This is a problem that is seen across all sports, and it’s really disheartening.
Being passionate about your team is one thing, but assaulting other people for wearing their team gear (even if your team didn’t lose) is criminal and rudimentary.
Do better
Scott Pelley issues new statement after being fired by CBS for opposing their pro-MAGA bias:
“New management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them.
Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done.
Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.”

And for this, regardless of other controversies, is why the Clinton administration was one of the best in modern history.
Seriously most before and all after have done nothing but put America in unsustainable debt.
In 1998, the United States achieved its first federal budget surplus in 29 years, effectively ending a streak of deficits that had lasted since 1969.
This milestone was achieved under President Bill Clinton, following the passage of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, which resulted in a fiscal surplus of approximately $69 billion for that year.
Tim Dillon on Thomas Massie’s loss: “I don’t know how you run a country where people can just dump $32 million into a race.”
“This guy who’s like, release the Epstein files.”
“Prosecute pedophiles.”
“Get out of foreign wars.”
“He loses to a guy who’s like: let’s cover up the Epstein files.”
“Let’s not prosecute pedophiles.”
“Let’s go to war with your kids.”
“You would think just platform to platform, that’s a tough sell.”
“If you spend enough money, you can just create any reality you want.”
“No one knows who the hell the other guy is.”
“He was just handpicked, came out of nowhere … was like, ‘we gotta get kids back into the military, we gotta get them to Iran now.’”
“You would think that’s probably not a super popular idea.”
“Let’s get your son out of the house and into Iran.”
“You would think that as ideas go, that’s probably a relatively hard sell.”

Here's how the corruption works:
Thursday: RJ Reynolds donates $5M to Trump
Saturday: Trump invites RJR execs to Mar a Lago; execs ask to loosen regs on flavored vapes; Trump calls up RFK Jr. and tells him to change it
Friday: FDA changes the policy

They loved Marjorie Taylor Greene, now they hate her.
They loved Thomas Massie, now they hate him.
They loved Lauren Boebert, now they hate her.
They made fun of Biden for nodding off ("Sleepy Joe), now they ignore Trump outright falling asleep.
They put "I Did That" Biden stickers on high gas prices, now they ignore gas prices being even higher.
They bragged about Trump being the no wars President, now they support war.
They bashed Biden for sending money to Ukraine, now they ignore Trump sending money to both Ukraine and Israel.
They demanded the Epstein files, now they bash anyone asking for the Epstein files.
To be a MAGA is to be a slave.
Not physically, but mentally.
They stand for nothing.
We're up against people who stand for nothing.
And with the most misplaced confidence you've ever seen, they try to tell us whats-what.
We shouldn't even acknowledge these people.
The Trump supporters that remain are mentally too far gone.
I don't even want to argue with them anymore.
