The NFL has catered to the lowest common denominator of thug culture for the last several decades, but is just now dissatisfied with the results it produced. Shoooocking.

You're not lying.

The NFL needs to clean up their own house as well. Some of these players have no business in professional sports no matter how good athletes they are.

[frank ballenger]

Ha.

As a refrigerator magnet phrased it:
I always thought old age would take longer to get here.

[MotorCityBuck]

LOL! You ain't lying.
Hopefully you have had the opportunity to visit Downtown Detroit lately. I know. The last 5 decades its been Sh*t,but there has been a consistent progress in the last 7-8 years. The Old Shillelagh is still there. Good Times, and Opening Day is just around the corner.

Bobcat Goldthwaite joke:”So, I ask the
guy WHY did you overturn that car?
He kinda looked at me sheepishly and
said, ‘(chuckle)...’Niners...’ “

2004 ALCS Red Sox come from behind 3 games
to 0 and win last 4 to beat Yankees.
Crowd on streets starts to get out of
hand. Police officer shoots pellet
gun and misses target, hitting
Victoria Snelgrove, 21—goes into
her brain and kills her. Boston
pays $5M to family in out of
court settlement.

Treating the symptom and not the cause, leads to perpetuity of violence...

In 2003 after the Sox won, the cops in Boston fired bean bags from shotguns near the Fenway. I think it killed one of the kids.

…A couple of jerks who “upgraded” their pistols to full auto mini machine guns. That will ruin any party.

[MotorCityBuck]

Yea. These things happen.

[Trailerpark Badass]

Yep. And very little chance they hit whomever they were actually aiming for.

[Alberta's Child]

I recommend outlawing Super Bowl victory parades.

And the Super Bowl, for that matter. And the NFL, too. :-P

[Drew68]

Yep. And very little chance they hit whomever they were actually aiming for.

Well, they did manage to kill a totally innocent bystander, a married mother of two, so there's that.

[Rummyfan]

Fine. Cancel the parades. Let the thugs shoot it out elsewhere.

[Mercat]

There have been riots in a lot of cities and shootings etc but until lasts week none in KC. But Mr. M and I have noticed that in Lawrence close to where we live there have been a lot more shootings and such with most of the troublemakers coming from Topeka and KCKS. And we now have a pretty substantial homeless problem. I won’t go down town, even in the daytime. I think that there will be a celebration when the Chiefs win for the third time but my guess is that the parade will go to the Kaufman stadium where they can provide better security.

[the OlLine Rebel]

You mean 2004?

[sphinx]

Championships are inherently exclusionary and should be abolished. Just hand out participation trophies. No more need for parades. Problem solved.

[KrisKrinkle]

“I always thought old age would take longer to get here.”

Mark Twain said something along the lines of : “Don’t worry about old age, it won’t last long.”

[Vermont Lt]

All of the championships in Boston…they just all blur together…LOL

“So apparently because of a few bad people we have to cancel parades? We cant demand good and decent behavior now?”

Except pride parades we won’t ban those.

Just ban aspiring rap artists
