Ohio State NY Jets fan Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 LOL - yea, the rant was not that bad, not cool for Jets fans to call him a bust and he had an interesting point that Trump said what he wanted on twitter and still got elected (guess Lee will be running for president) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mogglez Posted January 27, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2017 We live in a day and age where young athletes, particularly young African American athletes, are more outspoken on social issues than they were in the past. Especially with the racial tension that has ripped our society up becoming more and more of an issue. A large part of that has to do with Twitter and various forms of social media being mainstays in our modern day society. Darron has the same rights and freedoms that all of us do. Disagreeing with him doesn't make him a dick. I've been following the rant all morning. The only ones being dicks are the people who disagree with him politically and have decided to take their own feelings and beliefs a little too seriously...I say this as someone who DOES disagree with Darron politically. If I were him, I probably wouldn't engage them at all...but I can't tell the dude what to do and he sure as hell isn't the first athlete to engage with his fans this way (negative AND postive), nor will he be the last. His play is what we should be focused on and that time will come next year. Don't sh*t on a guy for exercising his rights...even IF he ends up as nothing more than a disappointment, he still has a right to voice his opinion (short of saying he supports genocide). TL,DR: I'm sure this will turn into a 10+ page on why Darron Lee is the son of Satan, but this isn't a big deal. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munchmemory Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Get off Twitter and go gain some weight. Scones followed up by a six egg bacon omelette with a heap of home fries sounds like a good pre-breakfast. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because when you're 23 no matter what color you are you have no fukcin' idea what life for anyone, lest it be you or anyone else, is all about.Get back to us when you've been smacked around a few decades. And he is still too small to cover TEs and backs. Darron, instead of being a pretentious fool and presumptuous knave, get thee to the weight room forthwith. The average NFL career is 3 years. It's a lot shorter if you do not take a daily interest in staying. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A wise man once said " I may not like what you have to say, BUT I WILL DEFEND TO THE DEATH YOUR RIGHT TO SAY IT". Those used to be word's to live by and should still be. You cannot only give certain freedoms to those we agree with. The very essence of the term Freedom of Speech is just that. The freedom for all people to voice their opinions whether you agree with them or not. Giving voice to these opinions is Darron Lee's right. Whether you agree with them is your business and your right. Belittling someone who has a different opinion than yours demeans the both of you. Even though I disagree with some of what this guy is saying I respect his right to voice them. So should We all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
