Agreed. I imagine if Saquon Barkley did the same thing the team’s reaction would have been quite different

Maybe if he had knelt down on a knee while apologizing the Giants would have been okay with it?
The NFL didn't seem to be too worried about their brand during the flag BS.
Not defending Janoris just pointing out the obvious hypocrisy of the NFL and the "Little Giants."
If no other team picks him up can he sue for $40million for collusion?
And then a few months later force the league to conduct a sanctioned workout and demand that every team attend?

Humbly disagree. They had so much blow back that the NFL was doing everything to squash the negative attention. It really hurt their brand and Kap not ever getting another job was a direct result. They wanted no part of that BS. It took a couple years before tv numbers started climbing back(I think its 2 consecutive years of increases). If anything, they are now super sensitive to any negative BS like JJ did. I'm sure a zero tolerance memo went out at some point. I doubt JJ gets a job again this year. The giants could've held on to him and suspended him for conduct detrimental.

Calling Eagles fans retarded is a statement of fact. Present company excluded, of course.

I play golf regularly with a guy who gets all the breaks. Tee shot looks like it’s going OB and when we get down the fairway, there it is in the middle of the fairway. We joke and say he has a China Man who follows him around to toss his ball back out.
Is that offensive?

I agree that the NFL wanted no part of all of that but they actually did almost nothing to make it go away. Instead of taking action they tried to straddle the fence and ended up alienating people on both sides.
I would have liked to have seen a similar type of deliberate action from them as we saw from the giants.
Either way, I don't really care I just thought the quick and decisive action was interesting

Do you think we could get him back. Doesn't he still have one year of eligibility.

I'll go along with Libtards. I like that. I hadn't heard it before. It's perfect English and deserves to be in the OED.

While he has a point, unless he wanted to be released he should have apologized for giving offense. We live in a highly PC works especially New York so adaptation is best.

Some lame attempts at trying to make this political. If the internet was around in the 80s players wouldn't be calling fans retards back then either without consequence. Please just stop... Don't say stupid **** on twitter.

Stop posting - you look like a retard.
If Saquan Barkley had said this and refused to apologize, he'd still be in a Giants uniform today. The Giants were obviously already unhappy with Jenkins.
