Sure. It was just the bit about them being in favour of nuclear genocide where I had my doubts ...
The mentality of oppression and total absence of values, morals, decency and (yup) integrity combined with the justification, legitimization and implementation of policy and actions that are evil and heinous, supported by intensive, national propaganda that is accepted by a majority of the populace, yes, is identical.
It is simply dangerous to apathetically or casually dismiss this type of behavior by authority, due it being "only sports" for example...
I am a lifelong Patriots fan. As of now, I have never heard of any official acknowledgement ever by the NFL that that "game" on 12/18/76 consisted of the following: Holding was committed by but not called by the officials against the Raiders the whole game, nor was Atkinson penalized for breaking Francis' nose. Furthermore, holding penalties were called against the Patriots that were not committed. The side judges screwed up the yard markers on the Patriot's last drive (in Oakland's favor), and then the roughing the passer which did not occur and finally multiple unsportsmanlike conduct penalties against the Patriots near the end. It remains the single most one-sided, corrupt, robbery of a sporting event by officials in favor of one team, and I have never heard any apology from the league for it, to me or the players or coaches, and NO, the tuck rule game did nothing to mitigate or "make up" for it.
I am still waiting for Kensil, Grigson and Harbaugh's phones to be confiscated and their calls and texts examined in the course of the "investigation" into what
really happened in '15.
Waiting...waiting...still waiting...still waiting...still here...waiting...
