What's this?

I've seen some and it didn't really seem so bad.

He said "De Smith had lips like Michelin tires." That has nothing to do with race. Plenty of white women inject their lips and look the same way. He used the word "queers", which is actually the word that the PC gay people prefer.... so they say. He called Goodell a pu**y. The only one offended by that is Goodell. Maybe I haven't seen it all? That doesn't seem like much, especially considering it was 10 years ago. The NFL brings in rappers to perform using lyrics with worse language.

Nah. The world has always demanded some type of accountability -- nomad2u2001 10/12/2021 09:58AM

Selective accountability, depending on the person, their politics, and race ** -- Send In The Clowns 10/12/2021 12:02PM

Not "always"...see Gov. Northam of Virginia. ** -- trinitypirate 10/12/2021 11:21AM

He has the benefit of being an incumbent. People tend to suck it up -- nomad2u2001 10/12/2021 12:27PM

Or if he was smart enough to not use his work email -- nomad2u2001 10/12/2021 09:21AM

Well, NFL is a private entity, so it's their choice to expect employees... -- PowderKeg 10/12/2021 10:41AM

He was also not an NFL employee 10 years ago..... -- JS-Pir 10/12/2021 12:07PM

No. It was dredged up because Washington was under an unfair workplace -- nomad2u2001 10/12/2021 12:35PM

Yes, emails he sent to Allen there over the years. ** -- ECU82 10/12/2021 12:41PM

He wasn't fired. He resigned ** -- gvegaspirate 10/12/2021 10:14AM

That's the public explanation. You know what happened. ** -- trinitypirate 10/12/2021 10:31AM

Yep. He resigned for making an ass of himself ** -- gvegaspirate 10/12/2021 10:39AM

Your boss would fire you if they knew some of the language you post on GTL. ** -- trinitypirate 10/12/2021 11:19AM
