Are We Having Fun Yet?

That would be a big, resounding, “NO!”

The 49er Faithful have suffered much these last few years. The management fires Harbaugh, then changes coaches every year. Our beloved core players sign with other teams, retire, or get traded. This year is no exception – a new coach and a lot of new players. I’m usually disappointed in management, but never disappointed with the players.

Until now.

Don’t get me wrong – I believe in showing solidarity and fighting against injustice. Protesting something is your right as an American. I just want you to do your protesting somewhere else, on your own time. At a game, you are on NFL’s and your fans time. Not standing during our National Anthem is a negative thing – I don’t care how you rationalize it.  This country does not oppress people of color, or anything else. People do that. Bullies in low and high places.  You are an American. Stand proud. A nation is watching you.

I’ll tell you who’s oppressed, Mr. Kaepernick – your fans!  We pay for tickets, memorabilia and  merchandise.  It is your fans that allow you to have the ridiculous salaries, and new stadiums. Why? So we can watch football and enjoy the competition, the energy, and the love of the game. Now, during what used to be entertaining and exciting, we have politics in our face.

Now that you have the Nation’s attention, as well as the cover of Time Magazine, what is your plan to change things?  You might start with changing your hair-do. Cut it or corn-row it. We get that you are Black, so please,  – lose the fro, bro! It looks silly.  Seriously.

I am a 49er Faithful – but I am not happy about it.  Basically, this whole thing makes me depressed. It’s football season, but we aren’t having any fun yet. The 49er’s 2016-17 Season has been ruined.

If I Were President

I believe American’s would be more content if I made certain changes:

  • Pass a law that incumbent President’s are forbidden to campaign. They already have the job and the best way to keep it is for them to concentrate on the job instead of running about the country smoozing voters.
  • Less power to political parties, insurance companies, and huge corporations. ‘We the People’ should have a bigger say than they do.
  • Stop taking common sense and putting it into law. We waste so many resources trying to force people to wear helmets, buckle seat belts and stay off the phone. And that’s only DMV laws.
  • Could someone tell me why our federal and state government gets involved with issues like same-sex marriage?  Will these kind of issues ever be solved? I think not.
  • Make the IRS less ridiculous. Fire the idiot that writes the booklets and hire someone who speaks (and writes) proper English. [If the idiot were computer software, he would fry the system with the infinite loops he writes. His twin brother probably writes the DMV’s written tests.]

There are many more things I would change, but I must get some sleep now.

Nighty Night  😉
