I have no problem with words. That’s what we use them for. If you act like a retard you’re a retard.
Of course you don’t use the word to refer to a real retard.
So in a way calling you a retard is a compliment acknowledging ur not actually a retard.

I prefer real retards over most of the people I have ever actually referred to as a retard :lol:

his apology was sad because if you read the article he keeps saying sorry, but its my slang??? Meaning, he's not really sorry

My mother hated the word. I think Mom took care of a disability kid when she was a young teen. So for 48 years I never used the word. But then I had a friend who would use it all the time and even call her kids retarded when they did something stupid. So it slipped back into my lexicon.

Janoris is happy. Can't blame him being thrilled to get out of that dumpster fire. He'll get a new team in seconds.

Just over an hour's drive south, Janoris. We need corners and Gators. And we don't care what words you use.
Please make this happen.

It's PC gone mad.
Slight disagreement. Jenkins is representing a brand...2 brands actually. The Giants and the NFL. No cares what we say on GC. But millions see that crap and it's part of being a player these days. The NFL is a giant marketing machine. That ish dont fly.

I agree from a business perspective. I guess it boils down to freedom of speech doesnt equal freedom from consequences.

It will fly just fine for the next team that signs him in the next few days.
