If Adrian Peterson, who actually beat his kids until the point of lacerations and injuries requiring medical attention, can get work because he is/was good at what he does, then I’m going to go ahead and argue that Colin Kaepernick can take political stances far more inflammatory and controversial than “America’s not…

Three things. One, Johnson was bombing Cambodia as early as ‘65. Nixon certainly stepped it up into a more organized campaign but it began under Johnson.

Dude, I lived in Miami for a decade. It’s not a tiny faction that are vehemently anti-Castro. It is more generational. Virtually every Cuban-American over age 45 is intensely anti-Castro, pro-embargo, etc. Most young people Cubans are much more open minded and nuanced.

So spare us the idea that the reason for Cuban people suffering is Castro and only Castro.

If we’re going to get deep into the weeds of trying to weigh up the legitimacy of Cuban-Americans and their feelings on Castro you can’t just ignore the context within his regime existed. His revolution was against a repressive and corrupt regime that preceded it. It was a violent rebellion(they tend to be) and there…

While I would say that Pinochet deserves a special spot in hell, that’s a distinction without a difference. Again, I’m not saying Castro is not viewed negatively, at all. I’m saying the fact that Kap once misguidedly wore a Castro shirt isn’t that big a deal except for those whose currency is making big deals out of…

I’ll give you that we do occasionally project Cubans (and, really, many nationalities) as monolithic, and certainly some have more nuanced views on it. The overwhelming opinion of him, however, is negative. The degree might change, of course, as some consider him the spawn of Stalin while others just see him as your…

I’m not defending Castro nor implying that Cubans do either. As I said, they were right to celebrate his passing.

I somehow doubt that there are more Cubans in Southern Florida who are sensitive about Castro than there are people in any fanbase who are sensitive about being “anti-police”.

the large number that still can’t see their families stuck in Cuba

“a reasonable case against signing him”

When they were testing the severity of Tannehill’s injury they decided to apply just a little pressure. He collapsed to the ground immediately. So everything seems normal to me.

If the NBA has been more successful there, it’s not due to any courageous stand by the NFL in defense of human rights. If the NFL could have double their fanbase in China tomorrow, they would.

Women-beating is as American as sports gets along with bad officiating and PEDs! YOU CAN’T DISRESPECT THE FLAG IN GAWD’S CAWNTRY, SON!

Karl didn’t want to be click bait. That’s silly.

Joe Mixon can break a woman’s jaw and get drafted but CK calls attention to serious societal ills and he’s shunned by the whole league.

The NBA has it’s problems, but it doesn’t make me feel gross in quite the same way the NFL does.

Sounds an awful lot like cowardice to me.

The continued unemployment of Colin Kaepernick—the first and most prominent and outspoken participant in last season’s national anthem protests—is an ongoing embarrassment for the NFL

The fact that NFL owners consider Colin Kaepernick to be a distraction but Richie Incognito to be a valuable on-field contributor tells you everything you need to know about the league.
