There aren't a bunch of Jewish players, and the Eagle's owner probably doesn't want to come down too hard on a black player given the entire state of racial discourse in the U.S. right now.

He was under the impression if you take Hitler's words that someone else quoted (WITH HITLER ATTRIBUTION!), then it is ok to use them. oh yeah, then doubled down and thought it would be extra ok if you scratched out "Hitler said" before the quote. Whole thing is wild.

But also they weren’t real Hitler quotes, the guy Watson was quoting made them up as part of a fake dialogue between Hitler and a soldier.

The quotes are from Black Hebrew Israelite stuff, not sure how many layers of irony poison nonsense ends up with it being attributed to Hitler, but there you go. It's also a super fragmented belief system, with tons of different tiny churches and sects, but my guess is it originally came from the Church of the Living God, the Pillar Ground of Truth for All Nations because they've got a presence in Philadelphia and they have the coolest name.

The difference in level of response is interesting. If some players had put those quotes out there they'd immediately be deemed an anti-Semitic monster. Instead DJax gets "Well he was probably confused and didn't understand" or it's put down to him being just plain stupid. That Black Israelite stuff is nothing new and they've been saying loving awful poo poo for a while now.

I'm a little surprised the response wasn't stronger given like a third of the league's teams are owned by Jewish people.

Ah yes, here we go quote:The NFL Players Association has informed its board of player representatives that the league wants to place 35 percent of player salaries in escrow in order to help manage costs during the 2020 season, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Media. NFL Media previously floated the possibility of salary givebacks this season, given that the league is facing lost revenue from fewer (or no) fans at games and fewer (or no) preseason games. The cancellation of regular-season games would reduce revenues even farther. quote:Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reported that NFLPA exec Don Davis told those reps on a conference call that the union’s response was to tell the league to “kick rocks” when they put forth the proposal. Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas posted a couple of tweets in response as well.

Feels like maybe there's something a bit problematic about assuming a black player is confused and doesn't understand as opposed to on some level believing it. I mean the pseudo-quote isn't exactly subtle. With regards to player pay at what point does it become cheaper for the ownership to lose the season entirely rather than play a shorter season and still pay salaries out fully? Michael Thomas might get what he's looking for. J33uk fucked around with this message at 14:06 on Jul 8, 2020 |

I mean the pseudo-quote isn't exactly subtle. I think it has more to do with with the quote being a fictional Hitler citing Qanon style nonsense from a movement most sports fans are probably not familiar with. If he'd actually quoted something from Mein Kampf I think there would be more outrage. You might not be wrong though. Think of the Pats kicker, no one was willing to give that guy the benefit of the doubt over his tattoo and I think in large part that's because we've just experienced so many white athletes expressing horribly racist opinions recently that we're highly skeptical to believe someone's made a choice or statement out of ignorance and not intentional hate.

I mean I'm sure it happened because we live in hell world, but I really didn't see anyone giving the Pats' nazi kicker the benefit of the doubt. He and the team have been pretty loudly criticized for it from all angles.

Well, off the bat I’d point out that white players don’t have centuries of oppression and mistreatment coming behind them, so yeah they don’t get the benefit of a doubt that PoC do. There’s also the context that, at a time when PoC players and society are speaking up about racial issues, if a PoC meaning to speak in support of this fucks up, they get more of a benefit of a doubt than someone who is presumably not speaking in support of it. Like, yeah, there’s different standards for people of color, and that’s also meant to address the centuries of oppression that got us to this point; these aren’t abstract hypothetical philosophical arguments, they’re playing out right in front of us, and trying to bring the conversation to some overarching generalized “let’s just treat everyone as equals without any more thought” skews into some All Lives Matter territory.

You're right that small gently caress ups are often used as a weapon to bludgeon players in his position. Those who speak out on issues of race and then have the twitter swarm of racist fucks descend. Posting a highlighted section of a book talking about white Jews and their plans for world domination isn't a small gently caress up. Then posting the same thing with the paragraphs explicitly mentioning Hitler and the Jews blacked out to seemingly explain what you really meant isn't a small gently caress up.

Watson probably gets a bit more since (IMO anyway) he's a better pure passer. Both played for moron coaches and I can't really figure out which one is worse between Garrett and Buttchin.

That's not wrong, and you definitely need a good QB to compete, but can you build a SB winning team when you're paying a good but not transcendent QB 20% of your cap?
