And Black's weren't nearly wiped off the face of the planet by English & Spanish settlers. Maybe they should just get over it, too?

 

And the same can be said to anybody who's gay that gets up in arms anytime somebody makes a comment but I don't see that happening now do we?

It's one thing to say that if Jadaveon Clowney said he was gay, he shouldn't be drafted. That would be fairly obvious bigotry. It's another to say a player who is a late round pick at best, literally has no defined position, had a terrible combine and is a media circus with a TV show in the waiting shouldn't be drafted. Why? Because by the late rounds it really doesn't matter. You can get a diamond in the rough, sure, but odds are you aren't getting a starter or even a major contributor. Why pick someone who isn't any better than the other players in that round, and gives you the added 'bonus' of constant media scrutiny no matter what you do with him?

And BTW, don't even pretend the country is treating gays right now anywhere near how badly they were treating blacks. That's an extremely ignorant statement to make.

So because gays aren't being hung from trees they shouldn't point out the discrimination they face? Unless you have to drink from a designated water fountain you need to stfu huh.

I somehow feel like if a white media personality had said this, their career would be in jeopardy. If you notice on all the major sports outlets, everyone seemed to be gung-ho about Sam being drafted, even though they knew he should not have been drafted. It was all a publicity stunt by the NFL to show how"tolerant" they are when it comes to homosexuality. I call it BS

Nope. It's just inaccurate to act like blacks weren't treated 100 times as badly.

BTW,

Rationalizing this group or that group was treated worse is pretty f*cking stupid. If you want to play that retarded game, natives endured far worse than Africans in this country.

Your stance is pure bigotry & idiocy. "Alright kids, it's okay to be gay but you can't play sports when you grow up unless you're a star. If you're just average then you aren't worth the trouble."

I guarantee that if Tony Dungy was still a HC & The Golden Calf of Bristol was available in the 7th Rd he would gladly pick him & embrace the media circus & fight the Christian cause.

Sterling didn't want black people at his games. Dungy doesn't want gay people on his team. There's not much of a difference.

He can use the "media circus, distractions" excuse all he wants. He's just another religious man who doesn't like gay people. Dungy almost signed Mike Vick & his media circus after he got out of prison. He had no problem with the media circus that would've came with signing a dog torturing POS, but sign a gay man? No, we just can't deal with all the media attention and distractions.

Horse sh*t.

 

being gay is the new black?

      Glass houses and all. I find the people who are the most adamant about this type of thing tend to have the most to hide. Careful buddy.

      Also, wanted to point out, all 3 of the Pivot guys I respect and appreciate tremendously.  I know RC only had 1 pro bowl, but I loved his game.  He was tough as nails and played with a ton of heart and grit.  He was trying to knock people out, but was also super cerebral.  Fred is obviously a hall of famer and just as tough. Channing made the most of what he had and was hard-nosed as well.  And yet, all three of them let Steve slide on a ton of poo in this interview.  They actually cowered in several moments and I don’t like that at all.  Because for all the things I mentioned in my initial post in this thread, them not trying to reel him back in or hold his feet to the fire on certain bullshit, and feels gross.  Yall were all on the same competitive level as athletes, and yet, yall just let him skate on poo like talking about invoking using a gun on someone, laughing off how he essentially ended two teammates’ careers by BULLYING them and then co-signing it, and letting him completely sidestep accountability about his affair.  I get it, because apparently he invited you to his home to do the interview, but either talk some real poo or don’t do the interview at all.  This was some real softball poo.

      This season’s leader, Daniel Jones, is averaging 265.9 yards per game, that would rank 12th in 2015. Even going back to 2020, he would rank 10th in passing yards. So it does appear that passing yards is down, but is that because they aren’t as good? Possibly, but we were spoilt in recent years when we had Brady, Peyton, Brees, Rodgers, Roethlisberger, Rivers, Ryan, Stafford (etc). As crops of QBs go, it was an amazing era to watch and most will end up in the Hall of Fame. I’m not convinced you we could list as many potential Hall of Fame QBs from the current crop. Will it go pass heavy again? I think there’s a good chance that it will, but it will require QBs that can consistently air the ball out in the frequency we saw in the 00s and 10s. I think currently coaches are favouring a more balanced approach, if not favouring a strong running game.
