NFL endorses criminal-justice reform bill in the midst of anthem debate
Quote:
Goodell's winking and nodding at the kneeling players will probably just encourage them to take it further, not make them respect the country again. The NFL will not be better off for bowing to them. Look at Mizzou. The NFL doesn't seem to understand what's happening here at all. Fans do not want the NFL to be political. Fans are not going to be amused by Roger Goodell wading into politics. ESPN has already made this mistake by becoming another politicized media outlet... it's fascinating that Goodell thinks the way to resolve the fan ire over this conflict is to make the NFL more political. |

The very first job I had after returning from Viet Nam (before I re-enlisted) was a jail guard at the Jefferson County Jail in Louisville KY. That place was the biggest shithole on the face of the earth. They have since built a "modern" version of a jail. Seriously, if you can imagine a dungeon in some castle in the 12th century - you would be close. I quit after 6 weeks. I have never seen such a place (even after the jungles of the A Shau Valley) in my life. Hell, I was afraid that if I stayed there, I would wind up as an inmate. While I agree with your assertion _ I always go back to that old TV Show with Robert Blake and the theme song: "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time" |

Wrong. Goodell ripped Trump after he won, saying he didn't know how he'd explain to his daughters how Trump was elected. There was NO possible benefit for him to wade into politics there. There was no conceivable explanation for his stupidity |

Prison unions lobbying for higher sentencing and more incarceration - more prisoners means more prison jobs, more prisons A booming prison trade show market that profits off of hawking prison supplies to a growing prison population Booming private prison industry that profits off of growing prisoners There is so much dirty money. And we've created a cycle that we almost can't stop. We keep building new prisons, employing new prison labor, ordering prison supplies from business and the only way to keep those prisons cost efficient and those workers employed is to arrest more and more people. And yet most people don't even realize this whole thing is happening. It's nuts. |

It's not just the 'Doing the time', that's a small part of it. Our criminal just system is screwed from beginning to end, outside to inside. Every aspect of it is ****ed.
