Weird jumbotron messages

What's up with those weird ten second clips that said "raise boys and girls the exact same way" or "the abuse of power should come as no surprise?" What is all that about?

Art installation by Jenny Holzer, possibly. A friend of mine worked as her assistant for a while and the abuse of power quote is one I've seen by her before, not sure on the boys and girls thing.

You mean other than the fact that they were spot-on?

I'll say, the number of high crimes being committed has skyrocketed in recent years,,,

Yea right, so that twenty years from now we are watching male Cowboy cheerleaders, and there are female qbs on the team not because of talent but because of being PC...

 

[BoysFan4ever]

I think I read somewhere where a guy had tried out for the cheerleaders once. That made me LOL. I'm pretty sure it was the Cowboys squad.

It'll happen probably.

This is a common sentiment and has been for generations. Fact is, the crime rate has plummeted for two decades. Even with all the heinous crimes we've seen, Americans have arguably never been safer.

If you research the term "high crimes" you will find that they are completely different from what you think they are.

Speaking of the board, what's with the 3rd down strobe flashing? Seems like it would be an epileptics nightmare and with the number of unique visitors to the stadium each year I'm surprised it hasn't set someone off yet.

Are epileptics not sensitive to certain kinds of flashing?

Perhaps a subtle message for Jerry?

I thought red flashing was the worse type of flashing for epileptics. I also believe there has to be a frequency of the flashes also.

Interesting. Thanks.

Haha I thought the exact same thing when I saw that. At the very least it looked like it'd be annoying and distracting.

Good to see another AWAKE Cowboy brethren who gets it. Sad that so many others have not and are still toiling away in Starnseville at the 20th century Motor company.

Unfortunately they have to resort to that to get the crowd into it. They do that in most other pro stadiums too.

That is not what that statement means. Not even close.

I cant claim to know exactly what the intentions are, but i don't really like it... Sounds NWO-ish to me... "Raise boys and girls the same"? That's stupid, sure you want to instill similar values and beliefs in them, but boys are raised to be men, and girls are raised to be women, and we are not the same... And who the hell are they to tell me how to raise my children? My children do not belong to the community, they belong to me!

"The abuse of power should come as no surprise"? Sounds like the billionaire boys club bragging about how they've conquered the political system and mainstream media while the sheeple were asleep at the wheel...

I like where this team is headed on the field, hate this artsy left-wing path the Jones' are forcing upon the Americas Team...

"Left-wing artsy" stuff pushed by a Texas oil baron billionaire? OK.

Completely agree....boys should be raised as boys into men and girls into women.

Abuse of power no surprise? Well "absolute power corrupts absolutely"....look at what those in power are doing now....over 200 years of how things are done in the senate have now changed....people being forced to do things by the .gov that we shouldn't be forced to...but back to sports.

I think it is a good idea to raise girls to be independent and to be able to take care of themselves, so they never have to depend on men to pay the bills. I do practice what I preach, too. I'm not sure how to raise girls like boys, though. Someone else is going to have to figure that out.
