NFL has eroded into fodder for the plebeians...just like in ancient Rome. It gave the disgruntled an avenue/outlet for their hostility.... redirected from being exploited by their government. It's the modern-day coliseum...a satiation/diversion for the masses.

I project my own morality on the group of owners? What the **** are you talking about? That doesn't even make sense. I'm not applying any morals when considering the possibility of a league wide conspiracy. Of course they painstakingly vet new owners. Why on earth wouldn't they? They're 32 billionaires in a profit sharing group. There's thousands of reasons why they would vet new owners, which don't involve any morality. Legit simple business reasons that are employed in other profit sharing organizations. That makes infinitely more sense than some elaborate conspiracy. Again, you're getting locked onto one of the craziest and most unreasonable explanations to your question, and ignoring any other possible explanation. You are the one convinced you've got the answer, when I'm saying there's many different explanations and the best ones don't involve any type of conspiracy at all. You can't even acknowledge that as a possibility. Until you can overcome that simple obvious flaw in your analysis, you'll remain another confirmation bias nutcase.

You imply that Hunt was in on this NFL fix, and just didn't care and allowed an "Obvious fix" to happen to his team? LOLWUT? So there's a giant conspiracy involving 32 teams, and the majority of the teams just accept getting screwed over and letting the predetermined teams win? And that sounds like the most likely explanation to you? How can you not see the flaw in your thinking there? Why would you not even consider an alternative explanation that is much more likely? You know... like Occam's Razor says you should. The fact you don't give that any consideration should be a direct indicator that you've got serious confirmation bias.

The NFL doesn't profit off of me. They haven't for some time. I don't trust them at all. I understand they are greedy cut-throat rich dudes who would do almost anything for more money. So the pre-determined box you're attempting to put me in doesn't apply. Yet I also understand what's actually feasible, and acknowledge that the NFL can make a bajillion dollars without any need for any dumb conspiracy that wouldn't be possible anyway. But go ahead and tell us all how none of us actually has it figured out, but you do, and that you're the only one who can see the pattern of this impossibly complex conspiracy which there's no actual evidence for. Tell me again how you're the open minded one....

if your 'heirs' didn't originate from the original 13 colonies, you are by default a slave to the system. :D

I'm not going to read through all of this but the call wasnt wrong. But if it were the Packers... It wouldn't have been called. But we aren't the Packers so that's our fault. Damn SB 1...

What a shitty draft to get our 1/1 draft pick to be Eric Fisher how was he the best there was to be offered?

He at least had that good game to put JJ Watt to shame but he is no bull dog he may not have given up much sacks but for 1/1 draft pick I would want a Willie Roaf esk LT


Maybe I'm greedy and want better but uhg.

This thread needs to die a sudden death, just like our season.

I don't agree, not being outraged enough is at least part of why Hunt feels no pressure. And we'll probably have to fuel the plane (again) before this situation is fixed too.

2nded.


Since it's been all but confirmed that in the past writers / various other types of media personalities have lifted topics, arguments, viewpoints, theories, etc off CP, and seemingly adopted them for their own takes, why not keep it going?

Maybe they'll decide to lift the information and raise it in the media?

Granted, the game in question may be dead and buried as far as the NFL, media, and fans around the country are concerned, but there's still 3 games remaining this season. Not to mention next season.

Obviously, I am primarily concerned with the Chiefs, but enough people around here watch multiple games on a weekly basis. Home DVR, YouTube, All 22 and the rest gives anyone ample access to document shady calls or instances where the officiating is unevenly applied for or against one team or the other.

I'd kinda like to see a repository of outright terrible officiating because I think it would make the problem a lot more crystal clear as well as illuminate the bias that exists for certain teams favored by the NFL.

Those not interested and which this thread would die. Simple solution : stop ****ing clicking on the topic and reading the new posts.

NJChiefsFan 01-21-2017 06:09 PM

Have we gone through the game and looked for chiefs holding Steelers? Would be right in the interest of finding a real bias in the game. I personally couldn't stomach that right now.
