Around the NFL: Training Camp edition

when i see people burning the american flag or anything of the sort, i immediately feel sorry for anyone who is rattled by it. don't let other people's actions get you so worked up. that's all they are trying to do, and they succeed.

"and what if somebody calls my mama a whore?"

"is she?"

I do not agree with that Kap did by not standing for our Anthem.
I went on the internet today and I was incredibly saddened by this:
Lead levels in Indiana town's yards 6 times higher than safe - CNN.com (http://www.cnn.com/2016/08/30/health/indiana-lead-contamination/index.html)
On the tails of the Flint Michigan lead poisoning in their water earlier this year.

Then there is Rapist Brock Turner getting released early from a ridiculously short prison term with no record for raping a female college student. Come to find out in the recent months there are four other white privileged men that raped unconscious women and also got away free: David Becker, John Enochs, Nicholas Fifield, Austin Wilkerson.
Then there is Levar Allen a 17 year old high school student (star athlete) who was sexted by a 16 year old female class mate. Levar did not initiate it. By the way Levar is black and his 16 year old classmate is white. Levar replied with his own sext. Big mistake.
Levar is arrested and charged with Child Pornography and Contributing to the Delinquency of a Juvenile, Levar will eventually have to register as a sex offender if found guilty. The other five above will not.
Then I get on this site and I see that a player not standing for the national anthem is dominating the news. Not these other more important stories.
I think I see why people like Colin Kapernick gets upset at the injustices that still exist in our country against people of low income.
You just have to open your eyes and look at it from a different perspective.
I wonder if the wounded hero in the pitcure above and his fellow hero's are being treated better/well at the VA hospitals? Oh wait....is that unAmerican of me to ask that?

But this a football site and it is the biggest story in Football this week. Sure the topics u brought up are bigger issues but they don't relate to football, you know the topic of this Web site.

For what it is worth ...just remember there are a LOT of folks who find the REDSKINS name offensive and protest against that.........................my point is very simple...there will ALWAYS be something to protest ..

i would find whiteskins offensive, but you wouldn't hear me talk much about it.

Yep. Mostly white columnists with degrees from Ivy League schools.

I haven't posted on this site for a long time but continue to follow the Redskins and discussions here.

This image compelled me to respond and it evoked much emotion and I thank you for providing it!

My oldest son is a Marine and he absolutely shares the message on this photo with anyone that will listen. I just worry where our Country's values are headed.

Semper Fi

I agree with you. My two son in laws are in the service ,one is a Staff Sargent in the Marines and the other a Staff Sargent in the Army both big football fans !Funny thing is they both said the same thing ...he is ignorant about what he is protesting.
As for the country's "values"I kind of liken it to the late 60's and very early 70's(yeah I'm old).If there had been internet back then it would be exactly the same as it is now.You had TV,Radio and Newspapers ....nothing else and they were law if you read it , saw it or heard it it had to be true.No email scandels or twitter accounts to be hacked people made phone calls and wrote letters.I think all the values are still there just now with the internet we are bombarded with all opinions all the time.

Disgusting.
I just can't understand how this can happen.

Sorry guys I accidentally deleted the Kaepernick thread, fucking tapatalk, if anyone wants to start up another thread feel free.

Shoulda just let that one die.

I don't come on here for political discussion.

So the Rams gave up all those draft picks for Goff, and apparently he can't even make 2nd string. LOL. I was listening to the radio today and they were saying that he can't call out the protections, his footwork sucks, he can't get under center and he's having trouble spitting out the plays in the huddle.

It's way too early to call him a bust, but you'd figure the 1st pick in the draft could at least make 2nd string.

Definitely not a good start for Goff when the first overall pick is going to be running the scout team.
