also Jakyl, the death knell for the XFL has been a single protracted note going on since the news about Vince's idea came out.

My views are the only ones that have been consistent through the two issues.

Having a consistent view across two wildly different issues is not necessarily a good thing.

"Spay and neuter" is a great view for solving pet overpopulation and a terrible view when applied to (supposed) human overpopulation, for instance. But consistency...!

I knew the XFL was sunk as soon as the AAF details were announced

Actually another thing is Vinces determination to shorten the length of games to two hours, because three hours is too long for anything

Which is the most ironic thing in the fucking world

My take got swallowed up in the last topic

A judge has ruled that Trump, and presumably all government officials, cannot have people blocked on Twitter while in office.

I personally think this should definitely apply to official government accounts (like @POTUS), but not to personal accounts (like @realDonaldTrump).

BUT I also recognize the specific issue in Trumps case where he has stated that his personal tweets are the only official White House statements you can trust.

This is the key here. Trump wants his personal account's tweets to be official statements. Fine. But they gotta follow the rules concerning official statements.

Protestors can still protest. If standing, they can raise a fist. Or dance. Or make funny faces.

The best protest would be to have everyone coordinate to stand as roboticly still and emotionless as possible to the point of it being weird. Arms perfectly at sides, eyes forward, unblinking, nobody moving a goddamn inch. Kind of like that one time when after being fined for grabbing his crotch Marshawn Lynch shook peoples' hands in the endzone. (still my favorite NFL player ever)

Be interesting to see the reaction/rules if the Bills ever move to Toronto.

Or heck, even the U.K. games. Are they required to stand for God Save The Queen?

That would be the most ironic thing of all

It sounds to me like Mueller believes he's gotten everything useful out of Papadopoulos. What's meaningful is whatever he does with the information.

Well they might not be able to get away with dancing and it is unlikely that making a funny face would be noticeable enough to work as a protest. But they could definitely go to a raised fist until the NFL gets more specific on how they want to define showing respect for the flag and anthem.

The Department of Justice said in a statement that it respectfully disagrees with the ruling and is considering how to proceed.


So its an interesting precedent... but nothing changes.

At least it was just a stun gun.

"The department conducted an investigation into the incident which revealed members acted inappropriately and those members were recently disciplined," Morales said, without taking questions. "I am sorry this incident escalated to this level."

This seems like a pretty clear 4th Amendment violation

Apparently if you have vegetation stuck in the SEAL OF YOUR WINDOW the cops can cuff you and search your car.

Never mind that they can pull you over for an unrelated fake reason in the first place.

Has anyone here EVER heard of anyone getting stopped for putting their turn signal on too late but still turning it on?
