I thought the goal was to "start a conversation?"

That's one of the more significant problems with the BLM movement. They don't want to hear your opinion.

What they want is to hear their opinion come out of your mouth.

I would much prefer that sports be a refuge from politics. IMO, it would be better for us all if that was the case.

But it's not, the athletes and now the leagues have gone all in. So, don't be surprised when people want to state opposing views where they can - in the case a message board. After all, the end zones and the courts are not open for all views.

Re: M Jenkins and Michael Thomas killed the Saints

There is another area of the site that you can freely speak your mind on politics but when I click on the Saints area I want to see what people think about the on field. I don’t come here to see people say I didn’t watch the game because of the political nature of the players and the league but act like they actually care. Most only come here to start dissection.

Everyone that came to this site has or had one thing in common, love for this team regardless of political affiliation, race or creed.

I wish we could go back to that...

Rez.....you're one of the most respectable people on this board. If being pro-American means being short-sighted and judgmental.....call me anti-American too, and piss on ya
What happened to you blocking me? Did you miss me?

I don't think you know what "hypocrisy" is. In order for e to be a hypocrite, my actions would have to my words. I'm not making sports political. The athletes have already done that. And when there is a discussion about that, sometimes I take part, sometimes I don't. If it's a topic that's relevant to me, I'm free to discuss as I wish. You can request the thread be moved to politics if it bothers you. That isn't my problem or my responsibility. This thread was about an article written about the Saints' destroying their team chemistry over politics. So if your little feelings can't take political discussion on this board, then you shouldn't have clicked on the thread after reading the headline. But you freely made the choice to enter.

Now, you'll just have to deal with it.

Speaking of being a hypocrite: "All of you just want to argue."... What do you think you're doing, pal? In reality, we were just discussing our opinions. When people like you show up, it becomes an argument. Because you're arguing. What's that saying? "It takes two to tango". If you don't like arguments then don't argue. Otherwise, you're a hypocrite.

And what I stated was more than an opinion. If you say patriotism is political, as if it's some divisive thing, then you're anti-American. Period. patriotism is about love of country. You don't have t love everything about your country. I certainly don't. But if you have a problem with patriotism, itself, then you hate your country. There's no grey in that area.

My fault for asking.

Although, I did, in fact, work for two summers during college at Louisiana Downs.

LOL!!

Yup. I worked in food service there actually for three summers. I forgot about that first year. Was only there for a month. I was a runner keeping the food stands stocked on the third floor the first year and changing out kegs. I was a floor walker (runner supervisor) on the third floor the next year and head floor walker year three. That final year (1980) was the first year of the Super Derby. Never came close to a horse then, but it was still interesting watching the people. Eddie Debartolo owned the track back then. He also owned the 49er's at the time. I now drive by that track all the time. Just about three miles up I-220 from our house. I saw an obituary from the man the ran the commissary (where all the food and beer was stocked) there in the Spring. He had to have been 90 when he died. I thought he was so old back then. LOL!

Sorry, but I never could moon walk. I've tried but can't get the moves down.
