It's not about sports. http://www.r-word.org/

I was in the Best Buddies club in high school, people on here throwing around this word irks me cause I've seen how it makes these kids feel. If you're gonna clean up the language for the "community" at least do a thorough job. Cause every time I see this r-word used on here it's in a negative connotation.

Sorry to derail the thread, back to football.

Not sure how you know how rebranding works.

It goes from the:

Primary

To the secondary

To the alternate

To being used at certain times

To being phased out all together.

The Indians organization is smart, cause it's able to move away and trick simple minded people (case in point) into thinking it's still there when they are just phasing it out.

i would like to think that 98% of the time it's used, it's not in reference to an actual disabled person. this doesn't make it OK to use (as it's usually in a negative way), just going off of marcus' point. i looked at some of the quotes on that site. it's unreal to see that a doctor actually called a patient that. pretty nuts.

:lol: actually Snyder didn't feed me that. I remember reading it in a post by Deuce King himself in the ******** thread.

Deuce King said:
By the way, for the video I posted I wasn't trying to make it seem like Congress put a bill on the floor or anything of the sort.  I simply posted the video from ESPN First Take from today.  In the video I posted it clearly say 10 members of Congress, so that right there states that it's not the entire Congress that sent a letter.



One more time as I posted earlier................

"So in conclusion just to let everyone know, the origin of the name "*******" was created and used by Native Americans but then Europeans and Americans later on began to use the name "*******" as a derogatory term against Native Americans.  That is where the mix up comes into play.  Meaning that the word has negative or disparaging connotations as used by some currently"

@FalconsJAdams: Falcons linebacker Sean Weatherspoon ruptured his Achilles today and will miss the 2014 season.

@FalconsJAdams: Weatherspoon will have a procedure done on his Achilles. He was working with the medical staff when the injury occurred.

Losing Spoon hurts the defense but they'll manage. They've basically played at least 12 games without him since 2012.
 
PFF Article on Coenerbacks:  https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2014/06/10/the-art-of-tracking-and-the-nfls-best-cornerbacks/

Essentially argues that shutting down one side of the field is as good or sometimes better than shadowing a #1 receiver, since it allows the rest of the defense to adjust and overcompensate to track specific players.

Also argues that based on the numbers, Patrick Peterson really needs to be used in a Richard Sherman type role.  He was great on the left side, iffy elsewhere, got destroyed in the slot.

Again points out Revis' 2009 season as basically the standard-setter for the modern era.

"The other point worth making is that taking the top receiver away only helps the defense if you play to a certain level every down you’re tracking him. Patrick Peterson  surrendered seven touchdowns through the air last season tracking receivers. Is that really taking away an opponent’s best weapon? Revis gave up just eight over four seasons of shadowing for the Jets (from his second season onward). There’s no doubting that Peterson is a very good corner, but is he really lockdown all over the field?



Take a look at what Golden Tate was able to do to him when he lined up at RCB during an encounter last season. He turns him inside out at the line and then beats him again after the catch for a big gain. If the idea is to follow the offense’s best guy to neutralize him then plays like this are a major problem.



Joe Haden  was beaten for six touchdowns in 2013 performing a similar role for the Browns. Here he gets caught peeking in the backfield against the Jaguars while playing RCB and was beaten on a double move for a score that cost the Browns the game. I’m not saying either Haden or Peterson are bad players – far from it – but would the Browns and Cardinals have been better off just leaving them to play left corner and tackling troublesome receivers by schematic adjustments?

The numbers at least suggest they probably would have been. Four of Haden’s six touchdowns surrendered came away from the left side while all of Peterson’s were given up while playing a position other than left corner. The passer rating into Haden’s coverage was more than 20 points better when he was at left corner than playing either the slot or right corner while Peterson’s passer rating allowed while playing left corner alone was a pretty ridiculous 9.9.

Haden and Peterson were both asked to shadow receivers because they were good enough to take away that weapon and allow the rest of the defense to concentrate on the rest of the offense, but were they actually good enough away from left corner to justify that tactic?"
