Golden Goat Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) It's not the word -- It's the disrespect. I don't see how Mayock can keep AB and not lose the respect of everyone on that team. Edited September 6, 2019 by Golden Goat 2

Win #1, he is released and signs with whatever team he likes. If no one signs him, Win #2, he sues the league like Kap. Bigger payoff and you don't have to beat the crap out of your body. I think he has a bigger lawsuit/case against the NFL and the manufacturer of his previous helmet for the brain damage he has suffered from taking headshots.....

It's from 30 Rock, their first or second live episode. That's John Hamm being hit by Tracy Morgan. 1

I'm more personally offended by someone else's steak order or preference in wings than if they were to call me every racial slur in the book. Its a fundamental disconnect. I hate the term but I suppose its "privilege" that no combination of words in the English language relating to my race, gender, ethnicity, or skin color carries any weight with me. Ranch instead of blue cheese is offensive 1

I think the majority are saying it doesn't upset them and they wouldn't care, just that it's hypocritical that a 'racist term' (it is racist cause it's meant to be a derogatory term based on a person's skin color) is ok against someone who's white. Most blacks don't seem to have an issue with a certain word as long as it's not spoken from someone who is white.... 3
starrymessenger Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 20 minutes ago, Captain Murica said: Yup, it was meant disrespect and belittle the individual. Doesn’t carry the same weight as other slurs. But, no one worth a damn wants to be compared to a slave owner. Apparently this expression predates the plantation era and condescendingly denotes a white person too poor to own slaves. Ironically there is no shame or disrepute in being poor. Owning other people on the other hand...
BuffaloBillsGospel Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 It's really sad to see this happen with AB, at the end of the day he's a hall of famer, he has put his heart and soul into getting to where he is and now we see this side of him that to me screams some type of emotional issue. He was never a problem up until this past year in Pittsburgh and all of a sudden he's a diva, problem child, wife beater and now a racist? I think there is alot more going on with him and hope he gets the help he needs. He was a good story back in the day clawing his way up the depth chart as a 6th rounder, I'd really like him to turn it around in Oakland.

Times sure were different then, weren't they? Could you imagine a sitcom today where a husband threatens to beat his wife at least once an episode? ?

It doesn’t offend me personally and don’t see anyone riled up that he said it. I think it’s not something you would say to your boss, however. And just another sign of the dysfunction that he brings. The forced, band aid apology is predictable.

Antonio Brown attends Raiders team meeting, gives “emotional apology” Posted by Michael David Smith on September 6, 2019, 12:23 PM EDT Raiders wide receiver Antonio Brown is back at the team facility today, trying to make amends.

whatdrought Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 Im comfortable saying I don’t really care about that word, and that AB is a douche for using it and should get cut.
