Typical Republican MO. Sabotage a program that was working fine so you can say later it's broken and cut it.

This is a core reason I don’t care to know anything about players as people. It’s not that I don’t like them as people—after all, I don’t know them as people IRL—but their personhood, which occurs exclusively outside my purview, is simply not germane to my preferred way to understand them.

When I follow a team, which is by necessity populated with players, I build a profile of those players in my mind, and that profile is about only their performance in games. In that sense, I care only about the player and what he does on the field, not the person and what he does off it.

This is why I don’t care a thing about who a player dates, or who his wife and kids are, or what his charities are, what he wears on the red carpet, what he does for fun away from the game, what his opinions are, any of that. I don’t want to know any of this because the more I know, the more a fleshed-out person he becomes, and then what he does or says something awful, I end up disappointed in them as people, and I don’t want that. Miggy and his two families is a good example of that. Why did I need to know that about him? How am I to factor that into my appreciation of him as a player? How can I not let it affect my view of him? How can I root for him without reservation anymore? I don’t want to have to think about that.

Let the players be people to the people who know them personally, away from the game. To me, and as it relates strictly to my enjoyment of being a fan, I would prefer them to be only players.

Bingo. This hits for me especially at the Olympics. For all the reasons you catalog, I find all the 'human interest' stories about the athletes a total waste of my time. I don't want to know what they went through to get there, I only want to watch them perform, so get to the coverage of the damn event!

I work in auto industry and no one is laying off just hiring. Unless you take into account EV but the big 3 look at that as sunk losses. 

Have you driven an EV yet? They really are very cool.

This is a thread about Trump, and if you follow the rules - i.e. no personal attacks, I don't feel the need to shun anyone that shows up here to post about him. It's not like TH doesn't participate in the sports fora here, he does the game treads for the Pistons. I doubt a pure provocateur or  malicious bot would be doing that, though maybe I shouldn't........🤔

If he gets banned, then he's gone, otherwise, he's just telling you want he thinks, which is what everyone else is doing.

No one, huh? That sounds like Trump when he says..."everyone says..." or "someone told me..." followed by complete BS. It's the voices in his head, lying to him. But since "no one is laying off" I guess we can ignore national statistics and ...just take your word for it..

I hear the Chinese EVs are light years ahead of what Americans are being offered and at a much smaller price. Yeah, the government subsidies their car companies and the labor is questionable but he tech is far advanced.

Yes, when I work on behalf of Ford and I fly somewhere I get a Ford Lightning to putz around in most of the time. They are nice but I would never buy one. I need V8 power to move my boats, toys etc.

Are you accusing a private citizen of not telling the truth? Oh no...but it's not like she had papers removed to hide her involvement with Epstein. And it's not like she's an elected official, like Trump and most of the Trump administration perverts.

Actually, it's nice that he posts here, we get a chance to try and educate him. And it gives us a way to see how the distorted MAGA mind works, or tries to work...😅😅

A working truck is the worst application for current EV tech though (and I think a mistake by FoMoCo    to put so many eggs in that particular basket). The value is in commuter/short trip cars.

but no problem. You have one for around town with bumper sticker that says "my other car is a truck".

It's not like he said how proud he is of the Detroit Lions in the Lions forum. That would be a serious offense.

I go to 6-8 different production plants a month.... Most GM employees just got a 10K profit sharing check last month. You should see what these guys blow that money on lol. Lets just say I would not trespass on a Union workers lawn, they have the fire power of a small country. 😁
