The only valid point this guy made was the public funding of sport stadiums. Its a hard case to argue that people should pay taxes for a private industry. I've never looked at the economics of building the stadium if it brings enough money into the community and tax revenue to justify helping fit the bill.

You could tell right away this guy had a liberal bias when he refereed to the Tim Tebow add as anti-abortion instead of pro-life, that's political in itself. I didn't realize players didn't have free speech. So is this guy admitting that the left hates the military? He's calling the NFL cons because they have fly overs and give support for the military. I guess he doesn't remember "sports" in general falling in love with Obama.

"There's a lot of people that would find the Redskins very political." Fuck political correctness. It's gone WAAAAY over the top in recent years.

@Athiest2009 lofl i only do that when its a challege to win and its something like tyt when there isnt a CQOTD its a way to help the vid get known is to have a lot of comments and i like to win first when its a challege so i guess i am a tool in a way but its positive trolling so i dont think it counts as being a tool

@kazooga1234 True but you had the presence of mind not to say "first" like a tool. Bravo sir, bravo.
