BillBrasky Memorial Political Chat Thread

Last night’s at Neyland Stadium, Tennessee fans delayed the game 20 minutes by throwing trash on the field after Tennessee fell short on a crucial 4th and 24 down 5 with under a minute left. The Tennessee cheerleaders, dance team, and band left the stadium for their safety even though the game wasn’t even over becauseTennessee had 3 timeouts. The Vols got the ball back with a chance to win.

That was an impromptu sports miniature version of Jan 6. Events like that will continue until there are real consequences to discourage such behavior. These assholes need to learn to take the damn L instead of throwing violent temper tantrums because they feel like they’re entitled to win.

Suitable punishment would be no spectators in Neyland for the rest of the season

Could have done without the political comparison. Dumbass fans mixed with booze are a tale as old as time.

Maybe at a WWE event where fans throwing things is part of the show. Not at a college sports event. Did you see how much trash made it on the field? This isn’t just typical drunk fans doing drunk things.

Seems appropriate given this is the political chat thread.

Which is why I posted it on the Tunnels instead of the Sports board. #knowyourforums

A much better example would be Russia collusion.

That’s not a good comparison at all. The Russian investigation lasted 2 years and was conducted to determine if Russia interfered with the election and/or compromised Trump and the Republican party.

The other two events both lasted hours and involved people engaging in violence because something didn’t go their way.
 
I do think we’ve gone feral since the pandemic started
 
 
 
Regarding Senator Manchin’s demands, here is an apropos article describing the “Climate Gap” - that is the disproportionate and unequal burden or danger of climate change that is experienced by the poor working class vs the wealthy

“Postcard From Thermal: Surviving the Climate Gap in Eastern Coachella Valley
In the climate crisis, it’s possible to live in the same place but inhabit different worlds.
by Elizabeth Weil and Mauricio Rodríguez Pons

To understand how the climate gap was playing out in California, we decided to take a close look at the Coachella Valley, a 45-mile stretch of desert along the San Andreas fault that contains some of the state’s famously fertile agricultural land and some of California’s most renowned playgrounds for the rich.

On the west side, the Palm Springs side, are money-green golf courses, misters spraying from palm trees, wide, gorgeously paved roads, and a concert series called Splash House that features a poolside stage.

On the east side, the Thermal side, is a gray-green checkerboard of fallow and irrigated fields of grapes, bell peppers and golf-course turf, plus stands of date palms. Interspersed are sun-bleached trailers, homes for the people who work those fields and clean the pools and hotel rooms farther west.
The climate gap that defines the Coachella Valley is even more stark within Thermal itself.

The unincorporated community’s full-time residents are 99% Latino and 78% immigrant noncitizens. Between March and May 2021, more households per capita received rental assistance in Thermal than in any other city or unincorporated community in Riverside County...”
 
I suppose it’s a form of irony that climate change and “California regulations” regarding minimum wage and agricultural working conditions are driving agricultural production from California to Mexico, where so very many of the agriculture labor force came from to find work.
