NFL endorses criminal-justice reform bill in the midst of anthem debate
Quote:
Goodell's winking and nodding at the kneeling players will probably just encourage them to take it further, not make them respect the country again. The NFL will not be better off for bowing to them. Look at Mizzou. The NFL doesn't seem to understand what's happening here at all. Fans do not want the NFL to be political. Fans are not going to be amused by Roger Goodell wading into politics. ESPN has already made this mistake by becoming another politicized media outlet... it's fascinating that Goodell thinks the way to resolve the fan ire over this conflict is to make the NFL more political. |

I'm surprised he hasn't thrown in a couple "But Obama's" already. My reaction to him is....well, to quote one of the great intellectuals of our time "Homey don't play that shit"

The way I understood it, the purpose of this meeting was to try and find some sort of compromise, that while not completely satisfying everyone, would at least try to address some of everyones concerns
Doesnt look like that happened at all Not only will players be allowed to kneel, but now the NFL is going to become an official political lobbying organization for them... and everyone on the other side of this can pound sand |

Seems his, and possibly your, view of drug dealers is basically the cartel and crack, heroin and meth dealers shooting up corners for territory. But probably the vast majority of them aren't dealing hard, life-ruining drugs or out there killing people.
People like to alter their state of mind. These dealers aren't putting a gun to people's heads and making them buy. Why is the dude who's selling a little weed a shitty person? And on topic, haven't you admitted to popping pills while you drink? |

I've admitted to nothing, that would imply I did something wrong. I've certainly enjoyed half a perc, gained by legal prescription, with a few cocktails in the water with a lady friend a time or three.

i was just being vexatious to prove a point that sometimes laws are silly, have no victim, and can be broken without intent. I in no way actually meant you were a criminal.
there are laws in some states that address misuse of prescription medications as an offense. |

The way our legal system is set up a person without means would end up paying dearly for the same 'crime'. This system is set up to profit from those without the ability to get the same treatment. And it keeps them in the system for years and years all the while pointing to them as evidence that it's working.
