    It's a neat thing to do It is odd, but neat.

    Agreed. There is nothing funny about what happened to Haskins and nothing odd or political about honoring him by putting his number on their helmets.

    You know damn well he wasn’t calling the Steelers woke in 2019 when they wore a decal on their helmet for Coach Drake. He’s been so indoctrinated by the talking heads he’s pointing a finger at everyone else, but forgetting there are three more pointing at himself

    WTF is Woke? I'm a free thinker so i'm not driven by dumb $hit.

    Well,

    I Woke up this morning, turned on the news to see the weather, then got up and made a coffee. Is that it?

    I don't need slogans, hats, flags and lies to exist. Some do.

    I guess You just read part of what I said.:shrug:
    Doesn't bother Me in the least. Just seems strange. Doesn't have 2 be strange 2 you , but it is 2 Me. You have Your thoughts, and I will have mine. Thank You.
    We have had other players that have died that they never honored before, and they actually played. :shrug:
    I didn't say anything about politics...unlike a lot of You I don't pay attention 2 politics....I find them stupid on all sides, and they actually do what they want no matter what You care about.

    If I wanted 2 ...I bet I could find multiple comments of You telling what You think they should do. Geez people(not You)..You act like someone said they shouldn't do it. So far I haven't read one person say that...:shrug:
    It's funny how one certain thing can be discussed, and certain people (again not You)become High ,and Mighty. :shrug:
    It was a discussion....now it's slowly turning into a freaking trial. LoL

    I first read this thread with only 2 posts in it. Was going to comment on how it was going to turn into a sh!tshow but I didn't. How prophetic that would have been.
    This board will never cease to amaze me.....

    I was surprised by it because of some of the revelations made after the fact which last I heard or cared to read hadn't been confirmed and I didn't think the Rooney's would potentially paint themselves into a corner if details came to light that it wasn't only a tragic accident. But again they are the type of good people where after a tragedy they would celebrate a person's life and not their demons.

    Every team has had players that died...thats life. But this is honoring a teammate that was on the active roster at the time of his death. Other teams have done the same thing when an active member has died.

    I’m sure many of us (all of us) have made poor decisions in the past especially in our teens and early 20s. Even if he was partying and being irresponsible he certainly didn’t deserve that fate.

    I haven't been around for years, but I am shocked, shocked that cajun turned out to be a broken, radicalized person. I always had him pegged as a very stable genius.

    I personally don't believe there is anything political about it. I see it for what it is. A tribute to a teammate and friend that died tragically.

    You turned a thread about a nice gesture into your warped world view of politics where there was none to be found and you want to talk about clueless? Let me guess, Cajun, you have right wing media on 24/7, on your TV, in your truck, on your computer and if you say different than you can add liar to your many flaws because there is no other way you came up with associating this with any form of wokeness.

    I should have just deleted your stupid ass post instead of letting you taint the whole thread with your bs.

    You know I really didn’t see that coming but perhaps I should have.
