2019 Detroit Lions

The answer is simple. You fans have got to STOP attending games and throwing away your good money to support millionaire jocks who couldn't pass English 101 without their athletic scholarships. I don't mean just the Lions, but the whole shebang of pro sports. It's gotten ridiculous. Fire away.

Ray, did you say the same for Frank Sinatra? Barely literate. Tough guy wanna be. Dropout. Womanizer. Woman beater.

But he could sing even when his voice was sub-par.

He was an entertainer. Nothing particularly special about the guy except he could sing pretty well. Did you not buy his records or go to his movies?

Same thing for John Wayne who was considered a great hero by fighting the Battle of Burbank. Did you not support Wayne’s movies because he was a loutish oaf?

Nah, he was an entertainer. You didn’t resent Wayne’s paycheck because he earned it by entertaining. Same for Johnny Carson, Dean Martin or any other star, living or dead. Entertainers earn.

Sports players are entertainers.

Entertain and get paid.

If you are complaining about the money in sports, do I really need to point out that you live in Vegas?

I'm here for [[1) the weather and [[2) the desert scenery. I don't patronize the sports books at all. Yeah, I go to a casino once a week perhaps either to eat or to run a twenty throught the slots for entertainment. That's my entertainment money.

Oh, and I don't live in Las Vegas. I live in Henderson. Vegas is a suburb.

[[All that bullshit aside, good post, gnome, as always. You make good points.)
