The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

That's not the definition of insanity, that's just something ignorant people repeat on the internet to sound deep.

And no one is doing the "same thing". Anyone who thinks government composition or policy has been the same over any length of time is ignorant as hell.

I don't play that right vs left gangbanging shyt.

Yet you came into a thread that wasn't about politics at all to repeatedly deflect to Biden, post false right-wing talking points, and post messages from a right-wing Twitter account.

You still haven't even admitted that your claim about the original article was false. But you clearly know it is, which is why you keep deflecting to Biden.

I pointed out Anti-Black racist.

You're the simpleton that is stuck on the dikk of the left vs right or Democratic vs Republican gangbanging.

I don't give two fukks what a person that lack basic critical thinking skills wants to label me as something.

Not only tried to deflect from Jerry Jones with an old quote from an unrelated person, but distorted the quote too?

He still hasn't explained where he picks up all those right-wing talking points about the Washington Post and Bezos or those right-wing Twitter accounts he follows.

 

[El Bombi]

Left-wing isn't Anti-Black as well according to simpleton of the Coli.

 

[Wargames]

Public apology
Sensitivity training
Meet with black leaders
Donate to black causes
Give a presentation on systemic racism
Denounce everyone in the photo

And Jerry ain’t gonna do none of that

Maybe he donates a few 100,000’s to a black org that supports football so he can justify it as an investment.

What is it with y'all and this "I'm not shocked" shyt? Every time. Was the point to SHOCK you? Is that the only reaction anything? Who here is acting shocked? That's not even a reply

I'm more surprised it's actually Jerry fukkin Jones in that picture. Not shocked.

He can always say he was just out there due to the commotion. He's not yelling or doing anything accusatory in this photo.

But unless this gets to a blue check source, it's a nonstory

And that’s exactly what he did/said. Optics aren’t the greatest but his explanation and looking at the picture….it’s not the smokin Gun I wanted.

Honestly, what do we expect to happen from this? I think everyone assumed Jerry was a racist anyway, so this photo isn’t exposing anything new. Also, this photo doesn’t actually show him partaking in the bullying, as he’s standing behind some reporters looking on.

Probably 25 pages of back and forth on here (over multiple threads) that accomplish nothing, while over 20M people still watched the Cowboys play yesterday.

The pic was to show he has a lifetime of not doing anything to help black coaches, which is what the article is about.

Here is an article earlier in the series about Clarence Shelmon:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/interactive/2022/clarence-shelmon-nfl-black-coaches/

In the early weeks of 2000, Shelmon got a strange call from a friend and fellow NFL coach.

“Why are you turning down the Saints interview?” asked the friend, whom Shelmon declined to name.

Shelmon, at the time the Cowboys’ running backs coach, didn’t know what his friend was talking about, but he soon found out: The New Orleans Saints, Shelmon said, had asked the Cowboys for permission to interview him for their offensive coordinator job — a promotion that could have positioned Shelmon for a future head coaching role.

But Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, Shelmon said, had denied the Saints permission without informing Shelmon about the inquiry. According to Shelmon, once he found out, he confronted Jones in the owner’s office.

“I said, ‘Jerry, I hear the Saints called to inquire about me as the offensive coordinator,’ ” Shelmon recalled. “And he said, ‘Yeah, Clarence, they called.’ I said, ‘But you didn’t tell me.’ He said: ‘Well, I knew you weren’t going to be calling the plays. They just wanted you to come and work with their running game.’ ”

The NFL’s anti-tampering rules would prohibit the Cowboys from blocking Shelmon’s opportunity today, but those regulations were less stringent 22 years ago. The Cowboys did not dispute Shelmon’s account, saying their actions were within the league’s rules and that the team valued Shelmon enough to want to keep him. Jones, through a team spokesperson, declined to comment.

Whether Jones’s maneuver was within the rules is immaterial to Shelmon. “Either way,” he said, “it was still wrong.”

Instead of Shelmon, the Saints hired Green Bay Packers quarterbacks coach Mike McCarthy. Six years later, the Packers hired McCarthy back as their head coach; he spent 13 years in the top job, winning the Super Bowl following the 2010 season, and is now in his third season as coach of the Cowboys, his career earnings sitting comfortably in the tens of millions of dollars.

Shelmon is a native of Bossier City, La., about 2½ hours from Dallas. When he took the position as the Cowboys’ running backs coach in 1998 — choosing it over a similar opportunity with the Colts, he said — he did it to be close to home and to work with Emmitt Smith, the future Hall of Famer who already was a four-time all-pro. But there was a third reason: When Shelmon was deciding between the Cowboys and the Colts, he chose Dallas, he said, in part because Jones had promised to help advance his career toward his ultimate goal of becoming a head coach.

“That always stuck with me. I’ll never forget it,” Shelmon said. “I thought that was wrong, particularly when [Jones] said if I come there, he was going to help me with my advancement.”

You didn't answer the question. What do you expect to happen from this?

The question isn’t relevant to what the article is discussing. That’s why I encourage you all to read the article.
