And Black's weren't nearly wiped off the face of the planet by English & Spanish settlers. Maybe they should just get over it, too?

 

And the same can be said to anybody who's gay that gets up in arms anytime somebody makes a comment but I don't see that happening now do we?

It's one thing to say that if Jadaveon Clowney said he was gay, he shouldn't be drafted. That would be fairly obvious bigotry. It's another to say a player who is a late round pick at best, literally has no defined position, had a terrible combine and is a media circus with a TV show in the waiting shouldn't be drafted. Why? Because by the late rounds it really doesn't matter. You can get a diamond in the rough, sure, but odds are you aren't getting a starter or even a major contributor. Why pick someone who isn't any better than the other players in that round, and gives you the added 'bonus' of constant media scrutiny no matter what you do with him?

And BTW, don't even pretend the country is treating gays right now anywhere near how badly they were treating blacks. That's an extremely ignorant statement to make.

So because gays aren't being hung from trees they shouldn't point out the discrimination they face? Unless you have to drink from a designated water fountain you need to stfu huh.

I somehow feel like if a white media personality had said this, their career would be in jeopardy. If you notice on all the major sports outlets, everyone seemed to be gung-ho about Sam being drafted, even though they knew he should not have been drafted. It was all a publicity stunt by the NFL to show how"tolerant" they are when it comes to homosexuality. I call it BS

Nope. It's just inaccurate to act like blacks weren't treated 100 times as badly.

BTW,

Rationalizing this group or that group was treated worse is pretty f*cking stupid. If you want to play that retarded game, natives endured far worse than Africans in this country.

Your stance is pure bigotry & idiocy. "Alright kids, it's okay to be gay but you can't play sports when you grow up unless you're a star. If you're just average then you aren't worth the trouble."

I guarantee that if Tony Dungy was still a HC & The Golden Calf of Bristol was available in the 7th Rd he would gladly pick him & embrace the media circus & fight the Christian cause.

Sterling didn't want black people at his games. Dungy doesn't want gay people on his team. There's not much of a difference.

He can use the "media circus, distractions" excuse all he wants. He's just another religious man who doesn't like gay people. Dungy almost signed Mike Vick & his media circus after he got out of prison. He had no problem with the media circus that would've came with signing a dog torturing POS, but sign a gay man? No, we just can't deal with all the media attention and distractions.

Horse sh*t.

 

being gay is the new black?

      Panthers HC Dave Canales hints at adding more weapons for QB Bryce Young

      By strato · Posted

      I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner.

      2025 Draft Re-Grades (Or, One Idiot Doubles Down)

      By Raskle · Posted

      How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.

      Who was the better HC - Rivera or McDermott?

      By Basbear · Posted

      I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
