What can one do against irrational hate?

http://www.history.com/news/how-teddy-roosevelt-saved-football

President Teddy Roosevelt "interferes" in football and saves the sport. He is on Mount Rushmore. President Obama simply answers a question about football and becomes an "imbecilic pansy" bent on destroying the American way of life.

http://www.newsday.com/sports/football/teddy-roosevelt-helped-keep-football-alive-1.3772282
The safety issues facing modern-day football may seem new, but they're actually as old as the game itself.
The first moment of crisis for football came long before self-inflicted deaths of men such as Dave Duerson and Junior Seau, or Kurt Warner saying he hopes his sons do not play football.
It occurred more than a century ago when, after the 1905 season, a large public outcry was heard that the barbaric sport of football should be banned.
"The parallels are striking," said John J. Miller, who wrote the book "The Big Scrum: How Teddy Roosevelt Saved Football," which was released last year and has just come out in paperback at a time when its themes are startlingly familiar. "There's clearly a link between then and now, and football has an issue to deal with today."

You know what...you are right! We all should be so thankful and blessed that Obama and the Democrat and Republican's allow us to do so much freely as we do! We are so blessed to have them to provide for us as they do!

I grew up poor and did not have the government to pay for my cell phone and cigarettes!

Hell we were so poor, my dad used to bring us to KFC just so we could lick other people's fingers!

All Praise Government!

I may have many problems with Obama, but this is not one of them. He simply stated that he'd have to think about it.

My parents thought long and hard about this issue when I was a kid and my Mom even tried to convince me not to play. This isn't really news IMO.

I would actually rather him spend more time on football questions & NCAA brackets. That's less time that he can spend doing a terrible job with literally everything else.

I'd rather have ODS than several of your guy's cases of OBS. Obama Boner is a serious condition. If Obama Boner lasts longer than his first 2 awful years in office you should speak with a mental health professional immediately as it could be a serious side effect of brain damage.

If his son were to be as much of a team player as he is, I imagine most coaches and players would be happy for the son not to play football.

I agree. I would compare this to listening to Bernie Madoff talk about immigration issues. I might agree with him, I might not, but he is such a piece of crap that I really dont want to hear him speak about anything. With all due respect of course.

Looks like you are a little too concerned with other peoples bonners. :tongue:

But seriously, a thread of outrage over BO answering a direct question about something very much in the news?:rolleyes: There are good reasons to criticize BO, this is not one of them.

Personally, I'm not outraged. And by the way, it's one "n", not two.

I agree Bamaro. However, Obama does seem to be jonesing over having a boy. Can Michelle get preggers again? Will the nation be so lucky?

unless the question refers to any number of things that are ACTUALLY related to the office he holds.... in which case, he will defer to a member of his cabinet..... oh and it'll be a couple of months

Blind worship of Obama is proof of either mental inferiority, or long con trolling.

There's no way some of you guys believe that the man is incapable of doing wrong. That's not truly possible is it?
