Its actually called being objective, give it a try some time...it is refreshing...you actually get facts and make an informed decision based on them.
Like a dude posting a bunch of hate about black individuals and then taking it down because of the optics . . . of his own opinions. No ones making anything up man. Except you in your defense of his statements and actions. Taking individually any of his statements and comments may seem innocuous. In the aggregate, paints a vivid picture to everyone except those that choose to willingly blind themselves.

NB missed whitewashing his dislike of James Harden...of course, he followed up with his love for CP3...

For the love of the football gods, can everyone here stop getting all political before this thread gets moved to that forum nobody reads while I am campaigning


That's why I put it in PR forum that nobody reads. I knew this would happen here.

:D

Edit; I'm all in with Oliver!

Josh Allen actually tweeted racist vile excrement and was able to command a locker room after being drafted in the top 10. This is all nonsense

Did he “command a locker” though? It was a rookie year in a bad season. Who knows what the guys in the locker room truly think about him? Not you and I. But I can say that I recall playing football in high school with quite a few black friends. There were two guys who were known to have made racist comments. Let’s just say a lot the guys on the team (a) didn’t respect the racist guys, (b) wouldn’t have had their backs on the field, and (c) were unhappy following them onto the field. And our coaches and most of the school were as clueless to this as are you and I to the Bills locker room.

I didn't see anything overtly racist. He's obviously a Trump supporter, but those tweets aren't racist, just critical. I'm not a big fan of Beyonce and I think Draymond is an cornholio. Does that make me racist?

Imo.. more than possible undertones of racism, is the fact he took down the tweets to save face. If he didn't and owned his opinions and came out with a simple explanation that would have been better..optics wise.

There’s no such thing as a non-racist who is a trump fan like this. I sincerely believe that you could vote for trump because you don’t like Hillary or whatever, but you can’t say that’s Trump is “GOAT” unless you’re a racist.

Not sure if you're serious or not. Trump is a very polarizing figure. Some love him, some can't stand him. Doesn't mean everyone one that loves him hates black people, just like it doesnt mean everyone that can't stand him hates white people. Blanket statements like yours are more ignorant than his "Beyonce's music is trash" tweet.

Have to agree Bosa's opinions bother me a tiny bit. I am going to afford him the same benefit of doubt I gave to Rosen. I think Bosa will be OK in the locker room once the team hits the ground running.

I believe he has great technique so he should have similar success to his brother.

That being said, he is the ultimate blah pick at #1. I can't even say he is a high ceiling player because of the injury risk.

To me, he is medium ceiling medium reward.

Please keep the P&R and who is a racist thing out of the thread.

Though I am sure he and Rosen will get along great.

Yes agreed. Taking it down looks worse. And looks guilty.

I didn't see one racist tweet? If he is a fan of POTUS, he is racist and only allowed to comment about white people?

Please show an example of a racist post...you know, one that meets the classical definition, as in criticism about an individual or a group based on their race...

Not one based on the fact he is a Trump supporter and commented about athletes or entertainers which happen to be black (which I do not follow him on twitter, but I am sure, just like eveyone else his age, he has "well informed" comments about EVERYONE) meanwhile a clickbait site pulls a few out of context and frames them as racist and here we are...
The writer began his race baiting in the first sentence! racism is in the eye eye the accuser!

I looked a the Root article and looked at his timeline, my son makes similar "observations" about athletes, musicians, and movies...I guess its a good thing he's black so he can get away with saying stuff about the black athletes, musicians, and movies...crap, I better tell him to erase all of the ones critical of white players, music, and movies...might affect his rugby career.

So I went and signed up on Twitter to do just this. I have never had a Twitter account. I kind of loathe the idea of it. I get most tweets via ASFN and Facebook. At least I get enough of them that way. But I figure if I’m going to have an opinion of this young man it’s worthwhile to dig in a little more deeply. And so i did what i thought I’d never do . . . I signed up for Twitter. What I wanted to see was, whether he similarly post hateful items about white people? If this was the Root cherry picking it may change my viewpoint. Unfortunately I have to admit, I’m so Twitter unsophisticated I couldn’t figure out how to really review his Twitter feed to provide me an answer. I’ll keep trying because everyone should be given a chance before being labeled (at least in my mind). I’ll report back if I find out anything that advances this discussion.

Would say a lot if Bosa dropped in the draft because of his MAGA comments and criticism of Kaepernick. Although I detest Trump, his antics, and his cronies, I’m not naive to think that the team doesn’t have a few Trump supporters in the locker room. Hell, Bidwill publicly endorsed Brett Kavanaugh, warts and all.
