I don't disagree but the fawning over the same quarterback we had here a few years ago who was considered "polarizing" is kind of amusing to me.

Wentz hasn't been here long enough lol...

It's interesting how the "he's just padding his stats in garbage time" excuses aren't being used anymore for this quarterback.  Not saying that he is, but just a few years ago this thread would have been full of them.

It's because last week he showed he doesn't need garbage time to have basically these same stats.

From back in August.

1,980 people apparently let their cats vote for them lol…

Nope, a sign is easy; context or not. 

Then why did you say they didn't provide any context if you're now saying context is irrelevant?

There was no context provided. 

You seemed to think no context was needed.

Making a sign is easy..

Raise your hand if you think the only thing they did was make a sign...

I'm enjoying the show. They showed the first Superbowl win. Very indepth. He and Drew Pearson were on the same HS team. He was threw Drew's first throw for a 60 TD.

Everybody's in on this:

And for the record:

"Undocumented immigrants are individuals who have either illegally entered the United States without inspection, or legally entered the United States with valid nonimmigrant visas but those visas have expired."

For the same reason that the trait that defines Cowboy fans is being a Cowboy fan?  

So "undocumented" won't do? Seems to be more accurate when labeling a person instead of the act.

Just now, Larry said:

No. It won't. Because it's not accurate. 
 

These aren't people who are here legally, they just left the house without their photo ID. (At least, the people I'm talking about aren't. Yes, I am sure that there are people who do fit that description.)

Fortunately "undocumented" does NOT mean "left home without their ID". Nobody who lives in this country is ever called "undocumented" because they left their purse at home. Never. Ever.

The same reason we refer to people as "drunk drivers".  Because they have committed a crime with their actions and it is a simple way to define a group of people who have committed that particular illegal act?

For the most part, we don't actually label people "drunk drivers"...we label the act as "drunk driving" or say they were arrested for DUI. I was (wrongfuly) arrested for drunk driving once...they were putting me in a room with several other people who could barely hold their heads up. I looked at the officer and said "Were they all arrested for drunk driving?" What I--nor the police--did not say was "Are they all drunk drivers?"

Because it’s the one that separates them from everyone else. 
 

And until people actually adhere to this idea across the board, and don’t just demand it when it’s used about a group they support, spare me the dehumanizing argument. We’re a society that gets by with labels. It’s lazy. That’s why we do it

 

It’s no less lazy when you use it on other groups - which I’m sure you do, because basically everyone does. 

So "undocumented" won't do?

.. merely because the trait that defines them is them knowingly doing something illegal. 

Why should that be the trait that defines them?
