You mean he might be a guy who creates problems in the locker room?  Never would have guessed it. Seattle dumped him for peanuts.  Eagles dumped him, and then Pats suspended him.  He's just not a guy you want to have in a locker room if you want harmony and teamwork.

Hey every little bit has to help no?  I have as little faith in JJAW as anyone out there but I'd rather him be with Carson than not.  It's high freaking time the Eagles draft picks start developing.  He has no where to go but up.

Howie is ready to strike for Dalvin Cook. Sanders and Cook? Holy smokes! I can feel it!

That's probably a good thing.  I mean it makes it safer for people.  What's the problem with it? We have been doing it as a country for more than 100 years without issues of fraud.

Because of covid people didnt want to go to the polls so mail in voting was an easy effective alternative.

It wasnt a big deal until trump and the GOP the majority of whom mail in vote opened their ignorant pie holes and started crying about voter fraud in an effort to suppress the vote in their favor.

Al Franken and the mail in ballots found in trunks of cars until he won says hi. Two million extra names on the rolls in Cali do as well. The town in PA who got double votes are waiving too.  You all sound like the Patriots talking about how spygate didn't change the outcome of anything.

Voter suppression plays a bigger role and is more rampant in election than voter fraud.

If one wants to investigate voter fraud start with voting machines that are bought and paid for by political parties.

The right want to pretend voter fraud is a great threat to accurate election outcomes because the repubs know that when they dont suppress the vote and people are able to vote corrupt corporate dems win and the repubs think they own the market on corporate government corruption.

Saying people are fraudulently voting is one thing, keeping people from their constitutional right to vote is another.

Studies show voter suppression is more rampant than voter fraud by a wide margin.

Saw Cook at the Philly Airport.  He's in 14 day quarantine,  then they announce the trade.

The protest matters more than football. People know what they’re risking when they go out to protest. NFL players don’t need to take that risk. 

When politicians, the military, corporate america, and sometimes even the police themselves are supporting you, you aren't risking anything. You aren't fighting the system, you are the system.

ID and proof of citizenship, how outrageous.

What is this sudden obsession over mail in voting? Absentee ballots have always been allowed.  They are probably the biggest reason Lincoln was re-elected in 1864.  

To get an absentee ballot you have to request one. What they're proposing is mailing a ballot to anyone who is registered. How often do states purge the voter rolls  of dead people and those who have moved out of state?

Six feet of separation between the DL and OL?  On a tackle or a block? But even with the plexiglass shield, there wasn’t six feet of separation between me and the clerk at the post office today.  But I do think if the add full shield, not just visors to helmets they can do well.

Who is being suppressed ands who is doing the suppressing?

Requirements vary by state.  The argument is that underprivileged minorities are systematically targeted and suppressed in the vote due to requirements of ID and proof of citizenship.

The police are trained for interactions.  They are the ones interaction on these issues all day.  They need to be trained to de-escalate.  I think there's very good evidence that when they are trained in deescalation there is less chance of violence.  

Sometimes I just think both sides of the aisle should be able to agree on a utilitarian approach to the interactions.  From a utilitarian perspective, the reason to have police is that it less costly to society to have them then to not have them.  People and businesses are hurt by lawlessness and that hurt can be measured economically.  On the other hand, arrests, the judicial process and prison all cost money to operate.   So if we assume that as an ethical foundation and assume that any interaction has to be viewed vs. the cost to the general public, then less arrests and violence should be the end result. 

Part of the problem with this equation is that there are too many business interests tied up in the prison system.   There is a whole prison industry that drives too much of our policy.  

Time to decriminalize vice crimes too.  Prohibition should have taught us that. Regulate and treatment.

As long as a picture ID is provided free of charge if you don't have a drivers license I don't see the problem. In Missouri you even need a birth certificate or passport to get a drivers license.

Although I don't know what good a birth certificate does

Very few politicians actually care, they are placating their voters.

The military? How is the military as a whole supporting the cause? I dont consider shooting rubber bullets and tear gas at protesters support. A few random police showing support by kneeling while admirable for them doesnt constitute as support.

If politicians want to end racism institute sweeping policy change that decreases racism. Malcolm X and Marx both said you cant have racism without capitalism.

If military want to end racism well thats a global effort other than the national guard. As i said calling in tbe national guard to shoot at people isnt support.

If the police want to end racism then drop their clubs and march with the protesters they are sworn to protect and institute sweeping policy change within PD.

As for corporations, dont get me started, corporations enable racism, want to end racism end class systems that pit people against each other for resources.

Wendys taco bell and pizza hut just dolled out money to re elect trump, probably the day after they blacked out their media page for empty blackout tuesday. If corporations were serious about ending racism they wouldnt continue to support openly race baiters like Trump.

The working class isnt the system they are cogs that keep the system running. That system being controlled by the ruling class.

Exactly. Also a highly conditioned athlete isn't likely to have a severe reaction to virus exposure. Not too many 65 yr old NFL players

Yup.  

It's time to "Vietnam" the war on drugs.  Get out of there.  We are halfway there with marijuana anyway.  Drug policing is nearly $4b annually.  

I'm not saying to just legalize everything in a free for all, but hard, dangerous drugs are very accessible as it is.  Where is this getting us?

The left says that this war is punishing, incarcerating, and profiling non-violent people of color.  The right wants lower taxes.  Boom.  Everybody come together, shake hands, tax some drugs, and let's save some money.  

Just don't ask the taxpayer to fund everyone's rehab afterwards.  You're on your own.
