    Personally, I don't give a rats ass about Cleveland baseball.  I'm a Yankees fan.  And I stopped watching baseball lots of years ago.  Waaay too boring.  I'd rather watch golf...or go mow the lawn, or play my guitar, or.......

    Yes,  no, yes, yes, yes, yes, no, yes, and yes. I sometimes play my old acoustic Martin.

    I come here solely for the Browns.  But I'll say this, What the hell was wrong with the name Indians?  They were a proud peoples, living off the land.  Lets just throw them in the historical shitter and never speak of them again.  Stupid.  Redskins, well, I can understand.  -  Next, cows are up in arms about the name Cowboys.  And the dairy farmers are standing up for the cows.  Lets change the Dallas Cowboys name too so there will be no more Cowboys & Indians.  

    Everything there except for the first sentence is a big no. Those analogies always drive me nuts.

    In the first place Cowboys, Vikings, Raiders, or animals  are not a race or an ethnicity, so it's quite easy to know where the line is drawn.

    So one way to "honor" black people is to have a black sambo caricature with a bone through his nose as a team logo?  Name the team the "Africans" or "Zulus" or some shit. After all, they too are a proud people that live off the land and chuck spears for a living.

    Taking this stance doesn't make you a faggot liberal btw. I am no white guilt liberal sitting atop some perch thinking I know whats best for others because it makes me feel good.

    With all that in mind, you may be surprised to know is that I am not in favor of name changes either. My feeling has always been that if a majority of Native Americans don't give a fuck, then I don't give a fuck about the Indians name or logo or what the fuck you name your team. I just don't know if it's a majority, and I don't think it is. 

    Never heard any Irish people complain about ND's nickname and that  Leprechaun logo, have you? So there ya go.

    I doubt any lib would take on that crusade anyway. Too white.

    And btw fuck the Guardians. Hate that name.

    Ask CJ, he is the one avoided certain people. Wouldn't want to upset the cult members.

    Speaking of avoiding, when will you answer the question as to why diversity is important? 

    What should be discussed is missing in this thread. You're just parroting a liberal cause because it makes you feel good about yourself.

    Putin is even playing the "cancel culture" card... can only help build up the support among morons in the states

    You can't have it both ways Woody.

    So you don't believe any of the below as well?... which by the way was written not by those you call morons, but rather those you side with.

    I wouldn't be going out on a limb to suggest that Putins main motive in invading Ukraine is to stop the infestation of Western influence culture with all it's wokeness diversity, and LBGT nonsense from moving into his neighborhood.

    In his mind there is no way to stop it, other than the way he is going about it, by funding extremism and an all out invasion.  Put two and two together. This why he declined any invitation to peace talks or compromise.

    Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine Wednesday night, far-right personalities have declared Russia a beacon of anti-wokeness and Putin a strong ethnonationalist. In their minds, Ukraine is just a corrupt pawn in a vast “globalist” conspiracy.

    Russia has also been courting—even funding—ultranationalist and neo-fascist movements for almost a decade. Kremlin-owned banks have reportedly lent money to far-right political movements in Europe, including Greece’s Golden Dawn, Italy’s Northern League, and France’s National Front. 

    In 2015, far-right extremists from the U.S., including a lawyer for the Ku Klux Klan, joined fringe right-wingers at the “International Russian Conservative Forum” in St Petersburg. During that conference, according to the New York Times, attendees and speakers fawned over Putin, celebrated his hard-line anti-LGBTQ stance, and railed against what they called “the degradation of white, Christian traditions in the West.” 

    While ultranationalists and “anti-globalists” (a phrase often containing antisemitic dog whistles) have an ideological affinity for Putin, their position doesn’t necessary hold true for the American far-right writ large. 

     

    Militant white supremacists and hardcore neo-Nazi accelerationists, who advocate violence to speed up the collapse of social order, are split on where their loyalties lie.

    Others, meanwhile, are cheering on Russia in the hopes that defeating Ukraine will destabilize NATO and imperil peace across Europe. 

    The 2014 annexation of the Crimean Peninsula by Russian forces turned the region into a playground for war tourists, mercenaries, and far-right extremists from around the world. An estimated 15,000 foreign fighters flocked to that conflict between 2014 and 2019, 3,000 of them siding with Ukraine, versus around 12,000 who sided with the Russian-backed separatists, according to a report by the Soufan Center. 

    Then there’s the Russian Imperial Movement, a white supremacist group designated as a foreign terrorist organization by both the U.S. and Canada. In 2014, they sent members to fight alongside pro-Moscow separatists. The following year, their leader, Stanley Vorobyov, participated in a conference of international far-right groups in St Petersburg, donated to the Nordic Resistance Movement (a Scandinavian neo-Nazi group) during a visit to Sweden, and took part in a right-wing extremist gathering in Madrid.

    Go to show you, you can make anything about white rage. 

    You reap what you sow bozo.

    Thats what you get when people like you believed that Jussie Smollette was attacked by Trump supporters, that Tawana Bradley was raped by a white boys lacrosse team,  that white racists hung a noose in black race car driver Bubba Wallaces garage, that white cops are evil,  that Mason Rudolph called Myles Garrett a n****r, that white milk is racist, that slavery was the white mans invention, that the NFL owners are slave owners and players are slaves, that Nick Sandmans behavior was racially motivated... need I go on?

    As a happy reminder, and a lesson to you assholes.

    Well I guess you want Thomas to step down. Because of his and his wife's activism. Being a douche like Kavanaugh doesn't disqualify you from being a SC justice. I wasn't on here crying about him or the religious nut they put in the court after him. But for you poor snowflakes, Jackson is the end of our country!!!!!  Non Cheetos Jesus, you cult member are sad. Funny, but sad.

     

    You really can't help being an idiot can you. . It's quite amusing.

    Right, yeah, that's why he's not facing pushback. Because he's black. 

    Because you know the united states, historically weak on black males in the legal system.....

    That's not a reason to stop letting blacks off the hook in 2022.

    In case your not aware, which you aren't because the "First Step Act"  Trump signed wasn't reported by The View.

    Sure, it's the end of our country, because someone you don't agree with is going to supreme court. That she is more than qualify for the job, doesn't matter to you cult members. She isn't part of your cult so it's the end of our country. 

     

     

    Being a judge does not automatically qualify for the job .  Thats why there are hearings. An activist for one side or the other is grounds for disqualification. 

    Unlike what you  demonrats tried to do with Kavanaugh,  we have put in front of your face VALID reasons why her record does not exemplify the character required to be on the  SCOTUS,  yet you'd rather just go with another display of narrowmindedness and ignorance and play the tired "its about race" race  song and dance.

    Sadly, your one track mind prohibited you from not even once considered the fact that if a black conservative leaning woman was nominated, that all of us here would be on board.

    How about you, yes or no? You'd be on board with a female black conservative leaning judge?

    It's not about race you moron.

    Amen.

    Though the Obama thing started legitimately as attempted conservative outrage but enough people found it hilarious enough that they repurposed it as a joke. Basically, conservatives were blaming Obama for so many things that it was getting ridiculous, so everyone else (or at least people in the middle) decided to roll with it as a joke. Like you said, something like Nickelback releasing a song was "thanks Obama", which was born out of the outrage from Obama wearing a tan suit. 

     

    You're right though, the rhetoric is getting ridiculous to borderline dangerous. Trump's biggest followers are called a cult because of the reactions you're pointing out. "Oh, you don't think Trump is the greatest president ever and you didn't vote for him? THEN THE GENOCIDE IN UKRAINE IS BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS!!!"

    Makes sense when you realize these are the same people storming the Capitol in his name, etc.

    I was recently thinking about the “thanks Obama” phenomenon during Obama’s presidency. My recollection was it was a fun and lighthearted way to poke fun at Obama.

    Oh damn, gas prices went up. Thanks Obama.

    Oh damn, Nickelback put out a new song. Thanks Obama.

    And fast forward to today where we have “THE BLOOD IS ON YOUR HANDS!!!”

    I’d say we’ve hit a new level on presidential critiquing. I suspect the proliferation of outrage porn has something to do with it. 

     

    If you two want to play that game, then lets go back to Bush. Lest we forget how he was blamed for everything.

    "It was Bush's fault" came to mean that Obama could do no wrong. You two forgot about that too I bet.

    What you two people are refusing to admit to is that the treatment of Trump was above and beyond what anyone any president before him had to deal with. It is a fact that the decision to impeach him was made prior to him placing his hand on the bible to take the Oath of Office. 

     From the time he took office the Democrats were committed to being obstructions and rendering his presidency illegitimate through bogus impeachments and a Russian collusion hoax.

    In the past three days, Brain Dead Biden has threatened to use chemical weapons against Russia, send the 82nd Airborne into the Ukraine, and remove Putin from power.
    All of which, his handlers and enablers have dismissed as, "not what he meant" when he said it.

    And guess who the media would have torn to shreds if he had said the same things.

    I can just hear it.

    "Irresponsible"!

    "Not fit to be president"!

    "WWIII now imminent"!

    "Impeach"!

    Yeah, you are a little lost. Where is the Constitution does it give us the rights to "pursuit of happiness"? Where is the Constitution does it give us the rights to "liberty"? Life it does talk about, it says the state can't take it away w/o due process. So when a Senator tweets what "rights" the Constitution gives, maybe she should read it first. 

     

     

    What does the Constitution say about life and liberty?
    .... No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws ..
     
    The constitutional guarantee that no person or class of persons shall be denied the same protection of the laws that is enjoyed by other persons or other classes in like circumstances in their lives, liberty, property, and pursuit of happiness.

    From 1823 forward, the phrase “pursuit of happiness” from the Declaration of Independence appeared in ninety-four United States Supreme Court cases. The pursuit of happiness was used by litigants to argue for everything from the right to privacy to the right to pursue one’s chosen occupation, and it was invoked by the Court to uphold the same. The most recent edition of Black’s Law Dictionary cites to that case law as it defines the pursuit of happiness as the “constitutional right to pursue any lawful business or activity . . . that might yield the highest enjoyment, increase one’s prosperity, or allow the development of one’s faculties.”1 While this definition reflects how the pursuit of happiness has been cited in Supreme Court case law from the 1820s forward, it does not tell us how the phrase was understood in its historical context.
