Keep digging that hole.

quote: ORIGINAL: Bill Johanesen quote: ORIGINAL: unome Capitalization offended you? So fragile. This comes from someone who is offended by just about anything said, peaceful protests, silent kneeling, you name it. Typical. Well, wrap yourself in the "Anthem" and enjoy. And order everyone their t-shirts! OK, since people keep responding to me. I will respond as well. I thought national anthem was capitalized, but I was wrong. Star Spangled Banner is capitalized though so whatever point you were trying to make was kind of flimsy. https://adebayothevoice.com/qa/do-you-capitalize-the-national-anthem.html And I think it is funny that you and others try and mock my t-shirt idea when "Black Lives Matter" t-shirts are being worn to share a message and the NBA has similar messages on their jerseys. Wearing messages on your clothing is not some crazy lame idea I dreamt up.

You and KG should start a club.

The Vikings did indeed go to Riley Reiff yesterday in an attempt to restructure his contract, as @ChadGraff pointed out, and Reiff did not practice yesterday. I’m hearing they gave him the day to think it over before they would opt to release him and save $8 million.

We can't afford to get weaker on the OL and mark my words releasing him will make us weaker on the OL.

Flipmazzi 🏈@Flipmazzi 75% of Riley Reiff’s pressures allowed occurred in playoff or divisional games. He’s a fantastic LT when the stakes are low.

https://www.dailynorseman.com/2020/8/31/21408696/minnesota-vikings-approach-riley-reiff-about-restructuring-contract#comments Restructuring is a waste. I imagine it will be a Griffith situation; pay cut and opt out. Why would Reiff agree to this? Next year the market might be brutal for veterans and it will only save us a few million this year. If Oneil and Udoh are our Ts, we still have tons of depth in Hill, Ezra, and even Collins and Dozier. I think Bill proposed the lineup I would go with: Hill/Ezra, Best of the rest, Bradbury, Udoh, Oneil. We still have a ton of line flexibility. In the above - I'd also cut Elf, but that's never gonna happen.

Being Anti-Racist shouldn't mean checking your brain at the door.

Stefon Diggs is his hero. Interesting stat, but ridiculously small sample size.

You and KG should start a club. It was not allowed by their bosses last time. If it is this time, they obviously can do it. Either way, it would not be a First Amendment protected right. And I have nothing against KG, but I will stand on my own opinions, thanks. I need a club just as about as much as any of the passionate people that are replying to me need one. You know, the people that keep implying people are racist because they would prefer NFL players not kneel for the national anthem (look, Bill, no capitals!).. Protests are great. Choose the protests carefully though because some protests are more powerful and useful than others. I think kneeling for the national anthem is a poor form of protest. I do not really see this opinion as being super controversial and deserving of the kind of hatred I, and others have experienced. And, yes, I think being called/implied a racist is hateful. I cannot be more clear on this, but I think it has been lost by all of the responses

Please talk football here and create another thread if needed.

And, for the record, I am FOR school desegregation because somehow that became a topic here.
