Day Four, Part Two: OTL and The Daily Show Eviscerate Goodell's Lies -- Games Must Be Stopped

I couldn't make all this up even if I wanted to.

• ESPN headline all too predictable:  "Ravens Fans Still Loyal To Rice, Critical of NFL"

Why not?  Football Nation America needs it's thug heroes.  And if the team loses, then (chances are -- not every man, but there's enough studies out to indicate the increase has causation!) it's more likely that the FANS will Smack Their Bitches Up.

(This is why I believed Baltimore would get the win tonight!)

And are we beginning to see a nationwide epidemic of Stockholm Syndrome:  Women beaten down so much by football and by their partners that they'll support Ray Rice, against what would appear to be all other sense of reason?

• ESPN Outside the Lines:  Ray Rice TOLD Goodell he hit his wife in June.

So we basically now have pretty much knowledge that the NFL has been completely covering this up for at least three months, and possibly as long as five.

Does anyone still not want to believe that there are men out there whose job, these days, is to protect The Shield by being "fixers" who "fix" "problems" which might require people getting their hands dirty?  One of the most famous players to go that route: Billy "White Shoes" Johnson.

• Sixteen female Senators (whom I would not be surprised if that's every female US Senator -- said without checking it) have demanded true zero-tolerance for domestic violence in the NFL.

And this is why the games must be stopped.

To have true zero-tolerance:

• Most of the brutish players would immediately have to be excommunicated from the game for what they did in these regards in high school and college.
• Many communities reliant on football for unity (if not worse!) would probably disintegrate.  The political entities (towns, colleges, etc.) might survive, but in a far more disjointed state.
• The entire presentation of the sport, from the commercials to the burlesque on the sidelines to  the very nature of the game itself -- the violence, head-shots, CTE (which is shown to be a contributing factor in domestic violence in some men who did not commit it before!!!) -- would have to be irrevocably altered.
• The entire concept of American "manhood" would have to be changed.

So this is not only why the games would have to be stopped, but why they won't be:  We now have an entire political party which is all right with Rape, Pillage, and Plunder -- and God help us all if they ever retake all three branches.

The Senators are absolutely correct, but, as I've said before, football is a mastubatory and misogynistic exercise, meant for the Glory of Man (and only of Certain Men) over all others who are lesser.

And, finally, FOR NOW:

• The Daily Show and Jon Stewart weighed in.  It wasn't pretty.
