Is it virtue signaling if the entity making the statement believes it?

I thought he compared Boehner to Netanyahu.

I have no clue. His last rating was an 81 and there has been zero film on him since. I do not know how they would adjust his rating in the absence of film and I haven't seen anything to suggest they won't update his rating in the event he gets signed and there's something tangible to base it on. Now I have an ask for you. Now armed with the definitions, make your case that a video game rating meets the criteria for virtue signaling. Weak.

Perhaps you are offbase on the original meaning of the phrase and describe things you don't like tangentially related to social justice or "political correctness" as virtue signaling like most everyone else who eagerly uses the phrase like a new toy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtue_signalling The history of the term is based on cheap, disingenuous statements instead of any real commitment or action. Often it comes in the form of disingenuous outrage. The only outrage here is from all the man-children triggered by a rating in Madden. If you think putting the most polarizing figure in football in the game is a cheap action in this climate where social media is replete with calls to boycott the NFL, NBA, NASCAR, and NHL due to their support of BLM (ironically, by the same people who are outraged by #CancelCulture) then I disagree. If you think their actions are disingenuous, I would disagree. Looks to me that EA puts their money where their mouth is. Overrating the skills and attributes of a video game character because you want to align with their politics in the public eye, if accepted as virtue signaling, must be the most contemporary use of the term. I would say this is maybe "3rd level virtual graphical virtue signaling" at best which is now my phrase and I own the definition. @whatdrought happy now? Patience child.

Do your own homework, Sue.

The same way the people who coined the phrase defined it.

Peterman's first career INT was intended for DiMarco and bounced right off the crown of his helmet. That was memorable. The first of many.

Oh so it was a joke? Was it funny?

So if we had 10 fewer felons in ERie county would that open up a roster spot? I have never seen this logic before.

I'm convinced that no one actually knows how to use this term correctly. Over rating a player in Madden due to their politics because you think your market will buy it is not "virtue signalling".

Can you give me an estimate? Ballpark the number of felons?

Been there a few times. I never understand the logic. Do they assume that the other party is a fat liar too? Do they assume no one will notice? Or are they even dumber and think that once someone gets to know them a little bit over a drink they'll fall in love with their fat personality?

How many are there?

I thought you started training in MMA because your girl was gaining too much weight and the power balance was shifting?

Maybe we should wait for someone to actually crown Moss the next coming of Barry Sanders before condemning someone for crowning Moss the next Sanders?

Check out Palm Springs on Hulu.

I picked up John Brown in the 10th round, 111th pick. I grabbed Dawson Knox with my last pick. Singletary went 40th overall in my 12 man league. Top of the 4th.

Not butthurt in the least. You're a reluctant student and I am looking for ways to get through to you lest you waste your life making bad food choices. I figured a more in your face approach was suitable for the TikTok and TidePod generation.

Nice try, Gase.

What an idiot! Everyone knows you get the same benefits from 6 pints a day.

Yes, and right now there is still no contest. DiBella's is far superior and anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot. Have a ***** day and a mediocre sub.

Anytime before Wegman's consulted with DiBellas to up their game which was in the late 90s. Let me guess, you think The Monkees are better than The Beatles too?

Yes, I've eaten many Wegman's subs. Wegmans subs were hot garbage until they collaborated with DiBella's and DiBella's showed them how to make a passable product. Wegman's makes a good sandwich but they still do not compare to the original. I can't speak to the DiBella's on Transit since I've only been to multiple locations around Rochester but I assume user error. You probably didn't wash your hands.

Have you ever had a DiBella's sub?

The Godfather at DiBella's is a superior sandwich.
