To millenials who know nothing but gaming, I suppose it is. To me? It's just gaming.
I suppose Madden Football will be considered for NFL this season. Not that I care.

my brother-in-law is a RV mechanic. His boss sent him to Dallas to take a class on how to deal with millennials so he doesn't hurt their feelings when they ask him stupid questions.

Bahahaha! Millennial sensitivity training! That’s priceless. Especially since it’s actually a thing.

Millenials? RV ownership? You gots to be kidding. Since when does a clapped-out camper shell duct-taped to a 20-year-old 7-cylinder pick-em-up qualify as an RV? I am offended by the thought.

   I guess spinning CV joints and drinking Miller iLife is how I'll get by.

Sounds like Fantasy Football too?  Fantasy Golf leagues?  Just "enjoying" the sport with no real effort>  I guess that fits right in with millennial's?  Maybe it comes with a cyber paycheck they can spend on stupid fantasy stuff?

NASCAR racer Bubba Wallace lost his sponsor after getting upset during his virtual race recently and storming off. Seems the Virtual races can have real consequences.

Does anyone here, considering the the oddball crap that's been going on all over in the last decade, feel that we have slipped into a parallel universe? Or maybe, the guy that runs the Matrix is passed out drunk somewhere and his kids are playing with the keyboard? Is there such a thing as Disassociated Reality Syndrome?

The good old days. When you could just write a song about it and move on.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miSMxBP42W0

What in the redglowing hell did i just read???? :o :o Fantasy racing,
Not hurting feelings...Only remedy is to hurt their feelings as much
as you can so they learn to get ower it.
I have a friend that is a doctor, one night when he worked at the
emergencie. In came a mother with her "Son" 22 years old Tatoed like a Maorie
warrior....The problem was his girlfriend had broke up with him so he was crying.....
So the mother demanded that my friend do something ??? ???
I can tell you my friend is an ex German Panzer officer so ;D ;D
that did not end well for the mother and her little soyboy
He asked the mother if he should call the girlfriend and tell her she is
not allowed to break up with him....or slap him in the face so he realy
had something to cry about.....Where is this world going? I want to jump
of this train

So maybe we can get the NHL back operating by having the hockey players play PacMan.They can charge us $150 plus a $25 service fee to watch live concerts on YouTube...with minimal commercials half way through each song...
