Why the respectful honorific for a foreign-born islamist?

Had any man today used Tantaros’ words we’d be talking extended mea culpas followed by suspension or worse. But when a woman’s big mouth is activated, we’re all supposed to look the other way. Ask Janay Rice how that works, and kudos for Greg Gutfeld interjecting that inconvenient truth called “facts”.

It's revolting how many FReepers DO, in fact, think it was okay, based on many posts I've read. Okay to whip a 4 yr old boy hard enough to draw blood, that leaves welts days after the hitting. It's supposed to demonstrate love and Godliness.
I understand what you're saying about the behavior clause. I do wish the problem could be solved without the NFL letting the media set the tone. It seems the more the NFL does to appease people who don't like football anyway, the more involved the media gets. Is there any way for sanity to happen?
I’ve always been a subscriber to the 10,000 hour theory. That in order to maximize your talent at something you have to spend 10,000 working on it. That equates to about 8 years of one’s life, if you think that these guys come into the league at 22 having already sunk that time in they’re failing at things like knowing how to behave away from the field start making a lot more sense. They’ve led very focused lives, and given how we treat stars in this country (a lot of “yes” very little “no”) it’s actually kind of impressive so many can actually function in society.
I don’t have a problem with Rice getting kicked out. Anybody that punches somebody they say they love that hard is an SOB. The real question is why didn’t the law do anything? I don’t think the NFL is trying to appease people who don’t like football, they’re trying to control their media footprint. And fixing the behavior is the way to do that. One way or the other these discipline cases need to learn to function off the field, or get out of the league. The other sports are going through similar issues, but they aren’t as high profile.
In case you have not noticed there are some really effed up people on FR. Go figure.
“I wasn’t asking for advice.”
You should
the media didn’t set this policy, the fans outra’ge set this policy
I totally agree with you, the parents that hit their kids are idiots. My parents hit me and they are idiots. I didn’t hit my kids and they are far better citizens than most.
It’s not “emoting” Balding, it’s revulsion at vicious mistreatment of a 4 year old.
I agree Balding, you need some advice and Georgia Girl is right.
Do you even know what emoting means?
Not just freepers. I am such a longtime fan of rush Limbaugh but I had to turn him off the other day when he was pretty much, though he was semi-careful, siding (while telling his audience he WAS NOT SIDING) with those who were defending the wife batterer. I can’t keep these abusers straight.
Call me a flaming lib if you want, and it won’t make me one, but I believe striking women and children like these examples is criminal and there is not, and cannot, be an excuse for such acts. And I don’t care if I am siding with the MSM on that.
I’ve lived long enough to see both ways tried, and I know which way turns out humans, and which ways turn out a lot of feral beings.
It’s not so difficult that I need advice, I prefer humans.
wow, lemme give that some thought.............
Do you think college football being so popular doesn’t allow the NFL to have the talented jerkwads weeded out before they get to the pros? I mean the minor leagues of pro-baseball isn’t a fraction as popular, but I wonder if some get weeded out that way before they ever get a shot at the MLB. Not to say MLB doesn’t have its share of jerkwads for sure, but I would tend to think more would get weeded out in the minors than in college football. Or maybe normally more time is spent in the minors than in college football normally, and that allows for more maturation before they make it to the big show?

It wasn’t the beatings, it was the families not broken down, did you miss that? Vicious treatment does not turn out good humans, YOU ARE WRONG. You are entitled you your twisted opinion but you are still WRONG.
College football being as big as it is probably just exacerbates the problem. It means 4 more years of “yes”, and fame and sex and under the table money and stuff. Especially when you look at how regularly NCAA rules get broken, it really does teach kids that have avoided accountability most of their life that really they are above the rules, just try not to get caught (wink, wink). I’m sure minor league baseball (and hockey) helps weed a lot of those guys out, teaches them how to hear “no”, treat the sport as a job, and be a part of society.
Yeah, you said it much better than I did. All of that makes sense. It’s almost like pro baseball and hockey benefit in that very specific way for not being as popular as football. Maybe also much easier to bench a talented guy for acting jerky when you play so many more games, most of the time they generally mean less as far as a successful season.

I assume you mean Mr. Khan, the self made billionaire, who owns the Jaguars. I was unaware he is “America-hating”. What data do you have to back up this assertion?
I believe all this is tactical, looking at the timing.
This showcasing of the professional black rage crowd is really a get out the vote effort, riling up the black base, creating a “cause”, trying to make a national political issue out of these NFL scandals and the Ferguson case.
Just in time for the midterms comes the Black Caucas in action, pulling out the “No Peace, No Justice” drama to play for the folks.
