IIRC, Panthers called time out so their upstairs team had a longer chance to review, so they could advise on whether or not to do it. They felt that preserving the opportunity to challenge later was worth more to them than the timeout. I agree with you that it wasn’t worth it at that point, but I guess they thought…

Isn’t that what it already means?

No, that isn’t what I said. What I said was, they can’t LEAD prayers.

As someone who is not religious, I agree with all of this... As long as whomever leads the prayer isn’t paid with taxpayer money. That means, no coach or other team/university official.

I’ll start with my disclaimer: I haven’t been prouder to be a Seahawks fan than I am right, to see that they might, as a whole team, join in such an important protest. And Kaepernick deserves the credit for being willing to start this whole thing off, given what this could cost him.

Do you think awareness has reached a larger saturation level than before Kaepernick started all this?

And the hospital personnel are the ones who are legally in trouble for having shared this. Because, if you notice, I specifically mention “invasion of privacy.”

If anyone has a legitimate case of invasion of privacy here, it’s likely the doctors whose names appeared without redaction. And I’m not even sure about them.

I seriously hope their schedule is conducive to them getting those four losses!

A shot, but no guarantee.

RIP home button.

I cared more about Harambe’s death than Jobs’.

Mmmmmm green onionnnnnnnnnnnnnn

See, not even trying at some positivity for the Broncos really cheapens your unwillingness to provide any for Washington’s team.
