    Bateman just got a two year extension, that goes into effect after his upcoming 4th season with Baltimore (instead of a pricey, fully guaranteed 5th year option...seems smart AF even if the player hasn't fully stepped up yet). 

     

    Williams in DET and Dotson in WAS both seem like guys who will be counted on this season to take another step forward. They are VERY likely to leave this list as long as they stay healthy. 

     

     

    Difficult to tell for certain what you're driving at here, but I'd argue that Coleman easily comes off as a LOT savvier than most 20 year-old WR prospects. There are a number of icky biases inherent in your assumption about Keon Coleman's aptitude. The Wonderlic is being phased out already and with good reason.   

     


    Further to this, didn’t Williams miss most of his rookie season while he recovered from that injury?

    Kids on college campus across America chanting death to America is completely normal right?


    What does this have to do with Ben Shapiro declaring clean energy to be a “war on the west?”

    I'll let you answer that.

    Dude come on, declaring the scientific progress of clean energy to be a “war on the west” is pathetic

    The schools had their names changed back.

     

     

    "We appreciate your dedication to our schools and the well-being of our students, Restoring these names would demonstrate a commitment to inclusivity, respect for history, and responsiveness to community feedback."

     

    The group's letter stated Confederate Gens. Jackson and Lee, and Cmdr. Ashby have historical connections to Virginia and the commonwealth's history

     

     


    How is adding the names of confederates, in any kind of way, representative of “inclusivity”

    Not that it matters to you, but the respect due Robert E. Lee is legitimate and deserved.

    You have just called a great potion of the population of the US as "disgusting," and "anti American.

    I suggest you are foolish.

     

    Absolute bull####.

    But not surprising.


    People who revere traitors to the Union are anti-American, this is not a difficult concept

    No fear at all. I have the advantage of life experience whereas you are wet behind the ears. We’ve all seen the school board meetings that spin out of control when a parent begins reading aloud from a library book that most normal adults prefer not to have available at school. You have successfully twisted yourself into a pretzel with this idiotic post to the point you are denying what you know to be true. Next up from you - “there is no such thing as drag queen story hour”. 
     


    “This didn’t happen and hasn’t happened on numerous occasions”

    Then don’t let your kids read it if you’re not comfortable with it. I thought you chuds were all for parents’ control of education or whatever?

    Because that's what the people in those areas agreed to do when they were constructed.

    This idiotic renaming is not only stupid, it has proven to be counterproductive and very expensive.

     

    Further, while some would disagree, Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee, Lewis and Clark were extremely honorable people.

    The knuckleheads that made these decisions, including a blatant racist who was the energy behind removing a Lee statue are anything but. 


    Lewis and Clark, sure.

     

    Robert E Lee sided with the enemy of the Union and a treasonous breakaway state. Those who revere him are disgusting, Anti-American people.

    Yes you have. To include graphic sexual materials for elementary school children. Materials that school boards are embarrassed to have read aloud at their meetings. You believing you have the moral high ground on this matter is stunning. 


    Yes, that’s totally happening. Just the other day, I went and read 50 Shades of Gray to a class of second graders. 
     

    Do you always live in constant fear, or is this new?

    But why did they build statues to the losers to begin with?  Makes you wonder, eh?  Maybe it was because of the complexities of a civil war and the reconstruction afterwards?  Your answer in 1865 would have been extermination of all rebels, right?


    Hell yes it would! Sherman should have kept going.
     

    Most of the statues were built in the 1920 as one of the posts in this thread noted. They were built as part of Jim Crow to intimidate Black folks.

    Respectfully, are you serious with this question?

    The schools were renamed. The monuments were torn down.

    That money was wasted.

    Resources,  including millions of dollars, scores of lawsuits, and a total waste of time was spent renaming them, tearing monuments in existence for scores of decades.

    Get that?

     

    Total waste of everything involved, and you are claiming that the issue is with responding to this?

     


    Stripping traitors’ names from schools and monuments is a great use of money. The waste of money was building them in the first place.

     

    Now answer my question. What is so imperative about having these peoples’ names on the schools?

    We can remember the traitors in history books. We don’t need to build statues to them.

    In the past you have advocated for books detailing anal and oral being stocked in elementary school libraries. Now you have changed it to “books about gay people”. You don’t occupy the high ground anywhere other than in your bubble. 


    I have been clear that I am against banning books from libraries.

    Stop moving the goalposts.

    Then what are all the mad parents going to board meetings about? Idiot.


    They’re feeble-minded folk who are spoon-fed rage bait all day and want to pretend they’re fighting for some noble cause.
