imagine getting so offended by 'messaging' that I deprive myself of something I claim to enjoy

All he does is crap on others. Doesn’t share his own thoughts. I’m beginning to think he doesn’t have an original thought in his head that he can share.
might I suggest your friendly neighborhood sportsbook if you're finding it hard to cheer for non-NU teams?
Pretty much sums it up. Its a ******* Saturday in Lincoln and the Huskers aren't playing!! I'm beyond pissed!!
Cut me some slack. My twin daughters are Freshmen at Minnesota and both in the marching band. I want them to have many great experiences there, but for them to have the best experiences would mean Minnesota would need to continue to build on last year’s success.
Very hard for me to root for Minnesota.
I am enjoying the Twins and traditionally have enjoyed the Vikings. I can still root for them.
And you are exactly what those doing the messaging are counting on, believing that because it is football, people won't turn it off and they will listen and follow. And it's worth noting that America is getting dumber and dumber and is easily influenced, even by the those on the field who you claim are largely moronic.
all but the listen and follow part, friend.
any whose political leanings are influenced by a football game, either by believing messaging or actively avoiding lest they be offended, are mush-minds.
Less than 8% of their student body is black according to their website. >45% white. >14% Asian and so on. Lots of "others".
Funny, just yesterday people were up here asking " Where's artguy? He always made the board better".
Nobody has ever asssss ... oooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I see what you did there.
I didn't see the pre-game and opening minute of the Chiefs game the other night. I'm not a fan of songs other than OUR National Anthem being played and that includes Lee Greenwood's God Bless the USA. Black "national anthem".? IMO it's divisive but there's worse things. I do NOT like players wearing patches etc of common criminals who happened to get shot or killed by cops. Those guys weren't some kind of hero. Likewise BLM is clearly a Marxist political movement and it is completely inappropriate for those letters to appear to be endorsed by a sports league in any way.
That said, I've said before that IF people want to do something to express unity by locking arms or hands while standing for the anthem, I wouldn't mind that. IMO, that's a respectful way to show a unity between races in a dignified way as a team while still maintaining respect for the flag. Kneeling? Nope. Constant lecturing about race during sports events is wildly inappropriate as well.
Oh no... you mean to tell me the Vikings, who play out of Minneapolis, is honoring the family of George Floyd, who was a Minneapolis resident and killed by police??? I never would have expected this. Not in a million years. So, if I watch the Vikings I guess I’m a hypocrite.
Guilty, I guess.
On the flip side, you have proven once again to be the quintessential turd in the punch bowl, doing what you do best. This is all you’re useful for on this board. Well done!
Kind of telling when we make a martyr out of a petty criminal who was whacked out on meth and fentanyl when he fought the cops.
A society which worships at the feet of career criminals over David Dorn in order to satisfy marxists is heading into a new dark ages. Which helps explain our first voluntary depression. I'm proud of those in America who recognize what is going on and standing up against it. I wish Barr would get off his fat lazy *** and be more proactive.
True to a degree. They're the ones the cops are allowed to arrest and be prosecuted. None of them probably care since they're woke and feel they're taking one for the team
Yes it is a damn shame there isn’t more interest in legislation to protect police officers from facing armed suspects. This failure to protect them also puts them in situations where they occasionally choke - like a golfer missing a 3 foot putt - and act prematurely and ask questions later.
America isn’t interested in protecting LEOs - thoughts and prayers go out to officer Dorn and his family.
I don't care if someone wants to watch FB or not due to what is on the players' uniforms. But if you think ignoring BLM, Antifa, and all the other Marxist organizations that are reeking havoc are going to make them magically disappear, good luck with that.

Yeah, don't agree, except that the messaging is certainly directed at the mush-minded.
Are you arguing my point? Like I said, less than half their students are white. They are one of the least white universities.
Your post seemed to indicate that you believed there to be a large percentage of black students at Duke. There is not. North Carolina as a state is over 20% black. Black students are under represented compared to their general population of the area at Duke University.
My statement is fact and if you want to compare black students go ahead. Take a gander at other ACC schools or better yet take a look at Nebraska. Then get back on what universities are "white" as the OP commented.
Yeah, ok. The “Ivy League of the South” is $60k/year, 47% white, 21% Asian, and 10% black. So ALM would be more appropriate.
Out of curiosity, how can they protest police brutality against unarmed black people in an acceptable way? Since a sticker is apparently too much and they can't silently kneel during the national anthem, what is an acceptable form of protest?
You just illustrated part of the problem with this. BLM is not an organization whose sole goal is to change some police behavior. In addition, you're never going to completely eradicate unfortunate situations where a human being is involved. Never. Weed out the very very small fraction of bad cops if you can. What is ironic is that a former Democrat presidential candidate had the opportunity on several occasions to weed out the guy who killed George Floyd and refused to prosecute him.
Many universitites are white. Part of that is the horrible inner city education systems and societal breakdown. I agree to some extent that Duke is mislabeled as a white school. Asians tend to make up a greater percentage of schools than their demographic would indicate and that is why whites and Asians are discriminated against during admittance procedures. Most schools like Duke and the Ivys move blacks and first generation immigrants to the front of line. The Ivy League schools are very generous with tuition forgiveness for black and first generation immigrant students.
You can bleat this talking point as many times as you want, and it still won't be true:
I'm also just trying to imagine the amount of squealing (which would have been justified) you would have done if Officer Chauvin had been prosecuted for his involvement in the shooting of Wayne Reyes, after all of the cops involved testified that Reyes pointed a sawed-off shotgun at them.
So true--Tell that to the colleges that won't allow conservative speakers on their campus to express an opposing view. I'm sure that is the example you would use to prove your point...correct?
North Carolina is over 70 % white so you're saying whites are under represented too? Or did you just think you'd google my post and have a gotcha moment and found out I was correct? I don't see your point.
My post was calling out a post that was completely false, which I'm sure he got being spoon fed a fake narrative on ESPN for the better part of 30 years. I'd say probably 90% of the board thought the same...
Do you people have any real substantive and cogent response other than “yeah, but Trump ...”. It makes you look terribly stupid. Assuming what you say is true, they aren’t putting Trumps name on jerseys. Do you get the point? Try real hard.
Nobody has ever proven Trump is a rapist. Political opponents and money chasing attorneys are really good at making accusations.
He did brag about committing sexual assault on tape...not rape but not great either. I saw a guy on the news this week who said many Trump supporters dont actually like Trump the person at all. They like the fact that he pisses off or hates the same people they disapprove of as well. Makes quite a bit of sense.
