Mr. Funny Pants posted:Oh for gently caress sake, I wasn't trying to say anything profound. I was referring to prominent people saying that some words shouldn't be used because they are so offensive. The point is that the word isn't offensive, it's the context, yet we still have seemingly intelligent people actually proposing that there isn't any context for them. I'm still trying to parse exactly what you're saying, because you cant honestly be saying that "if 'friend of the family' didn't offend people it wouldn't be a bad word."

Mr. Funny Pants posted:Not even close. And I'm not sure how I can better explain, honestly, but I'll try one more time and then wave the white flag and let the thread get back to more interesting stuff. Call a black person a friend of the family? Then you are a horrid piece of poo poo. Use it as a tool to ridicule the horrid pieces of poo poo or make broader points about racism? That's fine. When Cleavon Little popped up from behind that rock in Blazing Saddles and said, "Where the white women at," he wasn't celebrating a godawful racist stereotype, he was ridiculing the idiots that believe such poo poo. Alright, that does make sense. But I'm not sure why you even felt the need to argue it. I'm sure all of us here in TFF recognized that the Onion was using a slur for the purpose of satire.

Good Will Hrunting posted:Not only should impressionable youngsters be taught that taunting is "cool" but also that violence is the best response when you or your peer is the target! If youngsters are so impressionable that Golden Tate waving will scar them for life, they probably shouldn't be allowed to watch a sport where a man could die on the field.

Mr. Funny Pants posted:I won't pretend that I can give an objective argument against it, I've just always found it classless. That's the problem for me. It seems like the people against taunting don't have an argument besides "we don't like it", while those of us who support it can only say "we do like it". You might as well argue about what type of music is the worst, because it is dumb and subjective. p.s. country sucks

Mr. Funny Pants posted:And it sure as poo poo isn't worth the hand-wringing in either direction. Also, I'd be more amenable to it if it was creative or funny. It's so rare to see that. It could definitely be more creative, but I think a key pillar of country music is being tragic and not comic. Is it still country if it is funny?

Sash! posted:If you allow guys that are aggressive and seem to have pretty poor impulse control to overly berate each other, someone's going to get neck punched on the field. It's easier to just make it against the rules than to constantly pull guys off of each other. Somehow making it against the rules does seem to mitigate a lot of the shoving and worse that would be happening. I feel like you're going to have to provide some evidence that the amount of fights would increase. These players are already fighting during games as it is.

Cruel and Unusual posted:Players always try to get away with as much as the referee will let them. The 2010 World Cup Final happened because the referee was too lax. If players are fighting during games, legalizing taunting would most definitely increase the amount of fighting. I don't see why this should result in punishments for taunting. It seems that the penalties for fighting aren't harsh enough and the referees are not doing a good enough job enforcing them (Personal fouls offset, nothing changes.) It seems to me the correct thing to do is crack down on fighting and eject players when they do it, so that there is actually an incentive to not do something that is dangerous, as opposed to banning taunting which harms no one while fights still happen.

swickles posted:Last year when Alex Smith lost his job to Kaepernick, the narrative was "You shouldn't lose your job to injury!" with the Bledsoe/Brady thing being painted as the exception to the rule. Now its like the exact opposite with Cutler and McCown. What exactly happened to change up a "hard rule" in the NFL over the course of a single season. The Niners made it to a Super Bowl with a usurper.

Not technically a football article, but I'm sure you will all enjoy this crap. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/stuart-muszynski/the-12th-man-can-transfor_b_4761246.html quote:Forgive me, but I don't believe that the Seattle Seahawks really won the Superbowl. It was the "12th man" that won it. How else can we explain how an underdog team that was "too young," with a quarterback who was "too short" decimated the Denver Broncos? It gets worse from there.

Febreeze posted:I remember distinctly arguing against those people too, saying you have to be a douche to be evil therefore evil=douche but it was to no avail Well I can kind of understand it if they immediately think of a tank top wearing frat bro when they hear the word 'douche'. I mean yes, I dislike them too, but I'm not sure I'd consider them evil. That said I still would vote Sharper or Hernandez as douche of the year. Maybe when we do the contest again we should change it to "Shithead of the Year" or "Football Associated Individual Who We Really Dislike On A Personal Level", so that the pedants don't derail the contest.

Its Miller Time posted:I was musing about today about how bad football commentary is. Can you name a single commentator or writer who actually discusses the strategy that goes on in a a game? What schemes the teams generally run, how they appear to have schemed for the game, how they countered each other and adjusted within the game, what plays they ran, why they ran them, how things are evolving or changed. FO gets there with some play-by-play analysis but it's exceedingly rare for how large the sport is. Mike Tanier occasionally does some, but if I actually start looking for breakdowns I usually go all the way to someone like Muth, who probably doesn't even get 10 grand a year to write what he does, which is a shame. (Salary pulled completely out of my rear end because I assume he does it for fun and not profit) Gruden is honestly the only big name guy I can think of who discusses that, and he usually saves it for things like the QB camp videos and not the games, which is a tragedy. I also don't like lumping Gruden in with the media because to me he still feels like a coach, just one who is out of work.
