Seriously.

What is the mother loving point?

Because 'MERICA loves FOOTBAW.

You have to justify the expense of having a staff and keeping everyone employed.

Anybody have any sense of how this money's being distributed? I assume it's pro-rated?

If not, that's a nice little perk. Given that sports ratings are way down across the board, and there are fewer games, it would be lucky to get the full payout.

Who is "we"?

And what are you exactly doing besides sitting on your rear?

Because we need the Gladiators to distract from the crumbling of the system. Order in the form of a predictable game with rules that don't necessarily reflect the inequality of the overall system is needed to keep the sheep from rising up and murdering their sheepherder. Switch on ESPN, America, and go to sleep.

I know this is a weird thing to say in 2020, because we’re all supposed tp have an unbending take and never give an inch, but I don’t know if they should be playing or not. I’m glad for the players. I’ll watch it. But I’d be okay if they had just not played.

Mostly I’m looking forward to 2021 when hopefully I can watch the games un-conflicted.

I’d pay for a fast forward button until fall 2021 for many reasons.

I don’t know that money has much to do with it because the MAC is screwed going forward either way. The tv money is just cutting massive losses. We’re at a “shut down 60 more Sears and KMart stores” stage of the conference’s reckoning.
