  7. Some troubling comments attributed to Terry Pegula (and denied by Pegula) and Jerry Jones from SI Writer Jim Trotter’s Lawsuit against the NFL

    in The Aud Club

    In what way does the knowledge that the league conducted an investigation lead the case to be closed? How would it benefit the NFL to do to anything other than sweep it under the rug?  An anonymous source assured us that nothing was said. Oh okay.

    People here responded defensively to the lawsuit as if it's about smearing Terry Pegula. Look at what Trotter is actually doing (who works for the Athletic now, and is not desperately trying to get his job back).  As he tells it, he tried to push for change internally through all the right channels but was met with resistance.  He had reason to believe his contract was going to be renewed, and instead he was fired.

    Why would he open himself up to the risk of being counter sued? Why get in a legal battle with one of the most powerful, deep pocketed organizations in the world? Because he's telling the truth.  The NFL will settle.  Pegula and Jones's denials will stand. But Trotter is putting the truth out there for people to do with as they will.

    Respected, connected black journalist files racial discrimination claim against the NFL (never done anything bad or racist) and two moderators of this board instantly jump to knee-jerk claim that it's false. hmmmmm.

    Yeah, the guy who married a woman of a different race and who has several brown kids is going to say something like that.  Eyeroll thingy.

    joking?

    I feel so lucky to have been able to hear RJ call hockey games.  Nobody, save for maybe Elvis, had the electricity and talent behind a microphone. He was a luminous soul and brightened all of our lives.  I think of him every time I tune into any sport, nobody else compares as a companion. I love RJ, and I always will. RIP.

    Let me give another example of a public health issue that is not political.

    Smoking in airplanes and restaurants.  At some point, scientists determined that it was harmful to society.  So we don't do that anymore.

    Not everything is political.  Not every individual sacrifice for the greater good is some act of bowing to the control of 

    lol everything IS political. the status quo of america didn't just happen by accident

    lol did my incredibly mild posts get deleted?

    clearly i shouldn't have violated the safe space of sabrespace.

     

    like hoss in the buffalo bills thread I should really "keep quiet"

     

    y'know I've had desire to return to the board due to how lonely this last year has been, as I still care for a great many on here. but I couldn't really find a way to without being reminded of how angry I am about what happened on this board when trump got elected. and lol sds or freeman will NEVER apologize for asserting that this board is somehow apolitical rather than blandly conservative.

     

    I could go back to being mister movies and being extra careful to moderate my own thoughts about movies as to not opress others by not letting enjoy things.

     

    really, though, i'm just gonna ***** back off

    only like half of americans vote. a lot of anti vaxxers aren't republicans, they're just regular people who (rightly) don't want to get bogged down in stupid pointless republican/democratic culture wars.

     

    juju is absolutely right, a smarmy doosh like john oliver isn't going to move the needle for anybody that doesn't already agree with him

    The vaccine is only a political issue to a very small minority who want to make it one.  The rest of the world, liberal, conservative, whatever, seems to be on board with it.

    ??? anti vax people have had their trust in public institutions eroded by the government deliberately letting everything go to *****. how is this not a political issue?

    Tell me a single issue, just one baby, that Oliver has championed that is a centrist or conservative viewpoint.

    I said already: advocating regime change in venezuela

    As someone who is center-left, I will absolutely say that yes, Oliver is definitely left.

    he is a liberal entertainer. he has his moments, like advocating for single payer, but he likes to take time to advocate for regime change in the global south as well

    left for usa mainstream media? sure!

    left? not quite

    Getting the vaccine isn’t a political issue, or at least shouldn’t be 

    but it is. which is why it clearly has no place on this board.

    I wonder if any of Jimmy’s defenders in the Jimmy vs Chuck debate from the prior couple of seasons are having 2nd thoughts.  Clearly there is something wrong with Jimmy.  

    But of course nothing was ever wrong with Chuck, a man who chose to kill himself instead of facing basic facts about how much he hates his brother and how jealous he is of him. Is this why you watch TV, freeman? To judge characters instead of trying to understand them? Just admit that you're an ***** lawyer and you see yourself in Chuck!

    I'm astounded how you and some of the other adults on here acted towards me when I was a literal child on this message board. Despicable.

    How'm I doing? Clearly bad enough to have typed the above. Stay safe everyone. ❤️

  20. Time to have a conversation about the board again?

    Here's the thing. No politics talk isn't a rule for the civility of the board, it's a rule to maintain the board as a safe space for racists and otherwise people.

     

    The "voice of reason" mod on this board is a sexist, racist POS who's said things like "Obama is president so obviously racism is over." And who can forget "accusations of sexual assault can ruin a man's career"?

     

    Y'all need to stop trying to dress it up like some sorta centrist thing. This board is a place where young people can learn that it's okay to be from greasy old guys. This board is a microcosm of the sexism of professional sports and sports fandom in general.

     

    Enjoy your club.

     

    I've always wanted to gloriously, dramatically leave a message board so I'll part with these wise words: Three Billboards is super racist. And it's reeeaally bad on top of that.
