This Myles Garrett issue is going to get nasty. He is doubling down on accusing

DJROSS

Assault him physically, then assault his character.

Mister P

2/17/20 8:18am

At least he's consistent.

Who freaking cares? Hearing a slur doesn’t give you open season to assault someone.

Indy Coug

2/17/20 8:26am

The fact some people use this as an excuse is gross

Belboz

What is it and what have we turned it into? Can’t think of a worse thing

The Dude Abides

2/17/20 9:08am

Name calling doesn't excuse physical assault.

Belboz

2/17/20 9:34am

That word goes well beyond “name calling”.

The Dude Abides

2/17/20 9:47am

Which word are we talking about? Racist or the N-word (or some other language)?

gmj81

2/17/20 9:52am

So does it justify a physically violent response or not?

Indy Coug

2/17/20 9:53am

I think any person who uses the N word toward another person deserves

The Dude Abides

2/17/20 9:59am

Ah yes, instead of working to diminish the outrage culture, let's fully embrace and celebrate it.

Byron McNertney

2/17/20 10:00am

It’s not a normal insult. It says way more than other words.

The Dude Abides

2/17/20 10:05am

Dude....put down the shovel...and walk away.

TheHop

2/17/20 10:12am

Tell me where I’m wrong.

The Dude Abides

2/17/20 10:14am

All I can say is one will get you into an argument and most likely lower peoples

DJROSS

2/17/20 10:22am

You're wrong.

GigantorCat

2/17/20 11:00am

Violence isn't a good response.

Belboz

2/17/20 1:01pm

I didn’t say it was a good response.

The Dude Abides

2/17/20 2:25pm

I lived in Carson California and went to school there. The most racist people

chazen

2/17/20 1:41pm

No, we shouldn't justify one terrible behavior just because another terrible behavior exists. WTY? Sure, when I was

Byron McNertney

2/17/20 10:16am

So, in your opinion, it is never understandable for a guy to get punched?

The Dude Abides

2/17/20 10:34am

Huge difference between something being "understandable" and advocating for

StantonMac

2/17/20 10:39am

I didn’t advocate for it. I said they deserved it. I also said

The Dude Abides

2/17/20 10:42am

Save the parsing for contract law.

StantonMac

2/17/20 10:59am

When I was younger I often found cause as to why someone deserve to get punched

DJROSS

2/17/20 10:41am

That's not even close to what I said and I think you know that. I accept this straw man as your concession.

Byron McNertney

2/17/20 10:44am

Concession? We’re we arguing?

The Dude Abides

2/17/20 10:46am

Over words? Of course not. That's very immature behavior.

Belboz

2/17/20 1:09pm

That girl was asking to be raped. Did you see what she was wearing?

SpiffCoug

2/17/20 11:15am

My biggest issue is that many are highly selective on when they are outraged

StantonMac

2/17/20 10:01am

This is one of the legacies of the modern left

vegas guey

2/17/20 10:22am

Hmm. Hadn’t heard that before about the left.

The Dude Abides

2/17/20 10:34am

Yeah you’re part of the problem

YIsForBrigham

2/17/20 11:36am

Worse than calling someone that is falsely accusing someone of saying it.

CopperLix

2/17/20 2:36pm

And yet, every day, we have MLB fans on CB lusting for cheaters

gmj81

2/17/20 9:24am

Who is calling for “high” heat?

StantonMac

2/17/20 9:32am

Because that's not assualt? Or because pitchers always have that much control?

gmj81

2/17/20 9:37am

That would be great if a few guys had to sit for a month with a broken rib

StantonMac

2/17/20 9:42am

Ha, pitchers miss by that much all the time. At least that is their defense

gmj81

2/17/20 9:54am

Wrong. They don’t miss by feet when throwing a fastball at waist level.

StantonMac

2/17/20 10:03am

RE: Wrong. They don’t miss by feet when throwing a fastball at waist

gmj81

2/17/20 10:15am

Also, the unwritten rules in baseball are part of what's wrong with it

gmj81

2/17/20 10:22am

Lol. Yes it hurts. And how much it hurts is irrelevant.

StantonMac

2/17/20 10:25am

When you do it on purpose, it should be assault. Shouldn't matter if it's the

gmj81

2/17/20 10:30am

Meh. If you can't do the time, don't do the crime. A fastball to the ribs should

StantonMac

2/17/20 10:38am

There is a reason crimes of passion are punished less severely than premeditated

Ozymandias

2/17/20 8:48am

Garrett will lose. And it will cost him financially...heavily.

COUGZ

2/17/20 8:27am

The nfl has to have the sound right? They’ve got parabolic mics all over the field

YIsForBrigham

2/17/20 8:28am

Agreed. Challenge as I see it is that not a single player has seconded Garrett's

COUGZ

2/17/20 8:59am

Pouncey has definitively said he did not say it

YIsForBrigham

2/17/20 9:08am

I thought the NFL already conducted an investigation and said they had nothing to validate Garrett's claim.

SpiffCoug

2/17/20 9:05am

Obviously he’s lying as that would be the first thing he would be screaming at

cougfanz

2/17/20 8:31am

That's why Tomlin backs his guy 100%

BlackBart

2/17/20 8:43am

The defamation of Randolph is worse than the attack. He and his teammates would
