Is Ray Lewis right here? Will crime actually increase if there is no NFL? Are people that close to being morally corrupt that the only thing separating them from crime is a fuckin' football game? Are people really that petty and stupid?

Same question for the rest of the world. Would crime increase if they took away your beloved "football"? Wait, what am I asking, you have crime BECAUSE of "football".

I daresay you could argue either side of the argument and be correct to a certain degree.

The devil makes work for idle hands.

Its why the military workfare system works, if the military were smaller crime would be higher.

So you are saying, regardless as to which side of the coin, people really are that close to moral corruption, and pettiness, lack of respect for one another, and out right stupidity?

Yes.

Also - Half the population is below average intelligence.

A lot of people get passionate when it comes to sport. All logic and rationale goes out the window at around the same time.

The military is a very small percentage of the overall population. You're confusing the amount of military spending with the number of people in uniform.

Oh, and that's a ridiculous argument.

That's a great picture to paint of your fanbase - a bunch of impulsive fools who'll start committing crimes if they can't get their Sunday fix.

I know personally the only thing that stops me from going on a shooting spree is Sunday night football.

So, I was just reading about this NFL lockout deal.

Why are the players unhappy? Is the millions of dollars they get paid a year not enough?

The NFL is making money hand over fist and the players want a bigger cut of the record profits. They are arguing they incur a lot of risk and aren't compensated enough for the potential risk and that the NFL doesn't do enough to make sure the players upon leaving the NFL.

Their argument falls apart once you you find out that the NFL admits being a player isn't a ticket to the good life and that the NFL provides a shit load of post NFL career counseling services, training programs, financial management courses etc. The thing is the players don't use the resources the NFL puts in front of them. They are terribly underutilized.

naggers want the money up front.

What's wrong with the players wanting more money? Here's a novel idea: get rid of the salary cap. Then you don't have to worry about percentages and other bullshit.
