I'm never watching another NFL game. This is an organization that has winked at all kinds of violence, crime, and thuggery, including the murder of a human being. I don't know why we expected better on behalf of the dogs. In ancient Rome, the society pitted enslaved persons and prisoners against each other in bloody spectacles, and the citizens watched and enjoyed. In the 21st Century, the NFL provides entertainment by pitting criminals and scoundrels against each other and calling it a sport. Not much progress has been made in two thousand years. I suspect that all any of us can do is to try to make things better within our own small spheres and to assertively turn our backs on the "bread and circuses" offered by the NFL.

I have just one stunned opinion, I guess: absolutely UNBELIEVABLE. I am quite surprised by the lack of any comments to this blog. I have just one stunned opinion, I guess: absolutely UNBELIEVABLE.
