    The fact that such rivalries exist doesn't mean that they make sense. Again, why DO these things exist?

    To get money from alumni.

    There has to be WAY more to it than that. When I was a kid growing up in Columbus, there were people who had no connection with the school who absolutely DRIPPED hatred for anything Michigan.

    Thank You Rye. I never understood it either. We finally agree on something related to sports.:P Here in Arizona there is the same kind of rivalry, though not as intense, between the University of Arizona and Arizona State University. I don't get that one either.

    Hey Rye,

    Down here, there's an old saying...... "If the Russians are playing Michigan, we'll root for the Russians".    :)..........Widder

    At the risk of starting another $**t storm, why?

     Baker Mayfield did it to Ohio State when Oklahoma won. People booed but there was no brawl! 

    One thing you need to understand about OSU-MSU rivalry: it's older than anybody here, it's fierce, and fights start over it all the time. At least as as back as the 1970s, win or lose, the game has caused riots and fights nearly every year. People in Columbus HATE anybody and anything from Michigan, and the same is true from the other side. 

    I'm from Columbus and had OSU football rammed down my throat from childhood, and I don't understand it. But there it is.

    So....

     

    I guess the GOP and the NRA should be boycotted because they supported the Mulford Act.

    That was nearly 60 years ago. I doubt that any of those people are still in power. 

    The NFL allowed this 8 years ago. Most of them are still there, and by their silence on the subject, at least tacitly, still support it.

    Many in the GOP and the NRA are supporting the opposite of Mulford.

    Yes you’re correct but 99.9% of the players didn’t take part in the gesture. 

    But the NFL STOOD BEHIND IT. IMHO, any player participating should have been immediately dragged off the field and kicked out of the league. But the NFL allowed it to happen. If they'd have stepped up and at least "The NFL understands that players have the freedom to do that, but as an organization we disapprove", I might have a different opinion of them. But they said "We approve of our players doing this." They STILL haven't demonstrated any disapproval of it, it's just lost its headline drawing ability.

    Watching the post-game "festivities" on the field.  The NFL should take note of all the players involved and declare them all intelligible to play in the NFL.

    They won't if they think that they will make money off of them.

    It would stop if the players said stick it we are sitting the season out.

    I know MONEY .They sold their souls  .So be it .

     I gave up watching years ago.

     

    They would stop it if FANS said stick it, we are sitting the season out. But they keep going to games, watching them on T.V., and buying their products.💩:angry:

    I was idly wondering why Cleveland Indians was offensive and Washington Redskins was offensive, but Boston Celtics isn't.

    These things, along with Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben, and the Indian girl on Land O Lakes butter weren't offensive to people that they represented, they were offensive to white liberals who didn't have enough business of their own to mind. They decided that these symbols should be offensive and that they knew that better than the people represented by the symbols. 

    I stumbled on another video today on a black guy's channel saying that blacks were proud of Aunt Jemima and Uncle Bens, and because of the people on the label, those were the products they bought.

    But white liberals know better. :angry:

    Just compare the climactic gunfight in True Grit starring John Wayne to the same scene in the remake with, uhm, whoever it was.

    Not only did he deliver one of the best lines in history of film in the worst way possible, but...   He doesn't even have a Winchester.

    Jeff Bridges might as well have been saying, "Your mother wears combat boots".

    I like it! I would like one in .357 Magnum

     

    Some of the backgrounds people choose for posting gun photos baffle me. Be they for sale or just display. 
    The worst is a guy on GB that posts guns on a black velvet background. A blued gun disappears, especially with the crappy lounge lighting. I think he thinks it’s cool…or it helps hide defects. 

    How about the people selling cars that take pictures in shadow, out of focus. Or from across a parking lot.

  15. The thing I hate about remakes, is that nowadays, whoever is remaking it wants to do it the way THEY think it should've been done in the first place. They put "their spin" on the story. Usually with some DEI thrown in, which ALWAYS detracts from the story. It usually winds up not being as good as the original because people LIKED the original. They want to see a remake with the original story, not a different story with the same name. 

    Perfect for instance. "The Fantastic Four". The version from 2005 was fairly close to the original story. I don't know what is generally thought of it, but it was at least popular enough to get a sequel. The 2015 version though, OMG what a piece of crap. Literally the only things it had in common with the Source Material, (comic books) was the names of the characters and their powers. I watched it when it came out on cable, and once I did, I determined to NEVER do so again.
