much better suited there. I know it may kill the convo but it didn't have a place where we are discussing football.

Im more than glad to have the discussion there

WHY? That thread was totally respectful and educational for both sides of the aisle. Did what's his name piss and moan to you again?

Why don't you have a politics forum here? Shouldn't there be a place to discuss the current political landscape? I think so.

I moved it bc it's a football forum and we're discussing what we think can solve the the racial divide in this country. Someone who's here for football can be turned off by it. I know they can choose to ignore it and you will call me a "pussy" but that's how I feel. If there's a chance someone could get offended by something being said here, it's unnecessary. Off topic area is a fine place for it.

I do do agree with you that everyone was being respectful. that is probably the most respectful I've seen most people be on this forum. I appreciate it. I know it's a grenade of a topic.

I enjoy reading everyone's point of view regardless of the topic.

OK, now i kinda feel like a dick for suggesting this thread be moved to the OT lounge..

especially given how respectful everyone was being.. ironically, i acknowledged as much in the thread itself..

Who is what's his name supposed to be??? Please don't tell me you're referring to me because I just stop totally in commenting on the thread. I didn't piss and moan to anyone and never did!!!

Note: Yes I'm assuming your referring to me because it appeared to me that I was the only one debating with everyone on the thread. Yes it was respectful to a certain extent. Except for me and Bigmoe but he truly pissed me off. So I had to get back at him but everyone else it was respectful (I'm guessing) as can be on a topic like this.

Pretty cool conversation that was germane to football and sports in general and yes can spark emotional and political fire in all of us. To the folks that posted though it was one of the best and most civil conversations I've seen so far on the topic. Nice work to all. Too bad the media and Washington can't follow suit. jets82 while I didn't agree with everything you said you did open some eyes...

Jets82, it could have just easily been me he is referring to, but that's fine. I didn't even know there was a thread about the subject...but I agree that it is off topic. This should be about the play on the field..the politics off of it, before the game etc. can and should be discussed civilly, but in a different forum. That's my view.

I'm not quite sure why you think it would be you if you didn't know there was a thread on the topic. That's telling that you didn't post any comments on it but maybe your referring to another issue I'm not aware of. Either way, we as Jets fans we worked through it and that's all that mattered. Would be nice if the world could work through it also and solve all of our issues.

I was referring to a related issue - keeping politics in another forum. Totally agree- I wish the rest of the world could have a civil discourse and agree to disagree when necessary.

What in the world are you talking about? I was absolutely NOT referring to you. I respect you along with everyone else on this board. I may not always agree with the views of everyone here, but I still respect everyone.

I was referring to someone who already knows it was directed toward him.

And Elias, not once did I ever call you a pussy. That's a lie.

Even if you did, it's cool. We all have a love-hate relationship with each other. At the end of the day, we're all Jets fans on this small board.

Well, if I had, I have no idea why it would be cool? If I had my own board, there's no god damn way anyone would disrespect me that way and get away with it?
