BROWNS OFF-SEASON 2020

Just because LeBron has been called other things by the media does not excuse the times in which he's stereotyped based on his case. Once again, you're deflecting from these to tell me about other times when he was not racially stereotyped. That's not how this works...

You're moving the goalposts again here and its incredibly disingenuous, considering that he and the NBA are in the midst of trying to be cancelled for his comments on China. Also disingenuous is you singling out The Decision as criticism he's faced that wasn't racially motivated. Its clearly a Red Herring.

This is multiple fallacy arguments in a political context that have absolutely nothing to do with this argument about OBJ being taken out of context.

Among the various racist stereotypes piled on LeBron:

“LeBron James’ mom did not practice birth control”

"Shut up and dribble"

He's gotten the same "diva" treatment and such, even after his home was defaced with a racial slur.






Diva is a racist stereotype of wide receivers in the NFL. Not a racist term without that context.




Brees' comments were not taken out of context, they cause quite an uproar from his own teammates and NFL colleagues as being well out of touch with the purpose of the protests, and they were right.

Not only were they right, but Brees had the balls to go dialogue with them and then acknowledged his mistake.




Good, he deserves it for standing up for his beliefs, especially after he was cancelled for it.

Driven out of the league for protesting, after which the media lied about his intent for protesting, allowed bad faith actors to report that his protests were about the military, the flag, anti-America, et al...

Completely disingenuous and the NFL SHOULD do quite a bit more to rectify his mistake.




Drew Brees was wrong, admitted it, and apologized. Can we cease with the hyperbole?

Colin Kaepernick was free to protest as he pleased, in a non-violent way, and they cancelled him.

Drew Brees will be the starting QB of a Super Bowl contender, make $20+ million this year and has his reputation and his checkbook firmly intact. Oh, and good luck having a Black athlete get away with his close ties to religious extremists and the anti-LGBTQ movement...

Kaepernick is out of the league despite having 80% of his seasons with a QB rating of 85 or better.

And I'm supposed to believe that its Kaepernick, not Brees, who is getting preferential treatment?


C'mon ...

Glad you're being lenient. I've always thought the idea that we can't even discuss politics at all is a little ridiculous when they're so entwined in every aspect of our daily lives, especially right now with everything that's happening.

I do get the need to curtail the conversation when it starts to get personal, though.

Agreed (that it's a grey area), that's why I didn't delete any posts. They actually spent a good bit of time on them, and they were civil about it.

I was most upset they buried my post about Billings opting out. I was excited to be the first to break some news around here.

But this site has made me think about where I stand on a lot of stuff over the years, and actually proven me wrong at certain times. I appreciate differing opinions as long as it doesn't get aggressive or personal.
