That's beyond the scope of what I consider relevant to the post in question. Or the thread topic at hand for that matter. Suffice to say his (Biden's) comment is similar in nature to the one expressed in the post I quoted, and would personally consider an example of racism, albeit not overtly so.

We would, and his post argued the opposite.

And just when we thought we had read it all, along comes an un-ironic post about how the 'PC movement' has 'artificially dictate(d) standards of morality through manipulation of language' that itself attempts to redefine the term racism.

Let's just consider ourselves fortunate to be on the planet in 2020 to witness the second coming playing backup QB for the Dolphins.

It's not as if he blithely compared him to the most accurate quarterback in NFL history a page back or anything.

I'm going to blanketly say I regret my original post way more than I ever thought possible.

They're also not a perfect solution (bodycameras). The NYT ran an article a while back about how what's recorded often isn't very useful and having them did not influence police behavior.

Ok

That's more a function of games played than anything else imo

Out of the league in 4 years, injured or healthy

Won’t be able to catch it unfortunately

You will find examples of this in every industry. Mine, for example: https://thecounter.org/usda-black-farmers-discrimination-tom-vilsack-reparations-civil-rights/

Yeh I think I do I want all that and more cause that's what comes with being a top team So I say bring em on

More the merrier imho

Give me a break. I was talking to someone else and you butted in, after tagging me in some thread I wasn't involving myself. I'm barely interested in the other conversation going at the moment as it is. You're elevator music.

A good 80% of what you type in general

Hardly the point unless you want to get into hypotheticals, as we're discussing this particular set of texts.

Notwithstanding our disagreement over whether White's reaction is justified (it is) I find the overall reasonableness of this comment disconcerting

I suppose we're about at that point in the conversation where I ask whether you understand why White's 'behavior' is justified and you accuse me of being a reverse racist. White>>>>>>>>>>>>Fromm and something tells me you're not unfamiliar with arguing that something you shouldn't have sent electronically in the past can and should come back to haunt you professionally

Of course it's a stupid joke. I'm not judging Fromm, I know ***** all about him other than he went to Georgia and we drafted him in the 5th. And clearly everybody is fired up, and I don't blame White in the slightest for not accepting some apology from a rookie who's probably not going to dress on Sundays. So I guess it just tickles me that this comes up and suddenly I can't seem to find the folks that harp on how the NFL is a meritocracy, personal responsibility and all those concepts that get thrown out the window at earliest convenience.

Color me shocked that you agree with the guy who gives Fromm a pass because it's a 'stupid joke in private text' but calls White a POS for responding. No, but they inform both the context in which his texts will be received as well as White's response. To ignore that is misleading at best.

I guess I should have added a 'haha' at the end
