Haven't heard a K. Schmoke quote since I listened to him in an interview about his appearance on "The Wire." Love that dude, & his schmokey name, though it might not've been the best name for a mayor that suggested legalizing drugs!

I say the average American person is stupid, and I think the test scores worldwide back up that statement. Corporate America doesn't want intelligent people in this country because it'll ruin everything for them. They want you just smart enough to operate the machinery/PC, but dumb enough to believe the crap they shovel your direction.

I say you're dead wrong and you need to think a bit before you type.I might agree that the average American consumer is not well informed and that corporate America takes advantage of that but stupid............no.

I would say stupid, a good amount of Americans think the President is Muslim, voting percentage is relatively low, test scores, etc. Just because you are stupid, doesn't mean you are a bad person and I think that's why Giantone is getting all touchy\feely about this.

I could go on and on. Let me know if you want more examples, but yeah stupid is about right.

[quote=NC_Skins;802100]You can write as many letters as you want, but you are dealing with a group of men who's bottom line is money. They don't give a rats ass about the fans, just their money. They don't give a **** if you go without football, it's about a higher profit margin for them. They don't give a **** if it messes up your family outing on Sundays, just hand t hem the cash. They don't give a **** who this affects beyond their pockets.

You want action? You want results? Cut off their lifeline. Stop giving these guys money. Stop buying the merchandise, and stop buying the tickets. The owners just sit back and laugh at all you because no matter how bad they treat you, you keep on coming back for more.

This isn't meant to be insulting to anybody, just my view on this whole fiasco. The power lies in you.[/quote]

Those are all in China and India so your argument sucks.

Wait, wait, wait, Obama is not Muslim? Let me get this right... his father was Muslim, he was born in a Muslim country, he gets sent to Muslim schools growing up, his father listed Obama's faith as Muslim on the school documents,

And all because he files a Cirtificate of Live Birth in Hawaii and the paper reads "RECEIVED" (in 2005) which only means the paper was filled out and sent to them, not reading "FILED" which is how most read when they have been co-oberated by the hospital which the title of the hospital did not exist back at the time Obama was supposedly born and didn't take on the hospital name until well into the 70's...

Does not mean Obama is a Christian. A lot of people change faiths especially if it benefits them.

[quote=CRedskinsRule;802101]NC_Skins, Does your sentiment include the players?[/quote]

I would have to say yes, but I firmly believe that players value fans more than the owners do. Had the players been the one that opted out of this CBA, I would be saying the same thing in regards to them.


It's rare you find a owner like JKC that was pretty much a fan favorite because he gave back to the community. In fact, the majority of his inheritance went to his foundation to give scholarships to needy people. You'll be hard-pressed to find another owner in the NFL like that.

Obama's platform was so far to the left that a group of radical Muslims might have killed him on the spot if given the information.
