Misinterpretation 

I agree with interpretation as an issue, Mcnair probably had a few more choice words to refer kneeling players as, but Criminals/Inmates is probably as PG it gets for those of his ilk.

Oh I'm sure, that's why so many people let the comment slide and weren't offended at all. Yup.

Question - Don't know how old you are, but I'm guessing probably twenties, but have you ever heard the old phrase (I emphasize old here because it has clearly gone out the window): "sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me" Think we could instill a little more of that logic back in our society?  There might be a lot less "offended" people in the world, and people committing heinous acts of violence - ya know like back in the old, anti-progressive days....

I blame skinny jeans for the daffodil society in which we now live.

Should this comment offend me by your standards? And does that make you a bad person if it does?

For the record - not offended, as I will gladly "fug off" now.

Well if this isn't some trite nonsense.

Why can't I just say ignorant poo and no one cares anymore?!?!?!

[Jon Snow]

For the record "Asylum" means mental institution in the context of the old saying.   Not sure how McNair meant it.

May be "trite" (that's a popular word here - I like it) but am I wrong?  No need to answer, this is a rhetorical question.  You are entitled to your opinion, just as I am to mine.

You can't really be "wrong", in a literal sense, when you only throw out a "might" speculation. You can, however, be incredibly stupid in doing so.

By all means, attempt to show me how there were "less offended people" back in the "anti-progressive days" - whenever the fug that might have been (can you define the era exactly for us please?)

Are you sure there were less offended people, or was it just that they didn't have a voice of dissent that anyone else gave a poo about?

[Mr. Scot]

McNair's comments don't really bother me. It's a common expression.

What strikes me more from this story is that it's clear Jerry Richardson still has an "I didn't do anything wrong" attitude about the whole thing.

I will easily throw out the word might as history proves this logic to be true.  Just look at the facts on when this "trite nonsense" was the rule not the exception - there was a lot less bull poo in this world that's for sure.
