So many things wrong with this, but I’ll just point this one thing out: Switzerland is, in modern times, militarily neutral. That does not mean the country is apolitical. So you capped this whining post off with a false analogy. Congratulations ?

Personally i couldn’t care less if they cut him yesterday. Barkley can do the job and hold an ipad. Let young man Fromm grind it out in the XFL (if they come back.)

as long as people are teaching their kids that these things are purely notional, symbolic gestures that don’t really enforce any values in any real way, I suppose they’re fine. They’re reciting poems to a piece of cloth after all.

At least this year, with Stidham, many of your wishes could very well come true. I can’t wait. I just hope their defense is still good enough to win them just enough games to take them out of the running for whichever top-tier QB comes out next year (I assume that’s Lawrence right now, but a lot can change.)

I doubt that but it would certainly be funny to see Snyder squeal about it.

I don’t and as a white person I would not even attempt to try because it’s not my place to determine appropriate responses to this issue. Goodell and the league need to work with its black players and leaders to determine what’s appropriate.

found something related to this: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.axios.com/the-athletic-fundraising-round-series-d-e7026194-ccc7-4ec2-8415-6b8902c9a11a.html

can we get these trolls out of here please.

some god-tier backpedaling by Brees. That contract and that Wrangler endorsement must be worth more than Trump’s approval at this point. very fine timing as well - hours after the commissioner put out the statement that they (and Brees) were wrong. Wow, so brave, i’m tearing up.

well you’re completely FOS and obviously don’t live here currently. And using ridiculous examples to boot: someone throws a brick through my window in the middle of the night. “Can I file a report?” ”Nah you don’t support cops enough, sorry we can’t do anything.” you’re DCTom’ed in my book. The two cops implicated in the shoving of this old man here make a combined >$200,000/year. Miss me with this “we don’t pay/fund them enough.” You’re completely wrong.

not a fantastic first post there narc.

the networks never broadcast the anthem before that either you revisionist. That was commercial time. Seriously gtfo if you’re going to try to bull your way into a “point.” In fact broadcasters started showing the anthem more AFTER the kaepernick protests took wind, since then it became another reason to keep eyeballs on screen.

Stellar gaslighting

that’s fantastic.

no prob and I could be off-base with my recollections regarding their funding as well. I do know the Athletic had the money to go on an aggressive hiring spree, poaching writers from every significant market and if the rumors are true, paying over market value for that talent. This could be a course correction for them, exacerbated by COVID-19. Sucks in any case for them, and for those laid off by PSE.

also true. But from what I’ve seen and heard, hasn’t the Athletic received an astronomical amount of VC funding, as well as a surge in subscribers over the past year or so? Seems like even with thin margins, they’d have a lot of runway to weather this without cutting 8% of EEs and slashing pay across the board.

i would hope the league is preparing to make more overtures than just that, but it’s a slim hope.

that’s a bummer. And I assume Vogl will be in full CYA mode. Wouldn’t hurt to remind him of that past attitude though.

After Goodell’s statement today, seems like the league itself has rejected Drew’s position.

Anyone have any updates on the statuses of the Buffalo coverage people in particular?

you’re both right. League is woefully miles and miles behind the NBA. But considering how insular, how slow-moving these owners are in the NFL, I think it can be characterized as momentous.

yeah the bolded does ring a bell...can’t quite remember...

So true. Gotta remind myself to never ask the cops for any "favors." ? Fascinating power you possess, able to leap into the minds of these cops and clearly discern what they were "figuring."

another liberal conspiracy you say?! Man, they fooled me again. Guy is probably on Hillary’s payroll too.

your numbers are i think driven by simple necessity - how many elite QB prospects come into the league every year? Very few. Most teams simply aren’t in a position to replace these guys with perceived improvements in any given year.
