And Now It's Reggie Bush's Turn With The Inquisition

I try to tell my kids that it's ok to speak up when an injustice is occurring (but to have situational awareness for one's safety in terms of physical or amount of unwanted attention you bring on yourself. so, consider actions/word choices carefully). But, when someone is in trouble (and deservedly so), you probably don't want to speak up and bring the attention on yourself.

"I try not to leave bruises."

On a one-year old!!!!

And people on this board are defending this stuff.

WOW.

No one on the board is really defending Bush, they're just saying they (or the public) are growing bored, and want to talk about something else.

Let's make this an Amendola thread.

Hence, they have ultimately become irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. A "boy cried wolf" syndrome, if you will.



No one here is saying that the media attention and condemnation of Rice and Peterson is undeserved. The problem is that in the days since the Peterson revelations, it seems the reports are coming fast and furious, and, especially in the case of Bush, what exactly he has even done, if anything at all, isn't clear. My contention is that the constant barrage of reports, when even the slightest of hints of misbehavior are being reported and included in the sweep, is causing this to become noise.

In the intel community, it's called "dazzling". All of the ******** reports are obscuring the serious reports from being scrutinized properly. And because the general public doesn't have a mission to get to the bottom of this, they're just going to ignore it before long. It's too much.

I don't see how that's unreasonable.

Didn't bush say he takes care to not leave bruises on a ONE YEAR OLD?
You see nothing wrong with that?
I see a lot wrong with that and I certainly hope he is investigated.

I already said above that he's an idiot for saying it. I don't know how criticizing the media coverage means endorsement of child abuse.

If he is abusing his one year old, throw him to the wolves...isn't that common sense?

Its not a matter of him being smart or stupid for saying it, its a matter of it being a heinous act, that you seem to want to sweep under the carpet. This is potentially just as bad as the Peterson incident, if not worse, because the child is just one year old.
I am glad it is being reported, because a man who admits to being careful not to bruise a one year old at the very least needs the attention of child welfare services. His 'clarification' was the he is in favor of spanking a one year old. By any measure that is wrong.

Oh please, tilt at windmills elsewhere...

Why are people defending hitting a one year old hard enough that it takes effort to make sure you don't leave scars? This is really odd.

So I will chalk you up as being OK with 'disciplining' a one year old as physically as you wish as long as you hit them in spots that won't leave marks?

SJWs suck - you'll get no argument from me there. But they suck because when they aren't inventing imaginary problems (all these microaggressions, I can't handle them!), they're co-opting real problems and pretending that they apply to them (everything in the world 'triggers' them, as if it's possible to get PTSD because someone said a mean thing to you).

Beating your one year old child isn't an imaginary problem. This isn't a SJW-invented issue.

I dunno what the result of this should be. It was stupid of Bush to say it, and if the child welfare investigation turns up nothing, then we can probably just conclude that he's a ****ing idiot for thinking that hitting a one year old would accomplish anything, but I dunno if that's worthy of a ban. But let's not pretend that hitting your one year old child is anything even close to acceptable or normal behavior.

Not one person in this thread has said that they're for beating the **** out of one year old children and, yes, this is a SJW-invented issue. It has been from the start, when they jumped on the Ray Rice situation.

If you think that this is an SJW-invented issue, then that by definition means that you think that it isn't a real issue. And since the issue is beating a one year old child... well, I'm sure you can do the math from there.

Last I checked no one invented the injuries to Petersons child, and given the fact that Bush VOLUNTEERED that he beats his one year old, but only enough to not leave bruises, how to you conclude that his issue is 'invented' by anyone?

I have to assume you're trolling with this. It's the only way it even remotely makes sense.


I'm not biting though, so have a good day.

Wow, just saw this on your edit. Do you think that was an SJW-invented issue too? Because last time I checked, knocking your wife unconscious was pretty universally regarded as a bad thing.

SJWs are doing really terrible stuff out in the world right now. From campaigning against fathers' custody rights, refusing to recognize that domestic abuse and rape actually are committed by women too and aren't just proof that men are inherently evil, all the way to redefining racism and sexism so that conveniently they'll always be the victim and never the perpetrator.

Example of why SJWs are hypocrites and don't actually care about their causes: where' the uproar over Hope Solo being allowed to play for Team USA after her recent domestic violence arrest (I believe she has multiple on her record)? Why isn't she getting the Adrian Peterson/Jonathan Dwyer treatment? Because SJWs don't actually care about the standards that they claim to uphold. All they care about is tearing the 'privileged' down.

That's why SJWs suck. Not because they have a problem with beating your one year old badly enough that you have to take special care not to leave marks, or because they think that knocking your wife out is a bad thing to do.

I wonder if he thinks they invented the knockout punch, or the opinion that it is wrong to knock out a woman?

The issue was manufactured, not the event. As has been pointed out a gazillion times, criminal behavior, including domestic violence, happens at a lower rate among NFL players than it does in the general population.

And SJWs suck for a whole host of reasons.

Reggie Bush is an idiot. You don't hit a 1 year old child. EVER. If you have to make an active effort to "not leave a bruise" then you shouldn't be hitting the child either.

This is NOT SJW stuff. This is a real social issue. Domestic Violence and Child Abuse have long been issues that have been prevalent in society, not just in the NFL.

That being said. Before others get on a high horse telling the NFL to take a "No Tolerance" policy with it, I think that they a bigger focus should be on every police department and military base across this country.
