I watched nearly all the Northwestern/ Iowa game yesterday and can say it seems the college game is less clownish and the NFL is basically distilled TNB.
Even among the black players?

Add Stevie Wonder to the list of those openly disrespecting the Flag:

And America's long-running NFL soap opera takes a new turn after the Texans' owner says something "racially insensitive." Oh the oppression blacks are suffering! The Texans considered boycotting today's practice but only star receiver DeAndre Hopkins actually did. I like the reference to "horrific name calling" and Troy Vincent claiming he was called the n-word. You can bet 99.99% of the racial name calling in the league is blacks calling fellow blacks the n-word, and blacks calling White players by racial slurs. But the fairy tale of terrible oppression of blacks must be maintained at all costs.
Houston Texans Owner Apologizes After Referring to NFL Protesters as ‘Inmates Running the Prison’
The owner of the Houston Texans, Bob McNair, gave a public apology Friday after referring to NFL players protesting police brutality and racial oppression as “inmates running the prison” during an owners meeting last week.
During the meeting, McNair quipped, “We can’t have the inmates running the prison.”
And pretty much, there it all is, in case you were really wondering what might be going through the minds of people like McNair. NFL players standing up for their rights? Some sort of “prison” takeover, apparently.
“I regret that I used that expression,” McNair said in a statement, according to ESPN. “I never meant to offend anyone and I was not referring to our players. I used a figure of speech that was never intended to be taken literally. I would never characterize our players or our league that way and I apologize to anyone who was offended by it.”
ESPN noted that McNair made his comments while other owners were discussing the business concerns surrounding the protests at an Oct. 18 meeting, a day after many owners and players met to discuss social reform.
NFL executive Troy Vincent told McNair that he was offended by the comparison of players to “inmates,” saying that in all of his years playing in the NFL—even facing horrific name-calling, which included the n-word—he had never felt like an “inmate.”
McNair personally apologized to Vincent, pulling him aside and apparently explaining that the words were not meant to be taken literally. [lol]

Since WR Hopkins can go against his boss with no repercussions, unlike 99% of the rest of the working population who would have promptly received a pink slip, it only reinforces the idea that yes indeed the bad guys are running the show. The ONLY way to mitigate this awful black power display ( which is couched in victim talk) is to bring in more and more white players into the league. Wake up dumbass owners! La France is correct to bring up Donald Sterling another owner who was unfairly maligned by the black power brigade and was humiliated and driven out of the league.
And never forget blacks love it when they have a chance to cry about racism. Behind their mock "hurt act" is sheer joy that whites are pinned against the wall. They relish these moments who is kidding who.
Local anti-White sports show host Mark Madden said on the air yesterday that if McNair had said "asylum" instead of "prison" it wouldn't have been racist and nothing would have been made of it. So calling blacks lunatics is ok, but calling them prisoners isn't? McNair would have been persecuted either way. All public figures need to pause and think before saying anything in front of blacks or about blacks, even in private conversations -- especially in private or off the record conversations. Every White man is fair game during "The Great Replacement."
I found myself drawn to this game also, as well as Game 4. Wish I would have watched the Series from the beginning, especially with the Dodgers so White.
TV Ratings: World Series Climbs, Trouncing Sunday Night Football
The second-longest World Series game in history is also the second highest-rated Game 5 since 2003.
Sunday's Game 5 of the World Series — the last to be played in Houston and the second-longest on record — climbed again on Sunday night, trouncing NBC's typically dominant Sunday Night Football in the process.
Early indicators have the Astros' 13-12 win taking the No. 1 spot for primetime — averaging a 12.8 overnight rating among households. That's off 16 percent from the comparable Game 5 in 2016 but still the second-biggest Game 5 since 2003. It also easily ranked as the biggest World Series game of 2017 thus far.
Last year's Game 5, which kept the Chicago Cubs in the running for their ultimately historic World Series win, averaged an initial 15.3 households rating in early returns. That number translated to 23.6 million viewers, a series best at that point, and an enviable 6.7 rating among adults 18-49. The 2016 Game 5 managed to topple the NFL by a stunning margin, pulling in 32 percent more viewers.
As for Sunday Night Football, the Pittsburgh-Detroit game had little chance of improving on the previous week's appearance from the New England Patriots. The game dropped to a 9.4 overnight rating. That's also down significantly from the comparable weekend a year ago.
What's particularly incredible about Sunday's World Series game is the stamina the audience had, even with the bloated run-time. The game ran a whopping 5 hours and 17 minutes — stretching well past midnight on the East Coast. Viewership, it seems, did not drop off after 12 a.m.
The series, now 3-2, returns to Los Angeles on Tuesday night with the Astros now within one win of their first World Series victory.

Ha. The same thing crossed my mind a few days ago in some random thought. Baseball was still king but started to wane a bit throughout the 70's as the NFL ascended rapidly in popularity; ironically, probably finally overtaking baseball when it became fully Caste in the mid-80's when the DWFs and wiggers started to become prevalent in society. Perhaps the "Tom Iron" theorem ultimately playing out again in the long run?So in my lifetime baseball and football coming around full circle, in my yute early 70s, baseball was king with kids, we played football but baseball was where the heart was.
