Jon Gruden removed from Ring of Honor in 2021 - Democrats controlled the presidency
Jon Gruden reinstated to Ring of Honor in 2025 - Republicans controlled the presidency
i don't think that's a coincidence.
also, if the NFL was "Woke" would argue that it has come more towards the middle as Fire has stated with Trump in the announcer booth, etc.
Just my theory anyway, but i also thought we were a Harris presidency away from a non-binary Santa Clause. Sometimes change is good.
Still hope for that non-binary Santa Clause if and when Newsome is president in 2029 :)
Well we already got "transgender" (transgenic) mice.
So that's your queue @donkeyhunter
As long as the pretend girl mice don’t play sports with the real girl mice, we’re all good.
I would hope that’s something we can all agree on.
Thats it.You're gonna sit here and pretend that the NFL didn't do a barrage of Kirk memorials for a right wing podcaster?
No, the NFL didn't. Some NFL teams did. Not all, but some. But the NFL did not. If they did, you would have seen it at every stadium, like you saw after George Floyd. But you didn't.
The NFL committed $250million to social justice initiatives over 10 years.
The US is committed to equal justice, only one side of the political spectrum advances social justice.
by investing $250 million dollars in named social justice efforts, and DEI initiatives promoted by the far left, the NFL surely went woke, just as other corporate boardrooms decided it wasn’t exactly beneficial to curry favor with the far left extremists who pushed their agenda from the op of organizations.
The manipulation campaign has suffered as the main manipulation group shaking them down has suffered some legal problems within the leadership of said group. The NFL - as an organization - said this year that they are moving forward. While they’re adjust their rhetoric, they still haven’t removed the political statements from stadiums, and I don’t believe any teams can remove them.
As shown, the NFL has also reaffirmed its commitment to DEI initiatives, even as corporate America have determined to move away from them, because they were found to support a political social justice narrative with its roots in the far left’s political agenda. These were political forced compliance & shakedown efforts that are not in-step with the main stream. It’s not where the middle of America is, it’s definitely not where the money is. I suspect this will quietly disappear - but it has not so far.
There was no NFL pressure for teams to raise awareness against political violence from the left after Charlie Kirk’s assassination by a left wing deviant furry. There was no overt campaign by the NFL, no forced compliance, no commitment to rhetoric being displayed in stadiums. No $100 million investments into Charlie Kirk memorials.
There is a difference, currently the NFL is woke. Individuals teams & fans, are not.
Them’s the facts.

I feel they should just eliminate gender when it comes to sports. Have one league.
I personally feel that women should be playing in the NFL. Like mandatory to have atleast 5 on each team with guaranteed snaps each game.
its only a silly competition after all. Not sure why everyone making such a big deal about it
So if a PLAYER puts words on its helmet, a team puts words in the endzone, it's the NFL being woke.
If a handful of players take a knee, it's the NFL being woke.
If the NFL allows teams to promote and honor Charlie Kirk's death, then it's individual liberty.
If Trump goes on a live broadcast and talks through an entire third quarter about politics, you all just keep ignoring it...
Do I have that right?
And again the NFL being "woke" is comical. George Floyd honoring was because a POS cop stepped in his neck and killed him. It was due to INSTITUTIONAL POLICE BRUTALITY and the backlash of protests. The NFL isn't a bunch of blue haired transgender owners trying to being political correct and score points.
The NFL is run by white conservative billionaires who do not give two shits about being woke. Woke = don't lose fans and keep making money. Woke = players are pissed and want reform so they give players token appeasements to put words on the back of their helmet IF THEY WANT TO.
The amount of money they invest in DEI is a fart in the wind toward their total revenue and they only do it because the NFL players are diverse.
If this was 1970 Alabama football, white only players then none of this would exist.
Being ever so slightly progressive to appease a diverse fan base and players isn't "woke" it's business common sense.
I dare one fucking person in this thread to acknowledge the irony in "keep politics out of sports" while ignoring Trump constantly inserting himself into the NFL and trying to cancel certain aspects of it.
Just one fucking person

Of course and further, if a transgender man (born a woman) tried to play NFL football they'd probably die upon the first tackle.
But that's not what the fake outrage is over. Even the most ardent liberal isn't going to ask for transgender men to play this violent sport. It's a red herring.
What the OP was dog whistling is about having a black head coach makes our hyper conservative owners "woke".
To him (not all in this thread but certainly some who frequent this board) woke = dei = cte = n*****.
Read between the lines with these idiots (again not you).
Bowles pisses me off too... But I don't attribute it to the color of his fucking skin.

I understand that.
It’s about transgender women (dudes) playing in women’s (not dudes) sports.
As I said, I’m sure that’s something we can ALL agree being banned at every level.

No, you are still misunderstanding. The NFL (league office) mandated the Social Justice messaging throughout the league in 2020..
As part of the NFL's ongoing commitment to social justice programs, the messages "It Takes All of Us" and "End Racism" will be stenciled on all end zone borders for home openers, the league office informed clubs on Monday in a memo obtained by ESPN.
The two messages of inclusion, which will be stenciled on opposite end zones during kickoff week, are key elements of the league's broader, multifaceted rollout intended to highlight efforts to support diversity and inclusion when the new season begins.
The end zone messages demonstrate "how football and the NFL brings people together to work as one and use our example and our actions to help conquer racism," the memo said.
As previously reported, a recorded performance of "Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing," traditionally known as the Black national anthem, will be featured in pregame ceremonies. On stadium video screens, montages of the social justice work of NFL players and clubs will accompany the song. What's more, according to the memo, the NFL has "engaged the James Weldon Johnson Foundation (the song's author) and the NAACP to work with us to inform and educate fans about the historical significance of the song during the weeks leading up to kickoff, and will utilize the NFL's owned and operated channels to share as broadly as possible."
Individual players decide whether to use a decal on their helmet or not, this is not league mandated or done by the NFL office.
Individual teams decided whether to honor Charlie Kirk or not, this was not league mandated or done by the NFL office.
And again the NFL being "woke" is comical.
I can see how that could happen if you aren't aware of the facts regarding the NFL's DEI policies and Social Justice messaging. These things are certainly included in the concept of wokeness, are they not?
OK Don Quixote, you’re tilting your lance at windmills, cuz your enemies don’t exist.So if a PLAYER puts words on its helmet, a team puts words in the endzone, it's the NFL being woke.

The NFL sanctioned statements - are the only things allowed for players and teams to “choose”. You can wear them, or not. All other “protest” gear is not authorized and can’t be worn - think that is from the Jim McMahon era.
The NFL committed money and forced teams and players to comply with a political message/thought-control experiment. It’s failing because it was overtly biased - and the NFL went along with it. The protests are from fans who saw it for what it was - blatant propaganda. The cop didn’t step on the neck of a criminal because of his skin color, but because he was a repeat criminal. The same political group that pressured the NFL, turned into something it was not. The NFL buckled and forced teams to comply. That’s how social justice driven DEI models work. Blackmail and threats of judicial attacks until the target complies.
The NFL - as an organization forced compliance of teams and players to avoid legal threats from an organized group of shakedown artists.
Charlie Kirk memorials were never sanctioned by the NFL, there was no mandatory political compliance effort sought, nor pursued by the NFL.
To my knowledge - you’re the only one on these boards that has even brought up the issue about Trump’s appearance at the Redskins, er Washington game (oops, see what I did there? Gave you another piece of evidence that the NFL is woke).
It wasnt forced, and I’d just as soon it didn’t happen.
Keep tilting at windmills, cuz there ain’t no enemies here, Don.

Bowles pisses me off too... But I don't attribute it to the color of his fucking skin.
It's as stupid as the whole woke thing was because this team has already had a successful black hc. I think people like to complain too...
I said it earlier who was the team going to hire over bowles when Arians retired? We just been lucky to be in a dog shit division and he's good enough to beat them. He could potentially get another hc job elsewhere if we let him go because of his experience but he's not a good hc because he doesn't adapt ever it's like he thinks hes so great at what he does but hes not. They are just not putting these players in places to succeed. Part of is we don't have any great pass rushers. So then we put our players in even more difficult positions to make plays when they can't even get to the qb or cover anyone.
Don't know what it's like for others but you watch other teams defenses and get very frustrated about our defense is a common thing that happens to me. He's just not good enough to win beyond our crappy division. Which does suck for the veterans because it's not easy to win a sb. The injuries are part of it but even if we had them not sure if we would still be able to hurdle the coaching on this team. I think our record would be similar if not the same.
It’s about transgender women (dudes) playing in women’s (not dudes) sports.

yeah exactly. like yes, it's common sense that should be the case, but one particular side can't even define "Women".
Go ahead and ask that question of a hard core left-ist and watch the dancing that occurs.
I mean hell, there's a pregnant man emoji. It was getting out of hand and hence you've seen a shift more towards the middle (although i'd argue having stronger candidates might have helped them a bit more.) While i don't agree with Newsome's policies, he would certainly be a more polished and formidable candidate.
and as long as a particular side wins and maintains power, they will not come closer to the middle. So that was my refence to non-binary Santa Claus.
If it ain't broke, dont fix it. Well, not being common sense about certain things certainly hurt the democrats in the last election.
Politics ain't hard to figure out. 90% has made up their mind and will vote for a #2 pencil (Kamala Harris, John McCain) for president. I'd like to think 45% is democrat and 45% is republican no matter what....and it's the 10% undecided/independent that actually think it matters and are just never happy with the party in power, hence why you generally see a chance in the mid-term elections
Same. He did build a defense a few years ago - using FA’s and draft picks. But he hasn’t replicated that success. A couple of decent drafts, but his FA access has been limited due to the ongoing credit card cap limitations stemming from the Brady dead cap money. So I gave him the benefit of the doubt.Bowles pisses me off too... But I don't attribute it to the color of his fucking skin.
Personally, I’ve supported Bowles for the way he maintained competitiveness & has been able to rally his team the previous 2 years - despite the limited FA access and sharing draft picks with the offense.
I don't like the overly cautious approach on offense, the time out issues, and taking the ball away from the offense in order for his defense to close the deal that they haven’t been capable of closing the past 2 years.
This is why I’m becoming fed up with Bowles as a head coach. Every DC gets clobbered/surprised in a season, but there has been enough time for this team to be NFL-average. We were not yesterday.
I’d love to think he could come up with some tweaks, but the defense definitely regressed last week - and ST is not getting better.
