I'd prefer that they did not kneel so the fans' experience could just be focused on football. I'm totally OK if the team got involved in social issues on the side. But if they do kneel, I hope it's just the first game of the year.

What happened to Drew Brees is symbolic of a sickness in our culture, where every word is parsed, every social media post is combed through, to see if someone has failed the test of racial viewpoint purity. If a prominent figure fails that, the virtue-signalers and SJWs twitter posse comes after...

Now you say that you don't agree with anyone disrespecting the flag, and that's deemed racist. Unbelievable.

I'd prefer they find another way to protest because I hate the politicizing of sports. I'm about done watching ESPN because I don't want to be lectured on how I should feel. But they should have the right to do it, no doubt. A fan at the game has the right to not watch them do it, if they...

More too amped from the standpoint that COVID-19 might wipe out the season than too amped because they won't meet expectations.

This is my last post on this issue, for my own sanity. Other than some idiot redneck mayor in Mississippi, everyone condemns what happened to Mr. Floyd. Heck, even Sean Hannity and Rush condemned it. But all we do in these types of discussion is talk over each other. If I agree there's...

It's not a false equivalency. It's pointing out that far worse outcomes are happening to black people from gang violence and black on black crime than are happening to black people from police brutality. They're both problems, but one is far worse than the other. One gets 24/7 attention while...

Meanwhile, there have been 200 black people killed in gang violence so far this year in Chicago. It's a far worse societal problem than what happened to George Floyd, as bad as that is. Yet nobody seems to care. Never any threads about it here. Never any lectures given to us about how we...

Some said they cried when he saw the video of George Floyd and understandably so. I just watched the Facetime, Facebook (whichever) video of the 19 year old young lady from Davenport whose sister was just shot and killed by a rioter the other day. I couldn't stop myself from crying when I...

We all agree that what happened to George Floyd was racist and a great injustice. We all agree that looting, assaulting people, and burning down businesses is wrong, though not as serious as what happened to Floyd. Let's just keep it at that, have a Kumbaya moment, and close this out.

The two sides are drawn up as to how much racism, unconscious bias and white privilege there is, not as to whether they exist or not, outside of perhaps a few white knuckleheads who think there are none of those things at all. Personally, I think there is less of those things than what SJWs...

in 2019, 19 unarmed white guys killed by cops, 9 unarmed black guys. True, that's still disproportional to the general population but then the sad fact is blacks also commit crimes disproportional to the general population. There have been 75% less shooting deaths of African-Americans as...

I agree with most of your post. I don't agree with Jon Miller's post about guilt. I don't feel guilty about the past history of racism because I didn't have anything to do with it. I do, however, recognize its effect on African Americans and history and how its harder to overcome it. But I...

Report just out that, in last five years in Minneapolis, there were 44 cases of suspects where the police had them in holds on or around their necks that caused them to lose consciousness. I think the chief of police there is in trouble too. Or should be. Doesn't excuse what Chauvin did so...

I don't think looting, burning down businesses, assaulting shop owners, slitting the throats of cops lends legitimacy to what Tyler Cook said. It's gone beyond honoring George Floyd now. If we really believe that that kind of behavior is "understandable" then there's really something wrong...

I see the pain in black peoples' faces and I don't blame them for being outraged or for anyone to be outraged for that matter. But just a few thoughts. Did this bad cop also rough up white guys like that? I think that's relevant. If this happened to a white guy, would CNN be covering it...

Hopefully Deuce and the team are great by 2024 cause that's a cupcake schedule and we could make a run at the playoff. I guess that's assuming Deuce red-shirts a year.

The Jon Lickliter joke is probably getting too old by this point.

Would almost just as soon not go to a bowl than to have this happen.

Dag'gumit, Roy must not like Lawson then. Sounds like a Kirk-DJK kind of thing.
