Essentially they don't complain about any of those costs. They find a way to justify their spend on that stuff.

But don't interrupt a game for Breaking News about Venezuela.

We all have our priorities I guess. If our government should crash and burn - at least I was able to get a spongy cheese head to wear to show my loyalty to the team. It's cooler than a MAGA hat.

Just like music and other forms of entertainment. I'm not obsessed even though I am a life long Philly fan

We need small escapes after 2025.

Just like they don't give a shit about a lot of important things. That isn't football's fault.

People are not good at having two different thoughts on the same thing.

It's hard to message that Trump did another illegal thing without making it sound like it's in defense of the dictator we also don't like.
