We are the same side this time. I believe your points have merit. Take the big bucks out of the game and a lot of zeal and enthusiasm from many players would be gone. As you have pointed out and everyone typically agrees; it is a brutal game, especially at the highest level. Players walk away now, take the fat stacks away and many more will follow. I would say that many play because they have to. The skill set for football doesn’t transfer to many things and certainly none that pay as well.

Karma

He didn't personally cause the diseases to creep in but by scouting, fighting and scalping Native Americans, there was literally blood on his hands, so trying to imply he had nothing to do with it is a bit disingenuous. If as a scout he helped the US Army he had something to do with it. Saying he had nothing to do with it is like saying Allen threw the pass but had nothing to do with the touchdown. I stated he killed over 4000 bison, which is pretty much agreed upon, I didn't say he killed ALL THE BISON. So what is it? You said he made a bunch of Native Americans rich like that was some sort of humanitarian thing, which is basically where all this started. I implied he merely exploited them for his own gain, much like the billionaires continue to do to the millionaires. So if he wasn't some venerable honorable man why would you want to wear his name on your body? By your logic you are just adorning yourself with the name of some average Joe. You are once again going to have to stick to one side of the fence. History says not only was he a scout but an Indian fighter. You have proclaimed more than once war is war and basically that is just the nature of the beast. Tomato/Tahmahto

You should read the second link Promo posted. The reason there were so many bison was that they were managed well by the Sioux. Once the Sioux were removed from the equation, the bison became victims of diseases they had lived with for millennia. Which brings us back to Cody. He helped the US army destroy the Native Americans. And you praise him for what? Giving some old Indians a bunch of money to play the role of savages in a Vaudeville Act? The second link is very informative. Thanks

You seem to have trouble with the idea that you can’t be on both sides of the fence.

So, would you consider scalping someone a war crime? And is killing over 4000 Bison, which the Sioux depended on for their way of life, helping out?

CDC estimates that the burden of illness during the 2018–2019 season included an estimated 35.5 million people getting sick with influenza, 16.5 million people going to a health care provider for their illness, 490,600 hospitalizations, and 34,200 deaths from influenza (Table 1). The number of influenza-associated illnesses that occurred last season was similar to the estimated number of influenza-associated illnesses during the 2012–2013 influenza season when an estimated 34 million people had symptomatic influenza illness6. ________________ COVID has already killed more than 3 times as many people as the flu did in the 2018-19 year with a far smaller infection rate. Continuing to compare them is not a valid argument. Peter King tried to use this same thing this morning quoting someone from the Chiefs, and called it common sense. I call it bs. He also tried to bring Herpes and HIV into the equation. You have to have sex or share needles to get HIV. Breathing will get you COVID, hmmmm. Herpes transmission is also not transmitted through breathing, maybe heavy breathing without your clothes on but once again not an apples to apples argument. As the old car commercial used to say, this isn’t your daddy’s Buick.

The only problem with your position is that, this country can not come together as one. It is too fractured, too individualistic and too competitive to ever be united. Yeah I know it is called the United States but that ain’t the reality. Never mind what is going on the streets; take a look at this board. It is split on just about everything.

It seems DJ did the right thing. Instead of using his size and power, he stepped back and called the police.

I think this is the smart money play.

Money helps buy justice.

This deal will have virtually zero bearing on either team’s viability in Buffalo.

How is this related to football? This has nothing to do with X’s and O’s.

How do you know he didn’t do those things? Were you there? History has never been sanitized to suit a narrative of the rich and powerful.

So as long as you make people rich , all is forgiven? It was most definitely war. Scalping Yellow Hair was just all in a days work is a bit of a trivial way of looking through the lens of history. Cody’s hands had plenty of blood on them.

As long as you leave out the Native Americans he fought, killed, and scalped.....

In all, he is believed to have engaged in 16 Indian fights, including his much-publicized scalping (July 17, 1876) of the Cheyennewarrior Yellow Hair (erroneously translated as Yellow Hand) in Sioux county, Nebraska, which was hailed as a response to the massacre of Custer’s command at the Battle of the Little Bighorn earlier in the year. William Cody quite the humanitarian.

Better get your popcorn ready, you are gonna need it.

Great marketing idea for an emerging market, no pun intended. As stated just below your post a good year to over promise since delivery may be down or non-existent considering social gathering laws. The stadium’s name will definitely be the butt of jokes.

No? Tony Dorsett can’t leave the house without someone watching his every step. Earl Campbell can barely walk. Should I continue?

And when Khan takes the Jags to London the similarities will continue.

Only if you change the colors.

Prominent roles of exploitation? Sounds eerily like the NFL....

No.I don’t expect any governor to be the first or even the second for that matter. They are having enough trouble grappling with masks. Most governors have shown they are mostly concerned with tax revenue. Baseball, Football, Basketball revenue are all welcome to state coffers. It won’t be the governors that stop the game. COVID will decide that. And none of that has anything to with my assertion that all of the talk about how this going to play out is a bit premature since they have yet to play a single game.

Have any games been played, no. Camp is the garage, no trains have left the station. I checked the website. The only thing baseball and football have in common is they are sports. So they are both fruits but they are not both apples.
