Florida & Texas is where woke goes to die 

Unfortunately our educational systems are also critically underfunded and we are churning out mouth breathers. Getting rid of all the books won’t help. 
 

No joke, I graduated from a Tampa Bay Area high school on the late 90s/early aughts. The dumbest, biggest ******* from our graduating class is now on the school board trying to pull books from libraries. Where is the the passion put into reading? And writing? And math? Science? History? LITERALLY ANYTHING?! This type of person has no interest in that. This is why our states are dying and acting as a place where other things “go to die”.

Here is the thing. I have nothing against anyone expressing the way that they want to. All of us should leave the children alone and let them decide and support them with how they live their lives. It is as simple as that. No sexual stuff to kids 

I agree, you (and others) should leave my children alone and not do sexual stuff to them. I will continue to parent as I see fit. This is how things have worked for a while, so why is the GOP suddenly trying to inject themselves into my kids’ genitalia?! Just leave everyone alone.

I’m sorry but that does not justify allowing drag shows with underage kids. This is where you are brainwashed into thinking it is ok.

I have literally never seen a “drag show with underage kids.” I’ve seen a news clip with a fake video from Brazil. I have seen “drag queen storytime,” where drag queens read kids stories. I don’t really understand that and would probably not take my kids, but it was clearly first amendment protected behavior.

I live on a military base presently. My eight year old daughter was in a Boys and Girls Club on base at Fort Sam Houston in Texas last Wednesday. She's in the gymnasium doing Tae Kwon Doe. I'm with my four year old daughter when she points out the rainbow signage on one of the walls in the building. I then take a few minutes to walk the rest of the facility that is ONLY for children from the ages of nine to seventeen (in other words, you don't need an adult for access). They have 10 signs in the club - six of the 10 are promoting the LGBQT movement. That's problematic. The other four signs were promoting activists that were part of the resistance movement, race, women's rights, etc. 

Why do kids need to be exposed to activism related to one's sexual preference? I get it - I was as far from a saint as possible from about 19 to 35 - however there's something to be said about allowing children to maintain their innocence. My wife pulled my daughter from the class on Monday while I was in Florida and we've found a place off base that is apolitical the minute you walk through their doors of their business. 

Here is the beginning of an explanation if you’d care to dig deeper 

The Trevor Project - Wikipedia

With the hateful stuff kids are exposed to nowadays, you should know that these rates are far HIGHER for kids with conservative and religious families. I pray your kids, if needed, find a calmer, wiser, less narrow minded Sherriff down the road if they should need it

Did you know that LGBTQ kids are way more likely to commit suicide. That just maybe seeing one place that they are accepted and not being told they are going to hell or bullied might save their lives? If your daughter is not gay a Rainbow won’t turn her gay but it may make her more aware that others are different and that it’s ok and they shouldn’t be shun nor bullied for it.

Lol u took the words out of my mouth bro

I honestly don’t feel safe in the blue states now. I’m from Illinois and corrupt politics have ruined it. Big cities like Chicago NYC LA SF will probably implode but guess what? The corrupt politicians in DC will make the red states pay for it like they did for the pandemic. Those are just sad facts

Totally get this if your news sources are Facebook and Fox, but the actual numbers say otherwise. Violent crime rates are far higher in red states, which make up 9 of top 10 places with highest violent crime. 

You’re all good BA. 

This country has a history of oppression and I’ll be goddamned if I’m not gonna stand up for people who are getting targeted for violence and worse  I’ve read history books—this is just the same pattern over—“if they weren’t so mouthy and in my face about it I would just let them be” is the same **** they said when defending segregation and a whole hose of civil rights infringements since.

And as someone who actually has young kids, the thought of a bunch of old right wing rednecks and creepy church weirdos sitting around obsessing about child grooming and someone’s own personal identity is just a bit too nauseating to stomach

Come on, man lol. It is a never ending cycle. Give peace a chance..

What I said was far less vulgar and offensive than Groethe’s f-bomb tirade. So if I bother you, I’m sure you’re really disappointed about the face of our NIL collective putting it out under his own name in public right?

Bigots gonna bigot

Hey Sherriff, why are people like you so obsessed with “grooming”? A bit of projection perhaps? You disgust me

I agree; to each his own. I would hate a world where everyone agreed with one another on every topic. That would make it boring! 

Yeah, like some people believe in being decent human beings toward others, and others don’t. Really just two totally reasonable different stances. 

Matt showed his ass and nobody with a public facing role should say dumb **** like this

He has the freedom to say whatever ignorant **** he wants but the flip side is he should reap the ramifications

That’s a great supposition. Fortunately, I’m in the minority. My kids are far better off than I was at their age (and through age 40 likely; also I am better off than my parents).  Sons have no use of drugs, no crime, no violence or victimhood, no sloth.  No excuses.   Each son pursuing his life with vigor.  So proud of them.  No privelege, or just not all the privileges some would assumed to be the reason for their success or based on their looks.  I feel bad for those that are drowning in the problems identified above

I don’t mean to say it’s all bad. You don’t give yourself enough credit. They have enormous privilege-we live in the most prosperous country in the world and I know from your posts over the years they have a dad that loves and cares for them. That gives them a leg up on almost everyone who’s ever lived. I’m trying to do the same for mine. But for lots of people (like me when I was younger, and possibly like this guy from Sudan) there is no safety net. I’m lucky to be in the position I’m in but many have had the dice fall the other direction. 

There's no loyalty because they are part the first generation that will be left worse off than their parents by nearly every socioeconomic and health measure, and the generations before them cleaned out the cupboards on the way out (if they aren't still hanging on to some executive title while being wheeled around like Bernie in Weekend at Bernie's). Wealth inequality has skyrocketed, and just a few select individuals and corporations control massive swaths of the economy. And the only interest those mega corporations have is wringing every last cent of value out of someone. College sports is just one exemplar of this.

Why shouldn't these guys transfer to a different school with one of the little windows of opportunity they may get? They need to maximize their shot. More power to them.

Ok boomer 

****. RIP Jimmy

My response you Quoted has nothing whatsoever to do with the extensions ..... which, btw, had nothing to do with the coaches winning/losing.

If the extensions had "nothing to do with the coaches winning/losing," that's a fireable offense on its own (as I said at the time).

Hindsight's always 20/20 ...... especially here lately.

I get tired of the go around, but this is such a cop out. Many of us said these extensions were terrible ideas at the time. Extending losing coaches is not a good idea. Now with these buyouts looming, they look every bit as bad as those of us who called it at the time thought.

In another day and time, I would agree with you, but I don't believe we have time for this. We are the definition of a program that needs a short-term fix to get football and men's basketball competitive right away. Our reputation for being a program "pregnant with possibilities" slips further away each day. We need that tide turned now - not 3-4-5 years from now with on-the-job training for unproven assistant coaches. We MUST become a/the power pretty quickly in this version of the AAC.

Time for this was 10 years ago dude

I don't really know what this means. I'm not a rabid anti MK guy. But I don't know what you think when you hear "borderline criminal" and "negligent," but honestly I don't get a warm fuzzy about the person that hired the "borderline criminal...negligent" dude. I want this to work so bad so I hope this is the hire

Those comments definitely raise some serious questions about Kelly, who hired Scott and then extended him when it was already obvious it wasn't working. Hopefully this is the hire that resolves any concern and dispels that cloud.

Also, is that really true? Wasn't his whole thing that he turned coal into diamonds? George Selvie! (And JPP, though he was pretty well regarded)

Well then it would be just peachy if he would recruit a couple more pieces

I'm confident Patrick will do the best with what he has. But we could definitely use a couple more pieces if we really want to turn the D into an area of strength

I really dont think we have the defensive backs either to run a 3-3-5.

Or the linebackers...
