  1. 45-10, people will have anxiety over how Rice outscored us 10-3 in the 4Q.

    Fuck Big 12 refs

    The Big XII Network idea never really got going enough to even get it in front of the major networks. The initial belief was that ADs were going to have to pay (or lose revenue) to get it started up and that was a non-starter enough to not even explore the idea.
  3. You remember correctly. I'm impressed that half this board thinks Jones is ass at tackle and wouldn't finish last season starting, and the other half have him easily starting over Williams and Perkins.
  4. I won't be there, but it actually does suck that the MOB isn't performing. Also, it's the weirdest controversy of all time for one school decide to sell their entire ticket allotment and then blame the home team for not selling them more tickets for their band when the game is already sold out.
  5. Counterpoint: Sweed and Pittman would've held onto the ball when it hit their hands.
  6. It's never bothered them in the past.
  7. Aren't they honoring the '63 team? Might have something to do with it.
  8. This is all true. I don't like the implication people are making though that this was somehow exploiting Oher, though. Oher is an now an ex-NFL player largely because the Tuoys provided him resources he needed at a critical time in his life. It was at the very least a mutually beneficial relationship. And even if it were some sort of cold business-like relationship. It's obvious who benefited more.
  9. There's plenty of non-sinister reasons to have a conservatorship instead of adoption. I imagine actually adopting a teenager who has runway from foster care isn't the easiest or most successful endeavor.
  10. It's hard to make sense of anything in practice reports. We played end with both Ojomo and Broughton quite a bit last year. Sorrell usually would sub out, and we'd give a 3-4 look. I want to say that sometimes Sorrell replaced Ovie and we'd give more of a currently-trending (at least in college) "heavy" 4-3 look. "Heavy" here referring to the alignment of a DE (very tight, nearly heads up over the tackle) moreso than his size. Sorrell and Sweat were usually the DEs in stack.

    I understand your venn diagram argument. It just doesn't make sense with what the law wants to accomplish. There's probably not many black people in Denver the are into mariachi music. Mariachi band can therefore refuse to play events for black customers? You know because the Venn Diagram is so so small.

    We are literally using it the same way, identity, as in the characteristics that describe the customer. What the person is. Specifically, those characteristics protected by this law. Doesn't protecting these characteristics as a class also protect them as individual identities? I don't understand your how is this broadening the language or your issue would be with it either way. You literally can't explain what you believe or why across several pages, why try to explain someone else's postiion? This discussion feels over. You seem disinterested and I have become so.

    Generally, no. In my scenario, yes. I feel that I've already explained that the expression being commissioned matters without regard for the demographics of the customer.

    The hypothetical is extreme so 99.999% of the board would agree with it. I want to know from intelligent posters that view the case differently why the outcome is different? Or, really, what's their knife-edge where any form of expression and discrimination get separated?

    I believe everyone offering an opinion on it has agreed it's okay to refuse the white customer. Myself included.

    I disagree but can understand this (see my painter post above), but it also doesn't apply to the case at hand.
  17. JBJ

    The Supremes

    That's not any different from my scenario? My revised website designer specializes in the field needed, doesn't have qualms with offensive or hateful content, refuses to do the same work they already do because the customer is white.

    This is like the 5th time someone has agreed on this point that I also agree with. The question I keep asking is why do you think the same logic does not apply in this case? And I guess I have you completely wrong on the racist painter example?

    The Supremes

    I kind of understand the issue with the analogy (it's not an issue to me because the work is an expression either way to me), but allow me to correct it: The web developer specializes in black pride websites, but now is refusing to do a white pride website. We don't know the exact messaging yet, but the plaintiff can show that the developer has worked with offensive and racist material in the past on black websites.

    I (think) I get where you are coming from now but don't agree that any should be illegal. --- Sorry to do this but another thought exercise: There is a particular ass of a painter who does not believe in interracial marriage. He is commissioned to recreate the same photo of an interracial couple on 5 separate occasions: 1) by a same-race couple. 2) by a different interracial couple. 3) by the couple themselves. 4) By a mixed person. 5) By a mixed person who says they are their child. He refused them all, which can be illegal without violating 1A? --- I don't believe any of these scenarios can be illegal. It's the same expression and the customer is irrelevant to me. I believe I understand your stance well enough to know that you think #3 is different from #1. Because the identity of the customer in #3 is included as part of the expression. This obviously isn't the case in #1. Out of sheer curiosity, what about the others? Or have I completely missed something?

    Do you think that in this case, she is actually doing #1 (theoretically-actually at least) or that it doesn't matter whether she, in her mind, is doing #2 because because the result is similar to #1?
