Coach Tuesday

He’s mental. And a raging racist a-hole. But people like you flocking to this thread to say “See! I told you they’re all hypocrites!” are just poisoning the discussion. It’s tiresome and transparent.

This is a very uninformed, negligent take. That said, the Black community has a troubling history of anti-Semitism and homophobia. It’s a fair criticism of the Left that it tends to have a real blind spot for these issues. But it’s a really weak take to suggest that the entire anti-racist movement is somehow delegitimized because one Black dude said something bigoted. Also, as a Jew, while his statements piss me off, I find them so insane that I can’t get too worked up about them. The whole thing sounds mental.

The owner who signs his checks, and the GM who brought him in, are both Jewish. DJ is a straight up moron.

This thread exists why?

It really is. I know people who went to the hospital with COVID and never came out. No pre-existing conditions. Their families are devastated. But some folks think they get to have the "opinion" that masks don't do anything and it's their right not to wear them, that we've waited long enough to crowd into concerts and bars and restaurants and monster truck rallies. Great American Idiocy is on full display right now.

You’re trolling. You know that’s not how opinions work right? You don’t get to have the “opinion” that the Earth is flat. You know this - you just enjoy poking anyone you think is a “liberal” - there’s nothing you enjoy more, I suspect.

It may be time to start rooting for the virus.

Dude you realize the logo is backwards right? ?????

Horrible scouting program and no idea how to build a roster/allocate resources. At least Tim Murray could evaluate talent - he just pissed everyone off who worked with him and squandered draft picks too freely. Botterill couldn't even evaluate talent. He torched the roster and set the team back another 5 years.

The problem is probably extremely complicated and not capable of being reduced to chewable soundbites or political talking points. The steady erosion of the middle class. The reduction and elimination of social welfare services leaving the police to pick up the slack. The prison-industrial complex as a powerful lobbying group with a direct financial incentive to push heavy-handed and draconian police procedures. The embedded reactionary-ism of unions. The ghettoization of, well, urban ghettos and the unequal distribution of, and access to, basic human needs and services. Changing national demographics and the inability of the (soon to be former) white majority to adapt to changing times and global competition for trade and intellect. Etc. etc. It is a multi-layered problem - a societal Rubik’s Cube that is nearly impossible to solve. Racism exists. But it does not come close to explaining what we’re witnessing.

This exists...

I have a strong feeling about this! I am entitled to my opinion no matter what anyone else says. Please don’t push so-called “facts” on me. The other side doesn’t care about facts - they’re brainwashed by a corrupted and partial media. I have every right to my opinion and nothing anyone could say will ever make me change it. The Constitution says so!

I’m tired.

I feel like we’re drifting here. Making fun of someone because of their appearance isn’t nice. Making fun of someone because of their race isn’t PC and is widely frowned upon. Denying someone equal access to rights and benefits (or their life or liberty) because of their race is racism.

Great! We agree.

So if the private employer ok's kneeling during the anthem, you're good with it?

See how this works?

Oh come on! Just own it.

It’s political. Keep it out.

Including the anthem itself and the Air Force flyovers?

Maybe he’d undertake that near-impossible task if you first post some examples of you actually changing your mind about something in your lifetime.

And? ?

I’ve heard plenty of folks in this thread suggest removing the anthem ritual from the pre-game. So yes? Personally I have no problem with it if the Army wants to advertise and certain people want to express their patriotism or whatever and others want to kneel. To each his or her own, Gerry. But I’m sure you’ll go dig up some incident from 1983 when Joe Biden discussed his love of the national anthem and waive it in our faces as some kind of “See they’re all hypocrites!” retort.

Inaugerations?
