he was wrong about most of it.

Do Marines/Soldiers/Airmen/Sailors deserve to be paid more than athletes, nah I wouldnt say that.

But is all we do kill people?  Obviously not.  It takes an incredible amount of skill to be a sniper, fly planes/fighters/helicopters, conduct HUMINT interviews, jump from planes into tidal oceans (airforce pararescue).....in fact, most jobs outside of cooks/admin take an INCREDIBLE amount of skill.

Maaaan, I was sitting here reading and thinking to myself, "what have I done to the NFL thread?!?!" :lol:

But yea man Tampa was the only thing that really slowed down "The Greatest Show on Turf" that year. Damn Bert Emanuel Rule :smh:
 
It was a rough Game Day at Candlestick Park this Sunday, and not just for the Niners.
Fan violence once again reared its ugly head, with reports of several instances at the stadium.

A 15-year-old boy A 40-year-old man was sent to the hospital with a broken arm, broken nose and a concussion. And an attack on one of the Niners’ faithful fans has her considering never returning to the ‘Stick for another game.

The assault on the man — who police originally identified as a 15-year-old boy, but later corrected to 40-year-old man — happened early on in the game. Police say a 29-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of beating the man for allegedly urinating in his car.
A second attack took place as the game ended and the crowd made its way to the gates, according to victim Daisy Barringer.
Whether an arrest was made is not clear.
Barringer, 36, said she was kicked and punched by a female 49ers fan who heard Barringer make a comment to a Colts fan who had bumped into her.
“He didn’t even hear me, but this female Niners fan that was behind me and saw it and heard it and for no reason started laughing, ran toward me and shoulder-checked me really hard,” Barringer said. “Just out of instinct, I pushed her off of me. She just went ballistic and started kicking me.”
The woman ran off, and Barringer followed, trying to flag down security. She said she received a punch in the head and some more kicking from the woman before she got security’s attention.
Police arrived, and Barringer said she told officers she wanted to press charges. But the officers told her that the woman was saying that Barringer had assaulted her too, and that if they arrested the woman, they’d have to arrest Barringer, too.
Eventually, Barringer said she was told that the woman and her boyfriend were being taken away in a police car. She gave her contact information to the police, believing a police report would be filed.
She said she’s still sorting out what happened at Candlestick, and if her alleged assailant had actually been arrested. Police declined to comment on the case.
Barringer has been a season-ticket holder since 2007, and blogs recaps of Niners games for SFist. She bills herself as a die-hard 49ers fan, but said she no longer wants to go to her beloved Candlestick.
“There’s so much violence — it’s Niners fans on Niners fans, women assaulting women,” she said. “I just feel like it’s taken a dark turn. If we win, people drink too much and are happy drunk. Because we lost, it turned into anger. I’ve just had so many problems there.”
She said she’s seen this darkness before during a game against the Green Bay Packers. Niners fans took pleasure in heckling two Packers fans in her section, who were just there to enjoy the game. At a Raiders pre-season game, she said she’s experienced people groping her in the crowd.
“It just changed,” Barringer said. “I don’t usually make generalizations, but the caliber of fans has just gone downhill. People are looking for a fight, and I truly just don’t understand it. I just don’t understand any of this.”

This kinda stuff makes me not want to go to NFL Games
 
Not going to lie the last few times I've been to the stick almost threw down because there's so many people who go looking for funk. It's definitely not the whine and cheese crowd anymore. Better to watch it at home. Definitely not a place to bring your son or daughter.

Combat is life and death and football is a game. Thats all that needs to be said regarding skill. Processing that daily is alot I assume. But the original tweet was aboyt pay scale and I dislike people who just talk and actions say otherwise. Complaiing aboyt athlete salary when you watch the games
and but the merch bugs me. I was in the
drose threas saying the same

Pardon the typos. On my phone typing fast

But you're a Raiders' fan, isn't that story lightwork compared to your average San Diego @ Oakland game?

What does me being Raiders fan have to do with fan violence? Not every Raider fan is a convicted felon who goes and beat up other fans! It happens at all NFL Games
