Good. Then why in the world would you defend what Georgia's governor did? @nfreeman This isn't political, right?

1. I'll bet the above isn't moved. Well, I'll bet it wouldn't have been moved had I not written something. EDIT: It won't be moved now that' I've challenged it. Or now maybe it WILL be moved now that I've mentioned the challenge. Where will the freeman winds take us today? 2. https://gov.georgia.gov/executive-action/executive-orders/2020-executive-orders You'll want the July 15 order at the second page, where the governor substitutes "encouraged" for what his constituent counties and municipalities had decided. That's the problem, dig?

World emoji day?

Well, @nfreeman has been on the board several times since I asked this question, including within the last ten minutes, so I suppose there is no answer. Please don't move posts haphazardly to the politics thread. And please don't do it because of YOUR political beliefs, which you have done numerous times. You're a good mod. And I'm hesitant to criticize mods because I know it's hard, unpaid work. But your actions in this thread show a very clear political bias. Even a post that doesn't mention a politician, doesn't mention a party, doesn't mention anything about politics, gets moved. Into a forum that I do moderate, BTW. Meanwhile, numerous similar posts, that don't mention politicians, but which present a right-wing POV, remain. I know you, I think you're a good person, but I think you should step out of moderating this thread. You are not handling it even-handedly.

Please tell me why this was moved to the politics thread: How stupid is this? It's stupid enough to not have it [wearing masks] as a statewide requirement; it's a special level of stupid to prevent municipalities and counties from having their own requirements.

I really think they're in serious trouble. Like sell the company level trouble.

This has been ongoing for a while. Poloncarz's remark didn't stimulate it. I think New Era is overextended. And its parking lot is empty.

No, Buffalo was the threat dangled to make sure the Expos built a dome. As usual, MLB used Buffalo to get other cities to move in the direction MLB wanted.

Of course I do! But it was planned and in the works well before '76. Never was the plan to have the Expos in Jarry Park permanently.

No one was going to deny expansion across the border into that gorgeous retractable-roof stadium that was Olympics-worthy.

Yeah, there are revenues to be had, but these so-called bubbles are going to be really expensive.

I can’t see how it will be profitable.

TIL that Swamp is actually Billy Zabka.

Dude, you're whiter than me!

They want Chicago, Rangers, and Montreal, really.

Given that my basic point is "humanity is crappy no matter whether in North America or elsewhere," I don't think I even need a defense!

We don't have any personal problems with one another as far as I can tell.

IIRC, this is exactly what Florida State did, and the Seminole tribe/nation (I'm not sure which designation they use) approved the continued use of the name and logo.

There's no need to reseed these teams, just like there's no need to expand the playoffs to 24. The NHL really just can't get out of its own way sometimes. But I do see how some warmup games are a good idea.

Ogre, you definitely are misinterpreting me. And how did we get on the topic of sports mascots? I don't like Washington's name, and I'm glad they're changing it, and I didn't like Cleveland's mascot, and I'm glad it's gone.

I am sick of the Sabres using draft picks with fifty percent results. Trade it to some dumber team, if there is one

You put it much better than I did. @Ogre at some point your ancestors lost a war. I don't know against whom because I don't know which tribe or when it happened. There were a number of cultures invading the hemisphere, some of which (Portugal, Spain) were considerably more warmongering with respect to the natives than others (France, Netherlands). Your ancestors may even have lost wars to other native nations; I don't know. At some points, my ancestors lost wars, too. I know, for example, that my grandfather's family was long ago (EDIT I mean, as in well before his lifetime, like around the same time Europeans were invading the Americas) driven from their lands and across a border. The specific difference may be that my ancestors probably looked more like their conquerors than your ancestors did, meaning that they were less susceptible to discrimination on sight. (BTW my mention of the model longhouse was to demonstrate that we did in fact learn about natives in schools, and was not some self-congratulatory gesture.)
