Bing Bong Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 an extended contest, struggle, or controversy a battle of wits a struggle to succeed or survive her battle with cancer It's just the English language dude. "A war with words" a : a state of hostility, conflict, or antagonism b : a struggle or competition between opposing forces or for a particular end a class war awar against disease This is how language evolves. I really don't think people are using perspective when they take offense with that. 1

Dalton was the name of Patrick Swayzey's character in Road House. Road House was great, but it reminds me of Dirty Dancing which reminds me that Jennifer Grey somehow looked better before the nose job with that large nose. Females with large noses remind me of Barbra Streisand. And no one likes that. ???

Irv Posted April 25, 2018 Author Posted April 25, 2018 I met a soldier who had his arm and leg blown off in combat. He gave a talk at a conference and showed a video of the firefight where he lost his limbs. Definitely had an impact on me. Hard equate a fat slob, in sweatsuit, picking athletes from a list, spilling pizza and wings on himself - with war.

Phils n Bills Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 Proprietary draft room sure has a ring to it. My favorite part about this is in a league with teams named the chiefs and redskins, the term “war room” is the line we crossed. 1

Expand Calling soccer "The Beautiful Game" is nothing but pure unadulterated marketing at its best. I don't like the term "War Room" either. I'm not a war vet just a regular old peace time vet. But words have meaning. In the "War Room" if you have a bad day, you get fired with the rest of your contract paid and get a job with another team. In a real war, if you have a bad day, you get killed or your legs blown off. Your kid grows up a drug addict because he had no father. It also cheapens the word "war" which is probably why Amercians are always ready to send someone's else's kids off to war 1
