Unfortunate PR goof in Philly

Come on. The double standard here is outrageous. I can't tell you how many times I've been at parties or clubs and heard this come out of every ethnicity from Indian to a Chinese person's mouth. It's pop culture, not anything else. The fact people are so sensitive to this in my opinion is more ridiculous then what happened in the first place.

 

 

You acknowledge that it people are sensitive to it, but deny that it's a bad PR move to keep him around?

Does anyone actually care about black history month?  Why confine the learning of historical achievements of anyone to one month?

 

I should be able to learn about George Washington in February and George Washington Carver in June.

 

And before anyone asks, there is another month dedicated to a race.  Hispanic heritage month.  But its not even a month, its the latter half of September until halfway through October.  I don't understand the world.

 

 

segregation...it's the American way.

Go to work and walk down the hall. Scream it. You know In the "I'm cool" way.

C what happens.

And how accepted (or fired) you will be.

U got a job right?

 

So in a corporate office setting it's on par with all the other slurs. What about on TV, what about among your friends, or out in public. In Music, in Comedy, on the internet. I've had bosses and co workers use it in an office setting and I'm not proud of them but they were not fired. 

 

But this topic will go nowhere fast so it's probably best to end it. Is the word offensive? Yes. Do I approve of it's use? No. Is it the ugliest? I don't see how anyone could rank racial slurs, wrong is wrong, right is right. But the N word is a slur I hear more often than any other and it's rarely met with backlash.

We've seen the old logic of "well these black people over here use it, what's the big deal?" countless times here already. Each time it gets worse.

People are hypersensitive to it. It's meaning and use has evolved to the point where the older generation and younger generation see its meaning as two different things. I don't think it is a bad PR move to keep him around when you have a couple of the most influential people in the franchise taking a stance to support him.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
