Unpopular opinions

[mclaincausey]

No straw man, just ideas to improve the sport (have some on all American sports too) which were shot down by a formal logical fallacy (the most ironic one possible in this thread) and then as being based on ignorance, which is what I was addressing with my experience with the game.

I don't like American football. It's pretty lame. Does that count as an unpopular opinion since most of you guys aren't American and probably agree with me?

[Megatron1505]

OK, you win. Good night 

[seawolf]

The only thing I like less than American football is fantasy football.

[mclaincausey]

Yeah if you hate a sport chances are the fantasy version is a wash

[mclaincausey]

Definitely pulling for Mega if I don't win our league, just so I can hear the trash-talking. Sorry Americans

I will construct a Benedict Arnold outfit and ride in an open topped parade down 5th Avenue

@Megatron1505:

Whoops, I didn't notice you had posted, sorry Chris. Fortunately you didn't say anything of merit 

Do I ever?

@babyknight:

A noble sentiment mclain, but the trashing on here has generally not been about health.  It's been stuff like NYC pizza vs Pizza Hut pizza, or Shake Shack vs other (less expensive) fast food chains.  that's pure snobbery, nothing to do with health.

Someone posted earlier "who the F eats at subway?"  I can tell you who eats in them here:  FDNY; cops; construction workers; people who work in stores in the area.  People for whom $5-6 for lunch is the budget.  But yeah, let's trash them for not being able to eat as well as those of us who can afford $400 jeans.  F–ing joke.

i feel that I can add to this whole subway discussion.

Project Mayhem is underway.

however as far as fast food chains go…..i like subway.  especially when on the road in the middle of nowhere at 2 am.  a 24 hour truckstop subway is like a shining beacon of hope.  plus it's pretty much the only fast food joint where you can get spinach and other vegetables.

Subway is my go to traveling option. No other fast good place is healthier than Subway. Try to prove me wrong.

[mclaincausey]

I think bread kills you, so I'd disagree.

Edit: forgot I think they may do "naked" sandwiches like Jimmy John's.

The worst in terms of health has got to be Quizno's.

[riffblaster general]

I'd give that to long John silvers

Haha yeah. I meant sandwich shops but probably a good call.

[urbanwoodsman]

Pretty good article and video.

There's another piece that was in the Times called is sugar toxic? Highly recommended.

Okay, can we please stop talking shit about football, and start talking shit about God because this is really starting to offend me.

[seawolf]

As tempted as I am to talk about religion, we're asked to not discuss it in the guidelines.
