League_Champion Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Snowflaking ourselves right down to zero again. How about you get the hell out of Texas and go to California where you can poop in the street and get free needles but can't use plastic straws. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the hell do you think? Sending the letter for athletes to not sign with teams in Texas because they don’t agree with the laws.. not saying I agree with all of them either, but keep politics out of sports in my opinion. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it reads more like an archaic group desperately seeking to maintain relevance by encouraging others to politicize sports. But hey, we all see things differently. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Just what we need, more divisive topics that dovetail into politics. Considering the broad scope of the letter and it having ZERO to do with fantasy football it really doesn't belong here. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey, we all see things differently. The NAACP has certainly had its encounters with irrelevance long before today. No doubt about that. When I read the letter, my reaction was 'meh...whatever.' I don't typically don't give a rip about things that don't have a tangible affect on me or my loved ones. I have more important issues to give a personal rip about I suppose. My mental porn comment was clearly referring to those indulging in the spectacle of getting offended at the NAACP getting offended. 'Don't put politics into sports! I needs my safe space!' Poor babies. That NAACP letter seemingly pushed you over the edge. Life's tough I suppose, hope you recover. Many of us mainstream Americans are actually capable of ridiculing both sides of any given issue these days. Not a bad place to be. Sorry for the confusion I have caused. Now back to your regularly scheduled hand-wringing and fapping. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now back to your regularly scheduled hand-wringing and fapping. I think you have made some incorrect assumptions and steered this toward being more directed at a poster, thus personalizing. You are trying too hard. Make it more subtle next time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I remember during all the NFL player kneeling era I had a friend who never talked to me about sports suddenly wanted to talk about this, and how offended he was by athletes in a sport he doesn't watch (not into sports much at all) was disrespecting the flag and blah-blah-blah. I wonder if Tom Brady or Peyton Manning were kneeling if they'd have the same reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The modern day Republican party is fueled almost entirely on being victims of their own imagination. Life's not fair, elections are fixed, I'm oppressed because I'm not entitled to a job on my own terms, a letter from NAACP has hurt my feelings and offended me. The new kings of victimhood are making my old school liberal friends blush with embarrassment. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
