Why can't we "You can't recommend threads from this forum"?
I tried on H20 Mans post and it wouldn't let me.

It's not as if this sports forum has enough members to get it pushed to the front page.

1. Sports are not progressive

9. Sorry - "true progressives" hate sports...
Where true progressives are not at all the same thing as "true progressives".

11. GD is full of "true progressives" yammering about how nobody should have fun...
with the superbowl, because so many are losing jobs, and times are tough.

12. There is a long
history that connects sports and politics. While not every sports OP merits "recommends," neither does every OP on GD or GD-P. But just as certain sports stories make the front page of the best of newspapers -- these often being those with sports-political connections -- the same should be true on DU.

"Women hate sports" .. Meh :P
I know some girls who will be dressed in their football Jeresys, blue jeans
sneakers, and heading to the nearest sports bar. I wish I could go. Can't afford it but
I will be at home screaming at my radio!!

15. Because of all the nudity in these threads.
I don't want to name names, but a certain poster whose name begins with m (and ends with adinmaryland) should know better.
