radical leftists aren't going to watch four hour games or buy $200 jerseys.
Same may be true with Music, and Movies.
Movies are absolutely ruined by the bullshit they put in them, and most are produced and funded by Chinese companies.
China is officially divesting from Hollywood. They brain raped Hollywood for decades and now with covid bullshit, they have formed their own studios in China and have no use for American made movies.
HollowWood did this to themselves.
Are they? I would laugh my balls off if Hollywood lost 100% of Chinese revenue overnight and the Chinese just stole all the IP and made straight up Chinese knock offs of iconic American brands. Watching them grovel to the government for help would be immensely pleasurable.
Fucking good. As soon as they started caring about that evil regime’s politics to make a quick buck over their own people’s entertainment
Chinese movies are better than hollywoods at this point. Homosexuality is illegal. Women are women. Respects Chinese culture.
Have you seen The Meg? The black character was regulated to a side role where he shucked and jived through the movie. The filmmaker basically made the character non heroic, vastly different than America cinema where every black character is the virtuous hero.
Never saw it after watching Crysten Stewart look lile a dyke in the trailer I couldn't he bothered to watch the film.
I hope you didnt pay to see that
There is so much pre-Obama content that isn't virtue signalling. I say pre-Obama because that's really when we start seeing the SJW messaging ramp up, our history being re-written, historical TV/movies being edited to remove inconvenient scenes considered offensive. I've watched a lot of shows across the years. There's a huge increase in sjw in messaging starting around 2011. It's like someone flipped a switch. SJW messaging has been there to varying extents since the 60's. It's very subtle in the 60's mostly about women's rights, and black acceptance. The 70/80/90's it's more of the same plus the gay agenda increasing in messaging each of those 3 decades. 2000's the feminist, gay and race based agendas are much more pronounced. You get your uncomfortable injection of homosexual scene that serves no damned purpose for the story. As you know it gets worse from there. And here we are present year.
Regardless, there are many gems out there. For movies start in the 30's and work your way through to the early 2000's. So much content is free some sjw issues. In the 30's you can find titles that were pre-movie associate before ratings and let me tell you there are some wild, fun rides.
TV, start in the 50's. The Honeymooners is a real pleasure. Also treat yourself to a re-watch of Cheers and Night Court. Really, fun stuff, genuine comedy not this sjw bullshit.
You can access quite a few titles on DVD and bluray from your local library for free.
Unfortunately, many of those older titles are being shelved or edited for racism, homophobia, etc. So the titles you get access to through services like Netflix or Amazon Prime may not be their original theatrical release edits and neither will modern dvd/bluray release. Anything post-Obama is suspect for sjw edits.
which is why I say SAVE original dvds.....the originals haven't been "fixed"....
If you have DVD's consider creating digital backups.
Movies for sure. They really shot themselves in the foot with the overbearing covid regulations wrecking their primary revenue stream.
They may come back, but it's yet another thing that I used to enjoy that's been ruined by politics.
I got into torrenting just so I could get access to old shows that are being censored. If I wanted, I could get every new movie for free, but why would I even want to watch them? It's not about the money, it's that they're not even worth my time.
No way for music. "Stand and Deliver" by Clapton and Van Morrison is a must listen for everyone right now.
I mostly watch cartoons now. Or old movies. The entertainment world is soaked in woke.
All I watch now are 80s 90s movies. Even old serials like Outer Limits, Bonanza, Moonlighting etc amazing shows with incredible writing that all holds up the test of time. Honestly their is so much content from the 60-90s I could never watch any new movie/tv show ever again and be 100% content.
More 90's shows should get the Seinfeld treatment. I like that they cropped the reruns to fit a 16x9 screen.
Im not even bothered by old standard def quality there’s a charm to it. I appreciate the story and characters more before woke hollywood took over.
The problem lies all in how the show was filmed, and a major problem with a lot of 90s shows, is that none of it was shot on film (it was expensive and required large equipment lugged around everywhere), so with VHS emerging as an industry standard, and most people unaware of TVs being on the verge of entering HD capabilities, (mostly) everyone just recorded straight to VHS. For these shows, it's really not even possible to upconvert the quality and move it from 4:3 to 16:9, it can only be done with shows shot 100% on film (since they're far above even 4k and shot wide angle and cropped to 4:3 for our 90s viewing pleasure, so we can easily go back and pull their master films to edit to 16:9). This is why a ton of 80s and 90s shows are still 4:3, yet we're seeing movies as old as Lawrence of Arabia and Wizard of Oz getting 4K releases
When they converted Wizard of OZ to digital for Blu-ray they decided to save time & money and scanned it at 8k. So they wouldn't have to scan the original films again for many years.
Some 90s shows had quality PAL (704×576) editions so those were used to make the wide screen HD version and used for the blu-ray releases.
Impractical Jokers have toned it down but haven't sold out. But they are love/hate. They are also very hit and miss. They also just seem like generally good guys. I also bought the full Office series many years ago when I dropped Netflix. It holds up pretty damn well in the wokeness department although some things come up here and there.
Other than that, I got a big collection of Alfred Hitchcock movies on DVD. And the John Adams HBO miniseries is great. But currently reading some Azimov The Gods Themselves.
I've been buying everything physical now, especially older stuff. I recently found myself watching reruns of Beavis and Butthead on Pluto TV and realized how edited they were (from the "Mike Judge Collection"), and it made me pine for the original releases. I haven't seen them in so long — as in, the real unedited episodes with music videos — because they've all been edited to shit. I managed to find a fantastic bootleg (free to torrent, but I paid for a physical set anyway) that has EVERY episode, unedited, with the music videos, etc. My god, brought me right back to childhood, and that show is so much greater than anyone even remembers, because we can't even see the original damn show anymore. The music videos, imo, are the best part.
I'm watching Night Court reruns and informational programming; most recently regarding our currency. I want to understand why we're not in the middle of massive hyperinflation yet.
I'm such a party animal.
Lol literally just watched some Night Court myself. 80-90's tv & movies is pretty much all I do anymore.
Same. 70's, 80's, and 90's content that I have on my own server. It's amazing what you can find at Goodwill on DVD sets for older TV shows. Entire series for a few bucks.
I've been watching night court too. Another new favorite of mine is Hogans Heros, you cant beat a German pow camp for good entertainment.
I STILL want to see the elevator pitch for Hogan's Heroes... Imagine the brass balls you needed to pitch a weekly show about Allied POWs in a Nazi prison camp only a few years after the end of the war.... and it's a comedy.
Ohh, thanks for the idea, hadn't even thought of Hogan's Heroes (wife and I have been going through all the old shows lately. Incredible how difficult it is to find All in the Family anywhere... anyway). M.A.S.H. is another one we want to start. Has always been my grandfather's favorite show and I've never even seen it, so I think that may be next up on the list. Also been rewatching all the old Stargate SG-1 episodes. Great show, and I've never been much into sci-fi like that (star trek, etc).
The reason we dont have inflation yet is because people do not think we have inflation. When that changes and people all at once begin to think that their 1$ will only be worth .50 cents in a year that is when everything that is not nailed down will get bought up and the inflation starts. Its a confidence game not just a numbers game.
$4/gallon gas is coming by summer.
Already over 4 in some states!
America has been a house of cards for a long, long time. Can't last forever, won't be pretty.
Fucked up part is, its not just America. Many Europeans do not realize their countries' coffers were raided as well.
So when we crash we're going to take everyone else with us.
Rampant degeneracy, hyper inflation, one group (whites) being the scapegoat for everything. Approaching 2030. Just seems like a cycle of history but I can't put my finger on it.
Yup, and it has started for anyone paying attention. Everyone been paying attention to their grocery shopping receipts? gas prices? bills in general? The dollar isn't worth what it was just 1 year ago, and it's going to get a lot worse.
Great show.
Seinfeld holds up pretty well, but wow does it seem like a different world. The 2000s have been pretty harsh.
Same with Cheers; don’t mean sound like an old man. But those were the good ol’ days
Not to signal that this show was in the same class as Seinfeld and Cheers, but (because we've been watching recently) this just reminded me of the Friends episode when they're in London for one of Ross's like, 1000 weddings, and Joey is super homesick for America and keeps seeing the Cheers intro and just wants to be "back in good 'ol New York City.... where everyone knows my name [sigh]... and America's the best! [says something along those lines in his toast]" Oh! And then a few episodes later they excitedly name-drop seeing Donald Trump at the elevator in a hotel/casino in Atlantic City
Same with Friends.
How about old cartoons? Been showing my kids old Looney Tunes. They LOVE IT. It's been wonderful.
I want to meme Foghorn Leghorn as a White Supremacists Icon. Looney Toons are the best.
I don't have the super classic collections of Looney Toons or vintage disney but I bought a lot of the 80s & 90s shows on DVD. Because I knew they were going to disappear. I need to finish those collections.
We need someone to set up a PeerTube instance on a TOR Node with all the vintage shows & anime.
HASSAN-CHOP!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siqPMOYh7DA
A lot of good foreign TV-series like Skyrojo, Better than us, To the lake, Babylon Berlin, Giri/Haji.
I did, no more NBA basketball for me ever.
Remember how the Astros cheated and still got to keep their World Series title?
Stop me if you've heard that before.
I went from watching 100+ NBA and 25+ NFL games a year to watching literally zero sports. And I'm never going back. These people showed me how much they hate me, and now the feeling is mutual.
Yep, they hate you and me.
People on TD used to get so mad at me when I told them that watching illegal free streams was still cucking. They hate us. Why would you waste your time? Why would you set yourself up to discuss it in public and thus promote it? They want us dead.
These sports will lose long term on this, I'm not watching any of their shit anymore, active sports, like fishing, hunting, swimming, etc, are where people will be going forward, no need to follow their nonsense anymore.
I have been done for a while now. No gear for presents anymore. They also lost the kids that I used to promote their bullshit to
Alex Jones said that following professional sports was a replacement for America's Constitutional Duties.
Boy was he right,
and Americans never caught on .
Totally! This has been my argument with a lot of people. Me: "name the starting lineup for X Team" Them: "[names them all and includes players that have been traded for a bonus]" Me: "what are the first 10 Amendments of the Constitution?" Them: "freedom of speech, bare arms is in there, nobody can live in my house but me...." totally mind blowing. If they only know that imagine how clueless they are about local politics....just recognize the guy at the game saying he is going to get more funding for the stadium or some such bullshit. I hate Chicago.
Fuck Sportsball
I'd say yeah
American sports are lame. Not violent enough. Too many rules. Too many violations of those rules that stop the action. Not enough blood or broken bones.
I stopped watching 20+ years ago when I was in high school.
Bring back sports with real men doing extraordinarily violent things to each other for the sake of the game and I will watch.
American sports are so over-commercialized it’s disgusting. I much prefer European sports even if they have jersey ads. American sports also piss all over every die hard fan they have for an extra buck.
The NFL product was going down the shitter even before the kneeling. Nonstop truck commercials. Just all the damn time. Commercials between plays. Commercials during timeouts.
And the selective rule changes. Touch Brady or Rodgers, 15 yards. Late hit a journeyman QB, nothing.
Most major sports at at least in some way rigged, as well. Too much money on the line.
It's really crazy to think how obsessed I used to watch all that garbage.
Sort of related: I wanted to make a science-fair as easy as possible but still get an A in middle school, so I decided to put the scientific method to work on the question of "how much football gameplay are you getting for your $300 ticket?" So I'd sit with a stopwatch, and literally time from snap to whistle for every play. Turns out the average was about 11 minutes of action. The rest is just clock-ticking, "like a rock" commercials, and Buck or Colinsworth telling us how "now here's a guy..." Teacher even kind of joked about how I barely did any work, but gave me an A because I still met all the requirements. All the male teachers loved it and were joking similarly about how creative my idea was for basically getting the assignment done in a way that allowed me to just watch football games
I've heard people talk about that but it's still kinda crazy. Sitting around the boob tube for 3 1/2 hours for 10-15 minutes of action. It's crazy. I used to do that all day, too.
UFC is the only sport I watch
Hockey is the only acceptable sport left.
Fuck the NFL, NBA, and MLB.
It's all rigged anyway.
And NHL
I'm not Canadian.
Only watch UFC
At this point I'm down to some Hockey and MLB and mostly individual sports such as strongman, powerlifitng, shooting, MMA, boxing, etc.
NFL, NBA, almost all NCAA team sports are absolutely unwatchable
Still too much fren.
The NBA is going to take the biggest hit. They really alienated a lot of fans and they just catered to China and the woke left. Those big salaries are going by the wayside and they have LeBron to thank for that.
They will likely doubledown and cater more to chinese fanbase now. I wouldn’t be surprised if team’s start moving operations to Beijing and Lebron has to learn Mandarin to get paid. Good riddance cucks.
logan34 --- The whole "brand" mentality bugs me because they are not representing the league or America but themselves. You see it everywhere, "platform/brand" mindset where America is last.

Don't even know who played.
somehow the narrative changed that any professional athlete now has a 'platform' and they must use it to be an activist or be group-shamed or de-sponsored.
this activism everywhere must stop. everyone is a keyboard activist / social justice warrior and its not about any cause its just about jerking one's self off the dopamine hit that comes with.

We made fun of Europe for being such cucks but these days Europe is starting to look a little for chad than America (in comparison, not in reality)
I mean, they are. They have their people under their thumb extremely hard. We have a huge schism in thus country that is causing us to be uncompetitive with the authoritarian government in China and the unelected beaurocratic government in Brussels.
We gotta pump those numbers up and stick it so hard to the leagues that they will finally run out of excuses and admit they went broke because they went woke. Those are rookie numbers.
I am among this group. Which is unfortunate because I greatly appreciate the competitive nature of sports and enjoy seeing records broken, breathtaking plays being made, and analyzing statistics.
Ufc all the way
UFC has been gaining viewership. Going to start events in front of full crowds next month baby.
I used to turn to sports to get a relief from politics. I can't believe how quickly those institutions were destroyed.
I don’t know if the leagues realize how badly they fucked themselves sideways. Those fanbases took generations to build and if you piss off even 10% of your fans enough that they’ll never come back and to the point where they cancel cable, you’re also probably losing their kids and grandkids as well.
I mostly stopped watching because they randomly cancel shit because of the flu. The center's girlfriend's sister's friend's dog coughed a week ago, let's cancel the game! So I can't go out and watch a game because it's cancelled, and if it's not cancelled the bar is swarming with cult members anyway. So fuck it. The constant anti-white propaganda didn't help either but it was mostly the cancellations TBH.
I loved watching the New Orleans Saints. Every game I could. Sunday’s at the superdome was always a trip. Never again. Done with NFL and the Saints after Drew Brees becoming an apologist.
Brees got held hostage and cucked LOL. You just gotta laugh, man. My former team is now nicknamed "The Football Team". Just honk, lol.
Oh you mean being labeled a racist and inferior isn’t a good thing to the people that pay for your product? Yea fuck them... I’ll go spend my $ and use my time on other things useful in my life and avoid the National Woke League
Fuck these elitist crybabies. They get paid millions of dollars to play a fucking game, yet, they want us to believe they're oppressed.
Used to watch a lot of NBA but turned it off completely. It doesn't require any effort either. Spend my time on work, family and getting our country back.
I was pissed of at the NHL for that, as well. But hockey is still an upper-middle class, white sport. There are more Trump supporters in the NHL than any other major sport.
I do watch more UFC. (only possible because they basically have an event every week now)
I still don't watch women's soccor.
Did anyone ever?
Has it been turned into men’s soccer 2.0 yet?
Huge sports fan my entire life. Have not watched a single play since Fentanyl Floyd died.
Fuck them all. Over paid smooth brained babies. Shut up and dribble
I have narrowed my professional sports consumption exclusively to UFC and 410 sprints. Never been happier.
Same. MMA is the only sport not infected with liberalism.
I’ll just say this.
I lived and died with a certain college basketball team that you’ve all heard of before.
I’m an alumni of the school and a die hard fan.
Within one calendar year, I can’t even name a single player on the team.
Shit you not.
Ain't watching the Sweet 16 or the Big or or the Final 4 or ANY basketball ... why?
Cause it got toooo many dem Basketball Scholars playing n' sheeet!
Basketball Americans
Wrote off sports, movies and pretty much all TV shows. I have plenty of pre-woke things to catch-up with and/or revisit. Also, actual hobbies.
Prior huge NBA and NFL fan. Now? Couldn't care less.
literally haven't watched a game the past 3 seasons. any league. fuck em
AMA Superbike and MotoGP have steered clear of woke bullshit. Just saying.
The NBA holds no interest for me anymore.
I haven't changed because I don't find watching sports interesting so I never watched sports to begin with
And then there are those of us who didn't change any sports viewing habits because we gave that shit up years ago when the propaganda first became obvious.
I'm waiting for all the Transgender men to dominate the Woman's Olympics before I start watching any sports again. You better believe I'm going to watch the hell out of that. Not for the reason they want me too though. I just want to see what Megan Rapinoe has to say about her paycheck when she's on the bench (or doesn't make the team.).
more then sports...the fact that there is so much entertainment now on line means the moment I dont like what I am seeing as entertainment I turn it off. this means that if its lefist propaganda I find something else I do want to watch. this means shows dont get watched becouse I would rather watch the old black and white Maverick westerns then a show where they think making the person the right race or sexual orientation is creative.
I'm one of those numbers.
Can confirm, pretty much all sports on tv are dead to me now. This coming from someone who loved all major sports and would waste countless hours watching them. Much more free time to do much more important things now.
Not much sports for me now for a while. I've got a very productive garden going now.
Now NEVER allow any tax payer funding or bonds to be issued to provide these people a place to "play".
I watched the super bowl. Only sports I had watched in 2 years. Only yo sed Brady and Gronk destroy the boy wonder. It was glorious
