White Privilege?
Well I think often it's a matter of empathy and identity. In the library scenario, you have a white student intimitated and treated poorly and the response is that those who performed that should be punished. In the other you have a group bringing up all of the times they have been intimidated or treated poorly and the response is to stop complaining and that's not happening and you are wrong. I don't think you can validate the feelings of one group while immediately deflect the points of the other. If you were constantly told that your feelings weren't correct when you were treated poorly, i'd like to see what your eventual response would be.

David Robertson
QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Nov 17, 2015 -> 09:34 AM) Thank you. Sometimes it seems as if I'm the only one who thinks Montas should be given every chance to start. Those relegating him to closer or the bullpen at this point in his career are misguided. He isn't ready to either start or close in the majors yet as he has control and command issues . His upside is still a number 2 starter and that would be extremely valuable to the Sox. The kid will be 23 in March . Give him a chance to reach his potential. He can always be converted to a reliever when he has proven that he can't start. I feel like "Montas won't be a starter" is just a superficial scouting report that catches on because it's repeated ad nauseum. Like "Sale will get Tommy John", a way of discounting needing to look or give them a chance because you know something.

White Privilege?
QUOTE (Cknolls @ Nov 17, 2015 -> 12:29 PM) A group of Black Lives Matter protestors at Dartmouth College led a violent protest Thursday, hurling racial insults at students and pushing them up against a wall as they tried to study in the library, The Dartmouth Review reports. “f*** you, you filthy white f***s!” “f*** you and your comfort!” “f*** you, you racist s***!” they reportedly yelled. About a 150 Dartmouth protesters shouted as they marched through Baker-Berry Library at Dartmouth College. Students who didn’t join in on their protests were harassed, one woman was pinned to a wall by protesters who shouted, “filthy white b****!” in her face. Students who were seated were told to, “Stand the f*** up!” “You filthy racist white piece of s***!” The protesters actively disrupted students reviewing for exams, entering study spaces and shouting at students who tried to close their door. One student was forced to abandon her study room and ran out of the library. Read more at: http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/42715...ol-david-french “I was sitting in Novack studying when a large group of protestors came in chanting ‘black lives matter.’ They gathered in the center of Novack amongst the tables where there were a number of people working peacefully. They kept shouting and started banging on tables. They demanded that people stand up to show their solidarity. Those who did not stand were targeted and questioned. There was a girl studying in one of the study rooms in Novack and the protestors stormed the room. She closed the door on one of the protestors which resulted in rage from many protestors. The girl then exited silently through the crowd while protestors screamed at her calling her a white b**** . . . After making a girl cry, a protestor screamed “f*** your white tears.” Read more at: http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/42715...ol-david-french Just a little noise........If the roles were reversed these ass clowns would be looking for a new school to attend....But God forbid we offend the little black kiddies and their hatred....Hell maybe they'll get something free out of it.... I'm sorry, you are right. That is abhorrent behavior and the students that behaved that way should be disciplined.

People also forget the bulls offense looked pretty good through december of last year. I'm so annoyed that they brought back brooks at a higher salary when he clearly wasn't working last year. So idiotic.

Everyone watching the bulls in horror. I really hope they have a point where they hit their stride.

My/Your Off Season Plan
QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Nov 16, 2015 -> 04:45 PM) Fair enough. He sucked last year. I just think the Sox are better off keeping him around as I think he'd got the ability to be a very productive bat, and those don't grow on trees (well, bats do grow on trees), and they aren't cheap. Yeah, I think he'll be better. He seems to be one of the better contact hitters on the team. But, I fully supported signing melky and now I hate it. I can't stand these players that don't hit enough to justify their bad defense.

Melky was 49/54 in wRC+ qualified MLB OFers.

I'd like to see us study how the browns attacked the broncos d. But, I'm very nervous about their defense. They are clearly very good. They've kept a bad, bad offense in the playoff lead for their division.

Didn't know AMC picked Halt and Catch Fire up. I really liked season 2, never watched season 1.

Should the White Sox and Atlanta talk trade?
I mean, the thing with atlanta is NOW is the time where you'd expect the fan base to be a lot healthier. in the 90s, nobody was from ATL but there was a huge boom in transplants. Now you'd think their kids would be growing up and starting to fill the ranks. Maybe that's another ten years of wealth, not sure.

We have way too many players that we say "they'd be fine if they could (remove this incredibly crucial aspect to the game of baseball)"

Well, agree to disagree. Manning has had a single good game this year. He has been probably one of the worst quarterbacks in the league. His "healthy" is now so bad that he cannot feel his fingers. He is the 2nd best qb I've ever watched, but I would much rather play him than Osweiler

2015-2016 NFL Thread
Hah, I actually found that to be bad news. Manning has been awful. Osweiller may be better, and "below average" qb with that defense is very dangerous.

What are you talking about? He was moved to the security booth, was on the phone, and as soon as then evacuated him when they were able to.

I'm surprised you even referenced your point and didn't include this weekends poll that only 83% of syrian refugees had a negative view of Daesh.

Dunleavy is probably the single-best fit for Hoiberg's system. I'm excited to see him back soon.

"a majority (51%) agreed that “Muslims in America should have the choice of being governed according to shariah.”" Is this that different from Jewish populations? It's usually applied in family wealth and contract law, not criminal justice. That's a crucial difference.

Gase did a really good job just creating plays that could be done fast. Even so, donald was still a beast. Kudos to the players for taking those plays to the house.
