"You better tuck that thing in, you'll get it caught on a trip wire." -Drill Sergeant (Forrest Gump)


Imagine this movie coming out in today's society. Actually that has me wondering if they cut that scene when it shows on TV broadcasts.

Gruden should know better than to say something like that. Not nice.

Interesting.....do the Fade use this as an excuse to drop the ridiculous Gruden contract, because if they don't, he'll likely go the full 10....

Of course, that assumes there isn't anything more, which tends to be what happens in the cancel culture. If this is only an isolated incident, then likely the Fade keep this in house (unless they really do want to dump that contract), but perhaps we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg....

In the 80s, as a teenager, I often pondered what would bring about the demise of our society.

Nuclear war? Aids? Bird Flu? Acid rain?

Nope.

Words.

At least his contract is fully guaranteed.

Is it the words or the Karens trying to turn those words into something its not and now all of a sudden its national news and the only thing being talked about for weeks? Because I bet if you removed the Karens, the words, especially the ones in this "extreme display of racism", wouldn't be given an initial thought.

no

Karens aren't the ones doing the cancelling.

words are the most dangerous and lethal thing we have on the planet right now (demonstrated by the emergency-response actions that follow them).

100% disagree.

Cancel culture is a chain reaction that starts with the wave of Karens trying to make anything and everything turn into a race argument. The cancelling is a PR reaction.

This story is ****ing 10 years old. It's nothing. It's only something because the public finally caught wind of it and its spreading like wild fire and a man has his job at risk for something no one gave a shit about 10 years ago.

Agree to disagree. And LOL at what you consider to be the root of who makes everything about race.

Have no idea where you got that from, but Godspeed.

So let me get this straight...

In this specific case, you believe a man is potentially going to lose his job because of his words? Words he wrote 10 years ago. Words he wrote before he landed a $100M job. Those words?

I stayed up till 3am last nite worrying about this story.

Just couldn’t get to sleep.

Potentially, yes.

Why did Kevin Hart get fired from hosting the Oscars (and plenty other examples)?

Certainly wasnt "Karens" (unless your definition of "Karen" is way broader than most, which is fine).

You need to watch Chapelle's recent netflix special. He covers this quite well.

Lots of examples to be found. Even recent prime time favorites aren’t exempt. They are now editing some of Michael Scott’s iconic lines out of “The Office“ reruns. :shake:

Gruden will do that himself brah

Indeed my definition of a Karen is broader than just a white blonde using her race as entitlement. Black people use their race as entitlement as well. Anyone, no matter which race, who screams racism for a reaction is a ****ing Karen in my book.

then your comments make much more sense now. thanks for clarifying.

Lieutenant Dang said that, sir.

I don't give two shits about Gruden, but if thats a fireable offense **** the NFL

My yahoo scroll over coffee this morning was chock full of sports sites drumming this up for clicks, its a pathetic statement on the state of "journalism" in this country, IMO

Dirty laundry, indeed

I don't know how much more stupid someone can get than what you've posted.

People point out racism SO THAT IT CAN STOP.
NOT, for simply a reaction.
But your dopey ass thinks you can be the diviner of what is an acceptable amount of racism that society should live with?
What, you that short of jokes?
Or can't find something else less than clever to say?

So many ****ing stupid people who want to hold on to the right to be an asshole.....
And why?
Because they know that's they're defining quality.
You've got nothing else to stand up on without it right?

If it wasn't so necessary for y'all to hang on to, then you wouldn't be so mad at the notion you'd have to stop.

Losers.

Calling someone dumb with big lips is racist?

Calm down, Karen. Slavery ended 155 years ago. Be happy.

Wow, nice car in 1870.

How do they expect a fat person to fit through those doors? I demand justice!

So I assume those frothing about someone kneeling during the national anthem are Karens too right?
You good for a flag burning by any chance?

Pretty close.

The kneeling for a black man who was also a criminal getting shot by the police in the middle of their attempts at resisting arrest is pretty ****ing Karenesque. It's also pretty ironic coming from a bunch of guys making million dollar salaries living in their gated white communities.

No.

Those having an apoplectic fit at seeing someone kneeling during the anthem, for whatever ****ing reason, are the Karens.

You know, the one's making more of something than is intended?
Like you are suggesting about those who call out racist behavior you want to hold on to?

I'm not having a fit. I dont care if someone kneels or stands for the anthem. That's their right. But dont sit there and act like you dont know why or what started them kneeling for the anthem as if they arent trying to send some message that doesnt have any factual meaning, they just aren't screaming and burning down cities.

So cracking on someones looks is now equivalent to Jim Crow type racism?

Have you never made fun of another black guys looks?

You're just looking to be outraged

Sadly, this car was lynched soon after this photo was taken for no more reason than the color of its paint and its plump, rubbery tires.

This thread needs to be taken out back and shot.

He's THE perfect example of a beta-male Karen just looking to be outraged over any and everything he wants to perceive as racism.

Well I think the only correct punishment here is to force them to trade Waller to us for a conditional 7th round draft. That'll make sure that he and the Raiders have learned their lesson.




:D

Corn has entered the shat

"Dumborris Smith" actually gave me a good laugh. Too many thin-skinned pusscakes in this country.

Be careful insulting this guy. I heard he knows a guy that once had an exclusive membership at Gold’s Gym. By exclusive, I mean the guy had a credit card when he signed up.

Well, slavery ended in America 155 years ago.

There are still slaves in Africa and the Middle East, but that's none of my business...

They dont want to know where it started or who was selling.

I don't buy that shit at all. The Middle East is predominantly Islamic, and Islam is the religion of peace.

?... :bolt:

“ Human trafficking is a modern form of slavery. It is an extreme form of labor exploitation where women, men and children are recruited or obtained and then forced to labor against their will through force, fraud or coercion. Trafficking victims are often lured by false promises of decent jobs and better lives.”

Well looks like the vote to retain Demaurice Smith was successful. The fact that this story came out the right before the vote is just pure coincidence. We were about to vote our brother out but now we stand with him in solidarity. Guy got the lowest possible amount of votes to retain his job and told the voters that he would step down after this term.

This whole Gruden story stinks.

It doesn't stink like Urban Meyer's fingers.

Speaking of someone else who's grateful about the Gruden story...

I wonder what the vulgar comment he made about Goodell was.

Meh, once you hit high school or so, name-calling looses its appeal as a comedic device.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">The NFL sent the Raiders additional Jon Gruden emails to review on top of the negative one that surfaced last week and, per sources around the league, the NFL is actively monitoring the situation and waiting to see how the team will handle the matter.</p>&mdash; Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) <a href="https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1447684688710144000?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 11, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

So, to be clear: Gruden wrote something in an email over 10 years ago that was unflattering to Demaurice Smith, so because Smith is not white Gruden must pay with his job.

But the NFL doesn't have a problem with allowing known domestic abusers to play (a la Greg Hardy/A. Brown/etc.) . . . because why again?

Double standards, baby.

The guys you put in your example lost their jobs too, though. Not sure where you're going with this?

What's your point? I can give you the definition of starvation too, doesn't mean it occurs with any practical frequency in the United States. Do you know how many people went missing in the USA in 2018? -3000. They found 3000 more people than went missing. The total amount of people missing from ALL TIME in the USA is 85,000.

As far as importing them in from other countries? Welp, your own quote indicating they are "lured by false promises of decent jobs and better lives" kinda covers that one. The sex workers in the Kraft case are a fine example - listed as "sex trafficking victims" despite direct evidence they were free to come and go and their own direct testimony that they were not being held against their will whatsoever.

Now, does that mean that someone being held against their will and trafficked for forced sexual activity never happens? Of course not. And certainly it can and should be eliminated wherever found, just like murder, rape, or other heinous crimes. For what it's worth, happens primarily in California. But it's neither legal nor common and claims far fewer victims each year than suicide, overdoses, car accidents, you name it, even by the most aggressive measurements possible, which would put it somewhere around 2000 incidents per year in the USA as a whole. Just saying.

Really milking it now.

His first statement on the matter was full of phony, pompous indignation and this one is no better... yeah he's milking it hard, no question

The whole situation perfectly encapsulates whats wrong with this nation right now... trying to drum up some minor slight from 11 years ago, with the hope of costing someone their job

Smith is a snowflake pussy

ROFL
Of course you don't. Eyes wide shut, again.

The entire world. This kinda shit is all that matters these days.

NFL probably welcomes it with open arms. WFT was just raided by the DEA last week and nobody has said shit. This is a nice little distraction.

Because I presented facts? The Panthers cut Hardy and the Patriots absolutely releasd Brown.

How are your examples useful?

Oh Dumboriss Smith, read my Michelin tire sized lips

Right? haven't heard a peep about that story since the day the news broke

This is all being brought up because Smith was on his way out with the NFLPA. Throwing the race card out to keep his job.

Raiders Coach’s Emails Included Homophobic and Misogynistic Comments

LMAO that's the big bombshell?

The Raiders have to fire him those maybe worse than the first email especially with a openely gay player on his team. How can you lead a team now?

Hahaha he's ****ed but I love the fact he called Goodell a pillowbiter.

Latest emails are from 2018.

Davis is going to end up paying this guy that 100M after firing him. What a ridiculous contract. LMAO

Won't be surprised if he isn't fired by tomorrow.

Let’s be clear. This isn’t as simple as being thin skinned. It’s actively using one’s skin color as a cover for any criticism or insults. It’s intentional, manipulative, and all too common.

No offense, but when you find news like this indulge us and take the extra step to find a source other than the NYT.

Not that it's outright false, or that we're doubting the accuracy even, necessarily. Just that a world with less references to and traffic around that odious institution is an improved world.

Yeesh.

So the NFL is blackmailing the Raiders?

and he's resigning

He’s resigned

hahaahha. Eat it Faid

That didn't take long. LMAO

The guy is scumbag

He gone.

Damnt. I wanted him to stay because he sucks.

So he's going to resign and pass up the tens of millions? No way.

If that leak of the NFL basically blackmailing the Raiders is to be believed, I was kind of hoping it kept going for a little bit to see who they dont want anyone to know already saw those emails.

Told ya.

We just need to take care of LAC now.

Oh don't worry Mayock and Harry Dunne won't get a hire right.

Irony. The Color Analyst gets fired for racist tropes.

My guess is that the NFL has something way worse that they aren’t releasing. Notice, these got progressively worse.

From just an implied racist-ish message to an explicit use of a word that is widely unacceptable as anti-gay.

They probably made a deal with him. Resign and we won’t release the rest.

In a shocking discovery, Jon Gruden is found to be exactly the type of guy you kinda figured him to be
