Isn't harassment already a crime?
I believe that a lot of laws are passed to try to outlaw people being ASSHOLES. It won't work.

This Pocket news feature thing on Firefox is really quite good. It just shows a lot of content that i want to read.

Apparently one of the players lost and started shooting. It's pretty brutal.

I kind of want to comment about McCain... but it would be rather harsh, and I don't know that peeps want to see/hear it. >.>

Politics are pretty much banned.
Linking a news article is one thing.
-
Yeah.. and the term "politics" is often so poorly defined that an aweful lot of things are dumped under that umbrella, whether actually political or not, so I suppose I'll just refrain.

Yeah, it's popular though. League of Legends is also a bad game and so is Fortnite.

I know OF those two, but don't know them. Madden I know from decades ago, but haven't heard of anyone playing it in forever. Had no idea it had any kind of following.
-
@scottalanmiller It is the most popular sports game of all time. Yearly releases for 25 years.

Most popular and "still has a following" don't necessarily line up. I knew it was big for a long time. But haven't heard about it in years now. Not that I can remember. I don't know anything about, say, Fortnight, but I hear it mentioned places non-stop. I figured if I said "Madden Football" to someone under 25 today, they'd look blankly at me and when I explained what it was they'd tell me it died out before they started gaming. Amazing that it's still popular.
-
Not that I know OTHER football games that would be better, just amazing that that one has held on so long.
-
Popular != good
It only has new releases to generate income for EA
Aside from cosmetics, the game has not changed since this was released.
