Socialism is a viable system and the NFL is proof!

I'm going to be a very willing participant in the guerrilla marketing campaign started by some of the true patriots on here and I just had the best idea for a flyer, so great that I just had to quit lurking and sign up as fast I can to share it.

Get this, what do good, patriotic, murkans like more than their guns.....*pauses for 10 seconds*....

THEIR FOOTBALL!

If you examine more closely one would actually find many similarities to socialism within the NFL economic system.
So again, which is the most successful league by far in the country?

Yeah, I thought so.

If the MLB is Argentina (weird that Selig still donates to Dems), the NHL is Venezuela, the NBA is Canada, then the NFL must be Sweden. If you don't produce and eat up the cap, there will be no hesitation in cutting your ass to the curb, doesn't matter if your Jerry Rice or Jerry Azumah. Only in the NFL can a team like Green Bay (publicly-owned BTW!) compete for the title year in and year out. If we could find some clever way to tie in the NFL to the ills of unfettered capitalism, I think we have a touchdown on our hands!

1. I think the minute you accept that taxes should be paid you are

accepting the slightest form of socialism..which is why the Repugs don't want to pay nay at all.

2. Balance is the key. The NFL owners, players et al make boat loads of $$.

The success of the NFL is due to it's balance of capital gains infused with a socialized structure.

Our nation's business can create tons of $$ while at the same time, it's people can benefit from a system that socializes basic needs such as health care and housing.

3. I've won over people with that argument before

it's disconcerting to hear freeper-types complaining about the Yankee's buying the World Series one minute and then bitching about pinko's the next.

4. this is a novel argument.

I really have to hand it to you, you are inventive and clever. I will have to try it out when I can lay my hands on a freeper.

5. You left out the draft system which lets the shittiest teams

pick from the talent pool first - thus hopefully balancing out the league and creating better competition.
