They're trusting the draft to the same city that had the godawful pageantry before Stanley Cup games?! If that town's a rockin', don't go a knockin'...
My family has season tickets to the Knights. I've been to many games, including the cup loss. It is a millions times more fun and energetic outside and inside the stadium than Sabres games. I was at the 8 goal game against Ottawa and despite 8 goals scored it felt like being at an AHL game. Sabres are still my favorite team, but you're insane if you don't think Vegas is the BEST place to hold big time events like the cup and the draft.

At the Rams / Eagles game in LA. Watched the entire game when I got home to San Diego. Didn't see the McCoy run live.

At the game. Was with my brother and two friends. My parents watched the game with a friend who had a satellite TV in West Seneca.

Interesting that you assumed he is white when he gave no indication to his race or heritage. It's funny that people will bite your head of for stereotyping pretty much any group unless you are applying a negative stereotype to a white man. Because we all know how most white men are evil, racist monsters.
No. It is not that most white men are evil, racist monsters (and you have to see the irony in your statement).
It's just that a certain conception of whiteness is associated with institutional, economic, and structural violence, such as colonialism, neocolonialism, slavery, genocide, segregation, etc. I am of Euro heritage (2nd generation in the US), so I see what you're saying. But that doesn't erase the legacy of these of very problematic historical facts of how white men empirically and actually behave(d) in the world.
It is very easy to see that the OP is white because the post veils (not very well) a stereotype of black athletes.
The NFL is a mixed bag of personalities and so forth. It is hyper-patriotic to please the patriots and nationalists. It emphasizes narratives of success while overcoming great odds (rags to riches or American dream). It creates good versus evil scenarios or plot lines. It is overtly violent.
At times, I think a people from an assortment of backgrounds and beliefs question their fandom, but a huge number of people still watch because the NFL is entertainment and involves all the elements of a soap opera or dramatic film.

Between - -
Penalties -an average of 14 per NFL game ACCEPTED
Rules - changing then each year especially involving kick-offs, tackling and now soon to come punting to meet the players abilities
Taunting - allowing it on each and every play but calling a penalty on it only selectively
Celebrations - for an interception, fumble recovery or a TD
And Finally - - lowering the overall beauty of a great game with excellent athletes by allowing street thugs with no respect for anyone but themselves to become football hero's. It's going to be a sad ending for those of us that love the game.
I agree with 1 & 3. Number 2 is okay for reducing head injuries.
I disagree with 4 & 5.
4. Celebrations are pretty fun to watch.
5. A bit more problematic. There are as many good old traditional heroes in the NFL as ever. The Bradys, Wittens, Mannings, Brees and so on.
Then, there are the anti-heroes like the Ramseys, Newtons, and Lynches.
But the NFL has had this dimension for a long time. Think Deion Sanders or Romanowski vs. Barry Sanders or Montana.
In terms of thugs, who do you mean?
What constitutes a thug?

I really concerned with the level of talent this regime can bring in. They have killed it in the draft but their pro scouting must be the worse in the league. I can't think of a single valuable player McBean has brought in
Agreed. They have to bring in at least one sure thing. Golden Tate with Allen would work. Tate is very solid and always performs.

That is a difficult question.... when people talk about quarterbacks and they talk about “it” factor , it is almost the same with a Deep threat WR
all the great deep threats have an “it” factor... and what most coaches and scouts see as the “it” factor is the ability of the receiver to kick into “another gear” when the ball is in the air
a natural phenomena...
desean jackson , Sammy Watkins, Ty Hilton, tyreek Hill etc all have a natural ability to kick it into overdrive when the ball is in the air deep down field... add an extra 2-5 mph and track it down
Foster sometimes loses a step when he starts tracking... he needs to keep that extra gear and find it when the ball goes up... it’s something he is really inconsistent at
He can set up a nice route and beat his man... but when the ball is up 50-60 yards downfield he loses a step
He seems to track over his shoulder the whole time which slows him down . He needs to find the ball in the air... then sprint to the spot and then locate and make a play
he finds the ball, and then tries tracking it while running which slows him down a tad... he needs to react and just fly
Exactly. Cunningham to Moss, for example.

And plenty of women choke pregnant men, too!
