EnigmaticWorld Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) 7 minutes ago, Given To Fly said: that's fair enough but it isn't necessarily the 'best man for the job'. i think that's where the NFL 'rooney rule' should make a distinction. it's not a family member who is a dufus should get the opportunity but take into the equation that there is a non-white person who is better qualified to get that opportunity rather than as this rule espouses a black dufus getting an opportunity. Yeah I'm more talking about big businesses when I talk about meritocracy. In regards to small business hiring practices, it could be argued that people work better together with those that they're close to, although I don't have the stats to back that up. There are plenty of small businesses that have survived generations because the family name wants to keep a good reputation for having a good service or product.

They lost me when they started doing things like punishing a player for writing a memorial message to his dead father on his shoe, or another guy remembering his father by writing "Iron" and "Head" on his blackout tape in honour of his father "Iron Head" Hayward. The NFL is now all about protecting its brand at all cost. It's not about anything anymore except NFL corporate money and political correctness. what gets my goat is how the then san francisco 49er quarterback colin kaepernick was treated. he, rightfully (imo), peacefully kneeled during the US anthem over this issue years ago and was totally ostracised for it. it seems that there is no middle ground for some people in regards how to protest. i mean he was called a traitor and got all sorts of abuse. even from trump. for peacefully kneeling.

Not sure about Kaepernick, but a lot of the time it's the hypocrisy that people can't stand. LeBron James was slagging America off for example, but then started dickriding China. Anyone with a brain will see that and think it's just an anti-American agenda as he is willing to keep quiet about injustice by the CCP.

Given To Fly Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) i'm watching the NFL programme pro-football talk on sky sports action now. the first segment here is absolutely dedicated to wanting change and system reform, just as it was yesterday. it is OTT. it's very rational though. but this 'reform' that is being propagated will it not at least make police more accountable and not bash skulls in any future incident and protests ?

Hard to say without knowing how they will reform. It could also just create more red tape so honest police can't police properly because of political correctness if they become like the UK. If it's anything like Michael wants then it could just be an attack on white people in the police. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a fan of the American government, but I don't agree with taking things out on white Americans. I hate what my country did to you guys in Ireland, but I don't think that English people today that had nothing to do with it should get the blame. Although I would personally help the Irish to have a future where they can control their own destiny if I could. You're still my European brothers and sisters, and many in these isles have a mix of Irish and English blood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have told you before, but I had an Irish step-grandparent that suffered in the troubles and some of his stories used to make me very upset as a child.

I'd thought he was feeling his neck for a pulse, but that slowed down close-up is interesting. The other thing is, the group of calm, balanced looking guards who were preparing for the rioters' arrival - one of those (the one with in a mask) was wearing the 'Punisher' emblem.

EnigmaticWorld Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 George Floyd death: Pope condemns US violence and prays for those suffering from ‘sin of racism’ “My friends, we cannot tolerate or turn a blind eye to racism and exclusion in any form and yet claim to defend the sacredness of every human life,” Francis said. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/pope-francis-george-floyd-us-protests-racism-comments-trump-a9546346.html But I guess it's okay when white folks are excluded and made to feel guilty because of the colour of their skin, Mr lizard man?
