There is just so much to crap take note of.

And, by the way, TigerClaws, there is nothing personal in that comment, I have had discourse with you many times over the years.

I feel that it is a simply a very personal decision to boycott or not. If it is not personal, and is mandated and one doesn’t agree with it, it becomes tyranny in my opinion.

At least for something like this.

Ever since Jordan and Rodman retired, I have watched zero basketball.

Like to see Rodman get a job at the State Department, maybe doing nonsense sign language at the briefings.
