Well, today’s been spent trying to figure out how to pay my protection racket to a professional organization that shall remain nameless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At least the guys in the fancy suits actually provide something worthwhile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the restaurant suggestions they give generally turn out to be worhtwhile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m also having major reflections on the NFL after seeing what the post-Awokening mob have done to the Redskins, and seeing this <\/a>on Twitter this morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I support a league that is so closely tied to the company that employs him as a spokesman? Should I?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This line of thinking was certainly feeding in to my back-and-forth with Robbie “The Fire”<\/a>. on Twitter yesterday:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He’d been talking about starting a corporation, the “F You Corporation,” that sells things apart from the woke mob.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I’ve been quietly doing that sort of thing, on my own, for years. I used to not need to advertise it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I say, “no,” to Nike, and the NFL?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah, I actually probably can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Would it make a difference?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have no idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I can leave<\/a>, and live my life as I choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(And, see, this is where I start in to the whole bit about how if you disagree, well, shoot me, because I don’t deserve to live if me living is not up to your standards….)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some people, about whom I care, might be disappointed, and that’s something I have to weigh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, regardless, at this point, there’s absolutely no way I’ll purchase a single thing from Nike if they continue to employ CK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If someone asks me why, I’ll explain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Otherwise, it’s for me to know, and just walk away. (And take my dollars with me.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
