If Goodell or anyone else in the League office had this video over the Summer, then shame on them forever.  My bet is we will never know for sure.

That’s not how layoff’s work. Every single CBA gives companies the right to layoff employees. Some of them include language that require a certain amount of notice and severance pay (usually based on service time), but ultimately there is little or nothing unions can do to prevent it under the vast majority of CBA’s.

What strikes me there is that if you turned off the sound you’d have absolutely no idea what’s being advertised.

You must have worked very hard on that.  It still doesn’t substantively address the fact that you are pretending to not have written things that you did in-fact write. That’s ok, though. This isn’t getting anyone anywhere, so I’ll concede the points. You can screen shot this and keep it in your “Internet Message Board …

You very much did imply that its not a discussion others are free to join. You just did it again, actually (“someone else’s discussion”). So, there was nothing “false” about my accusation (and did you come close to saying “fake news” there, or what?!)

No. 1: this is an open discussion and is not subject to invitation by you, so don’t post if you don’t want people to weigh in.

Good talk! You’ve been taking lessons in argument / rhetoric from the current admin., I see.

You made the comparison, which isn’t relevant in this instance because its not subject to the same standards of analysis as other types of expression.

Your analysis assumes that will be on the only result.  Even if they lose, it calls attention to the issue and will force the judges to explicitly or implicitly state in their opinions that this is a matter to be addressed at the legislative level, which provides leverage in that context.  Moreover, there’s no…

I disagree.  Standing on ceremony and forcing the legal system to wrestle with the problem and these kids’ parents to do the same would be an excellent result.  It’s how you effect progress under our system. 

This wasn’t religious iconography.  This was hate speech, which is specifically illegal under certain circumstances and not afforded the same basic protections as other forms of expression. 

Yes - 1,000 stars. Buck is the most sanctimonious asshole ever allowed to sit behind a mic. He thinks he’s cute because he did a couple of skits lampooning his status as traditional white America’s comfort food (the pizza throwing thing) and wrote the opening to Artie Lange’s book, but in reality he was trying to…

That’s not a good idea. It becomes another excuse for the MAGA folk to talk about how the PC Army is overtaking America. Keep Halloween and force these morons to learn to behave themselves in at least a semi-sensitive manner and make good choices.

Not for the many Holocaust survivors who lived in Skokie at that time. Maybe we’ve changed (not necessarily for the worse) as a society?

to be fair, that isn’t new. Nazis have openly marched in the streets of IL since at least the 70's (Skokie). John Landis lampooned this in the Blues Brothers,

Urban Meyer is a shit and karma is finally finding its way to his front door.

For real though - aren’t you guys thrilled?  How much content do we get around here that’s based in whole or part on bashing Goodell and/or the NFL?  I am not saying they don’t deserve it (they often do), but its seems weird to me that you are bashing them for courting bad press.

A highly redacted document written after Tenet was gone, during the Bush admin’s second term, and that includes a Trump-style walk-back, which conveniently takes the spotlight off of Cheney, Wolfowitz, et al., all of whom despise the CIA. Nice source. I’ll take the reporting of a respected journalist and researcher…

One of many that I have read on the subject- it happens to be one of the best. You might also try “The One Percent Doctrine “and “What Happened” (Scott McCllelan)
