I kind of want to show this video to my mom to get her reaction but I'm sure she's just going to think it's no big deal

watching football with extended family on turkey day is eye opening. Apparently all these guys are "thugs". There are so many things they take issues with that I don't think twice about.

I had to down beer after beer to avoid such convos..   It stems from his "cockiness"  now that there are fewer and fewer things to gripe about. 

 

Mind blowing.   People are so far from self-aware when it comes to what truly sparks these reactions.

Thug is just the censored way of calling someone the "n word" nowadays

Yeah I hear the exact same word bandied about. "He's too cocky"... well he's got every right to be alittle proud. Besides, these people don't understand that Newton is an entertainer. He's the first entertainer this franchise has ever had. Even Steve Smith, with all his drama, wasn't a limelight guy. 

Cam has put in the work, and endured three losing seasons and two playoff heartbreaks. He has improved his game and is having the best season of his NFL career, not to mention his team is undefeated. If that doesn't give someone a reason to dance after his TD celebrations, idk what does.

Not really. I consider white trash to be thugs too. Same goes for biker gangs, Occupy rallies, politicians, MS13, and the like. The term thug implies a lifestyle to me, not a skin color.

I see the word Thug being used more as a generalization personally. Like someone calls a black person Thug because they're really thinking the N word. They call a white person Thug because they're really thinking White Trash. I see people using Thug when they really mean lowlife scum. Thug just seems to be the new norm since they can't call people what they really want.

    • 38 seconds in tells me he is full of poo and is spinning for clicks. You know how they say in court, where if they lie once you can assume they are lying always?  To me is doing a pretty spiteful thing I think, by putting those words in someone's mouth. Unless he knows that is true. Which I doubt. An honest person would not have said that to Tepper, so he basically assaulting Canales. It is not Canales' fault that Young will not adhere to the the coaching he was obviously given. And of course I am referring to that Buffalo series and the very noticeable footwork change. Evidence that he had the opportunity to be a better player but reverted to his wonky ass 'techniques'. Because it is fuging hard not to. But that is still on Young for not getting that done. And unless he gets it done he is just a fraud. A wannabe NFL quarterback, playing at it. I mean NFL quarterbacks are kicking his ass, even the rookies.  If he works to change this steadily he may be able to get it ingrained in a couple more months. That is as optimistic as I can be for him.  Riddick though, I don't don't listen to sports talk any more except what youtube clips I like but I used to think pretty highly of him. This is pretty sad, to see this scapegoating.  I can put words into Canales mouth too: "Mr Tepper, I have a pretty good feel for working with these guys, and have had some luck with it. You know Baker pretty well. That's my work with him.  But I have to be honest, I'm not sure i can promise I can fix Bryce. He has many challenges. There are things we can do to help but so much of it is up to him. If he is willing to listen and work, I am sure we can make him a better QB. How good will be up to him."   blah blah blah blah      
    • Can they play QB? And some stuff from Ride the Lightning, too?
    • When dementia gripped my grandmother (and eventually took her), we each spent time with her and would try to correct her to what was reality and what wasn't. It was very tough on my Dad who she lived with for as long as they could care for her.  It seemed like she had become detached from her own timeline and would slide up and down it wildly. As my Dad said, "somedays I'm me to her, somedays I'm my Dad, somedays I'm her father, somedays I'm just the guy who works here. I tried correcting her but it just upset her. I found out that the best thing is to just not correct her and let her live out where ever and whenever she is."  And I'm not going to lie, it gets tough and eventually they leave their own timeline and it becomes unmanageable. Hold on to yourself and the ones you love through it all. Prayers for you and yours, man.
