Well. Last time I was there, the Wingnuts were making it highly politicized. Makes sense I guess.

Everyone was making it politicized because there is no friggin way to NOT invite politics into a discussion about a global pandemic in which the entire country has gone into various "lockdown" phases and now we're looking at a situation of economic hardship whilst the shitbird political elites continue to play with themselves....and oh yea, we're still dealing with a damn pandemic.

Crazy world man.

Can't blame people for not making things political when everything in our world is political these days.

Hell, imagine what's going to happen on here (and any other NFL fan forum) when they play multiple national anthems, take knees, and wear SJW decals on their helmets.

That epithet is itself politically charged. Shouldn't all of us be warriors against social injustice?

I'm actually not sure. The first thing I call to question is what justice really means. Seems like it means different things to different people. I could go on.... in the Politics Forum.

I like to think you said injustice in the Christian Bale batman voice.

Words used to have actual meanings. Now words also have co-opted meanings that are different from the meaning of the actual words (that in some cases eclipses the literal meaning). I never would have known that "SJW" carried a negative connotation until politically charged discussion spilled over into a football thread.

Did anyone listen to the Joshua Harris interview on 105.7 yesterday?
Hopefully they'll post it on the fan website.

Good interview.

I emailed vinny and haynie and asked them to post it.

But I recorded it on my phone if they don't/can't post it.

Saw on Twitter that Jamison Hensley saying everyone in Ravens building is wearing a tracker that apparently beeps when they are too close to someone else, and also can help in contact tracing if someone does get it. Not sure if that's league wide, but regardless, as always, the organization is doing things the right way.

I like this a lot for non-players (coaches, staff, refs), but the players are gonna break the social distancing guidelines during every play of practice and games. The emphasis has to be on keeping COVID out/keeping everyone in a bubble, imo.

The organization has thinkers in it.
