I’m definitely not an Eminem fan but can you not acknowledge the difference between song lyrics and emails sent to a work address? Eminem is also not leading men and he does not have a working relationship with Moby. I understand your consistency argument but context always matters.

One is private and the other is celebrated public idiocy?

He said Eric Reid should be fired and the comment about DeMaurice Smith was absolutely racial. If a Semitic trope would have been referenced, many less would plead ignorance.

I also have a feeling more is coming…

Al Sharpton has arrived, you haven’t met a racial issue that don’t happily parrot

Lol. He said someone should be fired? That is your ammo?

How was the Smith comment racial? He never mentioned a race?

If a NBA scouting report says a white player can’t jump well, is that racist?

He had a losing record with the raiders. 🤦‍♂️

Is that a reflection of the coach or the team as a whole? I personally feel he's overrated but a guy who has a championship ring isn't a failure, he's an upper echelon coach.

Right because publicly berating someone and hurling anti gay slurs at them to sell records, I agree it's different.... Much worse IMO, yet here the NFL is about to celebrate one at the biggest event of the year while blacklisting the other.

I'm not even upset Gruden is out, I have no dog in the hunt. The NFL does have some real integrity issues here. I'm like everyone else waiting on the other shoes to fall.

Self-righteous anger against people who have never done you any harm seems like the perfect way to change the world.

But I'm just an uninformed hick.

BV is projecting white guilt. The poster probably has been a bigot, a racist or both during their lifetime and is having a hard time understanding why everyone else doesn't feel like him/her. It's the I did it so everyone else had to do it too guilt trip.

Eminem is one of the few hip hop artists that has actually been called out for homophobia. I wonder why that is?

Ha fired bc no one in that locker room would ever trust him as a leader. That simple. The raiders organization is the biggest FU franchise in the league. They know they are screwed bc the players won't stand for it.

But that league will happily employ women beaters. Selective outrage.

Take 5 minutes and read the lyrics from Snoop Dogg's iconic album Doggystyle. Remember that this was a celebrated, award-winning release for public consumption with an obvious target of impressionable youth.

Anyone with a brain isn't going to argue the NFL isn't hypocritical. They are a poster for hypocrisy. Always have been, which is why this Gruden issue is so polarizing

It’s just absurd. Had he mentioned race, I’d be down with it. He didn’t, he made a disparaging remark against a particular person. People do it everyday. It isn’t right, but it is done.

Not sure moving to a society where you get this treatment for such a minor issue, is a good thing. And again, completely subjective and hypocritical.

Forget about the NFL for a moment, any organization would have fired an employee in a managerial role for sending out emails denigrating gay and female employees. That's not anything new to society

True. We’ve become a little too sensitive in my opinion. I’ve had plenty of non White not straight male coworkers, where we make fun of each other’s differences openly.

Happens to me all the time. This lady I work with was making fun of me because of my good looks. Too bad most of those old bags are ugly as sin and I can’t retort with the appropriate responses.

Of course those situations exist harmlessly. If you're a manager, you wouldn't send out emails to another manager disparaging those same guys. Surely you can see the difference in the two events.

In case you missed it, he wasn't a manager at the time. He wasn't even employed by the NFL at the time. So, where is the issue now?

A correlation coefficient is pretty much a continuum.
Overall, the money/happiness coefficient is about a 0.3 while most people function under the belief that it is about a 0.8.
It even becomes a negative for many.

Then why is your side obsessed with taking rich people's money?
