As I said in a past thread, we have gone to far in this country. It's no longer just the left, it's becoming more and more mainstream.


quote:


Robert Griffin III, the now-former Washington quarterback, was about to wear a Christian T-shirt at a post-game press conference until the NFL said...ummmm, no. RG3's shirt read "Know Jesus No Peace" and, simultaneously, "No Jesus No Peace."



On a quick side note, the writer of this piece included a picture of the shirt.... yet the writer can't spell it right. It's important to spell it right in order for the shirt to make sense. It's not "Know Jesus NO peace" It's "Know Jesus KNOW peace"

Back to the story...


quote:

frankly, I'm glad they told him not to wear it.
It's one thing to say "Know Jesus No Peace." It's a pretty positive statement about one man's religious belief about the power of Jesus in his life. But "No Jesus No Peace" tells me that because I don't "believe in Jesus," I have "no peace" in my life. Kinda crappy and 100% negative.



This is becoming the norm.


quote:

CBS had the real reason he was asked to turn the shirt inside-out. Shocker - it had nothing to do with Jesus:
According to NFL bylaws, players are prohibited from wearing clothing with personal messages on game-days.


A complete lie. That rule is not really enforced.

Um, yes it is.

If you don't believe it, think about what some of the enterprising young men in the NFL would have marketed if allowed free latitude on clothing.

I googled around and the only instances I could find of the NFL coming down on players for shirts were situations where they violated exclusive endorsement deals the NFL had in place. This appears to be the case in this situation.

It actually is, ridiculously so in fact. The NFL has enforced this rule and even fined players for a lot of stupid shite over the past decade or so.

While I think the shirt's message is misguided and silly (sounds like one of those dorky shirts you'd buy at Michael's) saying he can't wear it is stupid.

All that being said, Griffin wearing that is kinda funny. The Baylor basketball team ran a train on his now wife while they were at Baylor and he himself was a Plan-B frequent flyer.

Yeah, this is what the NFL should be flying off the handle over right now. Douchebags.

Should have had," know Allah, know peace" instead, he would have been golden!

This is truth, however

if you spend your entire life depending on yourself to achieve or find inner peace, the devil is having a ball inside your dome.

I'm a little more disappointed in RG3 turning it inside out than the request.

Thank God! We don't see
e any pot smoking hippie sayings on tshirts like know Jesus know peace. Might influence the kids.

Now if the shirt said something like Jesus is my 2nd Amendment, then I'd be kissed he couldn't wear it.

Didn't RGIII cheat on his wife fairly publicly like 6 months ago? Is he a Cornball Christian as well?

You do realize that if there is a rule in place then, enforced or not, it is not a "complete lie" don't you?

This thread didn't turn out the way you hoped it would huh?

If the NFL was interested in being PC correct, about 10% of their players would be suspended.

All the NFL cares about is $$$$ and protecting their endorsers.
