Marcus Ball: JR Ordered My Release Because of Anthem Gesture

[Fox007]

Smitty was tatted up and black as fug....yea THE Marcus Ball got released because he wasn't good not for a non protest of putting his finger up in the air.

pretty shitty argument to consider the sole reason of being cut was because of an anthem gesture lmao when you've been a practice squad player for most of your career.

So has Bersin, but yet here is time after time. Never even a sniff from another team

cam newton showed his hand in a fist as a touchdown celebration once, indicating black power and his stance as an advocate for equality and better treatment of blacks.

i don't see him being cut anytime soon.

maybe marcus ball really was just a practice squad player who happened to be bad. doubt it really was anything underlying or much of a conspiracy at that.

that being said, all other accounts of JR being a piece of poo are in play. I doubt this case in particular since it appears it's more talent related and a reach to consider it purely on pointing to the sky, but the others are valid and we definitely need a better owner.

 

bullies never pick on people with more power than them. if Newton was cut for that gesture, it would be the end of the Panthers, essentially. the fanbase would be gone, JR would be gone (he is anyway but for other reasons we found out later).

Cam has more power and influence than JR. he is more valuable to the team. Cam would win that battle. so JR went after targets he knew he could bully and get away with it.

Yup and we know Bersin cuts JRs grass. if Ball cut his grass he'd be on the team too. JR been played favorites just like he did with Smitty he didn't release SMitty until his 3rd team fight...and just like with TD and Olsen

i don't doubt jerry richardson has been a piece of poo. the other stories of 'jean day' and the like are pretty complex and very telling of something that has definitely happened and richardson should be punished for. 

i just doubt stories like these trying to excuse a practice squad player being cut on the basis of an anthem gesture when he's been, er, a practice squad player for the majority of his career. i don't think there's a huge conspiracy behind this instance.

Lol bringing up Cam Newton. Cam is the star on the team. He’s not getting cut. 

Cam is growing his hair out as a rebellion...

Yeap and then she will fly to Charlotte on JR’s private plane. Take his stretch to his mansion and put it in his trophy case.

You’re missing it. He was just bad enough to be released and it can be stated it was for performance. Don’t act like we don’t have career practice squad players all over our roster. Moral of the story is that he wasn’t good enough to put up with the distraction his protest might have caused. It’s that simple.

I’ll take that all day. That’s a great selling point for the Panthers and The American Dream. A former cheerleader who is now running the franchise just got handed a Lombardi, who wants to buy this franchise? The line of potentially great suitors would be endless.

Man, I can't wait to see the intelligent and informative opinions that come out of this discussion.

You just put Bersin in the same context as all time Panther greats. Smh
