Golden Goat Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) It's not the word -- It's the disrespect. I don't see how Mayock can keep AB and not lose the respect of everyone on that team. Edited September 6, 2019 by Golden Goat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win #1, he is released and signs with whatever team he likes. If no one signs him, Win #2, he sues the league like Kap. Bigger payoff and you don't have to beat the crap out of your body. I think he has a bigger lawsuit/case against the NFL and the manufacturer of his previous helmet for the brain damage he has suffered from taking headshots.....

That looks like the original set to the Honeymooners. 3 minutes ago, apuszczalowski said: Looks like Keenan Thompson from SNL hitting the other guy with a chair, probably a skit as the black honeymooners? It's from 30 Rock, their first or second live episode. That's John Hamm being hit by Tracy Morgan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more personally offended by someone else's steak order or preference in wings than if they were to call me every racial slur in the book. Its a fundamental disconnect. I hate the term but I suppose its "privilege" that no combination of words in the English language relating to my race, gender, ethnicity, or skin color carries any weight with me.

I think the majority are saying it doesn't upset them and they wouldn't care, just that it's hypocritical that a 'racist term' (it is racist cause it's meant to be a derogatory term based on a person's skin color) is ok against someone who's white. Most blacks don't seem to have an issue with a certain word as long as it's not spoken from someone who is white.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starrymessenger Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 20 minutes ago, Captain Murica said: Yup, it was meant disrespect and belittle the individual. Doesn’t carry the same weight as other slurs. But, no one worth a damn wants to be compared to a slave owner. Apparently this expression predates the plantation era and condescendingly denotes a white person too poor to own slaves. Ironically there is no shame or disrepute in being poor.

BuffaloBillsGospel Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 It's really sad to see this happen with AB, at the end of the day he's a hall of famer, he has put his heart and soul into getting to where he is and now we see this side of him that to me screams some type of emotional issue. He was never a problem up until this past year in Pittsburgh and all of a sudden he's a diva, problem child, wife beater and now a racist? I think there is alot more going on with him and hope he gets the help he needs. He was a good story back in the day clawing his way up the depth chart as a 6th rounder, I'd really like him to turn it around in Oakland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t offend me personally and don’t see anyone riled up that he said it. I think it’s not something you would say to your boss, however. And just another sign of the dysfunction that he brings. The forced, band aid apology is predictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
