Like, what is your point in all of this, awval? Looking at your posts it's unclear where you even disagree with liberals!

Liberal position:

awfal's position:

Yet dozens of posts on this subject, why?

(that's rhetorical, the answer is obvious: because awfal needs Kaep's blackballing to be justified and right)

Wanting to believe the blackballed grassy knoll conspiracy angle here means rejecting the fact that each NFL front office is filled with hyper competitive douchenuggets that would slit any other team's throats to gain an advantage on the field, tho. See Bountygate.

I do agree with you.

The NFL has a brand. It sells entertainment. The largest consumer of this entertainment is white American males aged 18-60.

It's a USA 'Merica Beer Ford Trucks draped in an American flag demo.

He's blackballed because the owners feel that he hurts their brand more than he brings any benefit as a #2 or #3 QB.

It's as simple as that.

Kneel during the national anthem and you are just as bad as the alt-right nazis...

And not only is he better than most 2nd stringers he's better than a couple of starting QBs but ohhhh the drama...

Interesting and seems to be partly or mostly true.

(Among others. I couldn't find market share of private v nfip.)

If he was better he wouldn't be blackballed.

He's just not that good to deal with all that drama.

awfal will ignore this post, tho, and argue with liberals instead, despite the fact that awfal has explicitly rejected the "he's not good enough" argument

Nice mental gymnastics..

From now on I will only watch football if Kaepernik is playing.

To be fair, coaches and the front office might be enmeshed in a super competitive sports environment but owners are just old rich white guys who bought an play thing for the most part. Also that "hyper competitiveness" has its limits

This, of course, is why collusion and blackballing have NEVER happened. In fact, it's weird we even have the word "blackballing" at all, given that Falcon has just PROVEN WITH LOGIC that the concept is irrational.

Weaksauce, bro. No one itt is making the argument that blackballing has never happened.

Branch Rickey introduced the competitive spirit into major league baseball.

But you just explained that there would be a competitive edge to NOT blackballing. How could that be?

This is what right wingers think free speech is. It's not free speech unless the government is literally clearing any opposition to your speech away by force.

Hiding behind the ACLU is a dick move. Pretty sure it's some kind of conspiracy to help discredit them.

As you may know, Australia is shortly to have a postal vote on whether to legalize gay marriage. When the prospect of this vote was raised, marriage equality advocates expressed concern that the tone of any debate would be distressing to gay people. Happily though, so far it's just entirely classy and respectful material like this, which appeared in a friend's letterbox:



"Gay marriage leads to authoritarian goverment" is a novel argument and I was excited to see what the examples were going to be. Let's see here.... "Canada, USA, New Zealand, Denmark, France, Ireland and Britain". Hmm. I mean, I think the argument could use some work.

I'm fairly sure a number of those people only have sex in missionary position and only do it when they're hankering for a baby.

If only they believed in in vitro fertilization, they'd never have to have sex at all!

Why do they put gay in quotes?

Falcon trying the old anarchocapitalist mainstay argument: look I don't deny it has happened historically, but is it LOGICALLY POSSIBLE arguing from priors?!

I always love the freaks they roll out who had same-sex parents and are against marriage equality. Like they would listen seriously to someone raised by a man and a woman who was all "I'd rather I'd had two dads, yo".

Because it's a nice and cheerful way of saying "homosexual", and cheer and niceness are their natural enemies.

Yeah, well, we legalized gay marriage in the US and look what happened to us.

Look at these drama queens
