Journalist Jim Trotter sues league for discrimination, referencing incident with Jerry Jones

[stilltheguru]

You want to frame the argument in a particular way with the question and I reject the premise. You want it to seem because at no point has a NFL team cut a player and given kneeling as cause for the cut is meaningful. I was just saying that there were other indications.

You reject the premise? Then don't answer it especially since I didn't ask you in the first place.

You reject the premise? Then don't answer it

I didn't. I was addressing the premise itself.

You aren't arguing that the NFL actively discouraged players speaking out on the issue so it's all good.

all of this word salad instead of either answering directly like a man would or ignoring the question. Smh

 

[CowboyRoy]

Ok so where is the damage?

Another dumb lawsuit.

 

[erod]

Personally when I read this type of thing and see the field draped in the flag with F-18s flying overhead and all the other jingoist crap the NFL likes to force down our throats it bothers me.

Some people love this country and others just leech off of it and stare at their phones.

Your question has a premise, that premise is an assumption of the question. In this case you are making the assumption that because the NFL has never listed kneeling as a cause for a cut is meaningful. I am saying that it demonstrates nothing.

I guess if you want me to answer it directly I would say that the the NFL has never listed kneeling as a reason to cut a player but that does not mean they have not. Firms do it all the time to avoid all kinds of issues from EEO to workers comp to unemployment payments.

That is besides the point because the NFL including Jerry Jones himself actively discouraged the players speaking or acting out on the issue.

Givers and takers. Plain and simple

 

[nobody]

Proof or it didn't happen.

Huh? What is this false dichotomy all about?

you got it my guy

 

[calico]

We all know Jerry will go out in disgrace eventually when all his demons catch up to him. Like the clippers owner and snyder.

 

[HungryLion]

Apparently journalists and professional athletes don’t have jobs and pay taxes

 

[Doomsday]

How is stating an opinion a kin to discrimination?

Highlight examples of Jerry's actions that are discriminatory otherwise shut up.

 

[CowboyRoy]

Givers and takers. Plain and simple

QFT

Doesn't make it right, though

You could insert any name or group of people in their and it would still be the stone cold truth.

 

[CowboyRoy]

You know what? I did not even think about that. In my opinion, this would be the first realistic probable infraction (if true) that stood any remote chance of making that happen.

Wheres the infraction?

 

[ElGatoGrande]

In Jerry-speak that's the equivalent of, "It's my team, my business, quit trying to manipulate and force decisions upon me".

 

[DCreppinBoysfan]

Hopefully they get Jerry out like they did Snyder

Goin be hard to get Jerruh out the trenches. The cowboys are to him, what ring was to the Golum: his precious. Jerry said he can get a offer for two the value of the cowboys and he’s still object to selling the team

 

[DallasEast]

Wheres the infraction?

Wrong choice of words. Perhaps 'perceived misstep' would be a better descriptor.

 

[Sydla]

I mean that sounds exactly like something Jerry would say. He tends to get a little loose lipped, especially if he gotta a couple in him.

NBA is a completely different animal. There are several former NBA players who have ownership stakes. There is no way that the NFL with it's current ownership cabal will ever allow a player to have such a stake. Ballers was pure fantasy.
