Konshage: Stay or Go

[boydbuff]

FYI, the witch hunt may have to end if our "friend" at the DP has accurate info on the kid's outside activities and the possibility that he didn't even send the tweet to begin with.

...which is why you talk to the kid first. Duh.

**** I was in the pool and one of the homies got on my phone and voted in this poll. Can I change my vote?

 

[FlatironsBuff]

I don't know. If I saw that that tweet had gone out on my account and I didn't send it, I would have immediately tweeted "Somebody got on my phone at a party and sent that tweet! Not me!"

Then I would have called my coach and explained things. If that didn't happen, I am having a hard time from keeping the needle from pegging off of the top of the bullship meter.

On the other hand, Yuri stayed. But that was a different coach, who was desperate to save his job. Think MM should go to the team and let them have a say in the decision process? Could be a bonding thing..the family decides if Sam gets to join it. Discuss.

Stay, he apologized, young people make mistakes, the last thing we should do is deny him an opportunity to go to school.

Big difference between denying someone the ability to go to school and denying them a free ride to play football.

Agreeing with BB2 makes me feel dirty.

I am not sure that it is fair for this particular community to characterize backlash against the use of a term that originated as a tool for dehumanizing a subjugated population and evolved into the gold standard for racist language as "being too sensitive." I mean really: what is the basis for that? Garden-variety South-Park-style conventional conservative wisdom? Some tired, hackneyed meme about "Boulder PC Police?"

There goes any hope you had to join Mensa. :lol:

It's always a challenge for me to know just what the hell you're talking about. In this case, I think you are somehow working off the feeling that people here are defending the tweet. How you're coming to that conclusion is beyond me.

I think the poll results are pretty clear.

There's a four letter word for you: Yuri.

We gave one kid a chance to redeem himself after he was an idiot in school with Twitter.

Well, if Sam's story checks out, that's fine. But Yuri's actions still don't quite equate, because of the word and context involved.
