I think this does pertain to football though.
It's getting annoying every telecast has to keep bringing up the racism issues. I'm glad they were brought out and, hopefully, being dealt with but I don't need to be reminded while watching the game.
While I don't disagree, these threads inevitably derail into shit shows. There hasn't been one yet that hasn't. I'm not deleting them, only moving them here, so I don't see much difference since the same conversation can still happen. It gives people a choice and allows them to either see it or not.
If a poster doesn't want to wade through arguments about race or politics, or any other polarizing topic, then the main forums are free of them. If they enjoy that kind of banter, this forum is here for their indulgence. I haven't deleted a single post in this forum and I won't unless it involves threats, offensive images/video, spam, or if it totally derails a valid discussion. In those cases I'll just split the threads off into separate ones.
That was the deal...people can talk about
[insert trigger topic here] in this forum till they're blue in the face without someone telling them to knock it off or deleting posts. In return, folks on the sports boards don't have to weed through it. It's good for the goose and the gander.
Actually , the only people mad about it are mad because they want to post it on the main boards. They aren't interested one bit in people hearing their message, they're interested in baiting the folks who think the opposite of them. Now they have a place they can do that if they want, mostly unencumbered.
Much like it's annoying to keep hearing about it on tv, it's also annoying to hear about it in the sports forums.
