you tried to say the offense/QB cannot function without Hopkins. You were wrong.
No I wasn’t. You’re speaking to an adjustment Kingsbury made with a back up that he was unwilling to employ with Murray.

Now you have gotten to the root of the problem, Murray should be spending his time getting that idiot fired.

Maybe we need another slave comparison because I'm sure the slaves had a CBA and a say in how it was constructed.

THAT was comedy gold.....and sad at the same time.

You can go ahead and get the last word. Hopefully this was a late April Fool's gig by you and, if so, ya got me.
I’m sorry that you don’t have the depth to understand how an analogy works. I invoked that analogy to point out the innate discrepancy inside of what is just and what is legal. I purposefully used a dramatic comparative to establish that point as all in 2022 can see the discrepancy through the example of a difference between that which is just and that which is legal. The system has made it “legal” for ownership to regularly go back on their word and not honor what they’ve promised to honor. It’s disingenuous to lean on legalities when those legalities create an unjust system to begin with. Are you under the impression that I used my example to establish that NFL players are slaves? That was not the intent at all and that should be clear to all who understand how analogies work.

you've never struggled to understand it but said the team is not honoring the contract when they release and don't pay their player?

As to the other part, again, I really hope you are just messing with us.

lol

Nothing says surrender like applying the "slave argument" to a professional athlete.

Another guy who can’t handle an analogy

lol

Another guy trying to defend a point that he'swrong about using a stupid, nonsensical analogy and then trying to claim others "don't understand" when it's pointed out the analogy is stupid and nonsensical.

What a slap in the face to actual slaves. :L

Stay inside your safe box of limited thinking. It’s safe there. My analogy was clear to begin with and I offered another post providing further context to the analogy. It’s cool you don’t get it. That’s evident in your closing statement about it being a slap in the face to actual slaves. That’s evidence of you taking something that is clearly provided in a figurative sense and attempting to dismiss that by reducing it to the literal. No biggie tons of people do that.

Keep making nonsensical "analogies" that diminish real slavery just to try to save a failed narrative...it's great look for you. :thumb:
The only way I’ve “diminished” real slavery is if someone is so limited that they can’t wrap their head around the purpose and intent of an analogy and they take the statement literally. This isn’t a me problem.

Stephon Gilmore to Indy.

2 years and 23 mill....14 mill guaranteed.
Seems like a bargain unless Gilmore’s skills have diminished. I didn’t follow his season closely last year. But in my mind he’s still one of the best corners in the league

When you are comparing someone who makes millions of dollars a year to play a sport to being a slave, you are diminishing real slavery.

Trying to use it as an analogy to save your failed narrative doesn't change that.

And ftr, you're not nearly as smart as you try to give yourself credit for, so you can drop that bullshit.

@trojanfan12

How's your shatterizer treating you? Called multiple bong shops in town and nobody carries them around here.

Went to my dispensary this morning and picked up 2 grams of shatter- Training Day (indica) & Bro G (indica-leaning hybrid).

I'm all set for 4/20.

I like it. I ordered mine online. Haven't seen it in any collectives or smoke shops.

Slaves didn't make millions of dollars and have 5-8k square foot mansions where they could house their family.

No wonder I can't find that devise anywhere. Didn't realize you got it on line.

Nope. Didn’t do that. I crafted an analogy to point out the difference between a standard of what is just vs a standard of what is legal. The only way what you’re accusing me of is applicable is if the analogy is taken literally. Analogies aren’t designed to be taken literally.

Good thing I didn’t call NFL players slaves.

Does the NFL respect the contract with guaranteed money? I’m very pro player when it comes to NFL contracts. They regularly get out of their commitments when it’s in the best interest of the front office.

His rookie contract was fully guaranteed. He's also making more than $5M if you count the signing bonus in his annual rate (total of $11.4M this year is his cap hit). His 5th year option for 2023 is $29.7M.
