I hope they choose Kaepernick. That will be the nail in their coffin — the Wellstone funeral writ large.

Trump and Bezos have had — by far — the most impact on the nation and planet.

no matter who they select, NOBODY is going to pay money for their magazine or the article. Wasted money paid for advertisers.

Around 2040, folks will be looking back at how the NFL was destroyed as a legit business and sport. A lot of talk will be over the head injury business....but it really went to sinking quicker with the Kaepernick ‘trick’. All of these NCAA guys are looking at a business model that will dissolve their opportunities in life by their mid-20s.

If TIME picks this scumbag, I’m going to buy a copy and take a big steaming dump on it, photograph it, and post it to both TIME’s and Kapernick’s twitter accounts.

She directed the “Wonder Woman” movie, and she has a vagina.

Trump was smart to opt out - the rest of the list is a real rogues gallery ...

Wonder woman was a good movie. But how is the producer of that movie, who happens to be a woman, somehow a legitimate newsmaker of the year? Just for that movie? Just because she’s a woman in a man’s world? Has she done anything newsworthy?

Look at Time’s list.

They didn’t have any women. No woman did anything notable this year. Certainly not Hillary. But they can’t have a list with no women. So they found a woman who made a movie about a woman. Voila! Newsmaker!

Every single one on their list except President Trump is anti-American or an outright enemy of our country.

How Time has fallen, in my opinion.

In 1956, the Man of the Year was the Hungarian Freedom Fighter. For you younger folks who don’t know, a revolution in Hungary in 1956 to overthrow the Communist government was succeeding, until the revolt was crushed by Soviet tanks.

Time recognized the desires of the Hungarian people as something to be respected as the major news story if the year

We have gone from legitimate news events which affect the world, to pop culture horse blank such as Colin capernick. Amazing

What is Wonder Woman about?

Miss Teen South Carolina grows up and wonders about things? Like whether the body of water at the South Carolina coast is the Pacific Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico? Or where is the Iraq? Or whether pigs have wings?

Timeline is WWI.

An American pilot, Steve Trevor, working with British Intelligence, crashes his plane near the hidden Island of the Amazons, who are more than human. He informs the Amazon Queen of a great war being waged all over the globe. Although the mission of the Amazons is to oppose Ares the God of War, the Queen refuses to help Capt Trevor, feeling that the world of men is a lost cause. Princess Diana, however, decides to accompany him to the front lines to help fight the War To End All Wars. She assumes the identity of his secretary, Diana Prince.

Although she has been taught that the world of men is not worth anything, she grows to value the wider world, despite its obvious flaws. She foils a terrible plot involving poison gas, and defeats, but does not destroy Ares, who is orchestrating the great conflict. Her dream of ending war escapes her but she survives and, being more than human, does not age. Princess Diana is alive in “the present day” where she is known to Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent and a few others.

Yes. Please. He should definitely get the nod for single-handedly destroying the NFL.
