Leach Tweet

[Phil Wenneck.sixpack]

When you were 18-21 could you tell me anything about foreign policy? Trade

agreements? The national debt? Military defense? But that's not the reason they don't like Trump and you know it.

Probably more than a few posters in this thread.

Didn't you mean "Native Americans"? Yes, I'm sure you did...............

Did anybody see the apology CML tweeted out this afternoon? Or what he posted that was so damn offensive?

My wife thought the original tweet was hilarious. I think she is looking for a pattern to make one for me.

Our ***** *** fanbase doesn’t deserve Leach. I thought we were a fairly homogeneous group of dove hunting baws, but the last two seasons have exposed the weak liberal underbelly that is a surprising number among us.

Who are you calling homo, snowflake?

[irony] A bunch of overly sensitive people are outraged about overly sensitive people being outraged. [/irony]

And for the record, I don’t believe Leach intended for the tweet to be racially charged, but if the imagery of a noose bothers a person, then they have every right to voice that.

Also, this business about “this is what’s wrong with today’s generation”... 30 years ago, Miami players were handed a cotton boll when they got off the plane in Dallas for the Cotton Bowl and took that as an personal affront. Same principal applies here, an innocuous gesture sent an unintentionally racially tinged message to the receiver.

Finally, yes, I could have had a conversation about foreign policy from 18-21. FFS, I was in college, just like the players making their opinions known.

But were you an Interdisciplinary Studies major? Look I don't think college

players are too dumb to have an opinion on politics. Hell, you have a right to vote at 18. But to say they are completely in tune and informed would be a stretch. 18-21 year olds aren't as intellectual as a whole now as in the past. I'm not knocking them and that sounded harsh. There are many exceptions to that rule. It's just that millennials have been spoiled way more and given this sense of entitlement that other generations didn't have. (See the Spring breakers catching corona.) And yes Trump takes alot of heat for being a racist with no true burden of proof. And it's being passed down.

It'll be good to get the season cancelled, so Leech has time to bring in some guys who get his quirky sense of humor.

18-21 year olds are Generation Z, not millenials, and every generation gets this reputation when they're that age.

I remember Survivor did a season billed as "Millenials vs. Gen X," and all the Generation X people were bragging about how their generation works hard and millenials don't, but that is the exact same thing that the Boomers and older were saying about Gen X 15-20 years ago! And now older millenials like me are routinely saying the same thing about Gen Z.

It's all a cycle. The WWI vets said we'd lose WWII because the Greatest Generation (not named that yet obviously) was too soft. Ancient Greeks said those things about young people of their day. In between the WWI vets and Greatest was the "Lost Generation" that everyone criticized when they were young, and then they turned around and said the same stuff about the "Silent Generation" (people a little too young to fight in WWII).
