Florio going full totalitarian. I guess Florio never heard of Thomas More.

Thank God that we have actors,singers and athletes to guide us when considering matters of decency....morality...right and wrong! Otherwise we deplorables...we bitter clingers...we “uneducated,white,cisgender,males” simply wouldn't be able to decide *what* to think!

I love how these Lefties went from "dissent is the highest form of patriotism" to kneel before ZodBLM.

[Altura Ct.]

The choices are to support the notion of equality, liberty, and justice for all, or not to.

That's BS. Show me how that works exactly. Discriminate against whites? Tax whites? Be specific. Who gets to determine what is 'equal'?

Hey Florio, are you for or against punishing illegal and violent activity during the protests or are you not? There is no middle ground on this.

[Vinnie]

I dislike Belichick but he is smart to keep his mouth shut .

[Flick Lives]

Leftists have “evolved” over the years.
They use to say, “I don’t agree with you, but I defend your right to speak”.
Then they silenced anyone who disagreed with them.
Now they demand everyone mouth the words they want to hear.

[Jim Noble]

The choices are to support the notion of equality, liberty, and justice for all, or not to.

Equality and liberty are antonyms.

[newfreep]

Florio is a nasty leftwing socialist & racist...and not very bright.

I rarely visit PFT anymore...

[napscoordinator]

There are 50 coaches. Have they all said something. I know packers and redskins have. That’s not all. Leave patriots out of it.

When the NFL does finally get a few games in some neutral site with no fans in the stands, it's going to sound like "The Connors" without a laugh track.

Between the knee-taking, ghetto trash talking, contract woes between the players and the owners, contract woes between the TV networks and the owners, and the constant temp-taking needed on the sidelines to satisfy Fauci Fantasy Rules, having a 2020 season sounds like a dream that won't happen for the NFL and the NBA.

[Psalm 73]

I don’t think BB will allow himself to be baited by single-digit IQs like Tom Curran and Mike Florio.

“Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité“

It has a familiar sound to it.

[lurk]

But now the mandate is that silence is support of racism.

This parallels the Chinese cultural revolution in shaming and destroying.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

In this historic moment, there is no middle ground.

Just like China circa 1949.

Belichick is smart. With a lying, political press, everything you say will be taken out of context and distorted, or absolutely made up. I would not issue any statements about race, race relations, riots, blacks, black lives matter, white lives don’t matter, etc, and would only release written statements, at the time of my choosing. Perhaps even have them notorized after each release and infrom the liars that if it is not notorized, it did not come from me..

A lot of people hate Bill Belichick for a number of reasons, but I'll tell you where I think Bill Belichick stands on these things: He is against this crap, this rioting about the myth of and epidemic of black men being murdered by police. And the kneeling during the National Anthem? He will never, ever, publicly endorse it.

Never.

He will resign before he does that. I don't know Belichick, and none of what I say is more than my opinion, I was only in his close personal presence once (a story I have always found humorous) and none of this is to say he is a good person, because I don't know about that. As a matter of fact, my impression of him is that personally, he can probably be a dick at times. I say this because in the last twenty years of observing him, I believe these things to be true of him:

1. He is a conservative. He reeks of it. And the main reason I say this is that he is a realist, and deals in facts, not what he wishes the facts were. That alone disqualifies Leftism in him.
   
   
2. He believes in personal responsibility. He demands it of people who play for him. That isn't to say he hasn't had players under him who don't share that belief and fail at it, but overall, he has very high expectations of people, and demands that from them. And some players simply cannot handle that. As anyone knows, having high expectations placed on you means it is more likely you will be held to account if you don't achieve them, and that is a hallmark of Bill Belichick. That is also an arguably conservative outlook, having high expectations and holding people to those expectations.
   
   
3. He is a Patriot (not the football kind, the American kind) and he loves his country. That automatically makes him a non-Leftist. Another reason he will never publicly state support for kneeling during the National Anthem or otherwise disrespecting the flag.
   
   
4. He is a student of history in all of its forms, and not just football history, of which his knowledge is legendary. If you have any doubts about this, you can ask people who have been around him. Leftists have no use for history except as a tool to further their political goals.
   
   
5. He is a traditionalist, in some aspects, even a sentimentalist. He believes in the power and meaning of positive symbols and ceremonies. I believe it is due most of all to his father, but also to being in close proximity to the military for many years in his life. And there are few organizations that (at least up to the last decade or so) value tradition and ceremony as much as the military does. So I am 100% certain he views the kneeling and disrespect of the flag in the dimmest of lights. But his hands are tied in some respects by reality.
   
   
6. He is stubborn. I believe he is so stubborn, that if he is forced to mouth platitudes about something that is completely not rationally based, but emotionally based and based on racism (not the racism of brutal police and supposedly institutional racism, but the racism of accusing others of that) that I believe they would have to resort to physical torture to get that out of him.

Again, this is my opinion based on twenty years of close observation, not just what the media says about him, but his actions in various things, and I believe this is all true.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

Yep, there is nothing more sincere than being forced to say something /S
