Quote:Some of us would like there to be at least one place in our lives where the social engineers aren't engaged with trying to change our thoughts, attitudes, voting habits, and deeply held personal beliefs. If a hugely corporate entity filled with milquetoast executives like the NFL can't be that place then, darn it, there aren't going to be ANY left.

 

It's not social engineering; it's controlling the image of the NFL.   The NFL could not care less about gay rights.  It's their image and their political power they are trying to protect.  

 

And by the way, if you're looking for a "...place in our lives where the social engineers aren't engaged with trying to change our thoughts, attitudes, voting habits, and deeply held personal beliefs.." dream on.  Such a place has never existed in modern history.   In a free market, there are always going to be people trying to control your thoughts and behavior, whether they're trying to get you to buy their toilet paper or trying to get you to vote their way.
