    No, I took at face value...like I do many other posts. It "sounded" like you were just out for liberal belittling like so very many do here.

    Since you went out of your way to edit your post to add a nice little belittling dig at the end then I know that I was correct.

    ABC corporate management: social revolutionaries - or just limousine "liberals" conforming to peer pressure? Which is more likely?

    Ok, fair enough.

    Edit to add...
    But I don't actually have to go out of my way to edit a post. The edit link is right here on my computer screen, right next to the post link.

    No kidding. You still took the time to add the barb/dig.

    Then you posted a second one in your "cutesy" edit tag.

    You know, I saw that promo as well, but it wasn't during the game, it was during one of the other shows on the same network.

    Now, because I see all the problem it's caused, I'm gonna check out that particular episode to see what it really says. Just like other places, they give you enough on the promo for the show to get you to watch, usually by picking out the parts that look the most controversial.

    I'll let you know how racist and anti Trump that particular episode of Blackish was after I watch it.

    Not sure, don't really care either. Peer pressure or not these people decided to do something they knew would hurt their income. In the world of big business that is a cardinal sin. So whatever their reasons were they were strong enough to do that to themselves.

    In another thread I read a member saying all of these celebrities who whine about Trump need to grow a pair and do it in front of a NASCAR crowd, or an NFL game and stop preaching to the choir.

    Well ABC did it in front of an NFL game. Bottom line is that is a stupid business decision to insult over half of your clientele. ABC did it, so whatever reason they have is admirable in my book. I respect that.

    I couldn't help it. You seemed to be attacking me because I was making fun of a guy in a silly picture. A picture that was specifically taken to be laughed at. You seemed to be really going out of your way to defend the picture guy almost as if you knew him.
    The "dig" was just too tempting. My character wasn't strong enough to ignore it.

    Not many are enraged here. I haven't personally seen anyone enraged. I care just barely enough to note it here. Heck, when superbad and I agree on something, that 3 people are enraged? - I mean, come on.

    You could look in the mirror for starters, then look around this very thread.

    The better choice would be not to try offending a huge swath of one's core audience. But hey, that's just me.

    Well, you're making progress. At least you're starting to realize an NFL football does not look like a white sphere.

    Ahh wait a minute I see what happened and why the misunderstanding. I think you missed the beginning of the picture conversation.

    That picture was posted because someone was trying to make fun of conservatives that watch NFL football. The guy in the pic was supposed to mockingly represent those conservatives. However someone accidentally posted a picture of a man with a soccer ball. Being that soccer is mainly a European sport and that Europeans are liberal when compared to Americans, I turned the joke around on him and said he inadvertently mocked liberals.

    I didn't attack liberals unjustly. I just turned the tables on a guy attacking conservatives.

    Now I have to stop with this conversation about that picture. If someone asked me what I did today I'd be really embarrassed to explain that I argued over a picture of a beer bellied guy watching a soccer game.

    Well, they were certainly politically correct - how could they not be? OTH, the impact on ABC and the NFL will have a minimal impact on the net worth of current management. Note also that the true nature of of Kaepernick's complaints remain virtually ignored.

    I didn't defend the picture at all. I asked why you assumed he was liberal. At the time it didn't seem like a joke. My mistake.

    Fair enough.

    Roflol at the last part.

    Is belittling people of the opposite political spectrum something you generally decry?

    Just saw the commercial for the 1st time. On the CFP National Championship game.
    I actually thought it was funny. Certainly nothing to get anyone's panties in a wad.

    Did you have a good laugh when the Tea Party had its anger and tear filled rallies and when the radical pundit committed suicide?

    I DVR the show and in general i enjoy it.. The only episode i did not like was the "Cops are all racist" episode..

    Funny show when they dont devote that episode soley to politics.

    It's just a TV show, and comedy too. So what? And what do you know about who NFL fans are? I'm a hard core football fan who wants to play violent 1970s rules, I don't care about the players health and I don't care if their brains turn into mush, it was their choice to play. And I'm far to the left of Bernie Sanders on most issues.

    Honestly, the only thing offensive here -

    - is that gay Dr. Who scarf. Tom Baker, he ain't.

    Just the same as the retarded claim that white people are born racist and are responsible for what happened 200 years ago.
