Check yourself ,Bud.
I didn’t edit two words out of a quick cut and paste and you’ve spent the whole day twisting yourself into a pretzel because you can’t admit you called me on a mistake and I copped to it.
Everything else is bullshit and you know it.
I made a mistake by posting a cut and paste pull quote from an article illustrated by the subject of said quote.
Everyone with an inkling of the subject knows Kaepernick has been out of the league for three years but yeah, I tried to ‘pull a fast one’ by captioning the post in past tense just to be misleading.
BTW
Michael Sam should have taken the Oprah money.
I never said you edited anything.
What you did, when I challenged your post as potentially misleading, was admit your data posted as "current" was actually from 2016.
It portrayed a misleading narrative.
And all I did was call you out on it.
And you got defensive and then accused me of challenging you because of racism.
Which as we both know is bullshit.
Seems you choked on the pretzel of pride rather than simply admit your subterfuge.
Get over it.
I am.
Speaking of getting over it
If Sam wanted to achieve his dream of being a pro football player and having a pro career he should have thanked Oprah for her interest but turn her down and try out for the team like everyone else. No special camera crews and reporters interfering with the team or others players as they tried to make the Rams as they prepared for the season. He took some very bad advice, which he finally understood upon some reflection.
Its unfortunate that you remain short-sighted as to what's really important.
pleasure as always trying to set you straight my black brother.
Dude, I forgot to edit “this week” from the quote. When you pointed out how you took it I said it was from 2016.
What does all the rest of this shit mean?
I captioned the original post with you HAD your chances. Protest peacefully it’s shut up and dribble... and here we are. That was my intent and with the exception of an admitted mistake those were my actions.
You taking it way around the bend. You tend to do that.
You still think America loved King as much as you?
Where the fuck is Michael Sam? Giving motivational speeches? Writing a book?
The bad advice he took was backing out of the deal with Oprah. He takes the deal and he is still making money and in today’s culture he is a fucking star.
He keeps his identity to himself he gets drafted in the mid rounds is a pass rushing beast and he make a squad, has a decent career comes out near the end and goes into Out type media and with his looks and demeanor he gets crossover work.
He comes out before the draft and there is no way in hell he makes a roster not then not ever.
He couldn’t work like everyone else because he wasn’t/isn’t like anyone else. NFL is about money.
As is Hollywood. Once he backed out of the deal he was done. “Whoa! You left OPRAH hanging? You have an agent? Fire him. You can’t pay a percentage of nothing, with nothing and that’s what you got, dig?”
No, Oprah didn’t blackball him he made himself poison, who would hire him and for what? Breaking a contract?
Do you still think America loved King as much as you and your family?
you always have to try and set me straight on shit that go beyond your frame of reference.
That’s some arrogant ass superiority thing,
All because I left in “this week” in a quote from an article that was obviously about peaceful protest being rejected.
You do you, Banksie.
Don’t ever change.
Knicks you started your post in a week dominated about protests with "this week". A reasonable person would have read your post with no mention of Kap and assume your poll #s dealt with current events.
And I politely asked if in this week of protests, whether your post and poll #s wasn't misleading.
You then posted the data was from 2016.
So de facto you acknowledged my observation was on target, and your post was misleading.
But then you made a 2nd mistake, rather than just own your mistake you decided to get defensive and accuse me of attacking you for some reason related to race.
And we both know that's bullshit.
I assumed you were man enough to own your mistake.
there was no malice, just an observation about a misleading post.
But you weren't man enough to man up and admit a mistake.
Son, I won't make that mistake again any time soon.
As for Sam, what you never seemed to grasp was there was no Oprah money for Sam.
the Rams told him to make a choice; try out for the team just like any other rookie or take a hike.
Show up with your cleats and no cameras no Oprah and give it your best shot to make the team and live your dream.
And Sam realized there was not going to be a reality TV show on Oprah dime on the Ram's time.
Oprah understood it too.
But you never got it. Then or now.
Whats sad is that year's after we had this discussion you want to re-argue it.
Here's a tip knicks, get over this too, at this point you're just looking obstinate, and frankly pretty fucking ignorant.
