should have just kept his mouth shut...

Auto Donk · 10-27-17, 11:58 AM

wait a minute, there aren't any mescins on tescins.....

oh wait.... he was referring to the African Americans......

And DeAndre Hopkins is having a hissy fit over it.

So dramatic.

Had a superintendent say that once about the crew....what a dik, obviously men with power trips love this phrase...but I'm sure the libtard media is already in a tail spin about this someone relating to race....

The guy was mimicking a cliché, he's 79 years old, and he got the term wrong. He meant "asylum", not "prison", and all the social justice warriors are out to get him.

Jamele Hill, of course, leading the charge.

It’s a figure of speech, good lord...

Auto Donk · 10-27-17, 02:43 PM

i'm just pissed that me and my 39 other white classmates didn't realize our teachers back in school were calling us the f'n n-word when they'd use the phrase.....

Exactly! It's amazing how dumb people are.

Booya711 · 10-27-17, 02:51 PM

This figure of speech is used all the time....bunch of pussies these players

Auto Donk · 10-27-17, 02:54 PM

careful, don't call them pussies.... or you know who will cut his f'n honeymoon short and take to the f'n streets again.....

bigtymer56 · 10-27-17, 02:58 PM

Is this a story if he says asylum instead of prison?

Are the players or anybody for that matter, actually shocked the owners don't care about them?

That wouldn't have made it any better. The offensive notion is "inmates."

Of course it is. He referred to the players as inmates. Asylum might have been worse.

Lmao, he probably says it so much he doesn't even know asylum is the correct phrase.

Two-part question for you:

#1. Did you find the "inmates" part offensive?

#2. If SBR John said as posters, we can't give each other infractions on our own. The inmates can't be running SBR. Would you find that offensive?

It's not offensive!!!

The expression has been around forever and all it does is give an analogy.

grease lightnin · 10-27-17, 03:14 PM

Say this at work all the time.

It is is the current situation in our govt and voter pool as well.

probably so, as then hopkins would have claimed he calling him a crazy n-word instead of just an ordinary n-word.....

one of them real, real crazy n-words:

I didn't because I'm not an NFL player. But if I was an NFL player, I'm pretty sure that I would find that offensive, yes. Posters to SBR is not even close to the same dynamic.

Kermit · 10-27-17, 03:23 PM

People losing their shit over an old idiom.

Auto Donk · 10-27-17, 03:23 PM

good thing he laid off the "you ******* wanna go back to pickin' f'n cotton, just take a f'n knee this weekend" version of the speech....

jm8122 · 10-27-17, 03:31 PM

Big bet on the Seahawks this weekend??

jjgold · 10-27-17, 03:32 PM

The owner was 100% correct and all true I love guys like this that are true Americans

How would you find that offensive if you knew what the expression was about?

All it's saying is ....The employees are not the boss. The owners are.

Auto Donk · 10-27-17, 03:47 PM

I think this racist prick mcnair was trying to slam JJ Watt and the other whites on the team, as most people in asylums are white!!!!

unfortunately, he misspoke

If you didn't find it offensive, why would you find it offensive if you were an NFL player? Are you suggesting NFL players aren't smart enough to comprehend clichés?

What if you spent less time being offended and more time seeking understanding?

I think the reaction has provided the answer to your second question....

Next time he'll be sure to say "We can't have the babies running the daycare"

People over react about everything

funny part about it is he's 100% right, just another thing to be outraged about.

Read again, genius. I said IIII would be offended if IIII was an NFL player. And I'd be no more or less smart than I am now. Has nothing to do with intelligence. Has to do with role. Just because something is a figure of speech doesn't make it appropriate. In any case, he apologized and his apology should be accepted.
