We donate a shitload each year. It’s just my opinion it should be up to the individual to make that choice, that’s all. I don’t know how that is construed as controversial.
Your donations to the NRA, Joel Osteen and the 12th Man Foundation don’t do shit about fuck.

I mean you made a rather specific, controversial statement. There’s plenty more accusations I wouldn’t really gaf about, but your example is pure bullshit.
No it’s not. It’s your calling card. Luckily you have a spare kiddo.

Don't have a link handy atm, but I saw that Allred is speaking at the DNC tonight
Pretty big about face for him. I’ll give him credit for seeing the light and getting on board with Kamala.

I sometimes think White folks who consider themselves "liberal" or quite inclusive, have a big blindspot on how these interactions actually work. What the above doesn't consider is how normal and blasé, this is to Black folks. The currency to be indignant and have a zero tolerance policy for interacting with either MAGA or hard-core conservatives, exists only on the social media hyperspace for most Black people. Do you really believe Black families have some mental fog about the political leanings of say Nick Saban, or even more obviously Mike Gundy? And yet, players have committed to them and will continue to do so. The players are quite well aware of Quinn or Arch, or Nick Bosa. But if you are Black, and work in some spaces, you will just to know how to have real, true relationships with these people and at the same time not be under any illusions of where they stand. I hesitate to use the word, "learn", because you don't learn it; it's just the way things are. People are complex. Peyton Manning likely voted Republican (and gives money to HBCUs). Brady has done a good job of dialing it back lately, but we know what his relationship with Trump is. You would be hard pressed to find two other players that would be as comfortably welcomed onto say a Black (the Pivot) Sports Podcast, or cutting it up with Black athletes as those two. You think Dawn Staley doesn't know or understand that part of Brady?
But this isn't something special to athletics. If you are a Black lawyer, or doctor, or accountant, or engineer, or any other sort of professional, you could easily point to colleagues from work that are actual friends, that voted for Trump and are gearing up to do so again. Two of my mentors fit that to a tee. Yet, I have no hesitation about calling them for advice on cases/patients, or work issues, or career moves etc. I know they don't consider me inferior or would sabotage me, and yet there is no guessing on their votes for this election. If that seems hard to square, I don't know what to tell you. I'm just telling you, as a Black person, there is nothing out of the ordinary "interacting" with such people.
Great post. Thanks for sharing your perspective. To clarify, I was coming at it from the perspective of the white players interacting with their black teammates, not the other way around. In my more advanced age and maturity, I look at it from a different lens than I probably would have 25 years ago.
As @C-Man pointed out yesterday, a lot of us had perspectives when we were young and dumb that we cringe at now. I hope that’s where some of the athletes of the younger generation are at now and don’t end up with brain rot like Swindell, Street, Clemens, et al. In my middle age now, I can’t imagine standing in front of a black teammate that I call my brother and try to even think about justifying a vote for a person that wants to take away rights and make life harder for people who don’t look like me. That’s just reprehensible in my mind, but I have the benefit of life experience.
FWIW, in case you didn’t know and I misunderstood part of your post, Saban is a Dem and has been very supportive of the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.

Or if the delivery driver is dicking around on the way and takes way longer than what a customer would driving straight home I think.
I’m not saying that all delivery drivers are the smartest, but they’re getting paid by the delivery so they’re incentivized to not dick around. They make more money the faster they can complete a delivery.

It’s always weird to see the Law & Order crowd cry about rampant crime then get upset when Dems do something to address their concerns. “Oh, you think this is an issue we should all take a look at and do something about? Cool, let’s do that to assuage your concerns and make our populace feel safer.” “Nooooo, don’t do that!” It’s the same shit with the border deal.

It’s as accurate barometer as most the polls. Should people not post polls?
I don’t think you understand how gambling works. While I won’t claim that polls are accurate, betting markets have zero correlation to polls. People placing bets /= a barometer.

This is the shit I mentioned earlier re: Paxton’s “investigation” and Drunky McDrunkface.
Damn, gotta give credit where credit is due. A Republican, in Parker County no less, with a reasoned and well written dismissal of falsehoods regarding supposed fraud. Imagine if more Republicans would come forward and debunk these stupid rumors.

Can we start a separate thread for betting? A bunch of people DGAF about these betting markets.

Does Kamala have any policies out yet?
I’m a huge supporter of her policy to highlight Trump as the whiny little bitch that he is whenever she has the chance.

I watched Doug Emhoff's speech for a second time because it was so good and so strategic, but also highly relatable, for me at least.
Do you think any of Trump’s kids call Melania “Momlania?”

I get it and I understand that my political leanigns don't aign with yours but I like to think you believe being a decent person doesn't equate with being ultra liberal these days.
If he truly is voting for Kamala, take the win and move on. At least he’s not voting for fascism. Meanwhile, I’ll be at my newly opened post birth abortion clinic. Business is booming!!!

A board comprised of ultra liberals somehow shocked to find out a few former Texas athletes fall into the other 55% of the state population that disagree with them politically. LOL.
Anyone who’s surprised that a bunch of white athletes who have been told how special they are all their lives somehow end up being entitled assholes are dumber than said athletes.

It used to be you likely didn't know your teammates' political views or whatever dumbfuck shit they thought. Same with your coworkers, your neighbors, etc.
Then Obama got elected and that went out the window. And social media.
Very true, but I also find it strange that you can play a sport for so long surrounded by teammates that you call your brothers and then support a racist, either openly on social media or just in your brain. These are guys you’re interacting with on a daily basis and going to battle with. On the field, he’s your brother and off the field you support people who think your brother is less worthy than you are. The disconnect has always blown my mind. Perhaps it demonstrates how bad critical thinking skills are in vast swaths of our population.

It always amazes me how white football players can play a sport where more than half of the players at the highest level are black and openly be the worst MAGAT. Arch and Quinn openly supporting a racist POS seems like it would make for some awkward interactions with teammates.

I listened to KH last night in Mwk and to my ears, "Not going back" was heard too often...I'm already tired of it and I just worry she would benefit from a different rallying cry. All due deference to her incredible campaign team...they have been absolutely amazing so far.
The Trumpers really got tired of “Lock her up” in 2016. Never really did resonate with that crowd and it quit energizing them after a couple of weeks.
