The Giants have revealed retro uniforms for their [100th season](https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/40153369/new-york-giants-nfl-uniform-commemorative-100-season), and they are hideous. ---

For some reason they make me think of a roller derby team, am I the only one?

One of the Packers’ first throwback uniforms (from the league’s 75-year celebration in 1994) also had tan pants – to evoke the look of old-style canvas football pants – and I had the same reaction then.

I’m a member of a bunch of Chiefs fans social media groups. There are far more people who are supportive of Butker than oppose him. Most of the comments castigate the intolerance of the Left, even though most of the anti-Butker comments speak to his right to say what he thinks, even though they don’t agree with him. ---

The Chiefs will visit the White House on May 31, meeting with President Biden to celebrate their Super Bowl victory. One wonders if Harrison Butker will attend, and, if he does, will have anything to say.
