I am in KC and lots of rage on my feed about that. Harrison Butker should have been on that platform where they presented the trophy, not that Neanderthal Kelce.

I’ve lived in KC for 14 years now but prior to that lived in WI my entire life. The Chiefs success has gone to their heads and they’ve become an obnoxious team that is difficult to like despite the Hunt family’s classiness, the legacy of Andy Reid and the talent of Mahomes. Travis Kelce is a jerk and the obsession with TS is an indication of how low our society has sunk. I wonder what drugs Kelce takes that could explain his violent outbursts that have been witnessed on camera and especially his abusive, inappropriate behavior towards Andy Reid. Why he wasn’t thrown out of the game immediately is a mystery to me. Poor sportsmanship, immaturity, lack of consequences for his actions all result in the embarrassing conduct of this idiot. And why people who did respect the Chiefs and their success are falling away from cheering for this team.

Well I have been in the KC area my whole life, and lots of bandwagon fans for sure. We had season tix in the 90's and 00's when FB was still just a game and politics was kept off the field for the most part. Got too expensive and too woke and haven't been to Arrowhead since take a knee. So, it's kind of funny, back when I cared, most people laughed at me. Now, I really don't care, and this whole town is obsessed with this team. Bread and circuses. Although I did watch last night, and it was an exciting game at the end. Really thought KC was off, momentum definitely going SF's way, but Mahomes is at his best when the chips are down.

Well, a late friend, who sadly died of turbo cancer in 2022 was an avid NFL better/fantasy player. He was good at it and made some serious dough on it for years. Had a living room with multiple big screen tv's so he could monitor all the games. But around 2018/19 or so he started dialing back, claiming it was fixed. He would go off on fairly long and detailed rants on this that kind of went over my head. Gambling is not me or my hubby's thing so some of the details were lost on me. My hubby said it was an excuse because he had a losing year??

And I did not watch the game super closely, I was multi-tasking, lol, but there were not a lot of questionable calls that I could tell. And from a practical standpoint, if it was truly fixed, in today's super connected internet age, you would think there would be a stray whistleblower here and there. But the NFL and sports betting are becoming behemoth industries, so it would not surprise me in the least if he was at least partly right.

Oh me too, my interest severely waned since take a knee. And the ghost of Pendergast is still alive and well. But I am still somewhat of a herd animal, the Chiefs in the super bowl is pretty much all anyone in this town has talked about for 2 weeks so I did watch the big game. Despite the politics, it is still something that somewhat brings us together. I actually miss pre-woke football.

Oh it's definitely not the same as before. My level of 'caring' about the outcome of the game was probably a 5, where it used to be a 10. I gave away all my Chiefs gear during take a knee but kept my late dad's 'lucky' Chiefs sweatshirt. He's been gone 10 years and it's not in the best shape any more. But he was a huge football fan so it's a little bit of nostalgia there.

Do you mean Aaron Hernandez? I actually read the book that came out on his story, am a fan of James Patterson, and picked it up since he was the co-author. Another chink in the NFL armor, as his years of bad behavior getting a pass was not unique with him. Too many of these players rise up from nothing, have no idea how to handle the fame and $ and never really leave behind the world they came from. Hernandez had it all, and chose the thug life, and the Patriots did him no favors looking the other way until it was too late for Odin Lloyd, his victim.

Its origins are a corrpution of you'uns. Appalachia is said by many students of American regional culture and lingo to "originate" in Pittsburgh, and run south from there. Hence the "Paris" moniker: Pittsburgh was at one time the prime urban economic engine of an otherwise-poor region. We relocated to the N E GA mountains decades ago, and note the similarities in geography, weather, and large number of Scots-Irish families around here.

There's no doubt that Taylor Swift is talented and she has legions of devoted fans. However, the "Taylor Swift" phenomenon is unprecedented.

I don't ever recall a time when such a broad array of institutions aligned to promote a single artist in the way that Taylor Swift has been promoted. It seemingly came out of nowhere in 2022 when seemingly every publication started running Taylor Swift updates. It's definitely social and probably political for all the reasons people primarily on the right both suspect and definitely fear. Legions of 'Swifties' casting ballots and spending their money to promote affiliated causes.

I lived through the rise of Springsteen, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Prince, and, more recently Beyonce and the latest artistes du jour. In every case the music came first. Michael Jackon's Billie Jean video blew people away and changed the trajectory of entertainment. The same holds true for all of the rest. They all had their shelf-life and none had the ability or the combined media power behind them to generate social outcomes. If only John and Yoko had Google, the NFL, and the letter agencies behind them during their "Bed-in for Peace".

You're completely right, of course.

I've mentioned this a few times but I often refer back to David McGowan's book, Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon, wherein McGowan presents the case that the Laurel Canyon music scene of the late 60s was in reality a psy-op. McGowan also talks about how Miles Copeland and Stewart Copeland had familial ties to the CIA (Dad was a founder) and suggests similar influences in the New Wave scene of the late 70s.

There's no doubt that these 'artists' are owned and that there is a price that goes along with being rich and famous.

I never heard of that book but will look it up.

I saw a few videos saying Jim Morrison's father was an admiral in the military complex. It is reported that Jim was never interested in music and he probably did drugs to escape reality.

Yes, the NFL for years has tried to attract the younger demographic who is more attuned to soccer than football. At the time I read the article around the whole take a knee/SJW response, the 'average' NFL fan was a white male in his 50's. So the NFL was destroying its base in the hopes of attracting younger viewers. A local news story said that after the first TayTay attendance at a Chiefs game, that a top search on Google was "what is a tight end"? LOL My son works as an usher for the Chiefs, and the second game she attended, he was assigned to the section below her suite. Said half the people in his section came with binoculars. To watch the game up close? No, to turn around and get a close up into the luxury suite with the hopes of getting a glance at TS. He was disgusted by all this, so glad there are still a few young people with their heads screwed on right.

Your first three sentences describe the "Bud Light" technique.

As the invasion of young fighting age males continues I think you will be correct that soccer takes over.

Love it!! We have a similar attraction here, Missouri Town 1865, but it's run by the County, so no fun creative videos. My kids used to love going there, though, they hold lots of events, like sheep shearing, cooking demonstrations and the like. My daughter was a huge Little House on the Prairie fan so this stuff was right up her alley.

I can’t remember if we went to Missouri Town when we lived there though the name sounds familiar? I don’t think we did but I can’t think why.

Well it's not very well publicized. We knew about it as we live ~10 minutes from there and they advertised special events in our local suburb's newspaper. Both kids also went on field trips there. Do they even do field trips any more?!

My kids used to at their school here and I am pretty sure the local public school does. I wonder if maybe Missouri Town wasn’t as developed when we lived there? Or maybe we just never found the time to go?

Well we were just there for a Walktober event (go out weekends in October and walk different featured parks) last fall, and an interpreter was talking about which of the buildings were original, and which had been moved to the site from other places but I don't remember if he said what years. My kids were born in 93 and 95 and we went a lot when they were little, so it's not that new.

I wouldn't say ploy as much as marketing strategy. Only 25% of Gen Z watched football and 40% of Milleneals while 50-60% of Gen X and older watch it. If they want to survive, they need to get younger folks interested. Swift brings in the girls and betting apps to bring in the boys although the former seemed to be more successful.

Speaking of bets. My mom and I were out to lunch on Friday and the restaurant had a big screen tuned into a sports betting show. Sound was off but the headline to the graphic was showing odds on Swift/Kelce 'Prop bets'. Our waitress showed up at the time and I asked her, WTH is a prop bet? She was like, oh, you can bet on when Travis Kelce proposes to Taylor Swift. Truly bizzaro world times we are living in.

If it’s worth 20 big ones to Pfizer to have him be their drug pusher, how much were they paying Swift and her paramour for this concocted dating storyline. And were they paying the NFL for the airtime, or was the NFL willing to write it off for the extra exposure to a new audience? At least two young women at my workplace who previously had no interest in football were sporting KC jerseys yesterday, solely because of the Swiftie connection.

Have seen several comments saying that they only show Swift for a few times a game, maybe 30 seconds total. Okay, well look up how much that airtime costs during an NFL game. (Close to a million edit: 1 million for a regular season game, 7 million for a Super Bowl 30 second ad…how much camera time did Swift and Kelce get last night? Somebody calculate it)

The NFL at this point is more a vehicle for propaganda pushing than anything else.

You know, drug pusher is a perfect moniker for him. he attended my rival high school, Cleveland Heights High, where we would affectionately scream "Heights Bites" at the football games. Listen to him speak, he sounds like a gang member who just got paroled.

It's a pretty smart agreement. In addition to bringing young women to the NFL, it brings young men to Swift's music.

I think this has lasted longer than the Chesney-Zellweger duet from a while back.

Doubtful she knows anything about marketing. She’s a tool. She’s being used and propped up and glorified. She sold herself to the satanic cabal years ago and now they are calling in their marker. They pull her strings, not her. This kelce thing is a ploy to attain whatever agenda they’re working on. The most obvious is to prop up nfl after their ratings destruction with the kneeling and disrespect of our flag. They are licking their wounds and needed some big names and publicity to prop them up. It’s all about the money and agenda. And it is sponsored via ffizer. Ffizer owns everything. Tv. Media. Celebrities. Swift is being used, but her choices made that possible. The sooner the braindead sheep wake up the sooner we get to stop hearing her filthy name ever again. And her boy toy too. He was nobody. Then all of a sudden everybody knew who he was. No accident. It was all planned. And the sheep fall for it Every. Single. Time. It’s so sad. 😞

Being a former Pac-12 and NFL player myself, you NEVER touch your coach. I was surprised Kelce wasn't benched for that attack on his own coach. Doesn't matter if it was the Super Bowl. The prisoners are running the prison.

I’m embarrassed for Kelsey whoever he is (I don’t participate in co-opted cultural BS anymore) for the clothes he wore yesterday. He looked like he was trying to come off as the BIG MAN ON CAMPUS but instead looked like he was off to join the circus. And then when he started attacking the head coach?

The Deep State is highly invested in us adoring a bunch of idiots and distracting us with their circuses. The sooner we stop participating, the sooner they will stop the cultural brainwashing.
