Gleason is campaigning to raise awareness of a disease, should he really risk his reputation just to save a few pussies some mild concussions? Gleason shouldn't have to put his work in jeopardy just to keep a few people from being dinged up in a contact sport.

I would think not reporting it would do more damage, at least if found out. Unless you are just being sarcastic.

I don't see why any of you care what they do. Outside of maybe "my team was going to draft him, now I have to wait. :(" it literally has no relevance to you.

I mean I could see if it was something horrible, but this is rather innocuous.

Good god, get off your high horse you jackass. Why do so many jerkoffs feel the need to get offended on behalf of another person?

That is just weird, yeah if Cam was white it probably would have been different.

I had like 20 meltdowns at the way the media took Palmer's side in that. The exact same people who crucified 85 the year before were applauding Palmer. It was disgusting.

Yeah while I fully support Palmer for what he did, it was obvious they were only on his side because he is willing to work with them a bit.

I don't think athletes "owe" me their thoughts, and the attitude that they do is straight up stupid. Marshawn's contract is for playing football, not giving interviews. He's made it clear that he just doesn't like doing interviews, that it's not personal. Get the gently caress out of his face.

they are actually contractually obligated to speak to the media. That is why they can fine him.

It kind of is when his point is that all this contractually obligated stuff is nonsense, that the man's job is to be good at football and he does that well. That the needless over complication of the American workplace is so ridiculous that we no longer have janitors but "custodial technicians", and that every job in the world comes with a million dumb clauses and contracts, even if you're a ditchdigger.

Or something like that.

Well I thought his argument was going along that line (which I don't do agree it is nonsense) but then he talked about him also being signred to play football, and it seems rather arbitrary to see one as valid but not the other.

I mean you can say one is stupid, but he does owe it to us as much as he owes us to play football.

Yea well he isn't going to give them so they have two options. Cry like little babies or nut up and go try to get a quote from someone else. Since it is the media, break out the kleenex


Well this can be reversed and applied to Marshawn as well.

They aren't going to leave him alone, so he can either play ball or be a baby, it is his choice.

Stephen A should stick to being bad at basketball reporting instead of doing bizarre cherry-picking bullshit fishing for race issues in the NFL.

Well I mean you don't have to fish for race issues in the NFL. Which makes that kind of bizarre.

Hell you don't even have to fish for that particular team.

People are accused of a being a lot of things without repercussions all the time I don't know why racist is special.


Jackson was called a literal gang member (which is much worse an accusation) and nothing happened from that.

Cowherd also strongly implied a dude deserved to get shot because of his rough upbringing (which turned out to not even be the case) and the dude never even had to say sorry.

Well now he only has to out crazy Shannon Sharpe and not Stephen A. Smith, so going forward he will start to make more sense.

Smith also did a segment where he pointed out of phony the whole anthem thing is. He brought up the fact the US paying the NFL is the only reason they are there at all.

Weird loving week.
