Thelonebillsfan Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Also, dude, like I get it's been a rule for a long time and, well, you wanna save your ad money. But idk if you know this, the country is kinda on fire and has been for a while now. Eventually people are gonna wanna talk about that stuff, which they do elsewhere as well, but you can't keep that genie in the bottle anymore.

Do you mean left / right politics or BLM “politics?” Our forum rules are still in effect. No race or political discussion.

animaltested Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 The "shut up and dribble" nonsense seems strong around here. Disappointing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all due respect, you shut the website down for almost a day to support BLM. That was a bold and much appreciated decision on your part that probably wasn’t easy. However, you have to understand why that would cause confusion for posters on this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd make a lot more money if we exploited all the tragedy going on like every other media outlet. Politics and everything going on in the world is a lot more important than sports and what we focus on at FootballsFuture.com, but that doesn’t mean we should discuss these things here. In fact, many members need a politics free zone now more than ever. Most media outlets use political divide to boost ratings. Almost every social media site is nothing but political talk. This site will remain politics free. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it really bold? During spring before noon. After the draft iirc. It’s not like he shut it down on a Sunday during football season.

As I said when I shut the site down, those actions didn't change the forum rules.

We don’t allow political discussion on this forum because it is far too polarizing and will cause conflicts and resentments that will destroy the community.

Thelonebillsfan Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Stopping the season is the only logical outcome I see left. I think most of the players are recognizing they made a mistake resuming play in the first place. I'd be shocked if they played another game.
