I’m glad the NFL is cracking down on this.
Kids watch these games. No need for stuff like this in the NFL presented by DraftKings.
Let the kids find out about beer the way they should… through the hundreds of NFL sponsored Bud Light commercials per game.
It’s been nuts to watch a facist government install every classic facist technique in the playbook all while people try and look at you in the eyes and say “Trump isn’t a facist”
People keep saying Trump term II is the most corrupt administration ever, so I built a model to find out if it was true.
I took the UN's definition of corruption, turned it into eight criteria and 100 points, and scored the leaders history remembers for looting their countries: Marcos, Suharto, Mobutu, Abacha, Obiang, Putin.
Then I put every president since Eisenhower on the same scale, both parties, with every exoneration counted right alongside the convictions.
Nixon scored 41 and no other American President scored over a 25.
Trump's second term scored a 91, which ties him with Suharto and Mobutu and puts him above Marcos and Abacha.
So he is not only the most corrupt president in American history. At this pace he finishes his term level with the most corrupt rulers of the last hundred years.

Incredible journalism.
60 Minutes has a convicted felon go undercover to talk to “pardon brokers,” people who will try to get you a pardon from Trump if you pay them.
This administration’s corruption has created entire new job categories.
