Yeah that’s totally what I said.

You are right, but lets push your analogy just a little further. When we treat the symptoms of a cold, you make the cold less likely to infect others. So taking away the stars and bars down from state court houses won’t cure racism, but it will make it a little harder to pass along to others. And that is worth doing.

I never understood the whole “Southern Pride” aspect with the Confederate flag. The Confederacy lost. And badly. It’s not like this was some war of atrition in which both sides just stopped fighting and signed leave treaties. They were routed and destroyed.

Lemons are the same color as the sun. Firing a lemon into the sun can have unforeseen consequences, including but not limited to: lemon juice squirting into space, acne, and mild diarrhea. Anyway, can you imagine being Don Lemon’s white intern who had to get that sign printed up at Kinko’s?

Worthwhile read and on point, but I take issue with this line:

A: No one is suggesting that we take confederate flags away from individuals.

How many Cavs fans do you think went out and bought Dellavedova jerseys after Game 3? Dozens? Hundreds? Hahaha, fuckers.

Most definitely losing your mind. He jumped straight up, meaning he came straight down, meaning there was no “momentum” in that direction. He also staggered forward into the player for a solid three seconds, when he could have taken one step backwards and been out of the way.

Another great bicycle kick goal.

What an idiot. He’s allowed to use his hands.

This was a great moment strictly for Dave’s admiration for Peyton.

I think because one offense is directly related to the game and the other is outside of the scope of the game?

Once people realize that football players are humans like the rest of us, maybe we’ll stop holding them to these lofty standards. Sure, domestic abuse is horrible and the men and women who abuse others should totally be punished, and those that continue to do so should see a harsher punishment. But after they serve…

Nice to see Cano is on board with the whole trying to shorten the game thing.

I'm sure one little argument will turn into a big argument pretty damn quickly.

Plenty of time for him to resurrect his career.

Premature and not entirely true? Sounds like my sex life, amirite?

But you still target Sherman. Brady has done the same shit for longer (trash talking, beating his chest) and worse (belittling teammates) , but you comment on a thread about Brady without expressing how much you hate him. That is an inherent double standard.

Every athlete at that level is a loud mouth and a dickhead to the other team. Manning and Brady scream at everyone on the field (refs, teammates, opponents). Why the hate for Sherman? What makes him different? I would argue that his critiques of the NFL have been some of the most important things that an athlete has…

I had a slightly different, but equally insane take: The Hawks have already decided to get rid of Lynch in the offseason, but they can't very well cut ties with the Super Bowl hero who scored the winning touchdown. So, instead, they put it in Wilson's hands. What could possibly go wrong?
