Since The Lounge has been put out to pasture is there anyway we could have a thread to discuss anything political or otherwise. Maybe put it up in sticky threads. We could still have our lighter OT threads on the regular threads but it would give those who want to discuss these things on an assigned thread. The anthem IMO had nothing to do with sports. It was about the right to protest and have different opinions about it. My feelings won't be hurt if my suggestion is not used. Just thought it might work. OFC
Just a suggestion.

Whatever the mods want to do, but any social issue turns into attacks. It's bad enough after Duke loses, because of the difference in opinions, and/or passion that we have.
On social issues, go to National Board. I have a little, but need to stay away. I feel like I need a shower after visiting over there.
It's easier said than done, but talking Duke ball should Never turn personal. My opinion is not always agreed with, but just disagree with me on the topic. It chaps me when someone says your view is dumb or something along that line. Just disagree and keep it on point. As much as I get fired up, it's still only basketball, not life.
I don't agree with everyone but we all have our opinions, and last time I checked we all pull for the same team.

This is a Duke basketball board. Sure, we go off-topic at times and talk about stupid stuff, have fun and even dabble in politics/social issues. But that's not the true intent of this board. Brian has recently reminded me that, too.
We'll stick to Duke basketball and the fun stuff. We're veering away from politics, though.
