    Default The cult of “anti racism” has fully taken over the NFL

    We have lost another sport. Cancel culture is in full swing in the National Football League.

    Well at least we have books… until they start burning them again…

    I agree. Powerful and well paid men (especially if they are white) should be exempt to say and do whatever the hell they want to do to whom ever they choose with absolutely no repercussions. What's the world coming to?

    That said, even though I was white and male, I was told early in my career with a rather large German company to never put an email out there or record a voice mail that I wouldn't want to show up on the front page of the New York Times. That was in the 1980's, so perhap the counter culture is older than you think.

    Weren’t you the one who said, “ So we live peacefully in our system with one another unless it is at odds with the King of Kings.” And wished a member a “blessed day”? Is there a little cognitive dissonance going on? Lol! 😂😂

    What a profoundly uninformed and dumb opinion. He voluntarily resigned.
    For me--a wimpy gay homosexual fairie faggot who has always been confused and annoyed by the game--it validated a lot of my suspicions about many of the people involved. There's another profoundly uninformed and dumb opinion to follow the trend!

    What this thread and the OP reveal is the common existence today of religious people who quote the Bible, yet fail to follow the clear teachings of treating others as you would have them treat you.

    Perhaps the problem is that some gatherings are more entertaining that informative. How else could Paul White and Franklin Graham endorse those who are as foreign to Jesus as one could be.

    Don’t tithe, it was a mid 1800’s construct.

    How to handle such ignorance is beyond me.

    Bold2013, if it makes you feel any better, I'm sure that racism is still alive and well in the NFL. Gruden's comments (racist and homophobic and misogynist) are simply another indication that the pernicious attitudes still swim strong under the surface (mostly under) of the water.

    Football is bigger than an overblown ego. Don't worry, it is here to stay as long as highly talented athletes, who can do nothing else, are willing to suffer irrepairable damage physically for large sums of money.

    Should we speculate what an examination of the texts and emails of the performers chosen for the Super Bowl half-time show would reveal?

    Good riddance. Yank football is a militaristic, corporate bore.

    Soccer football is a better game and so is rugby (Go All Blacks!)

    American football isn't a "bore," but it is certainly militaristic and corporate. Can't disagree there. And we could easily do without it.

    Funny. Just finishing up one of my sociology major papers and part of it touched on the Great Sports Myth.

    Hell yes. I’m for full disclosure.

    It seems that Gruden has been spewing foul, abusive, mean e-mails for quite a while, while his players, colleagues, and owners kept mum.

    If he uses that tone in messages, can you imagine what he says face-to-face? I feel sorry for his players and co-workers having to absorb that extreme of abuse.

    Maybe he can get hired in Texas.

    Obviously his emails contain inappropriate/offensive language. My issue is some of it was misconstrued and that after he had sincerely apologized and acknowledged his wrong doing there was no ‘grace’ for him.

    Misconstrued? Seriously? He just got caught.
