It’s obvious the rope is an implied threat. Had he not brought the rope, he would have likely been protected. The rope=noose, is not unlike a burning cross under the circumstances. I doubt he’ll be tried for the felony, but I bet he pleads to the misty.

Good thing this isn’t an article about Kaep’s protests then.

So does George Carlin...

Ballistic Pulisic!!! 

When you think about it though, it really should have been obvious. You know, because everyone hates Philadelphia.

Hard to prove malice in a case like this. I’d rather take what we can get.

Not really. This is what happens when they get caught on video. See the Walter Scott case. It doesn’t really lend itself to the “they have a tough job” narrative, when you see one of these thugs shoot an innocent man in cold blood with your own eyes. (Though I still can’t explain the Eric Garner case. That makes me…

But cameras still existed in your childhood, yes? In fact, I would bet that it would not be too terribly difficult to find stories about sexual deviants who took photos of other people in your home town, while you were growing up. It happened occasionally in my small town or in small towns nearby. And guess what? None…

Seriously, what happened to you in the bathroom as a child that didn’t happen to the rest of us? Were you regularly exposed to other people’s genitalia in the rest room? What did you see that makes you so fearful? Was there a gnome involved?

Because we have a constitutional right to assemble. Even if the group assembled is human waste, it’s constitutionally protected.

I mean, Rothlisberger is a rapist worthy of extreme scorn, but the quoted paragraph seemed fairly innocuous. It didn’t even mention Kap. Was this article just to remind everyone that Rothlisberger is a turd? Because if so, I am in favor.

Neither of those guys were accused of domestic violence. Which has a clear set of rules for suspensions...unless you’re white.

Yep, I saw that in an article after I posted. Tough spot for Bosa.

I understand the history underlying the concepts. And I have more tolerance for trigger warnings than safe spaces. Both, however, create an unrealistic expectation of society. Both, ultimately, will cause more harm than good. Demanding society enable your delicate sensibilities will only ensure that your sensibilities…

Eh, they’re passive aggressive and self-entitled, just like the generation that spawned them. You want to take on political correctness? Then go take it on. Don’t demand a politically correct echo chamber to shield you from the troglodytes, go fight them.

I agree it’s fair to ask for both- his leverage is minimal. But to insist on it to the point of publicly throwing him under the bus if he refuses is completely beyond the pale. To just shatter any relationship the organization is hoping to build is (to borrow a phrase) asinine. I guess there’s a good reason top-5…

Fun fact: Zeke’s contract did not have offset language. Wentz signed a dumb deal. Doesn’t mean that Bosa should. In fact, the NFLPA and the player’s should be irate with Wentz for signing that deal. His agent should never be allowed near an NFL rookie contract ever again.

Thank you. Christ, I thought I was going nuts trying to explain this shit to people. The Chargers are trying to get a top-5 pick for the price of a bottom third first rounder. It’s like calling the Jeweler a crook because he won’t sell you the gold Rolex for the same price as the stainless one.

First of all, who? Who has both deferred money and offset language in their rookie deal for a top-5 draft pick. Second of all, even if some other mope got suckered that doesn’t make it a good deal.
