I was just shocked the browns had traded away a guy they had just selected 3rd over all after his rookie season

That is the proposed rule for the n-word. The meetings take place the 23rd-26th. They have 13 rules to vote on.

agreed. what's the issue with the rule?
for those concerned about losing a game because of a flag for this, is it that hard not to say the word? and it's not just this word, it's a others as well from what i understand.

All swear words need to be treated the same if they're going to pass this rule. Otherwise it feels like black players are being targeted.

If that's the case then I think the rule is good.

NFL refs already have enough on their plate without this dumb ****.
Roger Fiddell and his folks out here trying to change the world one rule at a time.
Stupid.

If the rule covers a wide range of excessive language towards your opponent in a negative manner, I have no qualms about it.
But if this rule is only written for one specific word to be the focal point, I think its silly...especially considering the league didnt have an issue with it until Cooper and Incognito open their mouths
So I hope the word is treated no different than the numerous things said on the field when a flag is thrown.

Yea. My question is is it really that hard for you to not say the word ?

White people cry more about the N word than any other race. I think it's foolish to try to ban grown men from saying any word. If the coaching staff in Miami did it's ******* job, we wouldn't have any issue. That's the real problem.

It actually is Skip. For some of you that never say it, you don't understand because some of us say it every few minutes.

It's funny how they decide "take action" on the N word in 2014 when we use it amongst one another and white folks can't. This **** screams of "If we can't use it, you can't either".

All I did was say the desean had made more big plays as a eagle then McCoy has since he has been there, I didn't say I'd rather have desean over McCoy or that desean is a better player then McCoy and u guys jump on me like I said Andy Reid is in shape...

For all the non-black people that feel this way, on behalf of the black community let me just say find something else to worry about. At the end of the day, if brothas for whatever reason want to use the N-word, we certainly have that right. The majority of the people that really feels this way above more so have an issue because "they" can't say the word themselves.
Also, in regards to Roger Goodell and even the owners that desire to take a vote on this issue, it's real easy to pick on the little person (NFL players..........mostly black players mind you) than it is for them to actually go after a person of their own kind and power status (Daniel Synder and The Washington Diplomats organization). If Roger Goodell and the NFL owners want to really flex their muscle and take action against a word that is demeaning and is harmful to a sector in America, go after the Diplomats and ask/demand the team to change their official team name. That would truly show me something. Don't go after the small fish.........go after the big fish.
