I thought personal attacks were off limits, or do the rules not apply to those in power, or do you hold yourself to a lower standard? Or are the rules not really rules but some subjective application of whatever you are feeling at any given point in time?

You've stepped in it this time. Take a deep breath and walk it back a bit. 

You think you're so clever.  And such a big boy trying to push me.  Guys like you are common.

That's how she feels.

And sadly, for the feelers out there, that doesn't make her correct.  Or you.

Emojis are weak and we can’t add gifs like we used to now that the board has changed.

Thanks for informing me!

I hear we are leaving the AAC to join the CFL, this is still developing so obviously I can’t reveal my sources or details but I can reassure you they are as reliable as Yodas.

So make a counter argument - back up your point of view. Instead you delete posts and just shout "You're wrong". If you can't articulate your position then its nothing more than noise. You never know you may change my point of view and the point of view of others, if you can make a case. You've done it before.

Here are student-athletes' perspective on this topic from the Duke Chronicle titled "It looks alot like slavery": Black athletes share thoughts on playing for 'white entertainment'

Brad, are they wrong for feeling this way?

 

'It looks a lot like slavery': Black athletes share thoughts on playing for 'white entertainment' - The Chronicle

Four Duke student-athletes explored the unique experience of living as a black...

 

Come on man...what's the best case scenario in provoking Brad/others like this? If you shout loud enough and produce enough news articles, everyone will just step back and think 'wow, BryBull really changed me'? Calling college athletics 'slavery' is offensive to slaves (all slaves from all nationalities). Saying athletics of any kind of 'white entertainment' is putting a very slanted connotation because athletics are just as much white entertainment as black entertainment as any other people's entertainment. Also, if someone doesn't want to be part of it...they can just, ya know, not play.

Bry, it ain't working.  They can "feel" anyway they want.  You can "feel" anyway you want.  No one is shouting.  No posts deleted.  You think you have something, you don't - outside of a radical notion based on some flimsy articles and quotes.

My counterpoint is you obviously define slavery differently than most do.  You call the NCAA a criminal enterprise, but somehow they aren't charged with any crimes.  It's sort of a funny runaround, which is why it's meaningless and has nothing to do with expansion.

Now if you would have replied this way initially, instead of deleting posts then we could have gotten here quicker. 

Thanks for your guidance.  If anyone here serves a model for proper decorum and protocol, we can all agree it would be you.  Lastly, none of your posts are deleted.  Stop misinforming.  They, in fact, are moved from a separate thread (as you were suggested to lead) to this thread for all to enjoy.
