The sad part is that in about 6-8 weeks no one will give a damn because we will be on the cusp of the Aaron Hernandez trial.

It's how the righteous work. They pick and choose who they mob against. Criticize their tactics, point out their hypocrisy, or highlight any incorrect facts or ignorance and they add you to their list.

These people just want to think they're a part of something 'good' without actually, you know, being a part of something. So they click like, they retweet, they get all riled up. But they don't actually do anything.

Sometimes good comes from it. Maybe this time it will. But their track record is pretty poor.

The media eats up and uses it to direct ratings and clicks their way. So it spirals out of control.

We'll see. The NFL cover up story exposed by ESPN is quite damning... I think there's probably a few people that should lose their jobs based on that report. So on one hand I kind of applaud the righteous I so loathe, on the other I can't help but laugh that they've ignored so many domestic violence issues in the past and even in this case it took an actual video to get outraged (the level of outrage was nothing compared to this when the story broke.) In some twisted irony most of the righteous are guilty of the exact same thing they accuse Goodell and the Ravens of - Not giving enough of a shit and needing a video of the actual punch to understand how awful domestic violence is.

Goodell and the Ravens have already admitted their mistake in that regard. The Righteous never will...
