NCAA & NFL Football Thread

Believing kneeling during the anthem disrespects America and its flag (so you can conveniently deflect attention from the real issues)? Everyone is rightfully outraged.

Reposting an anti-Semitic, fake Hitler quote and literally saying he was right? KD and Jameis Winston liked his tweet. For the most part, people are silent and not nearly as outraged.

Drew Brees was extremely ignorant and insensitive. He completely missed the point of Kaepernick's protest and willingly ignored the discrimination and oppression minorities face. But DeSean Jackson's comments are equally horrible, if not worse. Where's the outrage?

The answer is easy. But if you confront it, you?re a racist.

Either minorities can't be racist or racism against Jews doesn't matter or both. To my knowledge, not one well-known NFL player or athlete has condemned his comments yet. Teammate Marquise Goodwin and former player Larry Johnson have supported him.

Sad.

It really is.

Ever seen the movie The Animal? It?s absolutely terrible, but there?s a message in there that?s not exactly unfitting.

With the Big 10 (14) canceling the non-conference slate for the upcoming season, it's beginning to look like there might not be a season after all.

Why do we still think of Michigan as a top college football program when they haven't won a national championship since 1948?

Maryland, Ole Miss, Pittsburgh, BYU, and rival Michigan State have won championships more recently than Michigan.

1997.

And they might not be current heavyweights such as Clemson, Ohio State, Alabama etc. They have the most wins all time.

Including 1997 (I was counting Nebraska, but yeah Michigan went undefeated and won the Rose Bowl), Michigan has 11 claimed National Championships but only 1 after 1948.

They've been obviously surpassed by Alabama, Notre Dame, USC, Texas, and Ohio State but also less obvious schools like Auburn, Florida, LSU, Penn State, and Florida State.

Fans typically think Michigan's program is ahead of the latter schools, but they've all won at least 3 championships in the last 50 years.

Michigan has the most all time wins, but their only case for still being a top school is championships from literally 70-120 years ago.

The schools I bolded are blue bloods, so no shame in being surpassed by them. The others are traditionally top 15 teams, not sure is they've surpassed them but no complaint here.

Valid point, no issues with that here.

Agreed, however those fans, especially the older ones hold on to that as a fact to help them think they're still the top dog.
