Or perhaps what you're objecting to is my use of his plight to disparage someone else?David G

A. because of your condition.
B. because you have not yet, seemingly, come to terms with your condition sufficiently to appreciate dark humor... even about others with your condition.David G

Re: Next UP for Denver QB: a run for the Senate as a Republican
What’s wrong is you equating someone with a real problem with people who you disagree with politically, simply, it seems, to add more fuel to the fire. To poke an eye.
It’s gross for you to joke about other people’s conditions, and even worse to suggest that people are afflicted with something that already comes with such stigma attached, simply because of their politics and job performance. They must be dumb or crazy, eh?
How must this poor kid feel? Maybe if he suffered these injuries for your team you’d cut him more slack, tease someone else?
I’ve lost more than a few friends from this disease, including one this summer. Yeah, aside from young Nick, I also lost two friends to self inflicted gunshot wounds. We’ll never know if it was CTE, because the brain is mist.
It’s just tacky joke.
Peace,

Nurp. I get it. And don’t ever presume to know what I think or feel. You refused the opportunity to become friends, so we ain’t, remember? You don’t know me at all. You know what I type.

I also urge you to read a bit more carefully, before you conclude that I 'presume to know what [you] think or feel'.
I'll also suggest that you continue to work on how easily you are triggered, and how quickly you 'presume' ill-intent. I never 'refused' to become friends with you - you simply didn't recognize the hand I held out... maybe because it also held a rubber chicken? Or was it a buzzer? No matter. If you think back honestly - I believe you will remember that - while I may have been the first to notice this tendency - I am by no means the only one.
I hold no animus toward you - then or now - but will also retain the right to make my own judgments about controversial matters... and to state the conclusions bluntly at times... perhaps even using rude or dark humor. Your reactions to any and all of that... are your own. You're welcome to share them, as I might gain from the perspective. But don't think they'll be taken as gospel.Last edited by David G; 10-24-2018, 02:39 PM.David G

I'm afraid Rob that everything is political. And if if it was suggested the game rules were to be changed so as to ensure that such injuries could not happen again that sure would become political in no time flat.Comment

Someone is not happy with their team! One of the replies:

CTE is a possibility. It was not my first thought. My first thought was substance abuse and/or mental illness. He had issues in college."They have a lot of stupid people that vote in their primaries. They really do. I'm not really supposed to say that but it's an obvious fact. But when stupid people vote, you know who they nominate? Other stupid people." -- James Carville on the plethora of low-quality GQP candidates in the mid-term election.Comment

Also possibilities, I'd think. Since rob inspired me to put my Serious Hat on... let's hope he gets the help he needs. Likely, he can afford it. But can friends and family get him to go get it??David G
