    yep pretty much.

    Maybe there is no evidence because they didn't let it bother them and you heard nothing about it because they thought it was trivial. When someone doesn't make a scene it doesn't make news headlines. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

    I'm not arguing for the use of it. I said words are trivial and they only affect you if you allow them too. There's a huge difference.
  4. Apex73
    That is the best proposed compromise Ive heard so far.

    I just think they are reaching too far on what I see as a trivial issue. Like B. Jones said, the song itself doesn't have racist intent. I don't want to pretend like I know their feelings about it but there comes a point where you should really examine is this really worth the trouble? All the other stuff I totally understand why they would want that and they should get it but this is asking a little too much in my opinion and obviously even in the opinions of former players.

    There's a lot of thin skin out there today for sure. But what amazes me is people think because they don't use a few words they can say as much horrible shit with the rest of them as they want. Like it's ok if you call someone a piece of shit cancer to society as long as you don't say one of the banned words. It's hilarious and hypocritical.

    Translation: I have no argument.

    Maybe if you were in a leadership role. It's still not the words that hurt you in that scenario. It's the violence. That scenario relies on getting everyone on the same page to hit you in the face which is next to impossible. I see the correlation but that's a reaching counter point.

    That's not true. I have black friends who don't care if the word is said at all. The idea that you can control what someone says or thinks is ridiculous. So I don't understand why you would worry about it. It's not like legislation or violence. Words have next to no impact unless you either allow it or are a child who's brain is still developing. If I were you, I would stop speaking for all black people. They don't all think the same way you know?

    I mean that's all well and good in theory but it definitely could go a completely different direction. Meaning they get their demands met then they make more later. I have no idea what they would be its just hypothetical. I guess we cross that bridge when we get there.

    I would say demanding money be given to BLM is pretty unreasonable. But that's just my opinion. And who's to say there won't be more demands even if you meet all these?
  12. Apex73
    I mean no one can really hurt you with words unless in your mind you give them permission to do so. They matter way less than anything else.
  13. Apex73
    Its definitely not consistent but Ive never had a problem with cracker. I mean it's kind of hilarious actually. Then again I think words matter less than almost anything so I don't know why people get so upset about them.
  14. Apex73
    Yea I also think football time changes things. A lot easier to be united then when you have a common goal.
  15. Apex73
    While that is true, the statement not all cops are bad is also true. That's why people continue to say it. I definitely see where he's coming from though.
  16. Apex73
    Then what would your limit be?
  17. Apex73
    I mean if you mean by cooperate to just agree 100 percent with all the demands that is just compliance not cooperation.
  18. Apex73
    I also think a lot of the real issues get conflated with just overall sjw nonsense. Which isn't fair. But the fact that we've had a lot of people in the country screaming about nonsense and aligning themselves with black people isn't doing anyone any favors. Now it's harder to make the distinction between black people going through real issues and just sjw nonsense. Sucks.
  19. Apex73
    Yea I don't think that is what this is about. That would make sense if they were all demanding like cars or material bullshit but this is different.
  20. Apex73
    Yea twitter's main problem is it's limited amount of caricatures allows people to generalize what someone says and take it completely out of context very easily.
  21. Apex73
    Ive been saying that for years now. Nuance almost seems completely lost in today's society at least in the way we listen.
  22. Apex73
    Both sides need to listen carefully to each other. Compromise rarely happens when people are demanding and screaming or tone deaf and dismissive.
  23. Apex73
    Glad he's taking the time to do this. I don't 100 percent agree with all of it but it's a conversation that needs to be had. Good for him.
  24. Apex73
    Well in a sense he has but a lot of that is on him.
  25. Apex73
    Don't feed the political troll dude. You are arguing with the equivalent of a light post.
