SignUp Now!The question is what does it have to do with the game? Nothing. Shock value statement that got him suspendedIt’s a statistical fact that there are a lot of illegal immigrants entering El Paso right now - truth is more important than your feelings
Ok, so having a game in SF after a recent earthquake, which gained mention during a game broadcast, is any different? Please explain that to me.The question is what does it have to do with the game? Nothing. Shock value statement that got him suspended
He threw in his political beliefs because he had the platform to do so. Unfortunately, he miscalculated and it backfired to a certain extent.Ok, so having a game in SF after a recent earthquake, which gained mention during a game broadcast, is any different? Please explain that to me.
The illegal immigrant crisis in El Paso is worse than the tremor SF went through in that instance.
I don't know how you could even talk about El Paso right now without getting into the crisis they are being hit with.
I don't think recognizing a humanitarian crisis is political and I pity us if it has come to that.He threw in his political beliefs because he had the platform to do so. Unfortunately, he miscalculated and it backfired to a certain extent.
To me this looks like cancel culture at its most subtle point, you (a teacher) pointing out that you might get hurt if you speak your mind. Many a young man died in the history of this country for speaking their minds. Others succeeded and changed the course of history.It amazes me how ridiculous some people sound. I don’t know if they are trying to add spice to what they say, or if they really are that stupid.

I am pretty sure most of them hear it at home.

He didn't need context because most folks are informed and know there is a crisis, involving illegal aliens, ongoing in El Paso. The Sun Bowl will be played . . what . . a mile from where illegals are dying? Sleeping on the street during 10 degree weather has bad results.There was no context as far as I know.

If he did more than that to actually recognize it than please enlighten me

And he was suspended for this. America needs a big giant tampon.
