I disagree. Atlanta is killing us on short yardage. Get 3, make it a 2 score game. It’s only the 3rd quarter.

Great halftime show. Eric Church was kinda random

And here’s a phantom flag to save the falcons drive

Ivar’s, Smiling Dog, Brickyard, Danny’s, O’Hara’s, Pelican to Mars should all be decent spots to watch it. I don’t know what places will be truly hype, though.

Best at what? Killing people? Destroying their countries? Surviving long enough to maintain control?

People are more motivated by disgust than by fear, and the transgender issue tends to trigger a universal “ick” in conservatives.

The big reason is because of Title IX, though. College sports are a big deal as scholarships to play them exist as a massive pipeline for lower and middle class kids to get access to higher education. Women’s sports, thanks to title ix, tend to offer a lot more varied opportunities for women and have helped countless women become college educated who otherwise never would have been able to.

Men, on the flip side, tend to face much stiffer competition to get scholarships for a much smaller number of sports. So, there is an incentive for men who cannot get a scholarship in men’s sports (either because the competition is too fierce for them or because men’s scholarships for that sport are not offered where women’s are) to compete in women’s sports instead.

This was obviously against the rules and a complete violation of why women’s sports existed, but the transgender movement essentially created a loophole for men to take scholarship opportunities away from women. This upset a LOT of people despite it being a very rare occurrence. Few took issue with women competing in men’s sports. The standpoint being that if women were good enough to beat men for a roster spot, that they could have it. However, due to biology, it is assumed (and often confirmed by statistical fact) that women’s sports were significantly less competitive than men’s sports (ie, that the best male athletes would inevitably outperform the best female athletes in virtually any sport due to intrinsic biological differences between men and women).

Finally, there is the bathroom portion. Parents don’t feel comfortable with their daughters sharing their bathrooms with young men. The risks that creates simply by entertaining it under the best of situations is seen as unmanageable and wholly unnecessary.

Just like most anti-gay rhetoric is aimed at gay men, anti-trans rhetoric is aimed at trans women. Women who can pass as men, like lesbians, rarely illicit much outrage because it is seen as either less gross, or because it is less likely to present a social advantage.

Personally, yes. Politically, no. As in, I would personally enjoy the result hypothetically, but I would actually be appalled if our government actually followed through with a policy to do so, as I believe it would require some pretty blatant violations of our Constitution and founding principles as well as provide an incredibly slick slope towards much worse tyrannies.

If the GOP loses the house or Senate, that will be a disaster. Personally, I think the GOP will maintain narrow majorities in both houses, but they were doing incredibly well before starting the Iran conflict.

I would rather glass the country than waste lives trying to invade and occupy it.
