Thanks for the kind words everyone. Feeling a bit better this morning - poo poo still sucks, but at least I've had some processing time. Might be a crappy few weeks while things play out. Ah well, more coffee and scotch (albeit the second has to wait until after work...)

Appeals to Tradition is a logical fallacy, you know that right? gently caress football, gently caress the NFL using our Education System as its free-to-them recruiting system, and gently caress the whole thing for leeching on ACTUAL needs of college students in favor of bread and circuses for the rich and wealthy to dip their hands into to keep themselves rich. http://www.businessinsider.com/university-new-hampshire-football-stadium-scoreboard-librarian-donated-million-dollar-estate-2016-9 quote:Alumna Claire Cortese wrote a blog post vilifying the school's decision, identifying UNH's art and photography departments, and student publications — which have received funding cuts in recent years — as more worthy recipients of Morin's money. She also drew attention to the fact that the school just completed a $25 million renovation of the football stadium. gently caress your sport. You have to face this, and this is not a matter of me being a pessimist: You are actively contributing and cheering for the crushing of public education so you can watch a game. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2017-01-04/college-football-s-top-teams-are-built-on-crippling-debt https://www.huffingtonpost.com/robert-greenwald/college-football-is-steal_b_8282690.html (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

I'm leaving, ergo the money suck that is college football is okay? I know I'm being an rear end in a top hat here, but c'mon now. You don't get to openly say "HOORAY COLLEGE FOOTBALL!" and then ignore the very real consequences of the sport you praise will have on generations to come because you wanted to watch a game. Changing that viewpoint is essential to changing the overall ethos. Its not about me being an rear end in a top hat, which I get that I am, its about facing the reality that you are creating through ignoring what its actually doing to the country at large.

There are also a lot of politics involved when building their stadiums and giving them tax breaks because having the team will supposedly bring a lot of business to the surrounding area and in almost all cases everyone except the team owner is the loser on all of these deals

The only reason political chat in particular is done is because it always devolves immediately into a bunch of assholes arguing with eachother. Devolving into assholes arguing with eachother on any subject is bad and you should feel bad about doing it.
