FR Sorry about your loss Michael. This should impel you to get the government to stop making enemies. If not for us, those people would not even know what a fucking airplane is. \ So you had your day of drinking at home or not drinking and did not support the local bar, which allows them to pay the cable bill which supports the NFL which supports Kaepernik. Good. While that fucker was completely in his rights, first of all he is fucking stupid because he probably just flushed his career down the toilet. Second of all, US intellectual property rights are a big part of what makes it possible for an asshole like that to make so much money. I won't stand for the anthem, nor will I recite the pledge of allegience, but I also do not take from them. At least not much. Not millions. If the enforcement of law made me millions of dollars I would shout the pledge and stand every time the President came on fucking TV. But they won't give it to me because I can't play a stupid game. I owe them nothing. I am loyal to the country, but not the government. And I am sick of people bitching about the salaries of CEOs who risked their entire future to start a business, worked 14 hours a day and lived on Ramen noodles for ten years to build it to the point where they are getting their payback finally, while not saying a word about the money they gave that ungrateful piece of shit, or any other sports players whose only hope in life when they can't play anymore is to open up a car dealership. And they say nothing about politicians either. Well they do around election time like now but when the dust settles, if Clinton loses she will still collect millions every time she steps up to a podium and coughs.. This is how they bribe Presidents because it would just be too blatant to pay them off while in office. Nobody said a goddamn word about those speaking fees until around election time. Meantime, the people who actually do useful work are getting fucked in the ass like never before. Paid less and less and less while the entitled are paid more and more and more. And I don't begrudge the ones who earned it, but so many simply inherited the money and maybe the company as well. I got sick of professional sports many years ago and can't even tell you which teams are which, nor did I ever hear of this ungrateful duck until this incident. Same way with movie stars and musicians. Actually they are starting to make less money because of the digital age and internet downloading. You know where those movies on piratebay come from ? There is only one way those people can get a movie when it is still in theaters and maybe even before. Someone who works there. From what I have gathered from a few people I have known, only a few people, and the big stars of course, make any big money. The people who maintain those $10 million pieces of equipment they need get paid shit wages. And actually most business in this country is getting that way. The reason is supply and demand. Too many people for the jobs available, of course that depresses labor prices. I got a skill, so I can make demands, if not for that who knows. But these athletes who know nothing, fukum. I wouldn't take tickets to a game for free. In fact even if they paid me. What's more, the price gouging. When I was young you could go to a baseball game on less than ten bucks. Now parking costs that. One beer costs that. Tickets ? they had to make special laws against "scalping" because the prices got so high. And the people eat it up. Thousands of dollars for certain ticket, and more for playoff games. And the superbowl ? Same with concerts. For twenty bucks you could get a ticket and enough beer and drugs of your choice. Now, how much does it cost to go to a Barbara Streisand concert ? We live in a society where you get paid more to play than to work. While I don't deny alot of those people are quite talented, it is getting out of hand. But when normal people go to work, their pay is based on the value they can create or add to a product. I work for alot cheaper now because the product will not support as much as it did ten years ago. Well, eventually the same will happen to the NFL and the baseball leagues and whatever because people who DO work are simply going to be fucked up the ass so bad they will not have the money. You think they'll lower the price of the tickets ? Or will they pay those outrageous salaries to players to play in front of like 100 people in a stadium that could hold 30,000 ? But, remember the crash of 2008 ? Even the carmakers had their hand out for a bailout. Look at the notable exceptions. Toyota and Honda come to mind, but also the entertainment industry. You think people who would sue Grandparents and scare the shit out of them with threats of jail time because their grandkids downloaded some music would be too proud to ask for a handout ? Bullshit, their business practices indicate that they are in it for every last dime they can get no matter what the source. That football player nobody likes anymore works for people with no scruples anyway but people overlook that and support them in the style to which they have become accustomed. All the money that gets wasted on this shit would go a long way in doing some good. Improving the infrastructure, better education (though money doesn't always work on that I guess open up some private schools). Open a business making products, that is after you teach the kids how to read a ruler. I knew how to read a micrometer at about ten. But they won't. I will not support them at all. I do not even have a TV, well technically I do but no cable or convertor box so it doesn't work because the government, under a REPUBLICAN President decided we all need high definition. Do you call that conservative ? The government supports these punks, so they owe taxes. I don't owe them shit, I earn every dollar I get d they do nothing to help me collect it either. Enough rant, I am probably well into TLDR territory. T^T
