I'm around a lot of them here in TX and it just gets under their skin, the NFL is supposed to be a safe space

they don't even want to watch anymore, and that's just amazing

Yeah

I don't think it's a non-story because it showcases an incredible social shift.

I live in big time Jesusland and this neck of Jesusland is college football territory. Trump was in Alabama when he first opened the topic in his speech. No one in Alabama gives a rat's ass about the NFL. They expect blacks to work for free.

...and in the meantime a nuclear war is brewing...

Yeahhhh didn't we do this already? Batty posted a picture of her and we had the same discussion? Or is this another one? Another medical student? Surely not.

EDIT: Nevermind, I misread. I could see a prettied up rich white boy getting a pass to preserve their future a la the Stanford rape case though.

It's clearly a non-story that the broke ass NFL is latching onto for relevancy and the president is latching onto it to get eyes off of what his mouth points at North Korea.

Cultural shifts can be very important. Health care and NK and the Russian investigation are obviously way bigger direct impact stories but social attitudes lead to actions. I don't care that Goodell issued a statement scolding POTUS in and of itself but what that says about where people's heads might be is interesting to me.

Trollheart, the story appeared around May this year when she 'could' be spared jail, but the sentence wasn't due until now.

It reflects a larger shift that has already happened. Just look at Hollywood.

But pretty white girls get preferential treatment all the damn time. Whether it's **** like this or nation wide coverage of an abduction. It's not even specifically about women v. men tbh. It's just white people going aw shucks over a pretty white girl.

OccultHawk 09-25-2017 03:53 PM

She's seriously beautiful

That pussy shouldn't be wasted

Got some fire in her too

Nice

Don't be so sure, virtue signalling sells. Big.

Also I've heard the opposite on Kapernickel.
