#2 in the NFL.

Pettine came because the D was historically bad?

I was speaking more specifically about the atrocities and genocide, which I know didn't happen in your lifetime. I am not yet planning on commenting on the Termination acts, as I am uninformed on them. My Wikipedia research seems to indicate that they were a reneging on the sovereignty of tribes, but you'll excuse me if I need time to dig a little deeper. As to the "never forget" point, I can see that. I didn't think of that being a pervasive feeling throughout Native populations.

I'm arguing that the Bears did not need to check out of runs. They threw too much. Kromer may have wanted him to check out, but Cutler knew what was best.

Didn't he say Jay wasn't checking out of run plays enough? That's about the last thing the 2014 Bears needed to do.

You are the one who cited that it made a difference. Kromer's comments also held no merit. He was not only a snake, but a dumb snake.

I never said, "I don't know how anyone takes offense at the name." I can see how they might take offense at the name.

Cutler was benched for week 16. He played December 15th against the Saints. You are incorrect. He threw his starting QB under the bus.

You're saying that the Wounded Knee era is a direct cause of rampant drug and alcohol abuse by Natives today? The Chinese shook their systemic opium addiction in almost the same amount of time. A much more addictive drug. Hell, they suppressed opium by 1949. I bet it is sad. However, they have their own self-determination as people now. If they turn to alcoholism, that's on them.

Since we are talking about 2013, that's irrelevant. Luckily, EJ is guaranteed to be on our roster next season, because the Kromer fiasco will be blamed for EJ's lack of development.

Incorrect. The comments were published on December 7th. Cutler was benched on the 17th.

"I would have a major problem if somebody said something like that," Rodgers said Tuesday during an interview at Lambeau Field. "I think anybody that plays the position, you can't help but empathize with Jay for that situation. You talk all the time about being connected, being a unit, believing in each other. But if you have unnamed sources, people out there cutting you down, and then you find out it's the person calling the plays -- that would be really hard to deal with, to look at him the same way." http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000445065/article/aaron-rodgers-baffled-by-kromers-jay-cutler-comments What Kromer did has been almost universally criticized. He undermined his QB to the media.

Because...running the ball effectively more never helped a rookie QB have a good game, right?

Because EJ stunk in game 3 and continued stinking into game 4.

So you brought up my feeling of "national pride" but you also don't care how I feel. Okay. How do those atrocities affect Native Americans living today? 1890 is a really long time ago. I guess that may be the disconnect, because I view that time period on the same level as the Revolution, the Civil War etc. I feel sympathy for the Native Americans who brutally suffered at the hands of the US government. I don't know why I should express that sympathy for their great-great grandchildren. They don't even know each other. Off the top of your head, tell me your great-great grandfather's occupation, or their middle name, or their hopes, dreams, and what made them who they are. I'm doubting you can. At what point does it end? Harboring enmity due to ancestor actions is what creates perpetual violence.

Who said anything about national pride? Do you think I'm "proud" of the treatment of Natives? I will say I was unaware about the Termination Acts. What other atrocities?

I didn't use the stubbed toe to insinuate what the offendedness is, but rather as a definition of oppression, because you consistently refused to define it. I defined oppression as a stubbed toe. Now, we're talking though. Did the US not recognize the sovereignty of Native reservations for a time? How many invading governments have done that in their history?

Incompetent OC's. He just needs more time with David Lee.

Truly "built by a person of color."

Well, that probably made Sancho feel confident.

Define viable.

All white people? Including Canadians?

You haven't made one. Besides refusing to define oppression.

Who threw Greg McElroy in the 4th quarter of a 7-0 game?

Remember when Greg McElroy had to play because Sancho was benched? Very inspiring.
