It’s Apparently Not Just The Players Who Are Suffering From Concussions

Re:  It’s Apparently Not ThePlayers

Mr. Goodell,

You run a tax-exempt “non-profit” that is the biggest license to print money in the United States.

Your organization regularly loots city and state treasuries to build your venues – including mine.  You’ve crudely extorted hundreds of millions of dollars from our idiot governor and from a bunch of legislators who should have known better, using tactics that well befit the mobsters that are among the main beneficiaries of your profits.

Your athletes have turned, over the past thirty years, from role models into reprobates.

But you turned down this Super Bowl ad, from Daniel Firearms?

(To whom I’ll be giving free advertising, today and on Super Sunday, and likely more than a time or two in between)

I’m picturing the reasons.

Because you’re worried about violence:  So are we.  Especially when I go into a bar or restaurant where there might be NFL players present. (Yep, I used to DJ at the old Eddie Websters.  To be fair, back then the biggest danger was being on the same stretch of road as a Viking after closing time).

Because you’re worried about the game’s image:  Right.  Hey, is that Miley Cyrus’ ass at the halftime show?

Because you’re in bed with a bunch of liberal metro-area politicians:  Oh.  Right.

I think you might just be creating some baseball fans out there.

  1. Opiate of the masses = massive rent seeking and economic waste.

    Liberals are embarrassingly stupid about this.

  2. Sheesh, Berg! Thanks a lot for making me feel older!

    I took a prom date to Eddie Webster’s and spent untold hundreds in the peanut bar. I also have a very good friend that worked his way up from bus boy to chef.

  3. I remember my family going to Websters West (I think it was on Hwy 7 somewhere, can’t remember), and my dad ordering AND FINISHING the 32oz steak. I also remember he found a copper staple in his salad one night. I don’t remember what they did about it, I was only 7 or so.

  4. Baseball, basketball and hockey all are part of this extortion game as well. Remember a guy who called himself Norm from St Paul with a curious NY accent?

  5. On a side note, only with as effective a gun salesman as Barack Obama in the Oval Office could Daniel Defense hope to afford a Super Bowl ad, if you get what I’m sayin’.

    Used to love the game, and still could if it weren’t for abominations like the Super Bowl and Orange Bowl halftime shows, Cialis and Viagra ads, and the like. Michelle Malkin did a wonderful explanation of why I’ve got no time for big time football anymore. I’ll spend the money left over for guns & ammo.

  6. Mitch:

    I would’ve added to your letter:

    You should be more worried about your refs getting calls right and stopping them from making mistakes. After your refs missed a key call in the previous Raven (which fortunately for them didn’t cost them the game) your crew of refs for the next Ravens game went out and blew two calls helping the Ravens win a game they didn’t deserve.

    Have those refs been fired? After all that is far more important than monitoring every commercial a network (whose job it is to monitor them).

  8. Alex Jones is selling Organic Coffee! Right after the NFL segment in The Fed’s referenced video about the 5 minute mark.

    Wonder if it’s fertilized with 100% Jesse Ventura BS.

  9. Two million people get their news from Alex Jones everyday and he has a lot of coverage on Media Matters for some reason. 50 employees supposedly.

    Amazing.
