Nobody who's looking for good coverage of anything should be reading / watching CNN anyway. The last 10-odd years have proven that all the major privately owned US networks are just total slop.

Not to mention a large amount of NFL players don't play for very long. A quick Google shows an average player career of just 3.3 years, which is ridiculously short even by modern sports standards. The average goes down depending on which position there is as well. Most other major sports have an average of 5 - 8 years for careers.

Imagine getting to the NFL and then only staying for a couple years. Sure you're set for life with that paycheck but expecting somebody who's like 24 years old at most to be able to be financially responsible with that money is just absurd.

I used to live in a fairly Republican area of the country and you're 100% correct. It's not something people watch, it's just that fox is always in the background. bars, restaurants, bowling alleys, the country club, it's the default TV channel wherever you go. If you ask to change the channel people look at you like you've gone insane.

Well that and a large majority of medical corporations refuse to provide their drugs for this purpose. That was one of the main reasons the "lethal injection cocktail" kept changing, because companies found out their drugs were in it and took legal action.

bermuda , 5 months ago to World News in What it was like inside the last living room caucus

It's not just deciding the candidates. It's a lot less of a vote in an election (like a primary) and more of a neighborhood meeting. People give speeches, express support or disdain, and try to convince other people to support their candidate. I believe they still vote at the end, but it's not like an election where voting is the only thing you do. It's different depending on the state, but that's how it generally works in Iowa.

Edit; also important to note that caucus has different meanings depending on where it happens. I.e. if it happens in Congress then it's a meeting of peers with similar backgrounds who then vote or decide on policy positions.

This is a good video on the topic While I personally can very much see why they've banned some runners, I just can't see why for others. I don't agree with everything the youtuber says but it's very compelling.

In short, the organization just seems very quick to blow minor mishaps way out of the water. They seem to enjoy treating their customers and their fanbase as children, and instead of letting people work out their own differences as the adults they are, they like to step in and handle it themselves. Sometimes this goes well, but most of the time it doesn't.

Basically, the way they run the event just tends to cause drama and it doesn't look like they'll be changing anytime soon. I enjoy the runners and the runs, but the event organizers clearly have a lot of issues going on. There's a reason you just don't see this kind of drama with ESA.
