But you need to wait and understand the actual human interaction between these teammates. You are projecting your anger. As I mentioned in another thread along these lines. Have you ever said something in anger which you regretted? These teammates, family members to a degree had a blow up. I have had them. I am going through one right now concerning something personal which I have shared with you alone on this forum. It can happen and it can be healed.

As for the "death threats", I would be interested in exactly what Brittney was referring. If indeed threatening then bad. But they had nothing to do with the personal relationship that he has with his teammates.

I say chill, my friend. It is a time to step back and reflect. Take a deep breath or fifty.
Anger? More like Disgust. Disgust with Cancel Culture. Disgust with low standards we now accept as normal behavior, i.e., a laissez-faire attitude toward death threats as a way of life...

The Death Threats, The Cancel Culture, The Political Correct Naratives by those who presume their values are greater than others should be denounced as harshly as police brutality as they are what has brought us to this point...

Okay, look at it this way, JP. You have many employees, no? You have a day when you need everyone there. At the last minute one vital asks to be off for a distant cousin's birthday and you say no. Some of his coworkers are saying you are a hard-ass about it. Now, you have already discussed it with Tom and he says it is cool and he understands as do his coworkers. In the meantime, loopy Aunt Betty goes off her meds and the next day you get some weird death threat via twitter from who the hell knows who saying because Tom can't be off that they are going to take you out.

Is that the fault of those that you know, or old looney assed Betty?

Get the analogy?

Any death threat is bad, but you cannot blame it on anybody but the lunatic making the threat. If it was indeed real, it surely wasn't on Jenkins, or Thomas or any other teammate.

Understand?

You're rationalizing losing our civility is an acceptable cost to winning another Superbowl - my fandom is not that blind...

I agree. Totally. But that isn't the fault of teammates who have come together like adults and come to a meeting of the minds.

Direct your anger toward those at fault. Not to those who are hoping to make things better.

This isn't driven by one or two players who are now in sync with each other. The loss of civility is far beyond that tiny scope.

Malcolm Jenkins isn't evil. Michael Thomas isn't evil. They are both Christian humans wanting the best for their follow mankind.

And, yes, I want another Superbowl. As does every player on our team.

The aforementioned players' behavior of dragging their differences out in the open in a cancel culture attack is a huge problem, no matter how you spin it and should be equally condemned...

So Christians can’t be Evil? Do you know for sure Jenkins and Thomas arent evil? You aren’t there behind closed doors in the meeting rooms or at their homes....

A problem for you personally, I can see. To myself, and most likely most others, is just that, a problem between them that has been since resolved.

But, wait, what is that "cancel culture attack"? I seriously don't understand that description.

As for dragging differences out in the open ... welcome to the modern world of social media. Everyone drags everything these days out into the open. LOL

Your attempt and logic to make this attempt personal for me is about as productive as two monkeys f*cking a basketball...

It will be all too evident that there's a problem in the presumptive, coming season...

Your choice to have blind faith that all is right is just that your choice; human experience and condition dictates that this is not over and all parties will have more strain on them to be successful...

Nonetheless, for a team that claims to feed off of its fans, it'll be hard to draw on that strength when players choose divisive ways on social media to resolve differences...

Especially when those issues alienate most fans as the numbers bear'd that out before and will do so again...
