So F Pittsburgh, lol.

No. I don't think the Steelers can win it all. It is the Saints league to win. We have the most talent from top to bottom. And the media is buying into the Bucs big time. Just give them eight weeks and see if they are even in the running.

Every team Brady is facing is better than any team Brady faced in his Patriot career. Every team his coach is facing is the same.

Right, Gronk will be hurt or on ir by then. Fournette will also be hurt by then too. That secondary is VERY suspect. The o-line will take time to gel with those young players there but it’s Brady he’s god so they gotta make over him.

bc Those who wore his name on their helmets just stated that sexual assault is OK, so long as the current universally accepted social justice platform is advertised on TV and via superstar athletes.

Those photos will exist in perpetuity, without context. It was a bad idea, regardless of the idiot who thumbs up’d the “team” doing it.

"END RACISM"!

You can make your point without using a factually untrue statement. Every fact checking site states that Blake being accused of of raping a minor is untrue.

There was an arrest warrant out for sexual assault. But, it was an alleged assult against his ex, not a 14 year old.

I have no idea how we're ever going to move forward when so many think that every deadly encounter with the police is the deceased/injured fault and that apparently there is no racism by anyone anywhere.

Okay. I removed the meme. I found nothing that states as fact that Jacob Blake raped a child. Everything that I've read about him reveals that he is a detestable human being. Perhaps the cops could've handled the situation better. I don't know. Thankfully I wasn't in their shoes.

The narrative being pushed through the media and virtue signaling politicians is white cop bad. Black criminal good.
Progressive Insurance is making it known that they are specifically funding "black owned" companies during football games to strengthen their ridiculous agenda as well. This divisive garbage should not be encouraged and certainly not during a game that is meant only to entertain people that want a break from this new bizarre reality.

The NFL has a problem with some of their players doing awful things but rather than have the endzones say "No more domestic violence" they have some generic token saying "end racism".

I think that most of us here understand that people are what they are. Simply, there are great people of every color and there are terrible people of every color.

There is a small portion of police officers that should not be in that profession. I know that for a fact as I've worked with many police officers, state troopers, VPSO's (Village Public Safety Officer) as a firefighter. But burning cities down under a banner of BLM and Antifa, kneeling during the national anthem, wearing pig socks, taping the names of debauched people to helmets etc. is hardly a way of dealing with that issue.
Defunding the police is absurd.
Better training for police officers and more awareness from the public is where we need to start.

There is racism, SaintFan. You and I have no idea if the officer shooting Blake was an actual racist or a cop pissed off by a terrible person resisting arrest. My point is that the Saints were stupid for putting that man's name on their helmets before getting the facts.

I really wish the BLM crowd was interested in fact checking before they start rioting.

Hell, they still run around chanting "hands up don't shoot" even though the evidence shows the Fergusson narrative was a lie.

I recall they didn't wait on the facts before they rioted after the Sacramento shooting. If they had, they would know that was most likely a case of suicide by cop.

As far as I know there is still no evidence that the George Floyd killing was the result of racial animus.

Nor is there evidence that the officers in the Blake shooting were motivated by race - as opposed to a desire to make it home alive at the end of the shift.

The most ridiculous example was probably the Rayshard shooting.

Rather than race, the common thread in all of those encounters was that the suspect was either on parole or had warrants out.

Any LEO can tell you when someone has the "I'm not going back to prison" mentality, bad things tend to happen very quickly.

Wasn’t he the same young man who made a stir a month ago, roughly, while at a large party, supposed to have been in an NFL “bubble” and then tried to jump from a balcony in order to avoid being caught? Name seems familiar, but I could be wrong.

Sad, regardless of it’s him, or not, I hope the young man figures things out soon.
