"the league has sucked as much as Bush in handling this catastrophe"
Please explain to me how this is not comparing Bush/Government lack of involvement the first four days after the hurricane to the NFL. You are saying they sucked as much as our government because they are making em play pre-season games AND they have to play somewhere else?
Bush's administration has REACTED poorly in handling the hurricane. Their REACTION sucked.
The NFL has REACTED poorly in handling the hurricane. Their REACTION sucked.
Very related comments....both "organization" have REACTED poorly. And that REACTION sucked. And Skandery's comment hit it on the head....the magnitude of the administration's FAILURE is much more secere than the magnitude of the NFL's failure.
By the same standard...I would say our government's REACTION to 9-11 was favorable. The NFL's REACTION to 9-11 was favorable. The government's SUCCESS in that situation far outstrips the NFL's success just because of the magnitude of responsibility.
Lurker, maybe you should have been a bit more clear? You directly compared the two without explaining what you really meant.
There is a difference between....
The NFL did a poor job in handling the situation they were put in by the hurricane with the Saints.
and
"the league has sucked as much as Bush in handling this catastrophe"
Especially since you were commenting on how I said the NFL was doing a good job helping out with the catastrophe..im sure you can see why I took it the wrong way. Were the Saints having to play somewhere else a catastrophe? The NFL had a problem to handle.....the Bush administration and our government had a catastrohpe to handle. I apologize for taking your comment the wrong way but when you are not clear and you compare something that serious, you are going to envoke a little anger from people. Much like I apparently angered Joe by saying he supports Bush.
And Lurker, can you even remember the last 7 years of political debate here???
Sorry had to get my joke in.
