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...

I kind of look at it like this. If we as fans let things these celebrities say and do offend us to the point of it no longer being enjoyable we probably are too heavily invested.
I refuse to let much of anything offend me unless it’s a direct personal attack on me or my family. Life is too short and contrary to popular belief people DO have a choice when it comes to what they allow to offend them. I’m just going to enjoy the season for what it is.
I do agree that there is no way this doesn’t spill into the season as far as players are concerned.

Why do you think "this" will spill over into the season for the players? You do realize we are at least three full months from the beginning of the season. Right? And what is "this"? The silent kneeling protest? So what if it does?

But, do agree about not letting things offend me. Unless it is something directed personally toward my family I have no lingering issue with it. Anything towards me personally I definitely don't care. I am more than secure with my inner peace.

So, you mean something like a death threat would offend you? Me too. Probably even Drew.

Nonetheless, I don't think this will carry over into the season. As I've stated before I think this will galvanize the team moving forward.
