Never Forget (What We Tell You Never To Forget)

Oh, the ways I could blow up this blog.  Especially after years of listening to the late Ray Taliaferro when he used to do overnights on KGO in San Francisco...

But I'll stick this to sports...

Never forget:

  • Chaining the fans in their seating areas at Yankee Stadium for "God Bless America".  It's one thing to add that to the seventh-inning tradition -- it's quite another to effectively force it down people's throats.
  • When National Obsession became National Religion, where fans would now sacrifice friendships, lives, and sacred honors just for their foobaw...
  • Would MAGA Robert Kraft, MAGA Tom Brady, and the New England Patriots be the 2000's versions of the Jordan Chicago Bulls if the NFL didn't ram 9/11 down everyone's throats and consult with the Federal government on not only militarizing certain parts of the NFL experience, but using the "Patriots" moniker as a large part of the national propaganda since?
  1. Six titles, all rigged.
  2. Nine Super Bowl appearances, including four of the last five.
  3. Appearances in every AFC Championship Game this decade, and 13 post 9/11 out of the 18 held.
  4. Three NFL MVP awards for Brady
  5. Enough PED's in TB12 (which you can now buy too! -- I've seen ads in YouTube videos for it!) to have him chasing Peyton Manning's TD record and race Drew Brees for same...
  • People wanting any form of not rising for Our Country to not only blackball the person from playing/attending the game, but be made a criminal offense -- and actually blackballing at least the first NFL player to prominently have done so?
  • The all-but-certain creation of the White Football League by a racist, misogynistic pig in the background of a ratings boycott of the NFL due to same?  (Come on, Vince...  If you don't think some of us caught the concept that not allowing criminal players was an effort to bleach your league white...)
  • And the reality of football, EDIT TO ADD about 6:25 PM PDT this evening:  No, not the potential allegations AB is a rapist...  I'm talking Neiron Bell, formerly of the Raiders.  Brain aneurysm last year after a rupture, gone at 27...  Another down at the altar of football.  But you're supposed to forget about him.
  • I guess I will break the rule for an overreaching question, as a result of the last two points:  Do we have Donald Trump's America without 9/11 and "If you're not with us, you're with the terrorists."?
But Never Forget -- only what we tell you never to forget.

Pshaw.
