Originally posted by NordlysSince it is SO important to you, I'll tell you about it. I didn't make the same post in the Sports forum, Bubbles, I made the mention in someone else's thread. I put it here because this forum seems to get the most traffic.
I'd rather say a forum is like a radio or TV channel. You are broadcasting on the wrong channel. The Sports Forum is there for a reason. People who are interested in sports will see your post there, people who aren't don't need it. True, it's no big deal if it's just one post, but if everybody would start to cross-post, we could just as well close the Sports forum again.
And you couldn't possibly be any more wrong about your thread vs forum argument. You're just wrong and being stubborn. 😛

Are you kidding? I'll bet Pacman Jones plays for Tennessee this season. Michael Vick will play for Atlanta as well, unless he is sent to prison. Of course, by the time the attornies get through arguing how this poor kid who grew up in the ghetto fighting for everything he ever got just didn't know this was wrong, they will slap his hand and tell him not ...[text shortened]... dstands campaigning against the obviously racially motivated prosecution of the black players.

It's about voting with your dollar. Demanding a better product than that being produced. Sure, there are plenty of fine young men representing the sport they make a living in. But a few bad apples do spoil the barrel. And it seems especially prevalent in the NBA and NFL. That's my opinion.
So what's your team?

And no matter what industry there is out there, if they don't put out a good product, the public damn sure votes with its dollars.
Originally posted by Frank BurnsIt's a valid opinion. And Vince Lombardi would be proud of you, that's for sure. I think Vick should be suspended too, but I won't go so far as to label him a criminal yet. A bad apple? Yes. Criminal? Not yet.

Get my point?
A little birdy just whispered something to me:
"In 1963 star Packer halfback Paul Hornung was suspended indefinitely for betting on games and hanging out with organized crime figures. The NFL reinstated him the following year and he played and started for three more years under Lombardi."
I guess Lombardi would be more proud of Phlabby here than you, Franky.

Originally posted by Frank BurnsFlailing? How so? This guy plays for the Falcons. If the owner doesn't do something, by your logic you should also be boycotting his company.
Home Depot puts out reliable products that I like to use. The Falcons do not. You're flailing P. Flailing miserably.
If you decide you like the product too much, you are a hypocrite.
