I am shocked that someone would express their opinion on their personal twitter page. Shocked. 

 

Unfortunately, opinion/entertainment "news" draws much better ratings than good old cut and dried journalism. I actually prefer a no-running-away-from-it-opinion being expressed by a "journalist" than the usual dodge which is the host of a show asking some expert, "is that really acceptable?" The host's opinion gets out through the use of a puppet.  That is essentially the format for about 98% of the "news". 

 

And it is our fault. Americans long ago decided that they really don't want fair reporting unless it favors their opinions. More drama=more clicks=more $

Marcel is saying his answer is unacceptable because he doesn’t agree with his worldview

 

This is journalism today, sports or otherwise. Sports journalists are a dime a dozen. Pretty much anyone can do it, and often times it's done better by your average team blogger than by someone who puts it on their business card.

 

When what you do for a living can be done by pretty much anyone, you need something to give you some separation. Boldly standing in judgement of those in sports who you interviewed -- owners, managers, coaches, players -- is usually the ticket. 

 

You're watching people in a dying profession grasp for anything.

what is an “objective reporter”? I’ve never heard of this thing 

Hunter Thompson would be objective if you had drugs...

It’s so true.  There are some people who genuinely don’t what sports mixing with politics because they genuinely want to escape it.  An ex of mine’s dad was like that.  He hated politics and never wanted to hear about it.

 

but there are a lot of people who don’t want sports mixing with politics now because it disagrees with their politics.

Or by the posters on this board! This place is usually 1st stop shop for any Bills content I need to get, including deep analysis dives.

Yes I saw it. I also read it.

Here is what McD should tell his players:

 

No political talk. No Anthem talk. No religious talk. No money talk. No drugs talk. No covid-19 talk. No former spouses or gf talk. No swearing talk. No 'I'm the best" talk. No, "I want the football talk" . No rude or crude jokes talk. No racial talk. No gender talk. No general talk. No Sarcasm talk. No disrespect talk. No pessimism talk. And No gossip talk, to name a few..

What is wrong with that? What’s missing? You don’t know Jake Fromm and you don’t know what he does or doesn’t do to love people- not answering a political question isn’t a cop out, it’s wise.

 

There's nothing wrong with it...unless you don't believe in God or Jesus Christ. If you don't, you're less likely to understand what Fromm is trying to say and much more likely to accuse him of hiding behind his religion.

 

If Fromm said "I stand by what I said and I don't care!" then everyone would be clamoring about what a piece of dirt he is and he should be cut. But by admitting he he made a mistake and has learned a better way for the future,  people who don't believe in God or Christ still clamor because the better way Fromm found (his faith) is not a viable answer to those people. Fromm's just a Jesus freak.

Because people keep purposely try to ignore the message.  Not one person has said other Lives don’t matter.  So people saying this are being completely disingenuous.

 

the best way to understand how dumb saying all lives matter is right now is to think of a funeral.  Someone’s family member died.  What kind of disrespectful idiot would get up in the middle of the service and start yelling “what about my grandmother who passed away??? Doesn’t her life matter?”

 

if you told me something you were struggling with and bothering you, I would listen and be empathetic.  I won’t be like I have my own problems and find reasons not to listen. 
 

as for love god, love people, a lot of people love to say that but not as many truly do that.  A lot of people love using God as a crutch.

 

People are reluctant to use the phrase BLM because of the organization and its beliefs.  Not because of the phrase in itself.

 

FBI stats show that approximately less than 300 African Americans are killed each year by police.  Only about 10 percent, meaning less than 30 of them are unarmed.  The vast majority of these killings are justified.  Cases like George Floyd are hyped-up, but clearly the exception to the rule.  Meanwhile, over 2500 African Americans are killed each year by non-police.  So if I truly cared about black lives, why in the world would I be screaming to abolish or de-fund the police?  I'm ignoring a much BIGGER problem, simply to appease outrage over a minority of cases.  

 

I'm all for looking into ways to decrease police brutality and solve this problem.  But BLM doesn't want to hear it.  They want police gone.  Period.  And any African American who speaks out against their ideas is considered an outcast.  I live in St. Louis where a black police officer was killed during the "protests", and BLM doesn't even care.  That's not even starting to consider their support for violent riots, their Marxist political beliefs, their blatant anti-white racism and their ideas that actually discourage traditional families/fatherhood.

With all due respect, this is like a foxnews version of BLM.  Instead of listening to organizations that love dividing, talk to a person of color and get their perspective.   You might understand why Floyd (far from Model citizen but didn’t deserve to die that did) got killed over $20 while Dyann Roof (murdered a bunch of black church worshippers) got taken in peacefully and gets Burger King?  And plenty of people care about David Dorn. Stop trying to hide be him. 
 

some of you love hiding behind some crazy ideas (sometimes religion) instead of genuinely trying to learn why some people are so upset about.

Personally, I hate it.  Look at the kardashians before and after pictures.  It’s cheating.

You're probably pissing in the wind. The fact that BLM -- in their own words -- is an admitted Marxist group that wants to do away with the nuclear family is lost on those who think the name of the organization is all that matters.

 

Let Marcellus Wiley break it down for those who aren't fully aware.

Quit putting all "people of color" in a box.  Not every African American believes in these ideas.  Not even close.

Would you like to know what the black cop at my church thinks of BLM?  My last response was pretty tame considered to what he would say.

 

I don't need any news station to tell me what BLM believes.  It's on their website.  

https://blacklivesmatter.com/what-we-believe/

 

This was exactly my original point, and why civil discourse has literally become impossible.

If you believe taking the police out of minority communities is going to save black lives, I think your absolutely and positively nuts.  It goes against common sense, and every imaginable crime statistic the FBI can assemble.

all this response from MLJ says to me is he isn't a Christian. If he were he would realize that as has been mentioned what Fromm stated was scriptural.

In his view loving God leads to loving all people. You don't have to accept that philosophy, but that's what he's trying to say.

 

Nothing he said was going to be accepted by all. When you talk about politics AND religion you are estranging half the population automatically.

 

And apparently if you say you don't want to talk about those things you are also offending people. So really it's a lose lose situation for the kid.

I don't. None of it. That insane crap is the true root of ALL evil. The most sublime part being one doesn’t even have to believe. Just say you do and half the people forgive anything you say or do. Ridiculous. Sky fairies... ?‍♂️ YEEEESH!

I think loving your fellow man and serving god is totally fine. I’m not religious but I’m generally all for people finding ways to live with love in their hearts.
 

I think In response to that question, and compounded further by the context of his situation and his previous comments, it’s a rather lackluster answer both if he was truly answering or if he was dodging the question.

Fromm's answer was a political litmus test. The usual suspects all see it as one way or another.

 

The major problem is MLJ injecting his own opinion in his report.  If Tim Graham pulled this crap, everyone would lose it on him.

For some people. I’m a catholic, went to catholic school, had religion as a class every year.  I believe in GoD and have my own relationship that I don’t need to prove to anyone else.  But there are certainly some crazy notions in there. 
 

islam is a very peaceful religion but some idiots become terrorists.  There was the crusades.  There are KKK and Nazis who say they are Christians.
