I am loving this and the Skins fan like it even more.
While I enjoy the public spectacle and gossip as much as anybody...
What actual accountability does Congress have? They can't force the NFL or the Commanders to do anything.
Me personally... I kind of find this whole thing pretty comical. Like its a total indictment of our society. This is why I continuously mock the public so much.
Things the general public cares about:
1. Dan Snyder's libido, and the desire to have him self a wildly profitable franchise, which he will reap BILLIONS of dollars for in a sale, because he's basically just a terrible manager of people and bad person.
2. The NFL apparently not having the power to be the judge, jury, and executioner of an employee, and giving him a $240M contract instead.
Things the general public doesn't seem to care about:
1. Having Congress, who are elected officials, do literally anything of real value. We don't care that they spend taxpayer money to do public sideshows to make an NFL owner look bad, despite having absolutely zero legal authority to do literally anything about it. It's purely just a PR stunt by elected Government officials.
2. The fact that a high profile athlete can seemingly sexually assault dozens of people, and there was virtually no chance at any point where he would be held in any sort of legal trouble over it. I've yet to see a person publicly be outraged by the fact that our legal system can't do anything about this. But somehow, we're cool with outsourcing it to... the Browns.
And the general public applauds this... LOL. What a time to be alive.
Not to mention that the idea of blasting the Browns for paying Watson $240M, but promoting the NFL force a rich person to sell his franchise for a tremendous profit, cashing out for Billions, are two gigantically contradictory thought processes. And yet, they represent the majority.
And you wonder who no real problems are ever solved in this country. Because the public is more mesmerized by whether an NFL owner is getting a hummer from a cheerleader or not.
We, collectively, as a society, have EARNED ALL OF THIS. We deserve it.
