“Your belief that kids should be able to get away with anything”

Pretty much. Although, I'm also noticing a lot of claims in this thread that they would support the cop even if their kid behaved that way. I don't buy it though. Every time some suburban white kid does something wrong, their right wing "personal responsibility" preaching parents do all they can to cover up or deny it.

I love how white men that claim to live in fear of ‘government tyranny’ and believe that it is righteous to rebel against it are the first ones to insist that all black people should strictly obey every police officer like a submissive dog.

Imagine if an African American security officer did this to a white high school student.

This better?

“If they make mistakes, you know, it’s not like they’re professionals. They’re just amateurs. Kids, really. Young, young boys. So young, these boys. Anyway, what were we talking about?”

It is a pittance in the face of the absolutely insane fucking stacks of cash other people get to bring in for the work those students do.

Yes, which is why we see all those D-I coaching staffs push their students to go all the way through with their degrees, for sure, man

You are going commit yourself to 50 hours of practice a week?

“People are willing to be exploited, why not let them be exploited?” is a really dumb and bad argument.

And FYI, there is no one waiting around the block volunteering to play professional (or even semi-professional) football for free. There are absolutely zero people who will give up their current jobs, relocate, put up with two-a-days in the summer, asshole coaches, and all the other shit professional athletes put up…

Ah fuck off with this. You are going commit yourself to 50 hours of practice a week? Also, there is no demand for shitty football players. There is demand for good football players.

No one will watch the shitty football players play. Otherwise, people would just watch people play football at the park instead of…

“Negroes are not the only poor in the nation. There are nearly twice as many white poor as Negro, and therefore the struggle against poverty is not involved solely with color or racial discrimination but with elementary economic justice.”

It was not legal,

How interesting that the team who tried to unionize beats the team from a school named after a racist robber baron on Labor Day weekend.

If the player was black and didn’t take paternity leave this clown would criticize him for not being there for his child.

You don’t spend very much time thinking, do you?
