Symbols matter.
Agree completely. I would suggest closing your facility on a Friday in summer isn't very high on the symbol-meter though.
Letter to the editor in today's Charlotte Observer:I am a military veteran who served two tours in Vietnam. I was wounded in 1968 and witnessed the death of fellow soldiers. I understand the cost required to preserve what our flag represents.When the NFL kneeling protests started a few years ago, I wasn't sure it was the right venue. But after much soul-searching, I asked myself, "Why not?" Kneeling is a solemn position, a sign of homage. Sure, it's a protest, but it's a very respectful protest.Where I see disrespect is when some members of our society are not afforded "liberty and justice for all." Let's be honest. It's not now, and has never been, an even playing field. Taking a knee to request our nation live up to its values and ideals is a patriotic act I can stand behind.- Patrick McLaughlin, CharlottePeople forget that it was a soldier who advised Kaepernick to kneel, that it was a respectful way to protest. If there are pro sports in 2020, folks are gonna see a lot of kneeling. So better to accept it for what it is than freak out.
Cam signs 1 year, $7.5 million deal with the Pats.
And there goes the theory that Flacco was signed and Cam wasn’t for racial reasons. Cam got five times the contract.
Cam signed for the minimum. He can earn up to 7.5 million through incentives. Not sure what those incentives are yet.That's not to say race was a reason, but 7.5 million is likely not the value of the contract.
Fair, but Flacco is only guaranteed $550K. So Cam’s earning potential is far greater than Flacco’s in his contract. Also, who knows how easy some of those incentives are to hit.
@ABC7News: JUST IN: @FedEx has asked the Washington @Redskins to change its name. Here is the statement:“We have communicated to the team in Washington our request that they change the team name.“
Apparently Nike pulled all Redskins apparel from their website
Lots of names floating around, including Warriors. This one is interesting:https://twitter.com/OllieConnolly/status/1278821758053818369?s=19
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
I like this one. Other than people being upset that the name changed at all, not sure what problem people could have with this as a replacement.
