Rowbots/Purple Rowbians/Whatever we call ourselves these days -

As you all know, especially if you read the Community Guidelines, Purple Row is a staunchly apolitical site. I've found, in my experience, that political discussions tend to bring nothing but discord and frustration, so we've avoided it completely.

That said, SOPA is something that could completely derail the work that us here at Purple Row, SB Nation Denver, and the rest of the SB Nation Network do.

So the position of our uppers at SB Nation (mine, Rox Girl's, Russ', all of ours) is that we officially oppose SOPA.

Click into this link for a more detailed description of SB Nation's stance.

I still don't get why everyone is so against soup.

Was there some contaminated Broccoli Cheddar at Panera this week?

FYI if you live in Colorado

Senator Bennett is a sponsor of the bill. Something to consider next election.

Ok, Von Doom is a way better nickname than what I liked. So cool to be excited about a pass rush in Denver again!

I want to say how awesome a particular Rockies player is and that he will be the MVP, but the last time I mentioned it in my sig he went out with an injury, so, GO PLAYER WHO IS SO AWESOME!

He's good until 2016.

Nothing like front-loading the bad ideas.

True

But he can still be kicked out in 4 years. I was not voting for him because of some other decisions he has made already, this was a nail though in the coffin.

And Jared Polis as been one of its strongest opponents.

I’ve been hearing about SOPA/PIPA for quite some time since it affects basically everyone in both of my fields, film and web media. It is truly a bipartisan issue, as you find staunch support and opposition to these on both sides of the aisle. The biggest connecting factor is how connected to the mainstream creative industries they are.

This bill is bizarre.

NO-ONE wants it. Left, right, liberal, libertarian, whatever, we’re all allied in our scorn and mistrust of the corporate and political interests that want to throttle the greatest source of personal freedom and information the world has ever known.

I think it has to be because they don't understand how much damage

it can actually do.

I just think this is one of the dumbest ideas ever.

Why would you take away something that has helped this country so much? People like this have their heads up their asses so far, that their head tries to come back out the neck area. This is why I don’t watch the news anymore. Its all politics. I hate hearing and seeing the crap about this one said that, this one said this. I don’t care. Take yourself, flip yourself inside out and go take a flying leap off the Royal Gorge bridge. That way, we don’t have to worry about your stupidness anymore.

Thank you, signed Roxman4ever.

31 today, 30 tomorrow is how many days remain until Pitchers and Catchers report for Spring Training. Plus, iits only 3 days until I go to Las Vegas to bowl in a professional tournament and 4 days until I start bowling
Self taught and falling in love with this game is very easy to do, you can never hate it, and that is something that not one person can take away from anybody. The love of baseball and OUR COLORADO ROCKIES.
