Re: Best Mardi Gras parade taking shot at NFL
A Packers fan tried to lecture me how "you guys down there need to just get over it and move on, you're ruining your own holiday". I promptly told him to **** off. Don't live down here, don't tell us how to celebrate Mardi Gras.

Just last year Packers fans, their front office lobbied heavily after two late losses, both involving costly Clay Matthews unnecessary roughness flags, saw the league adjust those calls late last season... As a young man, schools, media indoctrination would teach that I was flawed as an American as I was from the South... When I traveled the country as a leader in my fraternity, my objective experience revealed that some of the most intolerant bigots and hypocrites were in the MidWest, MidAtlantic and PacWest states... While I made great friendships there, there were just as many jerks like you described with that "You guys down there need to just take it and like it" attitude, but when it's them - knock over the gameboard... Traditionally, we've always mocked, even self-deprecated (not defecate) ourselves with our Mardi Gras themes on politics, sports, religion, race (even Zulu mocks the world in black-face)... Only in the past few years have we let some political correctness movement creep into New Orleans to ruin what once was the healthiest, most honest attitude with that approach on sensitive topics... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Re: Best Mardi Gras parade taking shot at NFL
This is still getting a lot of positive national attention. Everyone knows that we got screwed and it's getting good reviews around the nation because they know that we deserved to make it a better Super bowl! Anyone who can't see that needs to become an NFL referee!

Also the Chiefs want overtime rules changed now after losing to the Pats. Rather than just admitting their defense blew it on multiple 3rd down and long situations, they want the rules changed. And people ask me why I respect the Pats as a team. This is why lol. People label them "cheaters" and cry endlessly when they lose, meanwhile they just keep on moving forward. |
