Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
Am I wrong or is the new plan to pull the troops out of Afghanistan before the troops are pulled out of Washington DC? That's pretty messed up and it's like nobody's paying attention... The Great Barrington Declaration and Ad Hominem Augmentation. True - if they had a case to make they would instead they attack the signers... Remember a few years ago when Coors released a new drink - Coors Light Iced Tea but nobody in marketing thought through the acronym (CLIT)? "Hey guys let's go out and grab some CLIT" - you don't see that product advertised anymore (for some reason)... Unpopular Opinion: I see people talking about getting the vaccine and being relieved that they can now spend time with their family, friends and loved ones again. Truth is you could have been doing that all along... Not a soccer fan but I understand the outrage over the new proposed Super League. As a way to confront that threat to history and tradition I offer a simple recommendation: any player under contract to any team in the Super League would not be eligible for a World Cup roster. You could easily get Britain and Scotland to support such a measure and I'm guessing Spain and Germany would come on board as well. That would take the steam out of the Super League from the get go...
With the product acronym CLIT what would the Brisbane Bitter people do for an advertisement, I wonder?
ReplyDeleteYou are wildly overrating the appeal of 'World Cup participant' when weighed against 'pile of cash'. Occasional tournament play for fame vs. regular job with a paycheck is a no-brainer for 99% of the world. And most of those who think otherwise already have the boatload of cash so their 'selfless' platitudes are suspect.
ReplyDeleteThe World Cup idea wasn't properly thought out (Germany doesn't even have a team in the proposed Super League) but it's moot now that the Super League has folded due to public pressure anyway.
