4. This year's football season has been very difficult for me

On the one hand, I think paying people to play games for billions of dollars is ridiculous; that most of the athletes are jerks or worse, and that the teams have too much power when it comes to blackmailing cities to build new stadiums for them, and I eagerly await the day when their ratings do bottom out, and the spoiled millionaires have to get real jobs.

On the other hand, you got a guy like Kaepernick, who not only is aces at annoying conservatives by practicing his Constitutional rights and inspiring others to do so to draw attention to an important issue, but he seems like a decent fellow all around, giving to charity, starting foundations, etc. that I hope the rumor about him and Diddy buying a team is true just to continue shaking shit up some more.
