Patriot Data: Fill & Download for Free

Everywhere where more than 5 people who are not related to each other by blood are gathered.That would mean malls, public transport, traffic signals, vegetable markets, bars, restaurants, places of worship, offices, funerals, red-light areas etc.I think that singing 5 times a day is enough. Everyone who sings should be stamped on the forehead with the flag. A national anthem police force should be created so that vigilantism does not happen. That will also boost employment. Five stamps would enable one to skip singing in the 6th place they may visit in that day. Even if some sing along for more than 5 times, they cannot accumulate beyond 5 days. The extras will lapse.We should create a ‘National Patriotism Certification Agency’. Any person who gets 5 stamps a day, for 500 days in a row, would be entitled to a certificate and an award. Those who get the stamps (they have to produce proof) even when they travel abroad for work or pleasure, should get a certificate of a different colour to distinguish them. Those who do not get 5 stamps, say someone who cannot / does not leave home much, should have to make up within the calendar year or face fines.Every year along with GDP data, we should publish ‘patriotism data’. That way we can track how well we are doing.Very soon, given the size of the population, we will be the biggest, patriotic country in the world. YAY. I cannot wait for that day to dawn.I urge patriotic readers of this answer to not be swayed by the Supreme Court ruling on the matter of playing, singing and standing up for the national anthem. What do they know of the heart’s desires of patriotic Indians.

It’s true. The Patriots do have a disproportionate number of white skilled players- but it doesn’t have anything to do with racism. Rather, it has everything to do with finding value where other teams see nothing of value.White skilled players are a rare breed in the NFL, and to some extent, college football as well. If a white skill player excels in college, particularly from a small school, NFL scouts usually assume that they played so well because the opposition is so poor and that there is no way they could play in the NFL. Coincidentally, the same sort of discrimination happens to black quarterbacks.Basically, if you’re a white receiver, you are perceived to be too slow. And if you’re a black quarterback, you’re perceived to be a “running QB” who can’t throw with accuracy.So the Patriots, being the shrewd organization they are, has a knack for finding the underrated players and snatch them up.Look at Julian Edelman, a QB in college who had some of the most amazing speed in the 2009 combine. He ran one of the fastest 40 times among receivers and the fastest shuttle time of anyone regardless of position[1]But, a white QB that runs fast? Why do the Patriots need another QB when they have Tom Brady? What’s the point of drafting Edelman?The Patriots answer? Convert him to WR. Let him learn the system and make him the heir apparent to Wes Welker (the best slot receiver in Patriots history- also white btw). Fast forward ten years and that’s exactly what happened. Julian Edelman is one of the best receivers in the game. And they got him at a bargain price of a seventh round draft pick.And Chris Hogan?He’s another one of Brady’s trusted (white) receivers. Hogan was undrafted because he played lacrosse at Penn State for four years, and only played a year of football at Monmouth University since he had one year of eligibility left, where he played pretty much every position including punter. The guy was the Swiss Army knife of college football players.He entered the 2011 NFL combine and proved to be an athletic freak of nature, recording a 4.39 40 time, and showing some serious strength by bench pressing 225 pounds an unheard of 28 times. That’s strength you expect from a lineman, not a receiver.[2]Hogan was never drafted and bounced around from team to team, never really finding a home until he had a breakout season with the Bills in 2015. He become a restricted free agent at the end of the season and the Patriots made him an offer they knew the Bills couldn’t match, and the rest is history. Coincidentally this is a similar tactic that the Patriots pulled with the Dolphins when they signed away Wes Welker in 2007 (who the Dolphins knew they weren’t going to resign because they didn’t think he was worth the money he wanted).[3]There are numerous other examples of white Patriots skilled position players that were somehow undervalued or converted to other positions. Take FB James Develin, a DE in college who was converted into a fullback (and a damn good one)[4] . Or former RB Danny Woodhead who went undrafted, then signed by the Jets for one year as a special teamer. The Patriots signed him after the Jets cut him and he had three very productive years.The Patriots are loaded with black skilled position players, too. Players like James White, Sony Michel, Cordarrelle Patterson, Phillip Dorset, have been critical to the 2018 team’s success. And I don’t even need to mention former players like Randy Moss, Cory Dillon, Troy Brown, Kevin Faulk and many others. But if you look at the team as a whole, and take away the skin color of any of these players to look only at the stats and the data, you’ll see exactly why the Patriots are so successful. They take advantage where other teams undervalue certain players. It just so happens that there are some overlooked white receivers and running backs that no one wanted to take a chance on. The Patriots took advantage of the situation, and they came up on top.In the Belichick era the Patriots have six Super Bowl wins, nine appearances, and eight straight AFC championship appearances in a row- you can’t really argue with the results here. The Patriots are masters at maximizing value out of players, period.*Edit: Wow, I never thought this answer would get over 50,000 views and over 300 upvotes!Also, I was incorrect when I said Edelman was invited to the combine. His times were recorded at the pro day at Kent State. Regardless, he was fast as hell and the fact that he didn’t get invited to the combine kind of proves my point about the Patriots going after undervalued players from small overlooked schools.Anyways, thanks for all the feedback!Footnotes[1] Getting to know super sleeper Julian Edelman[2] New England Patriots WR Chris Hogan is a freak athlete[3] Patriots deal for Welker, ink him to $18.1M deal[4] James Develin - Wikipedia

Hmm. Interesting leading question with loads of assumptions and even more interesting answers with even more assumptions.I have lived in Delhi and Pune for 15 years combined, 1/3rd of my life spent outside Tamil Nadu. And I do not feel qualified to comment on these states except for some cultural aspects. If people think they can answer such a delicate question because they have worked in Chennai for few years and so they understand TN as a whole, power to them. Even more power to people who can find a way of linking Dravidian politics to this question (assuming that this is even valid).Hey look at this piece of data, it says everything about TN. It does not figure in top 5 in anything:Correct dude, but it also states that it is for just one year. Indian Army was not raised in 2011, just saying. This data is for FREAKING one year only and does not tell anything.On the other hand, this data below tells something else:[Source - Welfare of Ex-Servicemen, Welfare of Ex-Servicemen]This is government published data, valid as on 2015. Now after looking at this data, “regionalism”, “sub-nationalism” have all decided to commit suicide because they do not have a data to stand on.Adjusted for population, Kerala and Tamil Nadu are top in South India. Language is the issue, no? What issue, I do not see any.Due to its colonial legacy, Indian Army has disproportionate amount of soldiers from Punjab and Haryana, agreed. But the modern Indian army also has disproportionate amount of South Indians in technical branches. But but regionalism, sub-nationalism, Dravidian ideology?? Pure BS. For the record, MGR of DMK donated Rs. 75,000 during Indo-China war.Tamils do not send men to navy because they are upset with Indian navy. Yeah right, Oscar Stanley Dawson and Sushil Kumar Isaac, two Chiefs of Naval Staff, descended from heavens, not from Kanyakumari.Pakistan apprehends 22 Indian fishermen off Gujarat coastDo we hear anyone saying that Gujarat is not sending anyone to Navy because they are not happy with Indian Navy. No, we do not. Just for the record, a landlocked state like Uttarakhand and Rajasthan have produced CNS, Gujarat with a long coastline has not.If you want to paint an entire state with black brush of negativity, please come up with better data, even more importantly convincing data. We Tamils do not need any patriotism certificate from anyone. If we have to get into patriotism slugfest, I can post mountains of data right from freedom struggle to Bharat Ratnas state by state. But it is not my intention to portray any state in poor light because each state has its own character and history.Major Parameswaran of Mahar Regiment lost his life killing Tamil Tigers - “regionalism” “sub-nationalism”???? Don’t freaking preach patriotism to us.
