Sad truth

Did Obama ever call Tebow to congratulate him?

King James?

Dove, That's what bothers me about civil rights, prejudices and political correctness. Race, gender and gay rights are grouped together. I fully support racial and gender equality because that is what God would want. It is a Christian view that gay rights is not something God would not approve of. Love the sinner, hate the sin. If I were a minority race I would have serious concerns about being grouped into the same civil rights bowl. JMO

I was a little reluctant to even start this thread because there is too many merry go round debates on race and gays. My main complaint wasn't with Sam but was with the media and the agenda. This story may fade a little but it will not go away.

When I heard that Michael Sam was drafted in the seventh round I thought good for him. Then it became the biggest story in not just the sports world but in the nation. "The kiss" was aired countless times on all networks including ESPN. The media has sensationalized the story to annoyance. Obama felt the need to congratulate him personally on his seventh round accomplishment. I'm suppose there were not any other draftees with accomplishments as commendable worthy.   You see, its not enough for me and others to just except him as a person, football player or even a gay man. We are forced to endure the relentless promotion of his story that includes having to repeatedly watch "the kiss" as we try to watch ESPN. Plus we have to accept his hero status as our president sings his praise. Simple acceptance is not enough. The constant "in your face" is something Christians have a hard time with. JMO

HGTV and any other network has the right to air whatever and whoever they want. We have the right to support the network or not. This is however the growing dynamic in this country; the expression of biblical beliefs is becoming more and more offensive to our country. Sad indeed.

You're stretching to think a teacher would carry an assault rifle through the school or that a district would allow that. District's that would allow teachers to carry would have strict policies for control.

Neither you or the students would know who's armed.

Looking good. Thanks for the post.

It's hump day. take a load off.     [Hidden Content]

These same type mirages exist no matter who's in office.

BG - Most insurance costs did go up. It's probable that your insurance went up too but your employer covered the increased cost. If the primary benefit of Obama care is affordable insurance to those that can't afford it why must Obama care control the insurance of every American citizen?

Here we go. Back on race again.

Amen

It's obvious the AHCA is beneficial to many but it has had a negative affect on many more Americans than it has helped. If the president would have been willing to modify the plan to be more American friendly it would have been more acceptable.

I agree with everything both of you are saying and on one hand I understand the need for the league to fix this problem fast. On the other hand I'm not quite sure if the punishment fits the offense. I private one on one conversation costs him 2.5 mil. a life time ban and probably forcing him to sell his team. (not taking his past history into consideration)   With that being said, I don't think there would be anyway for him or the Clippers to survive this scandal. I don't have any defense for his actions past and present. He has to be accountable.

It's inevitable that these thread always take a turn for the worse. 

Rodent had it right. It is because of the blatant evidence and the media. Its also about money. This was fixin' to damage the NBA. Damage control was needed fast.

It's not about what's cheaper, its about what's practical. Districts have limited budgets. To pay the cost of an officer on each campus (14) could potential eliminate 20 teacher positions.
