I’m just talking about one in particular.” Who are the Jets PR people? wtf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klecko73isGod Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Sheldon Richardson is not entitled to an opinion? He didn't say anything controversial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt39 Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Why is he not allowed to speak his mind??? He can obviously say what he wants...creating a divide among the fans is all he's doing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faba Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 They have aright to speak their minds-right way and a wrong way to say it though- guess which one Sheldon uses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klecko73isGod Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 They have aright to speak their minds-right way and a wrong way to say it though- guess which one Sheldon uses I must be missing something. I don't see what Sheldon said as being outrageous in any way. He even went out of his way to specifically say he was only talking about the one cop. If that's the way he feels, that's the way he feels. It's not even like he's the only person in the world with that opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaBallhawk Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Let him talk, what do you give a sh*t? Just because he plays football doesn't mean he doesn't have a right to speak or voice his opinion. He's no different than me, you or anybody else, we all give our own 2 cents on anything we want. What makes it ok for you to comment on anything you want but he's not allowed to do it? Just stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faba Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Well when you call someone a pig- that is not controversial in of itself? duh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not even like he's the only person in the world with that opinion. I am sure Sheldon didn't fully illustrate how he feels. I would think a few key adjectives were left out. you know, for pr reasons. its just a bad choice of words and he comes off as being very disrespectful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's his opinion. If you read the whole article, Manish wrote it to come off as controversial as possible but if you read Sheldon's actual quotes, it's really tame and he comes off as fairly thoughtful overall.

KRL Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Richardson said nothing controversial and he has a right to speak his mind. If people refuse to see BOTH sides in the Michael Brown and Eric Garner cases this thread will get nasty. I respect the police forces of our nation and can only imagine what it feels like to be in a life and death situation. But as a black man our perception / reality in these cases is black people's lives do not matter. How is it that unarmed men repeatedly end up dead in interactions with the police and no one ever finds the police guilty of doing wrong??? If the roles were reversed I know that wouldn't be the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im with you. I disagree whole heartedly with Sheldon but defend his right to speak. His clarification of targeting the ONE officer shows he was thinking.

The Crusher Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Sheldon comes off as a pretty emotional guy. He plays that way. If he feels the need to use his status to put his opinion out there then he will be judged for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
