People still bring up Karpernick. Just because it’s inconvenient for you doesn’t mean you get to rewrite reality to be more comfortable. It was only a few weeks ago where a mistaken story of Kaep getting signed got printed and it set off a powder keg in the media. People very much care, as much as you wish they wouldn’t

Nobody cares about the guy. There's an obligatory reaction to pay attention to him, but just like his intellect, his relevance is negligible. It happens to most people who deal in mythology.

The guy is nothing more than an ignorant douche.

Drewski said:

No I am agreeing with you. IA has argued that "One sought the spotlight, and one didn't" as to why they are different.

I'm simply saying if a person expects to be one of ~1700 people in the whole world who play in the NFL, "the spotlight" is simply inherently part of that life pursuit.

Oh I 100% agree on that. I wouldn’t care if he wasn’t on my team. Sports media and regular media wouldn’t care if he didn’t just become a person of interest

Instead, members of the Three Percenters and the Redneck Revolt, a left-leaning militia, said they attempted to thwart fights and provide emergency medical care.

“Probably 80 percent of our members served in Afghanistan or Iraq, so [the violence] wasn’t that big of a deal to them. They know how to handle situations,” Ross said. “Most organizations like us [and the Revolt] train on a regular basis, so it’s no surprise that no shots were fired. We disagree politically [with the Redneck Revolt], but they’re good people.”

One simple Google search.

Maybe read your own article. They freely admit they stood as a buffer between the Nazi’s and counter protestors.

You don’t get to unsolicited do that and later whine “we really aren’t political we were just protecting the Nazi’s rights on principle”.

What kind of rube would take that for an answer...., oh

Do you actually understand the term “buffer” or are you just being ignorant for the fun of it?

Edit: From the article as well:






As more and more stridently racist groups were invited, many Three Percenter members bowed out of the rally.

“I think [Nazis and nationalists] hated us as much as they hated anyone else. They designated us ‘oath ****s’ and said we were ‘fence-sitting LARPers,’ whatever that means. They kind of have their own language and it’s hard to understand them,” Ross said.


I mean, you can see what you want to see. That doesn’t make it true.

Yeah I do. It didn’t change a thing. The next time the klan then your guns and be a buffer between them while they chant “white power” and counter protestors and see how you’re group of peers thinks about your bravery.

You can’t be this obtuse? Seriously, you don’t need to die on a hill this easy to decipher because he got drafted by us.

only on patsfan can a thread about a kicker turn into a **** show,

guys, can you put away your partisans politics, at least while you are here,

all i should care about is can the kid make the kicks under pressure and in horrible new england weather

How did he pass the vetting process? Do not want.

I called out your ********. I’m not being obtuse at all. To the ignore list you go. It’s impossible to have a discussion with you.

This is the same team that after Spygate decided it was a smart idea to have a 3rd party camera crew in a press box for an opponents game and didn’t make sure they didn’t clear it with every possible party and take every precaution to make sure their were no risks.

I’m starting to think they just really are obtuse to optics in general

I think it's cute when the ignorant latch on to myths based on an obligatory sense of moral "compassion". I'm sure opportunistic douchebags like Kaepernick appreciate the support of simpletons.

IllegalContact said:

I would like to know what kind of dumb sh*t would ink that into themselves. I think it's hilarious these morons see themselves as patriotic.

Great job by BB doing his homework

Too strong a take for me IC.

1. Permanently placing a tattoo on yourself when you're 16,17,18 years old probably isn't the best choice, but hardly for lack of cognitive ability. Who you are at that age typically isn't who you are a few years later, let alone decades so. Ink is largely permanent and as such should be "respected" accordingly if you want to avoid "embarrassing" situations later in life. And I say this as someone who has five pieces, so hardly the anti ink crowd.

2. If he, as a kid, thought the iconography showed support for the military and the defenders of issues he believes in, I get it in an agnostic POV.

3. If the icon took on new meaning after the fact because the group's views matriculated along the spectrum, while that is a hypothetical reality, that's hardly his fault. He pointed to this in his statements.

4. In a vacuum, his place on the team should be based on the merit of his performance in his role, just like it should be for any player and any "advocacy issue".

5. But its also true he aint playing in West Bumf*** anymore. Hes playing in the biggest sports league on the planet now and if his "advocacy" costs his team something then there almost certainly will be a reaction. That's just the way this cookie crumbles.

The noise in your head is of angry confusion.....I didn’t have a problem with kaepernick and I don’t care about this guy......the nfl hasn’t gotten a dime from me for 14 years. The real idiots are the ones who get triggered by one but not the other ... slimy little hypocrites showing their true colors

I don't get triggered...just call a spade a spade. I could not possibly care less what Colin Kaepernick does. I just find it humorous when people willfully buy into mythology because it's the "compassionate" thing to do at a given time. I equate Kaepernick to flat-earthers, just more obnoxious.

I just read the comment that the most successful player to come out of Marshall was Chad Pennington? Did you forget about Randy Moss and Troy Brown? What kind of Patriot fan are you?
