I kind of want to show this video to my mom to get her reaction but I'm sure she's just going to think it's no big deal

watching football with extended family on turkey day is eye opening. Apparently all these guys are "thugs". There are so many things they take issues with that I don't think twice about.

I had to down beer after beer to avoid such convos..   It stems from his "cockiness"  now that there are fewer and fewer things to gripe about. 

 

Mind blowing.   People are so far from self-aware when it comes to what truly sparks these reactions.

Thug is just the censored way of calling someone the "n word" nowadays

Yeah I hear the exact same word bandied about. "He's too cocky"... well he's got every right to be alittle proud. Besides, these people don't understand that Newton is an entertainer. He's the first entertainer this franchise has ever had. Even Steve Smith, with all his drama, wasn't a limelight guy. 

Cam has put in the work, and endured three losing seasons and two playoff heartbreaks. He has improved his game and is having the best season of his NFL career, not to mention his team is undefeated. If that doesn't give someone a reason to dance after his TD celebrations, idk what does.

Not really. I consider white trash to be thugs too. Same goes for biker gangs, Occupy rallies, politicians, MS13, and the like. The term thug implies a lifestyle to me, not a skin color.

I see the word Thug being used more as a generalization personally. Like someone calls a black person Thug because they're really thinking the N word. They call a white person Thug because they're really thinking White Trash. I see people using Thug when they really mean lowlife scum. Thug just seems to be the new norm since they can't call people what they really want.

      The Ringer NFC Offseason podcast

      By frankw · Posted

      The division is most certainly wide open. The Bucs are a problem but Baker Mayfield is and will remain his own worst enemy it's a matter of when not if he has a bad game or even a stretch of bad games. As far as the Panthers they have done an admirable job of trying to address needs as best they can without pulling a Scott Fitterer and getting desperate which has only made us worse off in the past. On the Bryce subject all anyone can really say at this point is we just have to wait and see. This is the year and despite what the Panthers may say publicly doubling down and going all in on WR is as good as any sign anyone should need that they expect Bryce Young to have a very productive and convincing season. The pieces are in place. They aren't perfect but nothing ever will be. Regardless there's honestly no excuse for this staff and this team not to be able to compete in this iteration of the NFC South. Also just want to say this because I can say the hyper defensive posts already being made in here and it's probably going to be a season with highs and lows again but hopefully more highs for sure. But just because there is dialogue about a position group or a player that challenges your preconceived notions or makes you uncomfortable does not make it "hate" or "anti" this player or that player. For some people who talk a lot about nuance you would think this wouldn't need to be stated but that's where we're at.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      If I was a coach I would preach "Don't let the refs decide the game" because as soon as you let the NFL the chance to help their bottom dollar whether it be teams that make most money or gambling then they will screw the team that doesn't fit their bottom line......is it rigged? No but do they try and make certain narratives happen abso-freakin-lutley. As I stated in a previous thread NFL players are the ones that SHOULD have all guaranteed contracts but the boot lickers on this forum disagree and argue for the billionaires in this world who own these teams, sheep

      I wont go quite so far as to say games are rigged.  You wouldnt have to work hard to convince me there was the occasional thumb on the scale but outright rigged? nah.   but collusion on the rest of the "business" of football, sure.  No one really believes that the only time the 32 owners act as one is during the negotiations of the CBA do they?
