NFL vs Porn

Packers defensive end Ryan Pickett had hoped to attend National Porn Sunday, a Feb. 6 religious service whose anti-pornography message will be broadcast to 300 churches across the country on Super Bowl Sunday.

But, it turns out, he has a conflict...


The video includes personal stories of other current and former NFL players, including quarterbacks Matt Hasselbeck of the Seattle Seahawks and Jon Kitna of the Dallas Cowboys. They're seen touting the ministry and its software, which tracks a user's Internet movements, sending a weekly list of sites visited to the user's "accountability partners" - say, friends or a spouse.

Hasselbeck says it's strengthened his marriage and gives his wife "a lot of security."

Josh McCown, who spent seven years in the NFL before signing on with the United Football League, tells viewers he began to deal with his porn problem because he feared it was "taking me someplace I didn't want to go."

"It's a whole lot easier to tell your wife you're struggling with it than to have her walk in on you," he says in the video.

I'm sure they get a lot of people who will be sorely disappointed when they show up. This sounds like one of those deals police agencies use to round up fugitives.

 

Even the mighty NFL is no match for porn.

Advantage: Porn.

 

My only issue with this is that the football players would be involved in this on Super Bowl Sunday. Probably get a better turn out this Sunday or the one after the Super Bowl.

 

These guys, basically, are supporting an invasion of civil liberties in the name of religion.
Sounds kind of al-Qaida to me.

 

What else do you expect from bluenose busybodies? Can people mind their own business? Guess not.

Why highrolling NFL stars would prefer porn over their trophy wives is a mystery -- unless, of course,
their wives are epic morons . . .

 

How so? Nothing in that story indicates to me that they advocate government intervention into pornography use and distribution. The laptop/PC trackers were voluntary.

Admittedly I haven't read all the church's literature on porn, so maybe they do advocate its outlaw (as do some feminists presumably on the other side of the political aisle, by the way). But the Journal-Sentinel article seems to indicate that it merely sees it as a vice that can have a corrosive effect on relationships, and people should take personal responsibility to limit or eliminate their porn use.

That doesn't seem that off-the-wall to me, nor advocacy of an invasion of civil liberties. Not any more than AA or NA does.

 

I just hope Ryan Pickett hasn't been worshipping with Mark Chmura.

 

Or, you know, Palm Sunday.

 

Here's the website for the event. They even have a logo.

Large men crashing into and injuring each other = good.
Two people fucking = bad.

Okay, got it.

 

Invasion? These tracking or accountability methods are used with voluntary consent.

Your "civil liberties" argument is idiotic and specious.
