DRAFT Pick 159, Patriots Select K Justin Rohrwasser

Man some of you really can't keep it in your pants huh

Seems like a mentally tough kid

Do we really need 2 threads of 20+ pages on a rookie kicker who hasn't played a single down? I get you guys love to dig in to your politics like a 3 day old tick, but cheezus. We finally have something football to talk about.

These threads should be locked

Some of y’all either need a job or a hobby. Good lord. You know you’re bored and don’t have much of a life when you spend 20+ pages arguing online about tattoos on a rookie kicker from Marshall.

Justin Rohrwasser's Marshall teammates defend Patriots’ kicker, ‘He’s not a racist. Not even close’

Wrong. These folks would never ruin this kid's name and reputation over nothing. He has to be a racist Nazi.

Jason Whitlock is a total clown

That's almost always the case, but that particular video is very badly mis-titled.

The summary of the discussion would be

-This is no big deal at all.
-We don't need tattoo police in the NFL, since I bet nobody knows what a heck of a lot of tattoos mean. Some i guarantee you are gang-related. Do we care? No.
-We all make mistakes and when we are young, and even tend to join groups that may stand for things that we don't even understand at the time. For example, Whitlock talks about how he was once a supporter of Louis Farrakhan, before realizing the hate aspects of the Nation of Islam. Others talked of gang associations.
-To track down every past affiliation, every social media post, and every organization you ever were aligned with at any point in time is just silly.

Interesting. The message gets lost though by the 99% of people who see the word "Jason Whitlock" and immediately ignore or delete.

The guys in the video are suggesting moving on for the very reason I was hinting at in previous posts. This kid's tattoos have nothing on many of the players in the NFL.

Great point Elijah. Riveting.

I wonder if, in the post-AH NFL, teams (or the Patriots) are in the business of having tattoos examined. Or at least those which are publicly visible. I wouldn't be shocked. My wife's company, where the stakes involved are far lower, employ people to sift through and secretly monitor the social media presences of its workers.

What I really want to to know is: does any of this come as a surprise to BB? Or had he already convinced himself it would be a thing only momentarily and then blow over as people got to know the kid?

He knew and didn't care. He didn't plan for the absolute idiocy of the vocal minority.

Two of the places I have worked (one small company, one humongous Consulting Firm) do the same thing.

I closed all my social media (with the exception of twitter (although I don't tweet), counter.social and LinkedIn) three years ago or so, so the impact is less on me. But they do do it. Even have large sections of the employee handbook devoted to it.

I can't speak for anyone else, but 8 hours of conference calls with Devs in Vancouver and Bangalore or team calls with folks in Chicago, Brooklyn, San Diego, MA, NH, Tampa aren't really the "attention keepers" that other people's jobs are.
