Ya, miss the Swede in a big way. Some crazed union boss probably melted down and got him.

Why not just move the thread?Quote:
There's a very short list of rules for this forum. I mean ridiculously short. Keep the Packer forum about football only. If you want to have a hissy fit about Obama, we gave you an entire section to do so. I was actually interested to come here and see what people thought about college athletes being paid as union workers and it turned into the typical political bullshit.
The discussion of the NLRB is by definition a political discussion, as I was pointing out until you threw a hissy fit and locked the thread. Stop acting like politics is airborne AIDS when the thread is a discussion of football and politics intersecting. Or don't. Discussing Marshall Newhouse's departure is great material.
Again, due to what the NLRB is and how it functions, this is not a story about college football. College football was simply another way to advance of sociopolitical agenda, which, again, is unfortunate. The legitimacy of the ruling is at best legally dubious, not that it ever mattered to the board. The decision was about politics and unions. It was not about football, or law, or fairness, or precedent.
You can ignore that if you want, but doing so renders any discussion as useless as the "decision," which was never in any doubt. As others have pointed out, compensation and rules for college athletes is a fine and interesting topic of conversation, but if you want to discuss the implications of the NLRB ruling, then the discussion is necessarily political. Just as discussing homosexuality is necessarily a discussion about sexuality. Well, an honest discussion is anyway.
The bottom line is there will never be an end to people flame throwing and to people who can't take it. And lost in that shuffle is the stuff that makes the subject interesting, namely the truth and carefully considered evaluation and opinion.
