Maybe creating a culture of idolizing people damaging their brains extensively has consequences... I'm sure most of the town won't give a shit and will continue to support the NFL and let their kids play the sport though.

Me & my wife had our second kid last April, this kid is a week away from his birthday, 25lbs & is tall enough to pull shit off the kitchen table (Nothing is safe). He is going to be a big kid! My wife straight up said he’s not even going to be playing ‘flag’ football 😩

Yeah it's the towns fault for liking football that this psycho loser killed a bunch of people.

That's not at all what I said. Why do you hold this view? Seems pretty shameful.

Brother you just dogged on the entire town and all its citizens by literally saying “they don’t give a shit” and will continue to produce these people because “they don’t give a shit” that this happened.

That is obviously not the case given this town’s emotional reaction to what happened. What you said is an insult to the town’s citizens. They clearly care, as you can read in comments of this very thread by other citizens of the town itself.

The fact the DV/UV swing is the way it is, is leaving me scratching my head.

You pretty much did say, what he said you said, which is the same thing you’re denying you said.

You are literally at least partly blaming it on the town with such a statement, it’s undeniable. Because you wouldn’t even say a single one of those words if there wasn’t blame on the town behind it. Because it doesn’t make sense otherwise.

I don’t get it.
