    This is exactly what Wist is talking about. Its ok to open the topic, but heaven forbid a certain veiwpoint is expressed. We must silence the dissenter. You people are so fucking panty waste pussified that I can't actually handle it here anymore. I'm out of here. I'll join Rand and the other silenced masses.

    I can't believe everyone is so fucking stupid to not realize that nearly every post in this thread is just like Wist's, but he is the only one you wish to silence....and for the record I disagree with wist quite a bit, and even in this instance, but I'm not so small minded and petty as to want to silence him. You dumb fuckers are proving his point for him.
    No, not every post is just like wists because there is a line that wist Carl Lewis long jumps over every time. When a post has more to do with politics than it does with football, that's the line. The existence of even having FYI was threatened recently with Red's little tantrum about this exact shit. You dumb fuckers are proving him right.

    Why so much coverage? Less than one day, 42 posts.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    It's because all you mini-dick tricks are very interested. Only can be one reason why.

    False. Here's the rundown of the posts:

    Chann - Starts thread, albeit in the wrong forum, but says he wasn't sure and is ok with moving it. Harmless enough.
    Harlan - Gives his opinion, no politics.
    Smuggler - Disagrees with Harlan. No politics.
    Harlan - Reposte. No politics.
    Wist - Political jab at "leftists". Rants on Mike and Mike and how they are "leftists". Political.
    Zool - People are stupid. No politics
    Woodbuck - Link to Sam story about making the team. No politics.
    Dirty - Has thoughts of Sam and Manziel. No politics.
    QBME - Agrees with Wist on M&M. Can be political, or just that he hates M&M.
    Denver - Questions why thread even in Packerrats. No politics
    Denver - Tells Dirty his dream of Sam on Manziel action happened. No politics.
    Thunder - Snarky response to Wist about his political views and request to keep political discussion in FYI. Political post.
    Wist - Snarky reposte to Thunder and calls him a leftist. Political.
    George - Wants clarification on Wist's original post. Not really political as no views stated but encourages the political conversation.
    Zool - Shot at Wist. Not political.
    George - Gives opinion on original post. Not political.
    Smuggler - Political post.
    pb - Video of Sam on Manziel action. Not political
    Dirty - Admission that missed the video. Not political
    pb - Comment on how M&M and ESPN are money making machines. Then brings up Joe Buck. Not political.
    pb - Laments about Cubs. Not political.
    Dirty - Hell would freeze over. Not political.
    Harlan - Expresses hatred of Joe Buck. Doesn't care about Sam's sexuality. Not political.
    Wist - Clarifies post to George's earlier question. Not political.
    Dirty - Slight shot and tells Wist to stop posting about politics when not in FYI. Not political.
    Thunder - agrees with Dirty. Not political.
    Wist - Brings up how crappy liberals are again and how they are bullies. Says thread doesn't belong here, should be in FYI. Political.
    George - Acknowledges gets wist's point. Not political.
    Wist - Compares himself to Jews in Nazi Germany about how he's being attacked. Takes another derogatory shot at liberals. Political.
    Dirty - Shot at Wist. Tells him he's still posting politics outside of FYI. Not political.
    pb - States that M&M are more centric than left, but not sure. Encourages political talk, but not really a political post.
    Chann - Comments on how stupid Greeny is. Not political
    George - Sympathizes with M&M and radio guys that that have to say outrageous stuff. Not political
    Fritz - Gay joke. Not political.
    George - Likes Fritz. Not political.
    bobble - says it's not wists fault the thread was started. Not political
    bobble - agrees on M&M being centrist. Just sick of the whole media circus. Not political.
    bobble- Agrees with wist that conservative are the victims like the Jews in Nazi Germany. Political.
    bobble - Starts whining and crying and says that people are trying to silence the dissenters. Claims every post is like wists. Then rage quits.

    So we have 38 posts before your rage quit. 7 are definitely political in nature and 4 were by wist. Several are possible politics. But the vast majority have nothing to do with politics and several posters asked the politics talk to go to the proper forum.
    All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!

    Hmm I wonder...smh.

    There are all sorts of threads about the NFL in this forum. I get that people don't want to talk about Michael Sam, old news, skip the thread. It is actually odd that it took this long for a Michael Sam thread to get started here, it's a big change for the NFL.

    This forum is run by a gay man, Madtown. Nobody seems to have a problem with that. Good. He once told me he had a bigger cock than me, which made me uncomfortable, but that is the worst thing that ever happened. If you got no problem with Madtown, why can't a few of you baboons deal with a thread about the first gay player?

    There was another thread but I think that one got the boot to RR or FYI.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Ridiculous. Maybe we also need a fainting room where people can retire to if they are overcome by a controversial topic.

    Well, I get you don't want to start arguing about pure politics. How about Michael Vick and his dog stuff, did that get moved to a safe zone?

    There were a bunch of Vick threads, but none of them got political because basically everyone agreed that he was a shithead for being involved in something like that. Aaron Hernandez threads didn't get political either. But a thread about how the press is covering a gay issue? What are the odds that such a thread wouldn't get political?

    I got up to let the dog out, and while he was shitting in the back yard, I noticed this thread. Several thoughts/questions:

    It seems like a lot of you guys have repressed political urges and should be participating in F.Y.I.

    Chann, are you named for that coach with the memorable and thread-appropriate last name?

    Joe, you have the supreme gall to mention Michael Vick and heaven forbid, Aaron Hernandez in a Michael Sam thread? The PC police are really gonna get you!

    What ever happened to the good ol' days when we had commentators like Marv Albert?

    3irty1, you asked a question over in Romper Room that nobody has answered yet. 40 something responses in less than a day - 1 day before final cutdowns, 6 days before the season starts - I think you have your answer about what the public wants to discuss.

    40 something posts and only one kinda lame attempt at homo humor - the sucking thing? What's the matter with you people hahahaha? That would be something else to lasso non-lurking whatevers - or whatever you said.

    I can't remember if it's this forum or a different one where somebody commented, "will they dare say, 'Sam penetrated into the backfield"? Isn't a gay guy who plays Defensive End an oxymoron?

    Bretsky is going to be jealous.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.
