  1. Correct, and it ties in with your previous point about the growing purchasing power of the black demographic, which naturally leads to greater attention from advertisers (shocking, I know). And to reiterate my earlier point, the biggest reason for the increase in interracial couples in ads is purely economic. If you are targeting families, and you need to hit all the demographics, it's hell of a lot more efficient to cast one interracial couple than to cast two couples of the same race. Nothing more, nothing less.
  2. Pretty stupid comments. But that's a lot of mouths for ABC to **** can. They should have had Roseanne meet an untimely death, and see how the show would work.
  3. Race relations improved from the 90's until 2012.
  4. Anybody else LOL'd after reading this: Washington Post’s David Nakamura wrote that “critics fear that a president determined to declare victory where his predecessors failed will allow his desire for a legacy-making deal to override the substance of the negotiations.” On the same day, the Washington Post’s Paul Waldman mocked Trump’s desire for a win, which he said was turning Trump into a fool who was getting played.
  5. How much time did they devote to the hero teacher in Indiana?
  6. The honest truth is they expect the inner city youth to protect them, since they're the ones with the guns.
  7. Cheaper than casting a black couple and a white couple in the ad.
  8. Or another way for Trump to troll CNN? That sounded like an awful planes, trains automobiles adventure
  9. It's definitely the latter recommendation - there's a minimum dollar floor of gate receipts that is shared with the visiting team. But again, that approach wouldn't change the total NFL revenue pool, it would just funnel more money to teams that charge more for tickets.
  10. I think we're talking about different percentages. I'm not arguing about changing the salary cap tie to percentage of total revenues. I'm talking about the split of gate receipts between the home and visiting teams. If the owners propose to change the gate receipt sharing formula, that won't affect the salary cap because all it will do is reshuffle the revenue allocation among the owners, yet league defined revenues will stay the same. But if that proposal will also force the smaller teams to then increase their ticket prices or find other ways to grow revenues, then the NFLPA will definitely support it.
  11. In this sense, NFLPA would be aligned with the majority owners because the end result would be to increase the overall revenue haul. That's why there's not that much griping about London games. They bring in more total revenues than if all games were played in Jax.
  12. The league definitely has leverage because they can threaten to change the revenue sharing formula from a percentage to a fixed minimum dollar amount. If the Bills keep falling behind, that will hurt them a lot.
  13. There is leverage from the league from the sharing of gate revenues. Last I recall was visiting teams get 40% of gate receipts, and as Buffalo keeps falling further behind, there definitely will be pressure from the other owners for Pegulas' to increase their contribution.
  14. Levi's. Worst amenities and crowd flow. Literally 1 hour wait at the concessions.
  15. There's nothing preventing Pegulas from providing that at an upgraded New Era. The beauty of the OP location is the unlimited land they can use for enhancing the fan experience. Kim is also guilty of a bit of double speak. If the owners concern is the drunken behavior, the easiest way to fix it is to double the ticket prices. It's the worst stadium that I've ever attended.
  16. Trump gonna be Trump. Impose new tarriff on imported cars on national security grounds, but help out ZTE
  17. So, you were in the negotiations when Bills contacted him about the contract redo?
  18. Aren't you jumping to a whole host of conclusions?
  19. And the significance of this to the Russia collusion investigation is ...
  20. Amazing how quickly Richie forgot how toxic he was to the league in 2015.
