Did you guys read this latest statement released by Whaley's agent?

 

"I regret the comments I made earlier today. Instead of saying that football was not meant to be played by human beings, I meant to say that football was, in fact, meant to be played by human beings. In the future, I will take greater care to ensure that my words are not taken out of context and mischaracterized in such a way again."

I heard him say it this morning also and just thought he was just referring to violent collisions and that sometimes some guys get hurt. I didn't read too much into it.

That's all it was, but, we won't let anything derail us from having a good hate filled thread.

I can't figure out why people are freaking out about this. He wasn't saying the NFL shouldn't exist. He was saying that the human body was not created to play football. The human body did not evolve for the purpose of playing football. That is all.

 

Stop with the insults. Whaley isn't an idiot biting the hand that feeds him. Consider the context of the conversation and the rest of what he said.

 

Jesus, some people are just sitting around waiting for people to screw up so they can pounce. Let it go.

Thank you for the injection of common sense.

Looking back then ahead:

  1. Absurd conclusion reached
  2. Absurd conclusion amplified on team message board
  3. Absurd conclusion questioned
  4. Questioner = mindless shill, blind to reality

The clown show at OBD has me wondering if this is actually a real quote or just a joke.

He has released another qualifying statement:

 

"What I actually meant to say is that all humans are cleared to play football by our medical staff. I have complete confidence in that staff. Everyone will be a day one starter. No if something were to happen....."

Glad to know Draymond isn't the only one who enjoys kicking people in the nuts!

No doubt it was something odd to say - but I think what he really meant was these players are human and they will most assuredly get hurt playing this violent game. Therefor don't make injuries deem a player injury prone.

Yeah , but you can't criticize and bury the guy if you have a rational reaction to the comments....

What is wrong with the comment? I must be an idiot too.

Oh.

Understanding this comment is not the only test for membership in the club......

Intellectually, it makes perfect sense. The human body isn't meant to throw a baseball at 95 MPH or jump out of an airplane either.

 

But he has to know what a sh#tstorm a comment like that is going to create when all people want to hear is soundbites.

 

Some media training and/or better in-house PR may be what the doctor ordered.

I have to say when he said it, I wondered if it wouldn't bite him in the azz considering the concussion schittstorm the NFL is going through.
