No, you worthless fuck, you obviously can’t have a calm political discussion because you admitted yourself that you get way too emotional. That’s why your passive aggressive bleeding isn’t needed and political shit isn’t supposed to be in the lounge, as well. So change your tampon out, because toxic shock is real.
Then explain to me, how I was beside myself with the kneeling. You find a post of me bitching about the kneeling, with me beside myself from it. I will donate $100 to whatever cause you want, if you can’t find it you can donate the same amount to my pick. [Reply]

Fuck off troll, this has been explained over and over to you. None of your assertions are accurate, and they say a lot more about you than those you try to smear. [Reply]

It seems like a Win-Win for both franchises. [Reply]
When asked for his opinion on the protests occurring throughout the nation, Taysom Hill began his response, “As someone who lived through the Equal Rights Amendment...” [Reply]

Teams don't typically back ass into HOF caliber QB's back to back the way the Packers did. I'd always take the bird in the hand. [Reply]

You weren't. The likes of scuzzer have to hyperbolize the reaction in order to have even a semblance of a stance. Then they take it straight to racial resentment because they think that means they get to stop thinking and declare victory.
Most everyone who had problems with Kaep's protest was mostly about how muddled and poorly thought out it was, and they simply observed that it was muddled and poorly thought out.
I wish people would think about the consequences of their stances. When you demonstrate for dignity, what kind of message is it to say 'if you won't let me disavow the nation and it's flag, I guess the only other thing I can think of is looting and violence.' What does that say about your own self-esteem? The amount of effort you are willing to put into eloquence and leading by example? [Reply]

True, but the Saints are looking at a rebuild beginning next year because they're likely to lose Brees and/or Kamara.
If they trade Brees (which would be difficult because of the cap), they can afford Kamara and possibly be in a position to draft one of the top 3 QB's in next year's draft.
Regardless, they're looking at a lockeroom mess and there's no way they trade Michael Thomas. [Reply]

It does when you do it during the anthem dumbass. Apparently you have to agree with how black people protest or they get butt hurt. This whole thing turned into a joke once the riots started. There are a lot of protestors out there doing it the right way but they are being overshadowed now [Reply]

That’s the thing. This is on the messenger for having a method of protest that made no sense and completely changed the conversation.
Between the pig socks, the Castro shirt (and defense of him/it), AND the kneeling fiasco it’s pretty obvious that Kaep is disingenuous and a terrible messenger. [Reply]

Is this really the message that needs to be sent right now? Why pick this battle, now of all times?
We agree 100% that Brees’s timing was absolutely terrible for the comment that he made. He has to understand how that particular comment is going to interpreted/received at this moment in time.
That said, I don’t see anything all that controversial about saying you disagree with someone’s method of protest. Just like it’s someone else’s right to protest within the confines of the law, it’s also your right to disagree with said protest. [Reply]

Tough spot for sure. 12-1 odds to win the SB with Brees. Getting back to level isn't an easy task. I'd have to say they go back to the pack at 25-1 without him. Maybe I'm just jaded after reliving Krause break up the Bulls thinking a rebuild would be easy :-) Go for it while you can. [Reply]
I just hope this season isn’t all about anthem crap again. Not because I’m offended by it, but it was all anyone talked about a couple of years ago [Reply]
