Racist nfl strikes again:Tomlin fined 100 g's and possible draft pick

[Carlos Huerta]

Reading is fundamental breh-

Judging by your Dwight Howard like Dap to Message ratio, you struggle with making sense or credible posts.

I am done with you.

Thanks for blessing us with that post though.

the difference between this and the Sal Alosi(sp) one is Tomlin is the HC, he of all the people on his staff shouldnt be doing shyt like that

its unacceptable either case but i understand why they levied a harsher penalty. Sal was just a strength coach. Tomlin more or less is the face of the steelers and his actions trickle down to his staff. They had to make an example cause it was ridiculous that he even would attempt that.

It could be argued that the trip was sent out by the HC Rex Ryan. Alosi was only fined 25K BY THE JETS NOT THE LEAGUE (the team was fined 100K), so should Rex Ryan had been held accountable?

CACS, c00ns and their supporters want so DESPERATELY to make it seem like race is never a factor. It may not be in this particular case, but who knows?, ive seen too much as a black man on this earth in this country to ever just concede that white peoples actions arent tainted by racism. I dont give a fukk about how others view it, but cacs havent done shyt to ever earn the benefit of the doubt. They LOVE making examples out of black people fam

so where the racism at in this breh?

Exactly!

No one knows but as black people we always have to wonder.

Before today, neither you nor anyone else would have thought of holding Rex Ryan accountable for the actions of a strength and conditioning coach. Now that it's Tomlin who did it, everything has to be rethought

Read my post again, i clearly stated that I dont know if racism is involved, but i never give cacs the benefit of the doubt.

But ask yourself this question:

has a team ever lost draft picks over something that wasn't systemic?

 

[SteelCitySoldier]

Race ain't got shyt to do with this. Tomlin fukked up and now he's paying the price. They let dude off with 25K when they tripped dude, fined the club and thought that was the "example" they had to make. Tomlin pulled this shyt and now they have to make an even bigger statement to make sure this doesn't happen again because what if they lost? Had their kicker missed that field goal and The Steelers won by one instead of lost by two this would have been a shytstorm.

Um no. When that shyt happened the first thing I said to myself was "dude didn't do that shyt on his own". I find it hard to believe he did that shyt on his own, as soon as it happened I said the same thing about Rex as I did Tomlin...well almost the same, it was "Rex a real cac".

This thread is really bizarre.

Tomlin deserved to be fined. He made an obvious mistake, admitted and owned up to it. His behavior was not acceptable. Trying to debate the amount of the fine is a waste of time. Fines in NBA/NFL (leagues I watch) are never consistent.

The draft pick thing, if it happens, is over the top but would punish the Steelers as an organization more-so than Tomlin. I highly doubt that the NFL is going to use racism to justify a punishment against a team that may have one of the BEST track records race relations wise in the NFL.

I understand always being aware of race and the impact it has but if you want to point to racism the burden of proof is on the accuser. There's been absolutely 0 indication that there was any prejudice/racism involved here at all. That's not giving anyone the benefit of the doubt it's just being objective. This whole "I can never be sure racism isn't a factor so let me bring it up in every situation" mindset is lazy and a complete joke.

IMO taking a draft pick is over-excessive. Fine the club another 100K and be done. shyt I expected Tomlin to be fines as well as suspended a game, something I think would truly show anyone thinking of trying that shyt again they better think again.

There's no way they should take a draft pick, doesn't even make sense. If they do I hope it's a throwaway pick like 7th round or compensatory pick.

Ya'll race baiting fakkits need to

Outta here with this bullshyt



The man interfered with the game, he need to take his fine and shutup.

"Racist nfl strikes again" We Mediafakeout now?

Besides, you're only setting yourself up for egg on your face if a league drop the idea of removing a draft pick.

If they do though, will there just be a round with 31 picks, or will the lost pick go to a needier team or even the Ravens since it happened against them?

If they do take one which I doubt, I see Badell taking a 3-5 just as an "example". That s what he does. Funny thing though, is how we're seeing all these racist statements towards Goddell now, but watch in April when they don't get a pick taken and it changes to "see the NFL always looking out for Pittsburgh" lol. Haters gonna hate
