Playing devils advocate to not be JUST a giant rear end in a top hat



At least he's not the main defensive coordinator. Just an assistant. That's at least something

In addition to being a rapist, the last season he was somewhat competent at coaching his team lost the superbowl to a backup qb

Rapist
Extremely bad at his job results-wise
Bullies coworkers (including Slay)

Very much a Belichick tree guy with the Belichick tree effect (acts like an rear end in a top hat because it's how Bill did, gets nowhere near the results Bill at least got with Brady where the behavior could maybe in any way be justified as coming with benefits) in a way that both the Lions and Patriots players publicly became fed up with by the times of his exits there

Also indicted in 1996 for sexual assault. After he was hired as Lions HC their president outright said he didn't even know about that, if you want to know how good NFL background checks can be

Just keep looking at what we're doing, keep watering and ask yourselves first and know 'Are you watering? And are you fertilizing every day?' So when it's time to pop, it'll pop.
Hoping this is only the Eagles assisting Slay in his plan to put Patricia in some kind of convoluted Saw death trap

Here's an article I just found

The NFL Is Struggling to Walk the Ethical High Wire of Sports Betting

The league is raking in money from sports gambling while continuing to punish players, including the Detroit Lions’ Jameson Williams, for any betting policy violations—even seemingly innocuous ones

Well I guess my point is that if it is impossible to actually prevent, whats the point of the virtue signaling? The reality is these players *do* this poo poo and there's no way to prevent it, full stop. What they're really doing here is punishing uneducated black kids who don't live in the world of rich white people thinking of ways to skirt laws. You know, racism.

Yes its hosed that players can gamble on their own games for obvious reasons but gl stopping it

1. This has nothing to do with race, what the gently caress.
2. People do illegal things constantly and don't get caught, doesn't make it okay or that it should be legalized.
3. Do you, the consumer, the person whom is gambling, want overt cheating while you're gambling?

If you cared about any of this you would have been against the nfl to partner with gambling. The nfl has a vested interest in the gambling orgs making as much profit as possible. This conflicts with the goal of having a fair game on the field.

It does. The fact that you characterize the kids who got punished as dumb is on you, I think they’re doing something most players in the NFL do but didn’t have the benefit of doing it in a way that wouldn’t get punished.

It shouldn’t be ok, but we just identified an inescapable, super easy to abuse loophole. I think it needs to be specifically illegal to bet against your own team. But there will always be things like win trading, you can’t avoid it.

Even if you made gambling illegal period, you aren’t going to stop it, but at least in that case you’ve made it degrees harder.

You want it to stop? Make it illegal for the families of nfl athletes to gamble on the nfl.

The gently caress did you think it meant? Stop being racist towards black people. Stop assuming they're all wallowing in ignorance from their upbringing. It's incredibly insulting both to them and people who grew up in ghettos with poor families like me.
