I heard Shariff say he “sees right through this dude’s shenanigans”. So my question is, why don’t they ask him about it? That would be an epic interview. JS is so full of himself he will never accept the truth about what people think about him.
It goes back to that whole “shut up and dribble” mantra people want these athletes to leave by. Just shut up and tackle. People get afraid when they see a athlete stand for himself and think for himself. They want them to just bash their heads in every Sunday while we sit and enjoy it from our couch.


It’s sad. But get your money Jaylen.

I didn’t say that but I am getting a kick out of you crying victim about privilege in regards to this issue. How ironic lol.
You didn't have to say "privilege" to talk about it. And I never claimed to be the victim in this. I'm getting a kick how you keep switching back and forth between a strawman argument and exaggerated accusation to deflect from your inability to make a cogent counterpoint.

So, Jaylon's charity focuses on promoting entrepreneurship for minorities? How nice. :rolleyes: That's about as righteous as a charity that promotes finding service dogs for only white veterans with PTSD.

This kind of post is what we tend to see from posters who are more interested in soap opera than football. Hell, even if we think Smith is being a little self serving, so what? If he helps people, and it is an off the field interest, what the hell does it matter?

So if chiefs lose Sunday is that Mahommes fault for doing commercials?
I care about their play on the field
I care about illegal activity off the field
I don’t care if they use their position to make money for themselves, charities or anything else
How can you even make that comparison?
Mahommes had an MVP season and played his heart out in every game he was in.

The same cannot be remotely said about Smith.

And celebrating while other player are injured and your team is getting their *** kicked.

It speaks to more of that lack of self awareness so many of us see. Hopefully the new asst head coach can speak to and get through to guys like Smith.
My feelings exactly, well said.

Yeah fine you are tough. Good for you. If you read in here you will know I can’t stand LVE’s grandstanding either.
Do you hate when EVERY SINGLE WR in the game signals first down after a catch? Players celebrate for routine plays all the time. Nobody cares, get over it.

Seal teams have been using condoms to waterproof gun barrels for years. And when it's time for action, you can shoot right thru them.

I have the same problem operating in the bedroom with my life giving 45.

I don’t. I do hate celebrating when your team is down double digits in the 4th Q. They do it a lot in Dallas.

Don’t confuse a variety of interests for a lack of commitment

Jaylon being all about Jaylon is a meme at this point. I wouldn’t get too worked up about it.

He’s trying to make a difference and use his platform to improve people’s lives. Nothing negative about that.

I know we would often like for these young men to do nothing but live in a one-bedroom adjacent to the practice facility and lift, eat right and study film with maybe a few hours a day to play video games, but that’s not a life and it’s not realistic.

It will be ok

I agree. You only see one minuscule portion of someone’s life, I can assure you it’s not enough to judge them by. I get frustrated when he celebrated and we’re getting our tails kicked, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have good intentions. That might be how he gets motivated or maybe he’s just trying to light a fire under the defense

You think you are clever. You’re trying to race bait me into getting benched but I’m not giving you the satisfaction. Like I said above, all you can do is cry and get over it. Charities that benefit minorities are a small potion of charities in this country. Nobody has time for fake outrage.

That's really nice of you to assign me motivation for expressing my own observations. You seem to think I oppose charities that benefit minorities when nothing is further from the truth. It's as though we are having this conversation but rather than listening to what I'm actually saying you hear what you want to and jump to conclusions that have nothing to do with what I am saying. I'm talking about equality but you hear race-baiting. I think that is just sad. :(

LOL.

The fact you got pissy because Smith was helping minorities and not white people kind of outs you, dude. Most people that truly care about "equality" wouldn't get chapped over such a thing.

Pissy? I'm pointing out how when minorities claim to want equality but then don't give it to others is wrong. That calls me out? It calls you out for not seeing the hypocrisy.

You are not really helping your case here.

Minorities want equality but the reality is that minorities still are at a disadvantage in many ways in this country. Including in areas of business. Hence why you see foundations like this that try to help minorities.......... they are simply created to try to give minorities an opportunity to get to the same level as whites.

This is all pretty basic stuff and anyone who spouts what you spout really isn't really cared about equality. You are simply ranting because you want to rant. And to get on Smith for this is chuckleworthy.

Bless you, brother. I'm not your enemy and I'm not trying to make any case. It's just my opinion. You can agree or disagree with it. Whatever.
