Please start a Storm Thread in Chit Chat where it belongs, I know everything with you has a political bent and always comes around to focusing on you and N.C.
NFL not expected to implement new national anthem policy this season
- Thread starter Tony Stark
- Start date
Nine_Enders attack is purely political -- he asserted the following in a single sentence referencing the storm:
- North Carolina is a poorly managed state.
- Climate Change is related to the storm.
- North Carolina has rising ocean levels which are significant.
- The state has issues with a mere category one storm
I take it you don't like dealing with facts, eh?
Half the audience is talking, laughing, or going to get something to eat or just sitting. Who cares if the players are also not standing. Most of them are only pumping themselves up to go and hit someone else as hard as they can.
Yo may as well be talking facts about Dungeons and Dragons.
Nine_Ender was called out on his bullshiat almost a week ago and yet no response when the facts are presented. Same story over and over again.
Not to worry... I am sure that Nine_Ender, exGOPer, and Tony will be back to call me a liar and other names. That's about all they got. They can't deal with facts.... much less read articles which contain facts.
And now the Carolina Panthers have this idiot as their owner.
Panther tickets are now showing up on GroupOn / Fanxchange at a steep discount after his absurd comments.
The Carolina's --- even in the middle of a hurricane -- are not going to put up with this nonsense which offends many of the military & former military members here. Many people are urging the new idiot owner to move his team elsewhere as soon as possible.
NFL Owner Rips Trump for Criticizing Anthem Protesters
https://www.breitbart.com/sports/2018/09/13/nfl-owner-rips-trump-for-criticizing-anthem-protesters/
Dave Tepper has not been an NFL owner for a very long time. However, he’s wasted no time letting everyone know where he comes down on the issue of NFL anthem protests.
Tepper, the billionaire businessman and hedge fund manager who purchased the Panthers in the offseason, decried President Trump’s rants against the protesters as “the biggest bunch of bull-dinky ever.”
According to the New York Post:
NFL players are the ‘most patriotic people’ in the country — with substantial charitable contributions to their local communities, Tepper said in an interview on CNBC.
Tepper did not mention Trump by name but at one point in the interview referred to the red-headed man in Washington.
During the interview, the hedgie recited the Pledge of Allegiance, calling its words among the most patriotic things he knows and it being what America is about. Tepper emphasized during his pledge the words, ‘and justice for all.’
In a nod to the social justice cause NFL players claim to be protesting for, Tepper said the national anthem during his interview, placing special emphasis on the words, “and justice for all.”
This is hardly Tepper’s first foray into politics. Just prior to the 2016 election, the founder of Appaloosa Management blasted both Hillary Clinton and then-candidate Trump.
“You have one person with questionable judgment and the other person may be demented, narcissistic and a scumbag. Not saying which one’s which. You can make your own decision on that,” Tepper explained in October 2016.
The protest movement launched by former 49er Colin Kapernick, is entering its third year.
Kaepernick filed a collusion grievance against the NFL earlier this year alleging that the league’s owners had conspired under pressure from President Trump, to keep him out of the league. The former 49er’s legal team won their summary judgment case against the league last week, meaning that the case can now proceed to the trial phase.
The NFL changed their anthem policy in May, requiring all players on the field to stand and show respect during the playing of the Star-Spangled Banner. However, the NFLPA filed a grievance against the league, accusing the NFL of not including them in the decision making process. The NFL then suspended the enforcement provisions of the new rule, until the two sides could come to a compromise on a new rule.

NFL's Eric Reid Signed By Panthers Despite Kneeling Controversy
Eric Reid -- who filed a collusion grievance against the NFL -- has just signed a 1-year contract with the Carolina Panthers, the team announced.
Reid was widely considered one of the best free agent safeties on the market -- but he believed he was being blackballed, like Colin Kaepernick, for taking a knee during the national anthem at NFL games.
Eric and Colin were teammates on the 49ers. They're still good friends and are using the same lawyers -- Mark Geragos and Ben Meiselas -- to go after the NFL for collusion.
Reid is a former Pro Bowl safety who racked up 67 tackles and 2 interceptions last season -- and many believe he should have easily gotten a roster spot in 2018 based on his talent.
Reid, 6'1" and 215 pounds, played the first five seasons of his NFL career with the San Francisco 49ers after being selected by the team in the first round (18th overall) of the 2013 NFL Draft.
“Eric has been a starting safety in the NFL and has played at a high level throughout his career," Panthers GM Marty Hurney said.
"After we put (safety) Da’Norris Searcy on injured reserve, Ron (Rivera) and I discussed our options, and Eric was at the top of our list. He is a physical safety with good ball skills and play-making ability."
Reid is already at the team facility
Just more evidence that the Carolina Panthers will be moving when their stadium contract ends in 2019.
Locally we will all cheer the move under the new owner.
It will hurt NC while he will move to a new city and probably build a new stadium making the team much more valuable.
The old piece of shit racist owner made it a condition of the sale that Tepper couldnt remove his statue from in front of the stadium,that problem would also be solved
