The very last thing
the National Football League should be doing is crafting a ceremony that honors these motherfucking** hoodlums.
That $ 9 Billion league should spend more time working to eliminate the culture of fucking racism and motherfucking sexual violence and less time making up some shit-ass award that means exactly nothing.
Oh, yes. All these accusations! Obviously guilty! Reminds me of the music industry. Michael Jackson was accused of sexual assault and they did nothing about curbing sexual harassment and did nothing about ending fucking racism. Hell, $9 billion is peanuts compared to the music industry, yet they won’t even wear pink to try to eliminate breast cancer. Crazy!
Um, what exactly are you talking about?
(I think they do, actually.)
How about all of these members of the federal government who have been convicted of crimes.
Point well taken.
What’s your signature mean?
It’s from the U2 song Mysterious Ways.
Is this a new thing? Hasn’t the NFL (and the leagues of other sports as well) been recognizing seasonal accomplishments like most yards gained and highest number of sacks and whatnot for a long long time?
Yes, and there are even awards to celebrate the best among the vast majority of NFL athletes who aren’t terrible human beings and who are actually very good human beings who do good works in society on an ongoing basis. Apparently they don’t count or matter.
But it’s Cartooniverse. I’d be shocked if he started a Pit post that wasn’t poorly researched, head-scratching recreational outrage.
I was whooshing.
Some are guilty, yes. (Still think Kane from the Hawks is a scumbag.) But an accusation isn’t a conviction. And many of the players aren’t top paid, celebrities. It’s not like magic league lawyers come to the rescue for them, and most are not convictions.
Which of the players nominated for an award is a hoodlum?
It’s been a while, but maybe you’re thinking of DB Eugene Robinson of the 1998 Atlanta Falcons, who was awarded the Athletes in Action/Bart Starr Award, given annually to a player who best exemplifies outstanding character and leadership in the home, on the field and in the community, the day before Super Bowl XXXIII. He was groggy and missed a few plays in the game, because he’d been up all night in the police station after propositioning an undercover cop in a prostitution sting.
You really must be quite stupid. There are people arrested for crimes in every single line of work, including the priesthood.
I don’t think a sports organization can ‘end racism.’ But, playing team sports is actually a good way for people to interact with those from different backgrounds and races. It’s pretty hard to be racist against the guy of a different race that has just scored a game winning touchdown.
I imagine that depends on which team he scored it for.
I’m still confused about when the NFL instituted awards honoring players or teams with the highest number of arrests* or most grievous crimes.
*though the Cincinnati Bengals deserve some sort of lifetime recognition honors in this category.
Actually Denver and Minnesota have more arrests since 2000 than the Bengals.
Isn’t giving public recognition to the players who are behaving in an exemplary fashion doing something to encourage better behavior?
I’m going to have a LOT of fun with that website. You can filter out different arrest reasons, sort by what day of the week the arrest was made, all kinds of interesting stuff!
