she admitted to tapping a cop's helmet "very lightly to get his attention" is a lot different than "admitted hitting a cop".
This is taking things deliberately out of context... that elderly woman, and distinguished professor, absolutely did not need to be head tackled onto the pavement for "very lightly" tapping a cop to get his attention...
and fuck this patronizing, fascist apologist twitter tweeting tw... x? she couldn't hurt a cop or resist arrest if she wanted to. And even if she did (she didn't) she wouldn't need to be head tackled onto pavement.
And by law, in Georgia you can’t touch an officer when the officer is arresting someone. Even tapping the officer is cause for arrest. Period. End of the story.
"cause for arrest" does not, in any way, justify tackling an elderly woman and slamming her head on the concrete.
not period, not the end of the story, what in the fuck is wrong with you?
Right, because sports are so poor that they can barely afford their millions and millions of dollars in salaries - please help them. Won’t somebody think of the profit margins?
This one is kind of a shame. The current stadium is an edge-of-town monster in a sea of parking lots. And so it shall now continue to be for the indefinite future.
The new one was going to be a downtown fixture that would've been a huge boon for public transit, downtown activities, and neighborhood businesses in an area that, frankly, should be doing way better.
No one likes stadium projects, but this is a rare opportunity to show people a better future through practical urbanism. This move helps hold the city hostage by car dependency that much more.
The only way privately owned clubs should exist is like English football.
Where the owner pays for everything, and if you fuck up you get sent down and less money. I don’t think a team has ever moved locations, they’re that city’s team.
With the NFL, there is zero risk and a guaranteed return on investment thru profit sharing. 2022 was $375,000,000 to every team just for existing. And the salary cap ensures players can only get so much. You hear stories all the time about star players taking lower pay to help the team like they’re heros.
When really they should all be striking to remove the salary cap.
Hell, most of them only have a few years of good salary. Rookie contracts are a joke, and the majority never get a second. Get rid of the draft even. Let them sign where they want for whatever pay they want.
It’s all done under the guise of “fairness for the game” but who honestly thought the Lions have as good of a shot as the Chiefs?
Being drafted by the wrong team can (and has) literally ruined careers before. Trades are no better, imagine your job saying you had to move to a shit hole city or you could no longer work for any company in your industry
If the owners get all the benefits of capitalism, why are the players stuck in such a limited system?
