The feminists like to boast how "tough" they are. Then, when convenient, they portray themselves as delicate little flowers in constant peril. A major trope of feminism was girls and women should be as sexually aggressive as men. "Free love" was a concept they were all for. Saving themselves...

So what is your point? You wanted "sympathetic" Germans didn't you? Would you prefer Waterloo without Blucher? Nearly every Vietnam movie before We Were Soldiers showed American soldiers as psychos at worst, witless dupes at best. And several 50's American films on WW II gave an unflattering...

There have been quite a few others with sympathetic Germans: The Eagle Has Landed, Decision Before Dawn, A Time to Love and a Time to Die, The Last Valley (Thirty Years War), Waterloo (Prussians save Wellington), Stalingrad (1993) and a better Stalingrad film around 1958 Dogs do You Want to Live...

Remember Donavan McNabb back in 2008? He didn't know a regular season game could end in a tie. He said "I didn't know that was in the rule book." And McNabb was a veteran QB.

Hitler never had "the military step in" regarding the German media of the time. He just put in overseers with Goebbels in charge. And German academia was largley pro-Nazi by 1933.

Florida State was NOT a doormat in the 1960's. Bill Peterson as coach had a winning record. They were all white with a pass oriented offense and stars like Steve Tensi, Fred Biletnikoff, and Ron Sellers.

I recall around 1970, St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Bob Gibson said something like: "The fans don't pay my salary. Gussie Busch does." Gibson was a baseball player but most black athletes don't grasp the concept of fan interest being what generates the money. Gibson said this in the context of not...

It's been said for decades (going back to the 1930's) that Tennessee high schools don't produce enough college football prospects. This means Tennessee has always recruited heavily out of state. When Tennessee was all white in the 1950's they had a lot of players from Pennsylvania coal mining...

From the viewpoint of the NYT it's a single standard. They are cowardly and hypocritical but go by a single standard of "We hate white people."

Yes, they don't know what the word "subtle" means.

Jordy Nelson is the kind of player the late Al Davis liked for his long ball offense.

I knew his mother was of Mexican extraction.

I've known about Ehrenburg since I was in college. He wasn't comparable to Goebbels, who was head of a government ministry ("Minister of Propaganda and Popular Enlightenment") and gauleiter of Berlin. Ehrenburg was a pet writer of the Soviet regime with an international reputation who was one of...

There is a recent Danish film on the bad (against the Geneva Convention) treatment of young German POWs after the end of the war titled "Land of Mine." Rex Reed, a mainstream critic calls it (http://observer.com/2017/02/land-of-mine-movie-review-martin-zandvliet/) "harrowing, intelligent...

Trump has done more good things than we've seen from a POTUS than who knows when.

Generalplan Ost was not propaganda. it was written down (the Germans wrote everything down) and carried out in Poland, in particular. Ask our friend Rebaljo. The judges in the end didn't press the bombing of civilians charge. Apparently, they took the Allied bombing of Germany which killed...

Karl Doenitz, who succeeded Raeder as COC of the German Navy, was the one charged with unrestricted submarine warfare. A hundred or so American and British naval commanders, including Admiral Nimitz, wrote letter to the Court saying they had done the same thing. Nimitz said the United States had...

At the Nuremberg trials, the Soviet judges tried to pin the Katyn Massacre on the German military and make it part of the indictment. The lawyers for the defendants said they would offer proof the Russians were guilty. The Russians spent about a day trying to get it in the trials but the...

Years ago I read that many New York writers have a fantasy of a good friend being a black NBA player whom the writer shoots baskets with.

Dwight Clark wasn't wearing gloves when making The Catch.

Forcing boys to play with girls has been a communist trope since Lenin. one of the first things the Bolsheviks did after seizing power was to execute the Moscow Boy Scouts.

I saw Billy Cannon play on TV many times. The first time was the 1959 Sugar Bowl. In Cannon's third pro season, he had a serious back injury and was never an effective runner again. In 1964 Cannon went to the Oakland Raiders, Al Davis wanted him, and played fullback, blocking for Clem Daniels...

An ESPN headline said "Woods Makes Cut!" Another said "There Is Accomplishment In Tiger Woods' Struggles at Augusta."

They must think he's one of the Kennedys.

Bert Coan was known as a player who was usually hurt when you needed him. BTW, Coan played in the AFL, not the NFL.
