  1. Literally not one person has said Drew shouldn’t have the right to say what he said. Millions have said that the players shouldn’t have the right to protest, though.
  2. The US Mint doesn’t employ the people who are killing unarmed citizens, so kneeling during the coin flip doesn’t make a lot of sense.
  3. I can quit my job the second they tell me to do something I don’t want to do. My job doesn’t have the ability to imprison me.
  4. So then I guess they ARE signing up to do what they’re told. You’re really talking in circles.
  5. No. They go in for a bunch of reasons. The second they sign on the dotted line, it makes no difference why they signed up. They’re doing what they’re told. Period
  6. They can sign up for whatever reason they want. I can sign up for the military because I want to fly an F-16. That doesn’t mean I get to. It also doesn’t mean I can opt out of getting sent to die in some hellhole if I disagree with the cause.
  7. Pretty sure you don’t sign up to only fight for causes you believe in. You sign up to do what you’re told.
  8. While I agree with your sentiment, nobody in the military fights and dies for our freedoms. They fight and die because they’re told to. The military doesn’t let you pick and choose where, when, and how you fight. Whether those causes are good, bad, or indifferent have no bearing on whether or not you fight because you have no input in that decision. Once that 18 year old kid signs on the dotted line, he can only hope he risking his (or her) life for a “good cause”.
  9. Not when it hasn’t been included in the collective bargaining contract it’s not. And it may come as some surprise to you to learn that those buildings don’t belong to the teams in most cases. They are paid for with our tax dollars.
  10. So he can say that he disagrees with what they’re doing, but they can’t disagree with what he said? That doesn’t seem like a double standard or anything. If you like the anthem so much, feel free to listen to it on your iPod and stand at attention all you want. The US military pays for the anthem to be played before games. If players want to kneel during what is literally a paid advertisement, that is their right. If people want to piss and moan about it, that’s their right. If people want to put those people on blast, that’s their right. See how this works?
  11. The flag belongs to everyone, not just you.
  12. I wouldn’t think Bills fans would be so quick to hope QBs start making racially divisive tweets.
  13. Whatever happened to that guy, anyway? Did he retire?
  14. 4 people were arrested for the Charlottesville (white supremacist) riots. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/white-supremacists-arrested-on-charlottesville-riot-charges 10,000 protesters have been arrested in the last week.
  15. Nobody is advocating rioting here. We’re talking about a peaceful, silent protest. That’s still too much to ask, though. The only form of protest white America accepts from blacks is shutting their f——ing mouths.
  16. So if you’re speaking at a funeral for your child talking about how special she was, and I run in front of you and start yelling about how ALL children are special and not just yours, is that cool?
  17. White America is perfectly fine with black Americans protesting the murder of their community members by police as long as they do it where nobody can see them. Meanwhile, white Americans storm the capital with machine guns because Big Biscuit is closed.
  18. 4 years into his career, Dak has won 40 regular season games. He’s thrown 97 TDs and 36 INTs with just under 16,000 yards passing and a QB rating of 97. He’s made the playoffs twice and won one game throwing 5 TDs and 2 INTs with 794 passing yards and a rating of 95.7. To match that, Josh would have to win 25 regular season games in the next 2 seasons. He'll have to throw 67 TDs and 15 INTs with about 11,000 yards passing and a rating of around 120. He’ll need to win a playoff game for the first time, throw for 500 yards and 5 TDs with a rating of around 120 in those games. That’s not to surpass what Dak has done. That’s just to match it. Dak has that much of a lead with just a 2 year head start. It’s basically a 2 unanimous MVP caliber season difference just to pull even in terms of career accomplishments.
  19. C’mon now... He just said he’d pay Russell Wilson. Give him props for bold statements like that. Just go get a first ballot HOFer to play QB for 15 years and then draft a roster of all pros to put around him. Why don’t more GMs realize this?
  20. I think he meant 10th or slightly better which is exactly where most have them.
  21. No, the Browns were 11th. He caught hell last year for having SF too high at 7. KC was number 1, btw. He’s as good at this as anyone in the biz.
  22. Posters here will argue for months that Allen is a great QB who was held back by his WRs. Then after Beane traded 5 draft picks for Diggs, those same posters will swear the Bills weren’t desperate for a WR.
  23. Every kid from Southern California dreams of moving to upstate NY and is willing to pass up tens of millions to do so.
  24. Stats will tell you that Winston threw 30 INTs and Dak threw 11. Cherry picking stats leads to false positive results.
  25. Every late round QB is the next Tom Brady. Every QB who struggles for his first few years is the next Drew Brees. Unless they’re not on your team. Then every QB who gets off to a hot start is RGIII.
