Hate to see it. And I know the pain of having to rely on Melvin "Mr. Fumblerooskie" Gordon.

You keep trying to have these “gotcha” moments. Yes, ban Toradol. Just because YOU don’t give a **** about the players outside of being entertained does not mean that the rest of the posters in here feel the same way.Agreed.
So you want all pain meds banned from the sport, right?
No more needles. No more cortisone. No more Toradol.
We want these players to protect their health at all costs, right?
So we takin this to the NFL, right? Let's start the movement together.

falcons really had to go falcons
I don't give a damn about gotcha moments.
And you aren't actually serious about banning anything. You'll just say "yea, let's ban it" then never do a single thing about it ever again.
But you'll be watchin tonight, Thursday night, and Sunday same as the rest of us.
You know I'm not sayin anything new or Earth shattering. We ALL know what these players do to make it thru each week. And nobody in here campaigning to have all those pain meds removed nor will they.
But if you disagree, by all means @ the NFL and let's start a movement. That's how we make change, right?

You literally keep trying to pitch these “Whatabout” moments as if it proves some extremely garbage point you have. Because I’m personally not starting a movement about it means that I don’t care? You know how incredibly stupid that is when extrapolated across literally ANY argument.I don't give a damn about gotcha moments.

How have you put it more eloquently when you’ve pretty much callously said that you don’t care.Dan Le Batard, much more eloquent than I.....
You’re trying to impart the same emotion on everyone, which doesn’t make sense. You’ve offered no nuanced conversation about this — pretty much the opposite. Just empty whataboutisms.No, because you keep consuming means you don't really care.
I totally don't hold it against you not trying to start a movement vs a 15 billion dollar company.
Just as I don't believe any one of this board wants to tear down Nike for their labor decisions. We just gon keep on buyin tho.
We all KNOW what's right and what's wrong. But not a one of us gon do a damn thing to change it.

I literally said what he said. It just hurt people's feelings is all.
"We", myself included, don't care. We just keep watchin every week.
What should I be breaking down? Dan Marino got me into the NFL. He said EVERY off-season he would have knee surgery on both knees. He called them oil changes. Literally, oil changes in his opinion. My fav athlete of all time. Any sport.
The dude had multiple surgeries a summer for over a decade so we could watch 4-5 months a year. And when he retired (like all athletes will do) we're sad for a while until the next Star joins your team.
Javante just blew his knee.......I wonder, and I don't know the answer.......if he ever used pain meds to ignore any other pain he was feeling.....until somethin snaps completely. I could be dead wrong, just somethin I wonder with these injuries. We'll likely never know.

We live in a hypercapitalist society — just because you consume something doesn’t mean that you support all of their behaviors/beliefs. Like I said, you’re stripping a topic that’s full of so much nuance of all of the nuance that makes it up. There’s no sort of compassionate capitalism devoid of ills that are out there for any of us to throw our support and love behind. That’s not what this system is based on. Seems like you’re the one struggling to understand that.
It’s great that you think you said this and that you feel that you agree with his point — but it’s absolutely not what you said. That’s not even really debatable.
Dan mentioned somethin McDaniel said too..... "I would never willingly put any player in harms way"
His literal job puts 53 men in harms way. Weekly.
We watch and love this sport KNOWING what it costs them. They balance it with the money etc so we keep chuggin along.
