Donald Trump giving the NFL crap about being "soft" because penalties for head to head hits. Yeah Mr. Trump chump maybe more players should suffer long term brain damage, become paralyzed, or die just for your viewing pleasure. Maybe families of players should suffer watching their loved ones fall apart after the player retires so someone like you can enjoy it or profit from it? Maybe you want to see more families like Junior Seau's go through hell so you can watch a good game?
You talk about being tough and talk smack but you are nothing more than a rich man's draft dodging son in a business suit. The closest you have ever come to handling a football on the field is foundling your tiny testicles in the shower.

PNW seismic activity and my theory.
So the Pacific Northwest has been having quite a few tremors lately, mainly under the north part of the Olympic Peninsula and the Straits of Juan De Fuca. The seismologists say it is associated with a slow slip deep in the subduction zone. This has been happening every 14 months since the 1990's. Now logically it follows that if you have movement of part of the subducted plate deep down you should have some movement, or at least a corresponding tension build up along the shallower depth along the subduction zone. Since I have not read anything about movement on the Cascadia subduction zone I can only assume the tension has increased by the same amount of energy as released by the past tremors combined and then some. The question now is how much tension can be stored before it overcomes the friction of the two plates and releases all the stored energy in one massive earthquake? How close our we to that number?
I will tell you that when it happens it will be at least an 8.0 moment of magnitude quake, most likely a 9.0 +. If you thought the Japan quake and the Indian Ocean quakes were bad this could surpass them and generate a serious tsunami that will hit the Pacific coast mere minutes after the quake.

The proper way to change in government.
I think Todd is trying to see what people think of the situation. I do not support taking up arms against the government because you have a beef with them; neither did the founding fathers. In the early days of our country under the constitution, a group of people became upset on the tax on a product they produced and took up arms in protest. The President, George Washington, led the Army as commander and chief to put it down, it was called the Whiskey Rebellion. Keep in mind George Washington himself produced whiskey.
The second amendment was not put into place so that people could rise up every time the government did something they didn't like, it was put in place to act as a way of generating a force to protect the country as the country did not have a large standing army at the time. No one really wanted a large standing army for fear it could be used as a tool to take over the government. I still believe in the second amendment right to bear arms because one still needs to protect their family and hunt if they so choose.
Many use Thomas Jefferson's "The Tree of Liberty needs to be watered with the Blood of Tyrants" to justify taking up arms against the government. I got news for you. Thomas Jefferson, was in France as a representative of the United States at the writing of the Constitution. If this was on purpose I do not know. I do know many considered him far to radical though he did have great ideas on Liberty.
The founding fathers set up a representative democracy to handle "a change in government " to avoid future armed rebellion when the people became dissatisfied with the government. The problem is not the Constitution, it is just there are too many special interest groups with big money that have the ear of our representatives and the president and not the actual people. This is the system that needs to be addressed. Why is the BLM after land and wanting to enforce an agenda that is overly influenced by environmentalists? Because the environmentalist have the money, money they get from Hollywood types who think they know better because they read a pamphlet on "the spotted owl" or something. You want to stop the BLM or over reaching government rules? then change the lobbying system, campaign finance, and if that cannot be done, pool your money together and lobby the government with your views. The pen is mightier than the sword! If it were not so then this country would not exist.
