    Yes. Yes it is. I was in Napa this weekend and had a lot of conversations about pizza and red wine. You would have loved it, Tim.

    But this conversation is actually happening because these neanderthals keep struggling to hide their bigotry behind faux patriotism. the protest is working, it is drawing attention to the problem and making horsefeathers people uncomfortable. It's certainly drawing attention to the sentiment that a lot of people think it's disrespectful to kneel/sit during the national anthem and say you aren't proud of a flag that represents oppression, a discussion on employee/employer rights, the first amendment, and what patriotism means. But are you really satisfied with the share/extent of the discussion surrounding how horsefeathers up our police/justice system is? The share, no. The actual count, more so, yes. Dumb bigots are going to dumb bigot, trump has taught us that if we didn't already know. Shitty assholes have hidden behind the flag for generations, and always will. So what. People on this very website have changed their tune from the time of Ferguson, to now. The progress will not continue unabated, but it will continue.

    ...doesn't work. The people opposed don't want the protests to be tailored to make them feel more comfortable or welcome. They just want the protests to go away. There are a LOT of people like this. Some people will always find an excuse to complain about the protest mechanism because they don't want to confront these truths, or are racist, stupid, etc. However, I think that there are also people who are unwilling to listen that otherwise would be listening if this didn't involve the anthem. They're completely turned off to it. And that's why a lot of the national conversation is around those people being offended and the anthem, not the subject of police brutality, which I think is a miss. But this conversation is actually happening because these neanderthals keep struggling to hide their bigotry behind faux patriotism. the protest is working, it is drawing attention to the problem and making shitty people uncomfortable.

    PEOPLE THIS THREAD IS ABOUT THE JERRY JONES AND ROGER GOODELL STANDOFF, NOT THE RELATIVELY SHITTINESS OF YOUR FAVORITE CHAIN PIZZA PLACE.

    They have one motivation here, cost control. There is no real threat to major league baseball on a global basis. They aren't contending with other leagues for baseball talent. They have had healthy growth for years, and aren't in any sort of near-term risk to losing money because Japanese guys come over at 25 years old.

    he was strictly a pass catching threat, but his college competition was so over matched it was hard to know if it could translate.

    Amazing coach speak here:
  14. jersey cubs fan
    my concern on that matter is more that a new HC may want his own guy.

    There is no baby. If you choose to take offense to peaceful protest you suck.

    You don't need to counter "just pay off the cops" with anything other than pointing out how stupid the idea is.
  21. jersey cubs fan
    It is very clear and obvious what the players are protesting. Those people choosing to act as though it is not clear what the protest is about, are making up excuses to justify not supporting the players, because they know the players are right, or they are just willfully ignorant. I had this very same conversation with somebody this past summer. He kept hammering on the idea of "what does he (kap) even want", and I kept answering. He'd hem and haw about the mixed message but would also eventually come around to realize he knew exactly what kap wanted. It was as if I had to keep reminding him he was on the verge of saying some incredibly stupid racist [expletive] before he'd back off that line. And then start right back up. It's tiresome.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    that's an incredibly stupid idea. pay the cops to protest them killing people unbelievable it's not a lack of sensitivity that is causing cops to support cops who kill people for no good reason
  23. jersey cubs fan
    Good Those people suck. If you feel disrespected by people protesting police brutality you are an awful person. Taking a knee is not controversial. If you are choosing to interpret it as so it is because you are a bad person with bad priorities.

    the know, and they don't care.
