[Why do billionaire football team owners give a flying fig what President Dummkopf says?
The answer should be obvious. It’s not fear of Trump. It’s that they are Trump. Billionaires are not allies in the fight against the white-supremacist, anti-labor aims of this administration. They are the beneficiaries. This has gotten twisted in recent months, as people have been grateful for the diverse, proudly political voices that ESPN has hired in recent years, as well as the sight of NFL owners backing their players after Trump’s abhorrent Huntsville, Alabama, speech, where he called NFL protesters “sons of bitches.” (emphasis added)]

Humanity has some decent humans
A sports anchor from TX, no less, speaks in favor of inclusion under this umbrella of humanity for Michael Sam, first openly gay player to seek to play in the NFL.
Wow, will wonders never cease?
[Several NFL officials are telling Sports Illustrated it will hurt him on draft day because a gay player wouldn't be welcome in an NFL locker room. It would be uncomfortable, because that's a man's world.
You beat a woman and drag her down a flight of stairs, pulling her hair out by the roots? You're the fourth guy taken in the NFL draft.]http://www.wfaa.com/sports/dale-hansen/Dale-Hansen-Unplugged--244822291.html
In the second para he writes of someone almost like Lawrence Phillips except Philllips selected sixth in NFL draft, still, drafted rather high for one who assaulted his girlfriend.
After failing at every stop along his career in the NFL, Don Shula gave him a chance with my Miami Dolphins, cutting him only due to his penchant for fumbling. Great ethics.

Dolphins Call Each Other by Name
Dolphins might indeed prove more intelligent than humans, with no wars or genocide to their credit. of course with reports of Dolphins bullying their females and showing aggressive behavior at times, they might rank on par with we naked apes.
[Bottlenose dolphins have been observed to use distinctive “signature whistles” towards each other, says new research published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B. That is, dolphins actually call one another by name, a behavior previously thought to only occur in humans.
Scientists have known that dolphins emit unique whistles that identify them to other dolphins. These can be heard up to 12.4 miles away, depending on the depth of the water and whistle frequency.
Stephanie King, a research fellow at University of St. Andrews, observed that the bottlenose dolphins actually copy the signature whistle of other dolphins when separated from them. This finding, she says in Discovery News, “supports our belief that dolphins copy another animal’s signature whistle when they want to reunite with that specific individual.”
King and her colleagues observed the copying of signature whistles both in wild dolphins around Sarasota Bay in Florida from 1984 to 2009 and in four adult male captive dolphins who live at Florida’s The Sea Aquarium. The keepers had given the latter four the names Calvin, Khyber, Malabar and Ranier but the dolphins were seen to have their own names for each other.]
