Brian Flores has filed a class action lawsuit against NY Giants/NFL

Guys it's okay. Biden fixed our centuries long dilemma regarding racial inequality

I seriously thought this was an article from The Onion

Because it’s 100% true

I am not saying Flores is right and I am not saying Flores is wrong, but if he can demonstrate in court that he's right, it is an actionable offense.

Taking wagers right now

Would be pretty funny if McCown sued Houston for discrimination.

To be honest, I don’t think McCown is available in 36 months. As someone mentioned, he has long been extremely highly regarded for his football mind and ability to lead - I can’t remember who but one BO poster in this thread said it was like having an extra OC both in the locker room and on the field. Is he the next best thing? Who knows...but someone is gonna give him a shot sooner than later...

Not surprised. In San Francisco certain people can make $300 a month for not shooting another person. How do they know that you didn’t shoot anyone you ask? The honor system of course!

I saw that earlier today and I had to do a double take. What is this world coming too.

[SaintsFan4Life]

Flores’ attorneys Douglas H. Wigdor and John Elefterakis released the following statement in response to Smith being hired over their client, according to CBS Sports:

Mr. Flores is happy to hear that the Texans have hired a Black head coach, Lovie Smith, as Mr. Flores’ goal in bringing his case is to provide real opportunities for Black and minority candidates to be considered for coaching and executive positions within the NFL. However, we would be remiss not to mention that Mr. Flores was one of three finalists for the Texans’ head coach position and, after a great interview and mutual interest, it is obvious that the only reason Mr. Flores was not selected was his decision to stand up against racial inequality across the NFL.
Do Flores’ attorneys really think this is a wise strategy to help their client? Do they really think attacking the Texans for hiring a different black coach is a wise idea?

It seems very stupid, especially when there’s no proof on the table other than their own perceptions of the situation.

Hey, couldn't Biden be sued by those who want to be on the Supreme Court because he said he's only nominating a black female, others be damned?

You should be banned, for thinking this article has anything to do with race, or Biden fixing inequality.

For years the government has given out free syringes to drug addicts. They started to do that, to stem the AIDS pandemic. Has nothing to do with Biden.

And the safe zones are not new. Its an attempt to keep people out of dangerous neighborhoods and crack houses.

People are going to do illegal drugs. That is nothing new. Neither is the government stepping in to try to quill the harm. Its not like Biden is handing out crack. The US has way more money into programs to help and rehabilitate drug addicts, then this program.

But I guess that isn't sensational enough to make headlines in the UK like this part of it.

The only part that has to do with race, is addressing the fact that African Americans are much more likely to do crack. And anything to help stem that, is addressing racial inequality

“Black Americans, who make up 12.2% of the population,” CJPF continues, “account for 37% of crack users, meaning that they are 3.5 times more likely than whites to be regular crack users.”

As I mentioned above, what Flores’ attorneys are accusing the Texans of is something that Flores can sue them over (or, more likely, add on to their current lawsuit).

It is not uncommon for a plaintiff to throw everything they can against the wall and hope that just one thing sticks. It would not be surprising to see the original suit amended to include this new complaint.

Flores arguably has a legit point. I am not necessarily saying the Texans would have hired him to be their HC, but if it weren’t for the lawsuit, someone probably would have offered him a job on some coaching staff in the League (in fact, if the League is wise, they’ll make sure that that happens).

It literally says racial equity in the title lol. The grass is green...nope nope its red

Not sure if you work or not...dunno don't care. But I for one, worked a 40 hour week and 16 hours overtime a week or so ago. And they took about half of my money in taxes. My taxes are going to give people crack pipes. Tell me this doesn't piss you off even just a little bit?

Nope these types of lawsuits only work in one direction. Like one of those 2 way mirror type things where people monitor taste testing studies.

For me, in a word, no, it really doesn't piss me off spending 30 million on clean crack pipes, because that is basically nothing compared to 780 billion a year on defense, not to mention the trillions more spent in the Middle East the last twenty years.

I didn't post any misinformation. And your link to the 1985 drug cartel looks interesting! But has nothing to do with race or the current spending bill on reducing risks with drug users.

It sure did! Click bait titles from tabloids often do that. What it didn't say, was your hot take of " Biden fixed our centuries long dilemma regarding racial inequality"

Look, I get it, your twice impeached candidate didn't win. But there is no need to slander Biden over everything you don't agree with it.

Yes I work. And no, it does not piss me off. Its sad, that we have to do these things. But just like decriminalizing weed in places, or making gambling legal in others. Sometimes its better to regulate and try to control social issues, then just do nothing at all and hope it takes care of itself.

I'd rather have a junkie not share a needle, and spread disease in my city. I'd rather they shoot up someplace controlled, then hiding in a park where my kids play. Or wander into a crack house that just perpetrates more violence.

Of course, I'd rather have no drugs and no need for these programs. But since that isn't going to happen, I'd rather do this, then have our government turn a blind eye.

How about a 2022 Midterms political thread Houdini?

I'll make a $1,000 donation to a charity of your choice, in your name if you open up a thread and another $1,000 donation if that thread stays open thru mid-November.

Comon ... you know you wanna.

Just take it to the Seneca Wallace thread. The mods rarely go there anyway.
