  1. Wow what a great opposing view. Do you have anything of substance to say or is that what you do to avoid having a discussion you don't have the intelligence to engage in? I'm gonna go with the latter.
  2. Well for one thing you act like those are the only cities that had massive protests which is absurd. Especially in the case of New York, did you forget they had a ridiculously high number of cases, like way more than everyone else for awhile before the protests? Of course those numbers are down from what they were then because they were insanely high. To act like having massive gatherings didn't effect the numbers, your'e completely kidding yourself.
  3. Gundy's not always wrong either.
  4. There's a lot at play here. Not trying to downplay the seriousness of this issue but if you run with every hysterical social media post or story the news posts on this you are very easily manipulated. They have to keep the hysteria up because it sells. It should be of no shock to anyone that there is a spike in cases right now. It's like everyone forgot we just had a shit ton of massive gatherings in protest of police brutality. But if you watch CNN they say that had nothing to do with it which is absurd.
  5. Oh I am very aware of the ignorance that reigns supreme within the human species. A lot of it is reflected on this board.
  6. Those are probably the same 20% who believe Elvis is still alive.
  7. Uhh, that's not really how language works. You don't get to decide or control who says what. It's not possible. I doubt if all the words that came out of your shit mouth were able to be heard that you would have a job on Monday.
  8. Completely agree. I will not lose a wink of sleep over the names or the statues.
  9. It was rumored the 12th man was the one who whipped the slaves.
  10. While that is a hilarious response, Fat people don't have as much to gain as black people do in this country. Fat people have everything to lose. Get it. Wink. Wink.
  11. Except we aren't winning that much.
  12. The problem with blm is they were promoted by the Russians in a political move to divide the races. If they were storming Washington to make change like some sort of Malcom X movement I would totally be behind it but it's always just holding some rally and screaming at cops. Not really that impactful honestly. On their website they are openly unapologetic about promoting the black race only. Which I guess is fine but it alienates a lot of other people who probably agreed with you.
  13. yep pretty much.
  14. Maybe there is no evidence because they didn't let it bother them and you heard nothing about it because they thought it was trivial. When someone doesn't make a scene it doesn't make news headlines. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.
  15. I'm not arguing for the use of it. I said words are trivial and they only affect you if you allow them too. There's a huge difference.
  16. I just think they are reaching too far on what I see as a trivial issue. Like B. Jones said, the song itself doesn't have racist intent. I don't want to pretend like I know their feelings about it but there comes a point where you should really examine is this really worth the trouble? All the other stuff I totally understand why they would want that and they should get it but this is asking a little too much in my opinion and obviously even in the opinions of former players.
  17. There's a lot of thin skin out there today for sure. But what amazes me is people think because they don't use a few words they can say as much horrible shit with the rest of them as they want. Like it's ok if you call someone a piece of shit cancer to society as long as you don't say one of the banned words. It's hilarious and hypocritical.
  18. Translation: I have no argument.
  19. Maybe if you were in a leadership role. It's still not the words that hurt you in that scenario. It's the violence. That scenario relies on getting everyone on the same page to hit you in the face which is next to impossible. I see the correlation but that's a reaching counter point.
  20. That's not true. I have black friends who don't care if the word is said at all. The idea that you can control what someone says or thinks is ridiculous. So I don't understand why you would worry about it. It's not like legislation or violence. Words have next to no impact unless you either allow it or are a child who's brain is still developing. If I were you, I would stop speaking for all black people. They don't all think the same way you know?
  21. I mean that's all well and good in theory but it definitely could go a completely different direction. Meaning they get their demands met then they make more later. I have no idea what they would be its just hypothetical. I guess we cross that bridge when we get there.
  22. I would say demanding money be given to BLM is pretty unreasonable. But that's just my opinion. And who's to say there won't be more demands even if you meet all these?
  23. I mean no one can really hurt you with words unless in your mind you give them permission to do so. They matter way less than anything else.
