This famous person once owned a pro football franchise but is better known for taking out a full page ad in a famous newspaper asking for children to be killed.

Who does that?

The New Jersey Generals were 25-11 during Trump's time as USFL team owner during the 1984 and 1985 seasons.

More winning for Trump, his supporters would say.

Trump detractors would point to New Jersey's 0-2 postseason mark and the league folding in 1986.

They were known as the Central Park 5. Five boys ages 14 to 16. A New York real estate developer named Donald Trump took out a 2 page ad in the New York Times asking that these kids be killed. Who does that?

Folding was inevitable but Trump’s signing of Walker sped up the process. It always happens with these startup leagues - one breaks ranks and wants to play with the big boys.

I remember me and my dad had season tickets to the New Jersey Generals games. Some of the most fun seasons even though they didn't draw that well, it was the pro incarnations of some proven to be big names like Jim Kelly and Herschel Walker. Some of those nicknames wrre pretty funny. Washington Federals, Boston Breakers, LA Express to name a few.

He wanted to kill kids?
Your response speaks volumes. Another white nationalist that condones racist behavior!

You failed the moral test bigly! That was predictable!

Your response speaks volumes. You turn a blind eye to something a morally solid person would condemn.

You failed the moral test bigly!

Btw, I condemn everything he has done. My moral compass is as full as it gets.

It’s not EOM - Eye on Morality, but we can call it Eye on Morons and dedicate it to BR.

Good story, Jimmy.

And who can forget the greatest nickname of all...the Houston Gamblers.
