WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE SPIT INCIDENT?

[Polo]

So, I saw the spitting incident at the Cowboy/Eagles game last night.  I don't get why a grown football professional who is paid a lot of money would do that.  My son in law thinks its all an act.   Hubby says its not.   Me, not sure.  What did you all make of it?  And then later on, the guys pulling off each others' helmets in a little scuffle.  It's the beginning of the season!  You would think folks would be on their best behavior!

I've been wondering how low the NFL players will go before the NFL is no longer the National Football League will become the National Felons League complete with bright orange jumpsuits with numbers on their back.  Hey wait...they already have numbers on their back!!

Sports are no longer about honor, they are about entertainment.

Don't you think the referees are in on it too?  Why would they risk their jobs to deal with something that's not approved by their bosses?  Do you think they wear those headsets as an ornament?  They get orders from headquarters about when to step in and when not to.  

As I said, it's about entertainment now, not honor.

Nope.. none of it’s real. Sadly I believe it’s all scripted.

I don't care. When the woke started kneeling for the National Anthem, I was done. Now I see there are news reports of femmie men being cheerleaders. Enjoy football if that's your choice. Me, no thanks. I'll go hang out with some Vets or good people trying to support the community.

Men have been on cheer squads for decades.. what’s the problem there? The news just waking you up to it? 

[Petee]

Cheer Leaders are just cheerleaders.  There is nothing sexual about that unless those watching the show are looking for barely concealed butts and groins.  In that case, it's a sexual abomination.  What!!!!!   Who wants to see a man's parts anyway.  In they wear suitable bottoms, and that includes the girls, then rah,rah,rah!    Yea!

The cheers are for the players to encourage them to try harder and give them some encouragement.  

The one gay guy on our cheer squad was the Major Domo and he really did a good job, AND HE WORE A VERY HANDSOME FULL UNIFORM.  HE REALLY DID A GOOD JOB AND WAS SKILLED. 

It should be about honor, pride and the game.

To each his own. Like I said, if you enjoy the NFL that is your choice. I don't. That is my choice.
