    Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss

    There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

      I don't think it's a case of league rules. I'm pretty sure it's an agreement between the leagues and the players' unions.

        Maybe this is a topic for another thread, but ever since becoming close friends with a former BYU athlete and hearing about their living stipend and swag, I am completely off the "these athletes are being exploited by the universities" train. After the scholarships, when you add in all the stipends and meals, they are essentially getting paid reasonably well to play college sports.

          Some of the Israelites liked Egyptian food better. Thinking they were going to die in the wilderness. Moses was pissed and struck rock rather than speak to it. Must we fetch water for you. Got in a bit of,trouble f that. Who can blame hill. At manna every day for forty years. Than got quail that did n taste good.

          Slavery has existed for many millenia still does. Slaveyw as property so had to treat them decent. Never they did not have choices were that was wrong. Why it was outlawed. Of course some post emancipation a as not that great, but we are a great country now because of the,things people did to outlaw slavery.

          Walter Williams a Libertarian economics proffeser wh sometimes fills in for Rush always says it,s about tariffs and the were black confederates. Thomas di Lorenzo a major critic too. Victors write history. Hard pressed to find civil war was n about lslavery, they just hate Lincln.

            The Civil War was about slavery.

              The idea that it wasn't about slavery didn't come around until several decades after the war, and was essentially a white supremacist-inspired backlash at reconstruction and civil rights by downplaying the slavery angle. It's just one of those things where if you repeat a falsehood long enough it sticks, and it was taught that way in HS textbooks for the rest of the 20th century and until pretty recently. But in recent years the study of contemporary writings from that era has been more prevalent, and these overwhelmingly support the idea that the people at the time on both sides thought it was mostly about slavery.

                The articles of secession for the confederate states explicitly state that it was about slavery.
