I don't have any issue with Ms. Swift and her music or even political views. She's a middle-aged woman who writes as if she's junior high girl. I have more problems with her tight end, who accepted millions of dollars to promote an injection which has injured or killed hundreds of millions and which will do the same going forward for years. My guess is that he sold his soul to the pharms but got a placebo himself, as the pharmas couldn't have him drop dead on the field, as so many thousands of athletes have over the past 3 years. It would be very bad P.R.
Like you, I will hold my nose and pull for the Chiefs, even though I don't care much one way or the other. These young men are paid millions to play a kid's game and when they take a knee, should be to thank God that they live in a forgiving and fair society that renders such liberty and wealth to them for doing so, instead of protesting imagined insults or historical transgressions from generations ago.
Danny Huckabee
P.S. They're still the Indians as far as I'm concerned and the Redskins still play in D.C.
SHE MAKES A TON OF MONEY BEING A PRE-TEEN, EMPTY-HEADED CHILD FOR LIFE. THAT WILL BE HER SCHTICK WHEN HER HAIR IS THIN, GREY AND FALLING OUT, AND HER TIGHT END IS A BAG OF WRINKLES. NOT SURE ANYONE REALLY CARES.
The Narrative is regularly contradictory. In fact, being contradictory is often a feature rather than a bug. For ideas and beliefs to gain traction, they need to circulate widely, capturing an audience familiar with the concepts. Lightning rods attract more attention than do banalities such as "rain is wet."
I’ll bet I’m not alone in not remembering that event. Thank you for another go around to scold and mock a cheesy effort by a low rent nobody to humiliate and degrade someone they didn’t know just to make one of their petty political points. I’m a sucker for little boys and the picture of the young fan should be everywhere next Sunday. Every boy should be able to look up to strong men working hard to achieve and show how important it is to them. (Of course the lawyers wrote the correction.)
Our oldest grandson is visiting his KS grandparents and will be in full Chiefs gear for the day. He’s not a football player but knows about working to win.
As for Swift - her music is pretty mundane, and her love life none of my business, but neither of the Kelce boys has been arrested for anything and they show up for practice on time and play to win, so it’s still none of my business. The Chiefs run a good team and their town loves them. Show me a smiling little boy any day.
Me too, but I had a train to catch and just memoralized it in my head as I drove. Shampoo girl got water in my ear and erased all the fun I had before breakfast!
I lived in Cleveland for 60 years and probably saw a thousand Indians games. I knew Rick Reinert, son of Fred Reinert, the artist who drew Chief Wahoo, the Tribe's mascot. When the Indians became the Guardians, the powers that be, left "dians" as a reminder in both names. Hence, I call them the Cleveland Dians. I refuse to budge, I will not budge and call the them the G-G-G (I can't even say the friggin name).
I have an old Wahoo game board (played with marbles and a die) with an Indian chief in the center from my childhood. I never knew that was the origin of the name or the picture but that must be it. Thanks for enlightening me!
Well I forgot about that incident with that little boy.. so yes!
But I wasn’t going to root for them anyway, cause I hate being played and this thing with Swift and Kelce is so obs a made in Pedowood romance it’s enough to make you queasy. She’s a closet lesbian ffs. If you can’t see that, maybe it’s time to have your gaydar taken into the shop!
The things people can be made to do for $. Just how much more does he need!
I'm with you on the politics in sports. Kaepernick, the one knee national anthem, and then the mandated vax, is what did me in with the NFL and it's commissioner. I have no interest in that business and what they appear to stand for. Done.
My jury is still out on baseball. Dropped the Guardians when the name changed so will go back to the Pirates (Buccaneers - traitorous criminals - must be more honorable than native Americans to MLB) since we have family ties to Honus Wagner.
I don't like mixing politics with sports, but... San Fransicko represents the most beautiful state in the world going to $hit based on politics. That is only marginally worse than Kelce being a Pfizer rep.
I don't know. At least the situation in SF is due to idiot voters constantly lead astray by CA's virtue signaling politicians for decades--it's their own fault, they deserve it, and only they can fix it. But Kelce promoting Pfizer's non-vaccine gives me the heebie-jeebies----an athlete promoting harm for a payday he doesn't need?!! Disgusting. Go 49ers!
In my day, some 80+ years ago, Taylor Swift was the street name for One Hour Martinizing, a dry cleaning franchise that got soiled garments back to you in sixty minutes.
That was back in the day, when we left the front door open and the dry cleaning man, driving his own truck brought our cleaning to the house, opened the door, and hung them up in the closet. My plus + = 2. In June, I'll start lying about my age again.
Whew!! I'm finally in the majority in a Don Surber poll.*** Bottom line: Cancel Culture as it is called, is not new. It is the current name for an anti-American culture war that has grown from irritating attacks on team names to attacks on anything American. Even innocent children having innocent fun at a local park or a football game targets now. Cancel Culture is the expression of hate for America. *** BTW: San Francisco isn't in the Super Bowl. The Niners fled that city just as the Jets and Giants fled New York. The team built offices and a practice facility in Santa Clara (35 miles from San Fran) years ago. Their new stadium is there, too.. *** Seniors, especially veterans, are still boycotting the NFL. Forgiving NFL owners and the Commish for banning tributes to fallen officers while allowing kneeling during the Anthem will be a long time coming. We have not forgiven those acts and string of similar offensive actions/inactions/policies. *** We don't believe in Cancel Culture, we fight it. Our approach is different and not filled with hate and violence. We believe in and practice capitalism, the original and most moral system for eliminating bad products and ideas. (See Bud Lite marketing department for details.) We believe in America. We took an oath to defend it. There was no expiration date on that oath - that is a very serious statement not a platitude. We take personal offense when anyone attacks our country. We are at home but are still very much in the jungle. We have put down our rifles for now but we are still in the fight. Our continuing boycott is our current weapon of choice. *** Super Bowl winner? I don't care. I'm already smiling with Holden Armenta who embarrassed the NFL and MSM and became veterans of the culture war.
Interesting....a lil nugget I learned the other day, watching I think Human Events Daily with Jack Posobiec, after you mentioning the POS Colon{on purpose} Kaepernick. That the first white player to bend a knee was no other than Travis Kelce.........mic drop.....
Goes to show the fawned dopiness on the commercials maybe ain't fawned... and words cannot describe the elation of Kaepernick's continued unemployment.
Sportsball, America's favorite soporific drug. Oh yeah, all you "kunservatives" out there, sitting on your rearends, stufffing your faces and swilling down Bud Lite while rooting for ... what, exactly? A football team whose players you have never met and never will meet and who wouldn't cross the street to piss on you if you were on fire? Whose entire structure is meant to distract you from actually living as opposed to spectating? It's nothing but TikTok for ... I was about to say "grown-ups," but realized that is entirely inappropriate because if you invest any time into watching sportsball of any sort you may have grown taller (and undoubtedly, fatter) but your intellectual and spiritual development ceased around your fourteenth birthday. If what I say is provoking some anger, good! It's about time somebody told you what a sucker you are, what an utter fool you have been made of by people who have nothing but utter contempt for you. I make an exception to fathers watching their offspring play these games, but if you don't have a family member on the team, you have no reason to spectate. Everyone here on Don's website, Don included bitches and moans about the sad, sad state of affairs we have here in the country today, but by supporting the sportsball industry--whether watching the games, buying the merchandise, wearing "team logo" apparel, buying shoes made with sweatshop labor in Vietnam and sold here to suckers (that word again) at unbelievable profit margins or any of the other myriad ways you show support for this monstrosity, you are part of the problem rather than the solution. Why are you spending your precious time--something you can never get back once lost--paying attention to the millionaires and billionaires running the sportsball sideshow? What benefit do you receive from this? What harvest do you expect to reap from the hours you spend sewing into this utterly sterile field? How much of your time and treasure will you invest in this enterprise, remembering that Jesus told us that where a man's treasure lies, there also lies his heart. Is that where you would like to tell Jesus you put your heart when you stand before Him on that future day? Will you tell Him, "I would have made something more of the life you gave me, but I really had to catch the Superbowl on TV." I'm not demanding that you become a monk, or devote your every waking moment to something "constructive." God knows I don't, but at least you can stop lending your support to an institution that does nothing to advance our cause and at best is a distraction, and one that provides you not a single worthwhile thing. Ask yourself, "How is my life better for having watched a football game?" I'd love to hear the answer.
First, I agree the insanely manic reactions many have about franchises, game outcomes, and endless talk about trades and "next year predictions", etc. is over the top. However, I have enjoyed many games for the competitive nature of it - the will, work, and strategy to win. It is entertainment, not unlike loving the ballet or the opera or a wonderful stage musical on Broadway. Different tastes for different well-developed skills.
The competitive spirit and the drive to win is the basis for our economy (and life) in my opinion. Organized sports operationalizes that enjoyment to many and represents the ruggedness of the American dream better than other pastimes. But, professional sports has gone downhill and is deserving of significant criticism. Blindly following the NFL for example is becoming akin to blindly following CNN or MSNBC.
Lastly, Professional sports has a long history. It wasn't always what it is today. That history still resides with those who call themselves fans.
My uncle used to watch the WNBA because they played real basketball and not the NBA since they could travel half the court without a foul being called.
Todays sports would make him very sad. I quit watching sports (all sports) when it became a thing to trash the country you were representing overseas. If you dont like it that bad, please leave. Oh wait, there is no place on Earth you can trash the country you live in and still make millions. Not all players are like this and I still see the occasional blurb about the ones who are good, ect. but Lordy I wish the whiners would pack their bags.
Good for your uncle in understanding what he was enjoying and not being brainwashed by the mania.
A handful of examples do not make a trend, but there are the PAT TILLMANS who left the NFL and all the glory and money to fight for our country after 9-11. For those who don't know this story, Pat was killed in the war, unfortunately by friendly fire. Again, one man does not make a trend, but he is not the only good person to play professional sports.
We see our free market capitalist country quickly morphing to socialism, but consumers still vote with their dollars at this point. As such, there must be a large target market associated with this segment of professional sports to give it the revenue to pay the ridiculous salaries. Will we blame the players for taking the paycheck? Between Pepsico, Frito Lay (owned by Pepsi), and a handful of beer brands, they must be spending in this free market to reach their targets successfully.
It can be a good football game for some, or the next Citizen Kane blockbuster for others. It's entertainment. All entertainment can be overdone.
Entertainment is mostly overdone these days. I wont watch the game, will check the scores later. Had to verify the game was this weekend.
I pray for Pat Tillman's family whenever i think about him. I had only been out of the Navy myself at 10 yrs when he died. It hit really close to home. he reminded me of all the Hollywood stars who dropped what they were doing and joined the service for WWII.
Odd that you mentioned that. My son visits me on Wednesday nights for Movie Night. We watched The Shootist. Jimmy Stewart played the doctor in this one, I reminded my son that his Dad* was in the same war with Stewart and quite a few others. He was properly honored. My son joined up during Desert Storm, but they closed the induction program when the war was over in about 90 days. Supposedly over. *Battle of the Bulge under Patton
There were many patriots in Hollywood at that time. My dad left high school the day he had enough credits to graduate and enlisted in the airforce at the age of 17. He flew a P-51 and escorted Jimmy Stewart on some bombing missions. They were both “Pensylvania boys” - before war was hijacked by the industrial complex.

If I could go back in time, it'd be to Mpls in 1963 just to see Harmon Killebrew hit that home run over the center field fence and run the bases. That ball landed in some lake somewhere but Harmon ran, when he could have walked. My take is, he was supposed to run so he did. Go Twins (not these Twins, those old Twins.)
Some of us conservatives never did go back to the NFL, the NBA, or any of the other alphabet woke corporations. There was a time my wife and I would look at the super bowl commercials online, but even stopped that after they went woke and retarded. I believe pro sports belongs in in the trash can with Bud Light. They are two of a kind.
Ive only watched the Chevy commercials, the 2 Christmas ones in years. Those are tear jerkers.
On a new note, an Australian serf company just used a Trans to replace a well known woman surfer who still surfs after losing an arm to a shark. The back lash was soo fierce that they canned him in 4 days. Not sure they will recover since they POed a lot of people.
LOVE IT that they dropped him in 4 days!! Glad to hear it. The only woketards worse than the American left are the woketards in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and part-time the UK. They've lost their minds.
Here's why I feel differently about pro-sports. Obviously the organizations are poorly run, meddle in politics, disrespect their players who are the only reason the organizations exist, and just generally piss off half of the fans most of the time. BUT, the joy the games bring to their fans (and also heartache) is immeasurable. The community the teams build, the fans from all walks of life sharing team spirit, the unbridled joy of a come-from-behind win! I don't support the NFL or NBA (hate) or even MLB (moved game out of GA, idiots), but I do support the Americans who love to watch and support their teams. It's classic Americana to me.
Unfortunately the woketards are trying to destory any community that pulls us to together. I pray the companies get their acts together and go back to selling their products and quit with the agendas.
I don't have any issue with Ms. Swift and her music or even political views. She's a middle-aged woman who writes as if she's junior high girl.

Amen, plus she writes about her breakups as if she is still a teenage, all angst and drama. Takes two to tango.
Kelce is her beard, or is she his?
SHE MAKES A TON OF MONEY BEING A PRE-TEEN, EMPTY-HEADED CHILD FOR LIFE. THAT WILL BE HER SCHTICK WHEN HER HAIR IS THIN, GREY AND FALLING OUT, AND HER TIGHT END IS A BAG OF WRINKLES. NOT SURE ANYONE REALLY CARES.
For an organization which is supposed to be so racist, the NFL has certainly made millionaires of a whole lot of blacks
Yeah, from an awful lot of us white racists...
And some of them underserving.
Damn near every last one, undeserving.
The un-woke Christians who acknowledge God are ostracized or ignored when giving thanks for Gods gifts leading to success.
Maybe they seek the gifts and not the Giver.

Hang on to it. It may become a hot sports memorabilia collectible.
Let's not write off Brock Purdy. A guy picked dead last in the draft and a guy not bashful in his praise of the Almighty God.
There was another guy picked last in the draft and is now the GOAT.

Opining that democrats don't begrudge wealth, Obama the Great once said, "I do think at a certain point you've made enough money." 2010 in Quincy, IL
Right, but to let yourself get turned into her bitch… there most be plenty of 0’s involved!
Politics in sports is why I've really quit watching sports. Sports were a distraction from the world's ailments. Now they just constantly remind us.
PS I never had an issue with Taylor Swift in the past. Now that she's become political I do.
I'm with you on the politics in sports. Kaepernick, the one knee national anthem, and then the mandated vax, is what did me in with the NFL and it's commissioner. I have no interest in that business and what they appear to stand for. Done.

More reason to have nothing but distain for Taylor Swift and her attraction to that man.

The community the teams build, the fans from all walks of life sharing team spirit, the unbridled joy of a come-from-behind win! I don't support the NFL or NBA (hate) or even MLB (moved game out of GA, idiots), but I do support the Americans who love to watch and support their teams. It's classic Americana to me.
Unfortunately the woketards are trying to destory any community that pulls us to together. I pray the companies get their acts together and go back to selling their products and quit with the agendas.
Moving the all-star game from Atlanta only damaged the same people mlb was supposedly supporting with their stupidity.
I hope they never recover from woke !!
