What would Archie Bunker say about the NFL?

[hjmick]

These "I'm going to tell everyone I'm an ignorant bigot without actually saying 'I'm an ignorant bigot...'" are strangely entertaining while also being pathetic...

 

[Lesh]

I imagine he'd say both the Jets and Giants suck.

He’d be right there

 

[leftwinger]

//* would he say it's rigged? At least some plays in some games could be questioned. It often only takes one or two calls or plays to change a game. Do nothing like PITT does but watch the clock run.

this guy could have jumped into ball path and tipped it. Instead he did almost nothing? I know i know, you say he didn'tknow the ball was coming. Then where's he running to? Yes, even I begin to wonder? *//

Actually, refs get more things right than they used to

True Dat. With cameras on almost every game. Slo mo replay etc. They are forced to do better.

But the above video was a play where the player appears to not go all out letting the opposition score?

I see plays like this in strange games. Also the ball spot, the clock usage or penalties ignored or called on scoring plays (refs).

A lot of people think some games are suspicious. It seems too hard to do it? But to hit an under? Or keep a spread? It certainly looks suspicious at times.

My biggest gripe today is that I think they used to have a better interpretation of what a catch is.
Each catch is put under a microscope and slow motion. Possession and a knee down should end the play…….not this continuation down to the ground

The Archie Bunker character was Norman Lear's Progressive stereotype of Wasps

College football is better than the NFL

I'm sure he would have mentioned the odd uniforms too.

Houston's helmets yesterday looked like boiled assholes. I never did figure out what was on them....Horns maybe?

I think that was supposed to be some sort of Gothic letter 'H' for Houston. Houston Texans.

You know, because Oilers was too petro or something.

 

[toobfreak]

Archie is a fictional character.

Archie, like Jed Clampett were both just thinly veiled stabs at what the Left saw as representing all conservatives to be made fun of by building them into caricatures of themselves.

 

[MostBoringManInTheWorld]

What would Archie Bunker think of his son-in-law being killed by his own son?

No, that's not the one. It was the middle one.

Due to the light you could not tell what was on it.

 

[braalian]

In later seasons, CBS changed Archie's character to nasty because too many people were identifying with his conservative views.

What show were you watching, cause that’s blatantly false.

I was thinking of this the other day.

To me, the real take away of All in the Family,


is that while yes, Archie Bunker was supposed to be showing how bad American "bigots" were/are,

Archie Bunker was a working man, who was supporting his wife, his daughter and he ungrateful SON-IN-LAW.

Meathead, was an ungrateful punk, who could not show respect to teh man who was not only feeding his ass, but feeding his WIFE.

If I was in his shoes, I would have shut my ******* mouth and thanks the man feeding me every ******* day.


The leftards think that WORDS, are more important than ACTIONS. even if those actions are feeding and sheltering your loved ones.

Not even close

With NIL and Transfer Portal, the rich get richer and the poor lose all their good players.

Conferences are too big and make no sense anymore

WASP implies upper middle class and privileged

The Bunkers were as working class as it gets

Lear got away of using WASPs as the bigots with smearing every other white group at the same time. Of course, Jews in which Lear is, were innocent of anything wrong.

Again, the Bunkers were not WASPs

And Archie was a bigot with a heart of gold. Deep down, he didn’t really hate anyone. “Hate is bad” is the main message I got from the show. Not a bad message.

Plus, Meathead and his pseudo-intellectual smugness got put in his place every bit as often as Archie

i suspect that the show developed away from the original vision the producer had, as fan reaction to Archie led them to realize that being too heavy handed would not be well received by the viewers.

Lost wisdom of the ancients.

The show was heavy handed by today’s standards. All shows from the 70s and 80s were. It was the era of the “Very Special Episode”. Subtlety wasn’t their strong suit.
