There are dumb people in the world

This is not as far-fetched as you would make it out to be. It could be very simply about Franchise-values...simply put, if you bought something for $300m in 2000, and they came to you and noted that it will be worth $2-$3 BILLION in several years if you play along, I suspect owners will go along with it... It could have been communicated very innocently. "hey, owners, we know there is no more money, really, in in-stadium Revenue or value. The tickets and seats aren't getting more expensive and the stadiums can't get bigger. Instead, we are signing this MEGA contract with these Cable/Television networks (back then) that have gobs of money because idiot Americans just pay for cable bundles, but that's our ticket. The ONLY thing they ask for is that we have appropriate, exciting matchups on TV at the right time. This may mean we'll have to endeavor to ensure the "right" teams are on at the "right times" and the right teams are good, most of the time. We'll give you a bone every so often, but by and large your job will be keep the masses appeased and collect huge dividends and see your franchise values erupt well above the debt used to purchase the Team" Whether implicit or explicit the League could then orchestrate through various mechanisms outcomes they desired. Just spit-ballin' here

Sometimes, you don't need to get dragged into the details. The American Left is a destructionary device. It's as simple as that. Not build, destroy. You don't understand that becuase you subscribe to this or that little pedantic issue that fills your mind/day, and aren't able to conjure a realistic picture, but that's what's happening and what's further planned. Stop worrying about the little stuff. There should be LESS government, in most all instances

It's not "Biden" He's merely a symptom. Unfortunately, as predicted by historians (because it happens throughout history), civilizations eventually become soft, forget what "got them there", then succumb to a Leftist slide into self-destruction (that is categorized miscorrectly as being conquered but that's not right). Biden is a symptom. The American and Global Left are the problem. Unequivocally.

He would have felt constrained by societal norms? That's what I keep hearing from the (clueless) Biden Administration about just about everything The Pacification of America has spread to Europe (or, more likely, they've adopted the same view)

That is an awesome ad. Poor guy is joining the wrong side, strategically, per se, but no doubt he'll do right by all of us by all accounts. He's not the problem here. Unless he becomes some insane lockstep voter who says yes everytime some moronic Leftist asks for more money or some stupid law

No, no, NO It's the MESSAGING Gotta work to get the messaging right on how awesome the Biden Admins' policies have been

Because he's a zero-clue Leftist just tossing out verbiage with no meaning, which is how they live.

So dumb. Yeah, they should ALL just sit in the same neighborhoods in our Southern border states forever... The Federal Gov't, which theoretically manages the border, has no responsibility for managing the outcomes of their failures, I guess. (Democrat policies)

Leftists just simply don't understand the world, it's sad. It's a brutal place, cordoned off by men/women with principles and courage. Leftists have none of this, and they have no clue how to handle these events. Geezus, disgusting, just go away

Real Life Emperor Has No Clothes, before our very eyes Was that Hans Christian Andersen?

It's happening Its a fad, but definitely real Kids are idiots (and thats mostly OK)

Yeah, and lose your career and life for not having done anything. Welcome to the Biden Years.

Wrong, that isn't how this works. The DA is supposed to protect Justice by only bringing cases that make sense. Nice try. They're going to bankrupt this hero, but you don't care, because.....

if I were his attorney, in no way would I allow any of these Dirtbag NYS and other Leftist Prosecutors get his DNA. Crazy. These people, those of the Means To An End Party, will stop at nothing. And frankly, I can't stand Trump, but this is a debacle of the American Justice system 9 jurors debated for THREE hours to find him not guilty of rape, but guilty of sexual whatever and defamation? Just hilarious.

the Left has ruined the Western Hemisphere.

This is so clueless it's not worth discussing. I'll just say, "Energy policy" is not a personal choice. Our society is in deep trouble with these radical Leftist Biden cabal members in charge of ANYTHING, much less any form of Energy policy.

He's, uh, the best we've got?

Yeah....before that there was virtually no voting, anywhere, by anybody...almost never...so, they got the ball rolling, imperfectly as you like to remind.... I do know that American Leftists are going to love living under King/Queen rule, it is what they desire.

I could be annoying and just say whatever the opposite of Democrat plan is, but that would be like the anti-Trumpers... First, I would back the police, let them know that we're cracking down on crime and the BS is over. Hire more Police Officers, even if you have cut from some other dumb (non-essential, assume there are lots of these) social programs to pay for it. Announce to the city that Law & Order is back; establish a short-term curfew if you have to like they did in Miami; but arrest and detain people who commit crimes so that eventually it becomes apparent to law-breakers that it's a bad idea. I'm not sure I'm for "Stop & Frisk" type policies, but Leftist hero Mayor Bloomberg did it so maybe that's a good idea? Announce that taxes are not going up for two years. Evaluate areas of Gov't that are wasteful. Use those savings to pay for the tax program. Less crime and lower taxes are two things that will bring people and companies back, for starters. Then you have to eliminate do-nothing Socialists from the Gov't...not Social Workers or whatever, I'm talking the legions of people who don't do anything, of which there is inherently many because of the Labor Unions. I DO agree with the new mayor on creating public/private partnerships to create jobs and opportunities for young people and young adults. Don't care if it's filling potholes or covering graffiti, the work/income construct usually works in turning things around (if there's an ounce of moral fabric endemic to the place). FIX up downtown areas immediately...can't have a viable city if the chief business center is a mess. There are so many other issues related to taxes, finances, laws, etc but that's where I'd start. Above all, get RID of the Dems

That was Michigan Avenue, where you know, people go in Chicago. Time to wake up, your "system" simply doesn't work. Read up, learn, vote differently/better. This has to change and quick

This is the greatest/latest example that Totalitarianism erupts from the Left, not the Right. State takes control of your children. This would never come from the Rightists, only the Leftists.

You are missing A LOT of what's being lined up here. Don't fall for the "friction" between Russia & China, there is none. That is all a mirage to hide what's actually happening. The BRICs are aligning to eliminate the PetroDollar and destroy the US Reserve Currency construct (Brazil is in China today talking about shifting from US$). You may not have an appreciation for how important that is, but it doesn't mean it won't dramatically affect you when it does happen. This is the worst possible Administration hitting at the exact wrong time, unfortunately.

Short term yields have gone up faster than longer-term yields, because of Biden Admin’s decisions which other bonds would you have them buy?
