Shit. Step out for a night time stroll and some hooch restocks, come back and Akira got got. Now I gotta crack a bottle for my dude.
 
It's bullshit how Kaep is blacklisted but this is how they operate and the players need to be willing to eat a paycheck or two to actually show anything. Shit they are so toothless they can't even do a labor strike until 2021 as written in the CBA.

Get back to me on Kaep when he speaks out again on voting now that we're neck deep in it, and his problems aren't going away. Do I really give a shit about watching him throw again? No. Fuck him until he gets right.


I don't get what you're getting at? What does voting have to do with someone getting blackballed?


You asked about a boycott on his behalf, like that was some kind of life altering choice. I'm pointing out that he took a step forward and then several steps back. Could give a crap about his career or the NFL. So I guess yes, boycott the NFL. But don't do it for Kaep. Do it for the thousands of other reasons ignored everyday. Boycott him, and every other motherfucker that shows up to say "don't vote" so that we lose rights.

So you are ok with someone losing their employment for not voting? I didn't agree with a lot of his stances. But he didn't commit a crime or do anything wrong and he's getting blackballed for not standing. I just think this set a bad precedent. White players can call their teammates N-bombs and are still in the league.

It's insane how different the NBA and NFL are.

I don't plan on putting money into things involving the NFL like purchasing any merchandise or watching any games from home. The athletes put on a damn fine product, but everything coming in from the top is such a sham. Wish there was a way to support one but not the other.

That never happened. Try again.

the Kaep thing should be a wake up call to players. Shows how little agency they have, your worth is only measured by racists
 
Nah. 'splain your position. Don't need the respect for mine. Support yours.

Ok. My issues with the NFL is that the Kaepernick situation is a message to the other black players about speaking out. Don't speak or the same will happen to them. I just think it sets a bad precedent. Btw, I did not agree with a lot of Kaepernick stances about voting.

Then why are you asking if we should support the NFL? Seems pretty clean cut to me.

Lion out here reminding me of the first time I went hiking.

Saw another black dude on the mountain and we both just looked at each other like:
"These folks got you out here too huh."

I love dapping up random black dudes in white situations.

hiking is dope for sure though

Why does the lead of My Hero Academia have the most boring power?

Tfw you realize it's kind of even more boring than regular superstrength lol

Well, other than when he used to shoot compressed air by flicking his fingers I guess. It's okay though, Deku still cool.

Yeah. But the power is eh. I would go with something way cooler. Also that gadget girl needs to become iron man in future, it's her Destiny.

I watch the new eps of Pokemon, and i just feel bad for Ash. Kid obviously has problems, but his mom and oak keep shoving him out into the world
Everyone in his life keeps enabling him, while also downplaying his actual accomplishments, it's a vicious cycle.

Why does the lead of My Hero Academia have the most boring power?

Sure, but at least he power is consistent, and he has an actual personality. We've avoided another Ichigo situation.

Do you think we as Black people should boycott the NFL? I love the sport but this Kaepernick thing has left me uneasy.

Keep in mind that there are Black people outside of the US in this thread. Shyega and Beefy can't even watch the NFL to protest it.

As for protesting, there's enough for Black people in the US to feel uneasy about in every US sports league. But in regards to trying to send a message to the NFL, it's US Black athletes that need to protest in addition to Black college athletes not joining the NFL.

It's easier to make your hero look like the underdog when the protagonists have basic powers against villains with way better abilities.

I stopped looking at that thread so I can stop rolling my eyes.

The guy in the WW2 thread missing basic history shit about the war is amazing tho.

Way too many dudes seem to be shrugging of the killing of 100,000's of people as well. Not even getting involved in that shit
