And no, before anyone says otherwise, I'm not a Marxist. I'm a proponent of a sovereign state with a robust economy. Or, to put it another way, I'm an institutionalist.

id love to talk to you about the act of dividing a country thru race instead of class in p/r. It is very much of the same vein.

but im trying to be a good boy for gem in football section.

If you're serious about picking my brain, shoot me a PM.

Shoot me a PM if you don't want to discuss it here. I'd like to read your thoughts. Don't worry, I won't leak it ten years from now.

Or will I?

Muahahahhahahahahhahaa

I'm still on a break from P&R, which that topic is (PM or forum), because I find that most people simply don't like to hear/debate opposing views and take differences of opinion as personal.

I respect this and don't take it personally.

Very true. Well put.

It's like the league is using Gruden as some kind of sacrificial lamb to paint themselves as purer than they likely are.

1. Yeah, I guess.
2. It would only be fair, so yes.

Welcome to the cancel culture age. I feel bad for anyone growing up during the early social media era. Your selfies and videos are stored everywhere to brought up at some later time.

I, too, feel bad for people who have stuff they posted on social media as a kid being used against them later. I do not, however, feel sorry for 50 year old men who get caught saying racist/homophobic/sexist shit and sharing nude photos of women without their consent.

The point of using the phrase "n word" isn't to try to hide the term being referenced. It's to be able to discuss the use of the term in the abstract without actually saying the word that many people find hurtful.

I understand your point. I just find it interesting.
