All speech is not protected. Libel is not protected speech. The attorneys should know better.

I don't know, mg, I think a mods time would be better spent locking down what has devolved into a rather nasty and inflammatory non football related thread or moving it to the pub where those interested could continue to rail on in relative obscurity, rather than fueling this discussion by posting legal definitions from a freakin' internet dictionary...but that could just be me.

I was hoping that this thread would have gone away by now. But it's still the 3rd thread on the main forum.

I think that it would be a good time for a mod, on this forum, to send it away.

IMO he is a racist. And an idiot to boot.

J D Sal

Why? because he said something negative about the football skills of a man who happens to be black while Fred is caucasion. Come up with a little proof before you say dumb things. You sound foolish.

Fred has plenty of good thing to say about several black players. Guess he isnt racist then, huh? I bet if you where speeding and you where pulled over you would attribute it to race. Ignoring the fact you where speeding.

You're entitled to your opinion. Whatever. The guy is a racist. Not the cross-buring active type. Maybe even the careful type (or actually not all that careful....but careful enough for many). But whatever. There is no "proof" in your world. You are entitled to your opinion. Whether he is or isn't a racist is a simple fact, independent of either of our opinions.

J D Sal

You use the race card often huh? You have 100 percent zero proof to back up anything you said about Fred. What a moron. Da bruinz has already exposed you for the lying fool you are. You are no lawyer. I doubt you even went to highschool.

Dont let the door hit you on the way out meatball.

I think its irresponsible to think someone can only be a racist if I carried around a notebook to prove it. Listen to the guy. Form your own opinion I don't care. I think he is one. Its never been important enough to me to write down something that would make you happy (and likely wouldn't anyways). It makes no difference what my opinion is, he either is or isn't. I think he is. And I can say that if I want. Its not like I have never heard the guy. I have listened long enough to form an opinion. Its merely an opinion.

J D Sal

I've listened to him for the same amount of time and I can't think of one thing he's said that could be construed as racist. Maybe you just don't like him because he's a conservative republican.
