2016-2017 NFL Season Thread [Archived] Football • Page 152

Starting to wonder how many cracks and crevices the Steelers roster can handle. They've shown repeatedly they have the depth and team chemistry to win ugly with fill-in players, but Cam Heyward injury is not good. He's crucial to their defense.

 

Sounds like he'll be fine by Week 1. And oddly enough, our d-line has pretty good depth. Last year, a Heyward or Tuitt injury would have doomed us. This year, with Mathews/Walton/Hargrave, I think we could get by on some modified fronts.

Far more worried about DB injuries. We have shit for safety depth

 

Can't wait to hear what his wife has to say about it

Sigh

 

Good for him. Like him more than I did already now.

 

Another day of trying to not cringe at nationalists and racists.

Good for Kaep.

 

Kaepernick is on his way out of the league anyways.

 

What's the point here exactly?

 

Kap is a goddamn legend for this. That's my quarterback.

 

What a stupid comment to a serious topic.

 

I don't agree with what he did

Are you saying that makes me racist?

 

Good for him.

Why don't you agree?

 

I was going to say the same thing because I don't agree with what he did either.

 

Because there is a time and place for it and that isn't on the field IMO

It has nothing to do with whether or not I agree with his point or not

 

Would you say the same to Tommie Smith and John Carlos? Athletes have a public platform where they can draw attention to issues they care about, why is it a problem if anyone chooses to utilize that? Furthermore, it's his personal choice: he doesn't feel comfortable supporting that ceremony, so he didn't. What's wrong with that? I'm honestly asking why you feel that way.

 

What, did someone's refusal to be indifferent to injustice somehow inconvenience you? What a joke. Time and place for everything lol give me a break. Just as Nathan said, they have a public platform and the ear and respect of the general public. So technically, this was the time and place. But also, the time and place thing is a load of horse shit anyway. They'll get criticized no matter how or when they bring it up. Always do.

 

Cam played like absolute shit last night. Already forcing the ball to KB again. I really hope he's just trying give him some extra looks since he missed last season. But it definitely has me worried.

 

People get warm and fuzzy about Deangelo Williams and Brandon Marshall breaking NFL rules for causes involving human lives but get up in arms when Colin Kaepernick makes a stance within the NFL rules involving human lives.

 

Blah blah blah.

 

People were never warm and fuzzy about those issues. I know I wasn't and I know others that weren't.

 

What part of your brain legitimately thought that this was an appropriate response? Like, are you actually this daft or are you truly ignorant to how absolutely stupid you just made yourself look?

 

To people I find acting like a pompous ass like you were in your response to Brandon.

 

So you take offense to people being called out for being insensitive to injustices but not the injustices themselves. Man, that truly says it all right there, doesn't it?

 

They were WIDELY praised and that's a fact
