Husain Abdullah got fined but I don't think Tebow ever did? :confused:

He got flagged not fined, and the NFL said they screwed up afterwards and it shouldn't have been called.

It's disappointing that Americans can get so upset over something so trivial. We are the kings of blowing things hilariously out of proportion. It's almost as if people are looking to be outraged over something.

Also Michael Tanier posted a long article about how he was a public school teacher who was forced to make kids stand for the pledge by NJ law and that the NFL could do positive things with this, but won't, because they're the NFL.

Facebook deleted my pro-Kaepernick post because it didn't meet their community standards. A post from a coworker telling Kaepernick to die is still up.

Well it's a Kaep one so it probably came off the clearance rack for like $2

Also I'm really starting to hate the term "slacktivisim". Like you're not allowed to have an opinion unless you're spending the equivalent of a full time job doing rallies and poo poo

It's just another way to dismiss conversation about change from the status quo in the same vein of talking down actual activism/protest as "pointless, since it's not going to change anyone's mind."

I despise Chip Kelly at a deep fundamental level that is probably legitimately unhealthy but like that he doesn't give a gently caress about Kaep's anthem stuff.

I agree in general, but in this case why can't he spend the equivalent of a full time job being an activist? It's not like he has anything else to do this football season.

He probably could, but not doing so doesn't render his point invalid

Drew Brees posted:

And you just talk to all the guards that are Army and Navy personnel, they'll tell you stories about how these prisoners, they'll be walking the cell blocks as they're keeping an eye on these guys and they'll be throwing their feces and urine in the faces of the guards as they walk by, and the guards are not allowed to do anything. They're not allowed to physically retaliate or do anything hardly to try to restrain these guys at all. These guys get away with whatever they want.

Drew Brees posted:

They are being treated probably ten times better than any prisoner in a U.S. prison. They're on a 6,500 calorie-a-day diet whereas a normal U.S. prisoner is on a 2,000 calorie-a-day diet

6500 calories per day. That is loving insanity. idk about football players, but I know basketball players who've said they eat 5000 calories per day while training for/during the season. the only conclusion I can come to if they're feeding literal prisoners 6500 calories per day is that they're fattening them up to eat them.
