Popular Post Warfish Posted June 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2020 We live in some seriously wonky times right now. There is alot going on out there, COVID, Unemployment, Race Relations, Politics, and about a bajillion other things. All of which incites our passions, opinions, and minds to want to talk about it. It also, it has to be said, stresses alot of us out, alot. We're living in some stressful times right now. Wanting to talk about that stuff is natural and understandable. Hell, many of you know I was one of JI's most active posters in the cesspool that was the Politics Sub-Forum. But here at JN, Max, god bless him, has been pretty clear that this site is a "no politics" zone. And that has always included all the various socio-economic and socio-political issues of the day. We all know this. We all know the rules here. Please....lets all do Max, and our great Moderator team (and Crusher), a favor and do a little bit of self-policing on our posts, threads and topics. There are an almost infinite number of better suited places online to talk about all these issues of the day in more topic-specific and topic-appropriate locations. This forum is a place to talk football (which incites our passions more than enough as it is). It can and often is also a safe space (and I don't use that phrase pejoratively) for us to get away from all the stresses of day to day and regular life. To talk something we love, but is ultimately just entertainment, the NFL and the Jets. Lets do what Max asks. Lets keep JN a place to get away from all the craziness, to be friends (who agree or disagree on football) here to share our collective love and passion for the infuriating and beloved New York Jets. Max has been really patient about it, but I can tell, he's had his fill. And we don't want to lose members over this. I'm not a mod, and I'm not trying to be one. I just wanted, as just another poster, to ask my fellow posters to show a little restraint, hard as hell as that can be at times like this. Lets revel in our shared love, shared humanity, in these trying times. /steps off soapbox. Sorry for that, but I felt it was needed. Negrep me if it helps you de-stress 12 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post T0mShane Posted June 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2020 I will grind my political and cultural enemies into dust beneath the heels of my boot. To whit, the most offensive content on this website this year was the @RutgersJetFan post predicting that the Snyder cut of Justice League would be any good. Still enraged by it, tbh 2 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JustInFudge Posted June 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2020 What is going on right now is relevant to Football because a pioneer and hero of the revolution was black balled from this league for peacefully protesting the exact issue that is plaguing our country. Instead of being heard, he was ostracized and white america refused to hear his plight. Instead, they changed their anger toward a man taking a knee peacefully, within his rights, rather than appropriately placing it on the 400 of years of oppression black america has faced in the country. Maybe if his peaceful protest was heard instead of resisted, we would have saved the lives of many black americans who are needlessly murdered with no accountability by our law enforcement. Maybe if the NFL embraced one of their superstars for standing up for HUMAN RIGHTS, which has nothing to do with Politics and the Flag and whatever conversation white american wanted to have instead of the conversation that many players in the league (not just Colin) were trying to have, we would not have been subjected to watching modern day lynchings. 14 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sticking your fingers in your ears and not wanting to hear the truth is the problem. The NFL could have been a catalyst to change, instead they were a resisting force to necessary change. And now it's on the forefront again because players all around the league will be taking a knee again.

I, along with many others agree with you. But the owner of the site and the mod team made it clear they don't want this kind of content on a Jets Football forum. Don't have to agree with it but try to respect it. There are many other places and outlets to discuss these very relevant topics. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The forces against change fought a rear guard action to reinforce the dam and as a result when the dam broke it has broken more completely than if they has not even tried. In one sense there is a direct line from one to the other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locked threads are better than willful ignorance. All 50 states and 18 countries are protesting right now. This is bigger than us, bigger than JN, bigger than football, bigger than just about everything. It seems hollow to be trying to "stick to football" right now. I'll do it out of respect for Max, but not without complaint. And no, I don't want to join another board to talk about it. There's actually been some good and rational discussions here, unlike the cesspools on other boards. JN is better equipped to discuss this in a mature, thoughtful way than at least 90 % of message boards out there. I can just about guarantee that. 5 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GATA Posted June 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2020 As someone that lives in a community that peacefully protested and as a minority "I don't need to talk about it here." We are having this conversation in other medians & all over the country. I respect Phil's policies enough not to ever bring politics to the table here because I also disagree with a lot of positions. But if you are raising awareness THANK YOU. If @Maxman decides to change his stance I'm ok voicing my opinion but that's just me .

EM31 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 In other news a friend of mine decked a non-mask wearing customer in a liquor store today. My friend confronted him about not wearing a mask and the guy came at him. My friend is in his 50s but he is also a former golden gloves champ and put the guy down with one punch. Part of me thinks that was the wrong thing to do but a bigger part is 100% supportive. The fellow left the store apparently without completing his liquor purchase. Poor baby. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
