A) We scored 28 this year
B) Our 93 points we have scored this season has already exceeded last season's total even after the loss of a 3-star signee to Nebraska. This was a total rebuild job and we are making progress. Starting alot of freshmen and sophs in a good league while installing a new offense takes time right- ala Leach in 2020?
anyone know if this is an actual flip or if UF let him go and we picked him up?
No one is saying you can't legally say things. We're saying that the board legally doesn't have to host / platform them. It's not "cancel culture"; it's freedom of speech. Your rights ends where another's begins. Twitter doesn't have to give you a platform. Elitedawgs doesn't have to give him a platform. That's how the first amendment works.
Not arguing that point and don't wanna get in a political debate. With Elitedawgs ... it is privately owned so yes ... they don't have to give you a platform and can pretty much ban you for anything really. BUT ... they could be sued just like the Mom & Pop bakery that don't believe in gay marriage and won't sell a wedding cake to a gay couple, which might put them outta business defending the suit, just like the Mom & Pop shop.
I disagree on Twitter cause it's publicly owned with shareholders from around the world and such and if they wanna set some ground rules that's ok .. as long as they enforce them equally across the board, which Twitter doesn't.
Using your argument would mean they could also discriminate based on whatever they want to, including race, gender, sex orientation or whatnot ... which will happen in the not so distant future. Now I know you will say "but there are laws in place for that" which is true. And some of those laws violate the Constitution itself.
By the end of the decade these huge corporations will consolidate more and more and will eventually be usurping the Constitution thru their rules and policies. Since everyone will be reliant on them for everything (jobs, food, clothing, housing, banking etc.) they'll be able to arbitrarily destroy people's lives or shut off their bank accounts if they don't conform to their ways of thinking or if they say benign, but "offensive" things. So much for the "diversity" they push now cause then everyone will have to conform, which ain't "diversity". Orwell ... we have arrived.
Now I really don't wanna get into a political debate about all of this and people can disagree with me, laugh at me, scoff at what I say, or whatever. I've done deep research going back for over a hundred years and I know who owns what at the very, very top of the world, and can prove it. But not going to and just gonna let it all play out one way or the other. IMO ... it ain't looking to rosy going forward right now.
The whole point was the allowance of offensive speech (i.e. free speech). Hollering "racism" at the drop of a hat about every trivial thing does get a little old to me.
ETA: I also thought the whole thing was more about BSD not liking C34 than anything else really.
Well, this thread has headed downhill since the first page !!
If a State fan was a thread this thread would be it. A thread about flipping a 4 star recruit very quickly becomes a thread to insult that very recruit! Claps all around! Lol
P.S. Tater I agree with most of what you say but please know our rights end with the constitution not someones feelings.
It's no one's feelings on the matter. It's simply a matter of fact that you can say what you want, but no one else has to host / platform what you say. That's that.
And 166, let's just respectfully disagree on a publicly traded company being beholden to different standards than citizens. Citizens United had our idiot Supreme Court decide businesses are people too.
If anyone wants to discuss further, my DMs are open. I'm not responding to anything else that isn't praising this kid for making the best decision of his life on this thread and it's best if we all move forward in the same manner.
It's ok that there are some general differences in people, it makes things interesting. There are not many black hockey players, or Asian olympic lifters, or Middle-Eastern NASCAR drivers, or Latino track and field guys. If there was a Samoan guy in the NBA slam-dunk competition people would notice, but if he was playing rugby no one would think twice. People know who Matthew Boling is because he is a white guy that ran a 9.98 100m.
I mean, if I'm drafting a curling team it will predominantly be Scandinavian women.
It is ok to notice that people are predisposed to be good at different things. What is not ok is prejudging their ability based on that criteria alone.
