Just Lost All Respect For Myles Garrett

[dantheman4248]

There is no alternate route.

There are two parties in our system. That means the dregs of society also have to support one of these two parties. There are plenty of scum that support the right, and plenty who support the left.

MAGA is not some magical dog whistle to the alt right. It's a slogan. It's about creating jobs, securing our border, and bringing back american prosperity. Sore losers who are triggered by an opposing view tried to make it into something more, and a few weak minded imbeciles fell for it. It's a cheap talking point created as a red herring by those who know they can't win a debate on policy. Nothing more.

No. You're being willfully ignorant about how society works. It's sad because you even laid out my reasoning for me. There's plenty of people who fall for that "red herring." How many of them fit the criteria of people who can't win a debate on policy do you think play for the Steelers? Seems like football and understanding politics don't have a ton of overlap. So with that, why would you open the door for those idiots to cause unrest in the lockerroom and create a divide much like what's going on in America. Seems like it makes your job as the leader of the team harder. Seems like... a poor judgment.

What's ridiculous is all the people here trying to make this about politics when my only point on him is that it's stupid to bring politics to the table as a leader who needs people to like and respect him when you don't have to.

Well my other point is that this isn't worse than racism. Not by a long shot.

Honestly, I don't think you have a point.

You're blaming Mason for Garrett's assault on him without having any facts other than , muh MAGA!

What's sad is your lack of cognitive abilities.

No i'm not. You literally didn't comprehend any of what I said. No wonder you think I'm dumb, you just read that comment and created a whole new thing. I've said in this thread that I don't believe Mason is racist and that Myles shouldn't be excused. How you have now flipped that around to thinking I said those things shows the mental gymnastics you're wanting to pull.

[Westdawg]

Well,
Here's what we do know. The league has mics in every QBs helmet now. I would just about guarantee that the league already played back every possible recording from the field when those players were out there at the same time. That's why the league has already openly stated there was no merit to the accusation from Garrett about Rudolph making that statement

[OLJWales]

Myles is pulling the same shit that actor dude did in Chicago who said MAGA hat wearing necks strung him up and hurled racial insults. If you listen to them, they still live in the 50's & 60's. It's their only sustenance . Gets a free pass every time.

Oh, I got you. It's just ignorant and false. He has the audacity to not hide his political beliefs, so he's automatically stupid enough to call someone the N-word.

I got news for you dude, you're the one being racist here. You assume things about his teammates because of their skin color. That's the very definition of racism. Guess what? Several of my black coworkers sport Trump bumper stickers.

I get that you are trying to pretend like you have some sort of inside knowledge of what's going on here, but reality is you're just totally full of crap all the way around. And this is my last comment on the matter. I was raised not to argue with fools.

[MagicDawg]

That's mighty white of you. Also Pouncey's brother sided with Richie Incognito over Johnathan Martin (which was a white man calling a colored teammate the N word.

Most people I know expected this to come out. Shocked Garrett didn't do it immediately but figured he didn't want to make it a race thing. He only submitted it in the appeal hoping it would help him and not make it a whole public thing about race. Rudolph is definitely the type to do it too.

Your first sentence is racist.
Your subsequent post is racist.
Thanks for making it clear what you are. You remind me of a great exchange.
Person A: "Why do people instantly hate me?"
Person B: "It saves time."

Cheers.

In today's world, fake racism is worse than actual racism because fake racism shoots out false narratives that causes us to focus on lies than the truth. The 50's and 60's have left the room thankfully. Too bad too many people still revel in the past.

[Liverpooldawg]

It doesn't excuse it, but you've watched too much of the wrong football to think he should never play again.

He committed assault with a deadly weapon on the football field. He should be kicked out of the league and prosecuted.

[bulldogcountry1]

Ahhhh. They have audio recorder from the sideline. Just check the tape.

Exactly. There?s microphones everywhere. It would be pretty easy to review the footage. It?s almost necessary with a claim like this.

I'm racist for saying it's smart not to rock the boat on a matter that affects football skills 0? Idk anything about his teammates. Hell people of all colors on the left could tweak out and lead that political divide I'm referencing. I'm not saying only black people could do it. I'm not saying only white people could do it. You don't know who could so it's better to leave politics at the door. It's the same type of shit that has Kaepernick out of the league.

And as for arguing with fools, hope you never have to argue with your wife.

You can stretch and call the first sentence racist if you look beyond the fact that it's a cleaned up Samuel L. Jackson quote. Calling the rest racist shows me you just have a persecution complex.

But if it's a racist statement, so be it. It's a fact. It's a very white thing to think that being accused of being a racist is worse than dealing with racism. And it's a white thing because white people in this country have not really dealt with actual, institutional racism (affirmative action does not count). If you can't learn to empathize with someone of a different background than you, then I don't know what to tell you.

That?s mighty black of you.

[MagicDawg]

It is ignorant to assume that because I can recognize your racism, I'm unable to empathize with people of a different background. It is patently absurd.

The number of racist assumptions in your posts have paved your way to my ignore list. Cheers.

[OLJWales]

Myles pulls a piece of shit barbaric move on the football field and uses fake racism to back up his neanderthal antics. It's not that hard to understand. Really easy for those who think. What's sad is that's the narrative due to the QB not getting killed. He could easily be dead or paralyzed from the neck down in a coma. Luckily the bottom end of the helmet caught him not too flush.

But yea, keep on thinking this QB whose been playing in a diverse sport for around 15-16 years slings "N Bombs". Yea, right.

[Liverpooldawg]

The racism stuff doesn't matter. If Garret was called the vilest racist stuff you can imagine it still doesn't excuse what he did. Many years ago there was a HS kid at one of the schools in this region had that same thing happen to him. He got hit upside the head with a helmet during an on the field brawl. He spent several weeks in the hospital. He wasn't expected to make a full recovery. Fortunately he did. That just can't be allowed to happen. It's beyond the pale.

[dantheman4248]

That?s mighty black of you.

That's interesting because I'm white.

And before the inevitable "self-hating liberal" comment comes, I voted for the republican candidate last ticket.

It really shows who here could survive outside this state. Your heads would explode from
hearing someone have a different take.

I don't think you even know what racism is at this point. You're just saying it as a buzzword at this point.

I mean Mason pulled one as well. Let's not act like trying to twist someone's neck isn't complete bullshit either. Myles came out and said he didn't want it to excuse his action and expected confidentiality in that meeting. He kept his mouth shut about it because he specifically didn't want it to be a racial thing.

I think Myles actually realizes more than anyone else here that something like that in the heat of the moment in such a violent sport, something stupid gets said that you don't mean. From what I've gathered reading it was him explaining how the events went and hoping whoever heard the appeal understands that a lot of is just the nature of the beast.

Also how many times in the last 15-16 years have you seen a QB in a fight?

Just trying it on for size. I could care less about your senseless mumbling about how terrible society is for some who refuse to take ownership for their personal situation. Because it?s always someone else?s fault. Isn?t it?
