If so my response to the left is you can stick you know where!!!
Speaking for myself, I have anyone who engages in domestic violence or defends it in my cross hairs. I know that conservatives, being the kind of people they are, oftentimes like to defend it, but I strongly believe it to be unjust to the victims.

True fun is dangerous at times and you can get hurt. That is when it becomes PUC and do-gooders come out in droves with their PC BS. Lawyers like to get involved as well.
What true fun are you talking about....beating your wife or significant other

I will say, though... I view most NFL players and pro athletes as general idiots not worthy of the money they earn or the outsized respect they get.

But I feel the same way about Hollywood / reality TV / pop music types as well.

I am aware of this. The NFL proper, a "non-profit" still makes billions on licensing and sponsorships.

I have no desire to subsidize them, whether I watched boring ass sports or not.

Just a little fact the incidence of sexual abuse, spouse abuse, all of these criminal acts in the NFL is 13% what it is in the general population. So again why is left targeting the NFL!

And you'll then notice an uncanny positive correlation between many of these same people saying that stuff and then coming on here and expressing all the typical points of right-wing dogma...

Just saying. And I haven't seen any of the typically-considered "liberals" around here defend these instances child abuse and domestic violence...only some of the conservatives.
