Everyone who insisted Kaep insulted the troops vs. Shawn Williams Everyone who insisted Kaep insulted the troops Last season during the preseason Colin Kaepernick quietly began kneeling during the national anthem before games. A few people noticed and when asked, he presented his case: he was doing it in protest of racial injustice and police brutality, particularly towards black men and other people of color. Unfortunately for Kaepernick, he ran headfirst into a deeply, deeply ingrained conglomeration of American myths, passions, convictions, etc. that go well beyond the already deeply contentious issues of race and criminal justice in the US. We do not need to hash those all out here: reasonable people can disagree about whether his protest was "appropriate," had or has potential to be effective, can or cannot be separated from the man and his other opinions, and so on. But one particular aspect of the backlash that rapidly built against Kaep that I found especially douchebaggy was the conflation of a protest during the National Anthem, and some kind of connection to the US military. I think this article in the Atlantic from last year presents the problem reasonably well: https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2016/08/colin-kaepernick-nfl-patriotism/498014/ quote:America’s most popular sports league is also its most visibly patriotic, a trait discernible in everything from pregame fighter-jet flyovers to field-sized flags to coaches’ instructions about the anthem during behind-the-scenes shows. It doesn’t require an extreme amount of cynicism or research to note that this is as much about industry acumen as love of country—the league has a brand, and the stars and stripes are a part of it—but like all branding, it works best when it is assumed as a matter of course. With his means of protest, then, Kaepernick is not only using his platform as an athlete to raise awareness about ongoing tragedies. He’s also, whether by design or not, questioning the NFL’s insistent but narrow definition of patriotism, shining a harsh light on its red-white-and-blue wallpaper. Essentially, to the extent that Kaep's protest "insults the troops," that is only the case because the NFL specifically, and to a lesser degree the entire country generally, absolutely loving loves to drape any aspect relating to patriotism with military iconography. This is deeply, deeply ingrained: the actual words to the Star Spangled Banner were written by Francis Scott Key as a poem called Defence of Fort M'Henry about the US flag staying up during the night of a fearsome battle - the bombardment of an American fort by the British during the War of 1812. But that connection is not, today, inherent: we sing the national anthem in many contexts in which the military is uninvolved. There's something more going on here: the NFL and the Pentagon have a tight, and monetarily-based, partnership in which they engage in cross-promotion for branding purposes. Basically, the reason people who watch NFL football are thinking about the troops, is because the NFL and the US government have spend a fuckton of money making sure of it. Per that 2015 article: quote:As much as $6.8M has been spent by the Department of Defense on secret payments to pro sports teams in exchange for tributes to the military over the past four years.  But Kaepernick himself made clear from the very outset that his protest was specifically about police getting off scott free for the racist oppression and murder of black people. quote:A couple days after sitting for the anthem, Kaepernick addressed reporters and said his actions aren’t intended to insult the military. “I have great respect for the men and women that have fought for this country,” he said. “And they fight for freedom, they fight for the people, they fight for liberty and justice, for everyone. That’s not happening.” And yet countless douchebags, including some of his own teammates, cannot take the man's word. quote:When asked about Kaepernick’s actions, his ex-teammate and now-Minnesota Viking Alex Boone, whose brother served as a Marine, spoke passionately. “That flag obviously gives him the right to do whatever he wants. I understand it. At the same time, you should have some loving respect for people who served, especially people that lost their life to protect our freedom.” Sure Boone, but Kaep explicitly and publicly expressed that respect. People were, and still are, wilfully ignoring it. Why? Because by insisting that the whole thing is about disrespecting the troops, they can ignore the actual issues being raised. We don't have to confront the fact of police violence against black men, and the legal and political systems that ignore, condone, or even promote it, if we can instead take the opportunity to be insulted on behalf of our troops, who we obviously must honor at any and every opportunity. If you think it's wrong to kneel instead of stand for the Anthem, OK - I strenuously disagree, but that's a point people can make. If you think there's no racism or the police are doing just fine or cops are being appropriately punished for blowing away unarmed black men on a routine basis, OK, you're a loving idiot, but fine. But insisting that someone's protest is exactly what they are clearly and unequivocally stating it isn't, is just douchebaggery. Especially when you use that as an excuse to avoid the real problems being raised. Shawn Williams Shawn Williams (born May 13, 1991) is an American football safety for the Cincinnati Bengals of the National Football League. He was drafted by the Bengals in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft. He played college football at Georgia.  I can't find an even vaguely douchebaggy image of this fairly unremarkable football man Cavauro posted:I'm nominating Shawn Williams, of the Cincinnati Bengals, for a hosed up hit that is to be named later but happened in 2016 OK Cavauro. If Williams was fined, then he was punished for these hits. I should have caught this earlier but I didn't. Fortunately, googling for "Shawn williams dirty player" came up with something else: http://www.foxsports.com/nfl/story/how-the-bengals-used-dirty-play-to-tie-the-redskins-and-stay-alive-in-2016-103016  quote:There were at least a dozen examples from Sunday (and probably more than a hundred this season), but the play pictured at the top of this post, where Shawn Williams almost Poltergeisted Jamison Crowder's head with a facemark at the goal line, went uncalled. This article argues that the Bengals' systematic dirty play erodes the officials' ability to call penalties for everything they do, which, OK, that argument belongs to the general Bengals entry. But to the extent Williams contributes to it, and doesn't get called, that qualifies him for DotY. Leperflesh fucked around with this message at 20:47 on Jun 22, 2017 |

People who insisted Kaep disrespected the troops. Once problems become un-ignorable and voices appeal to our consciences for change, some people attempt to drown that out by loudly proclaiming your support of something necessary and commendable (in this case, voluntary military service) solely as a means to create a platform with which to denigrate those who disagree with their worldview. This show is all just to avoid having to ask the themselves the question, "Is it possible that I am privileged enough to be unaware of a longstanding injustice in my beloved country?" gently caress those people.

Marvin Lewis vs. Bob Craft Marvin Lewis Marvin Ronald Lewis (born September 23, 1958) is an American football coach who is the head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals of the National Football League. Lewis has held the position since January 14, 2003 and is currently the second-longest tenured head coach in the NFL behind Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots. He is also the longest tenured coach in Bengals history. Previously, he was the defensive coordinator of the Baltimore Ravens from 1996 to 2001.  Marvin Lewis loves Burfict Benne posted:Marvin Lewis for claiming that touchdown dances are "not a good example for young people" http://www.espn.com/blog/cincinnati-bengals/post/_/id/26900/marvin-lewis-on-new-celebration-rule-not-a-good-example-for-young-people quote:“I’m not for that at all,” Lewis, who is on the NFL Competition Committee, said of the change. “We had a good standard, and the whole standard has always been, you want to teach people how to play the game the correct way and go about it the correct way, and that’s not a very good example for young people.” Marvin Lewis is not the GM of the team, so it is not really his responsibility to select players... but I think it's fair to say that if he wanted rid of Burfict, Pacman, etc. it would happen. It is definitely his job to keep control of his players on the field, though, so their on-field misbehavior absolutely reflects upon him as a coach. And it's deeply hypocritical of him to make lofty declarations about players being role models while his team continues to employ two of the dirtiest and most-fined players in the league. I wish the ESPN interviewer, Katherine Terrell, had asked him if he thought Burfict was a good example for young people. Bob Kraft Robert Kenneth Kraft (born June 5, 1941) is an American businessman. He is the chairman and chief executive officer of the Kraft Group, a diversified holding company with assets in paper and packaging, sports and entertainment, real estate development and a private equity portfolio. His sports holdings include the National Football League's New England Patriots, Major League Soccer's New England Revolution, and the stadium in which both teams play, Gillette Stadium.  Bob Kraft loves Donald Trump and wants to kiss him on the mouth. Vincent Van Goatse posted:Belichick and Bob Kraft: being generally evil and also Trump. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2017/05/03/robert-kraft-patriots-deflategate-trump/101237572/ quote:New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft said “envy and jealousy” played a role in the NFL’s Deflategate sanctions over a violation he described as “nonsense and foolishness" at a business leader summit on Tuesday night. quote:“Well, I don’t hold grudges, but I also don’t forget anything,” Kraft said with a smirk. “Envy and jealousy are incurable diseases. I’m going into my 24th season as an owner. I’m passionate about owning a football team in my hometown. quote:Kaft praised his team’s ability to go 3-1 without Brady at the start of the 2016 regular season. He called the Patriots’ historic comeback victory against the Atlanta Falcons at Super Bowl LI a “great lesson for the millennials on how hard work, perseverance and never giving up” can pay off. Also, this: http://deadspin.com/this-is-the-story-about-robert-krafts-casino-holdings-t-1794594130 quote:It goes without saying (hey there, Las Vegas Raiders!) that the NFL’s gambling policy is a hypocritical mess. But now that I no longer work for Rupert Murdoch, I can plainly state that every word out of Roger Goodell’s mouth about legalized sports betting for the past 20 months has been nothing but lip service. The author, formerly a New York Post reporter, goes on to explain how this story was quashed within minutes back in 2015, most likely because Kraft or Goodell called up their buddy Rupert Murdoch and had it silenced. That act is outside our statute of limitations for this douechebag contest, but Kraft's ownership and apparently rules-violating presence on the Apollo's board remains. SO, who is the bigger douchebag?

Marvis Lewis is just a crotchedy old man who should have been fired by now. Bob Kraft is a poo poo heel owner who enables Belichick and Brady, believes in the Patriot Way, and even weaponized his wife's death to bolster the brand. He also promoted the idea that Deflategate was a conspiracy against Brady and, when he saw the writing on the wall, tried to throw himself onto the sword gently caress him.

Hunt11 posted:Bob Kraft Seriously though can we filter out the rest of the Bengal entries for this round if they keep on ending up in these lopsided match ups? Kraft was seeded 25th while Lewis was seeded 8th, so I don't feel like I can anticipate who should or shouldn't be kept. In any case there's only one Bengal left, and it's Joe Mixon who was seeded fifth. So basically no, sorry. e. Just to be clear, Marvin Lewis was nominated by Benne and seconded by Anals of History and Cavauro. With two seconds, he's seeded in a group of 8 nominees that included Mixon, while the other Bengals that have been complained about were ones with 1 second, so they were all seeded lower.
