BurpleBull Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 (edited) Am I missing something? Is him using the term black supposed to be the insensitive part? I was on Tyrod's side with his take that more pressure is heaped on him as a black QB, but I genuinely don't get this one. He apologized so maybe something's there. If I missed some insinuation, please point it out. Edited November 18, 2017 by BurpleBull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have the ballz to call me out and you make dumbazz comments like that. What about the millions of sex predators on the left? Are you a hypocrite or did you just conveniently leave them out of this discussion and focus on Moore. You call out Moore........ then you need to mention a winner like Franken too. Who's the real winner here? Again Jones is well-liked, but what he said in that video............. IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyBatty is alive Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I hate to weigh in on this but I am about as politically incorrect as you can get. Having said that..........If you just read his comment it is a total non-event. Now if you listen to it, he laughs and drunk trying to be funny go he sounds like it is degrading to be with a black girl, hence the apology. It should be long forgotten but if I am a Dallas Cowboy AA player i would feel no problem going up to Jerry and say screw you Jerr...and then be done with it. Let see how big this is blown out of proportion. Busy news week so I doubt it il get much traction. Hope the Cowboys implode, that would be entertaining.

Yeah that was really bad. And without motive. At least here you know that many people dislike the Cowboys and Jones, and that in any case it will draw viewers. But still.

Ha come on. Besides supposing his fiance was White (and maybe he was seeing her on the phone?) you have to really interpret what is saying to find racism. Smart joke? Of course not.

Mr. WEO Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 He could have said "he's here with another woman, ha ha". Instead he chose to say he's here with a black woman--clearly inferring that sounds much worse to a white fiancée. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANd no he was not "trying to get him in trouble", obviously it was a joke and Jerry had no idea who the man in question was. I'm not outraged. If you met me and we talked politics, you'd get to know that I'm very conservative and this type of thing doesn't trip my trigger. I think the apology is PLENTY. I would suspect the NFL/Goodell may have some interest in the timing of this report. At the very least, it is very helpful to waging the "civil war" which ESPN is reporting between Jerry and Goodell. We most likely differ on what is "racist" and what is not. When I say something is racist, I don't believe that means Jones deserves the death sentence. I actually think that we are more likely to deal with real prejudice if we are more likely to recognize the subtle forms which show up in our lives. To me, this seems to be a subtle form of prejudice. As for "get the guy in trouble" I should have chosen better words. I meant it in a joking, facetious way. I think this is the type of thing that should go away quickly. I just don't think that it goes away quickly by denying the subtly, prejudiced tone of his comment. I think it should go away quickly by apologizing and demonstrating change over time. The problem is our society doesn't like to give time for people to demonstrate change. By extension, our media feed on this and demand punitive action at every turn. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyBatty is alive Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 (edited) Very fair and measured response, thanks, nice to have a discussion with people that can control their emotions on touchy subjects. It is going to be interesting to see how the NFL reacts, another no-win situation or the Commissioners, the most maligned sports commissioner in history. If Goodell ignores it and hopes it goes away some will blast him for tacitly condoning the remark. He will likely have to do something. some will say he overreacting some will say he didn't go far enough.
