We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful. Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Questions from earlier: Do you think West Point was afraid to reprimand them? Have you read their report? |

All these BLM stock photos are very concerning as well. http://www.freeimages.com/premium/graduates-fist-pump-1004755 |

Denial is a scary place. It's hilarious how you give every liberal cause the benefit of the doubt, but in other situations you are ready to convict with next to zero info or evidence (gz) |

I think the conviction here was actually from those who were assuming this gesture was a political statement....and has since ignored every shred of evidence suggesting otherwise ever since. Posted Image br |

If you'll recall, I took my medicine in the George Zimmerman thread, manned up and admitted I rushed to judgement. It's a shame you seemingly can't do the same here. |

I won't answer for him, only myself. As I said, I was fully willing to wait until the investigation gave its findings. I have confidence that they reached their conclusion based on the facts of the situation. But what is funny to me is that you seem to being bri a pretty big pass here. If the gesture had been intended to be one in favor of BLM, would you or would you not have said it was a political one? |

I already said that if it was indeed a BLM gesture and it broke the rules that they should be punished. Doesn't matter to me if it was BLM or any other political movement. I'll assume they have the rule in place for good reason. |

I don't even think they should be charged if they said it was a BLM gesture, which it wasn't. Had they pointed to the sky, as many athletes or people do as a gesture of faith, this wouldn't even had made a single headline. br |

Are gestures of faith against the rules? Honestly asking. I have no idea. |

No, they are not. It was a bait and switch argument. |

So, just to reiterate, you are saying that BLM is not a political movement? |

That's interesting. I actually didn't know gestures of faith weren't banned. So, fists in the air = baaaaaaad (although, not according to the military). pointing to baby jesus = meh, no biggie (military agrees). thumbs up = do people give thumps up because I've never seen a story on this (military doesn't care, again). Chanting USA USA USA = also probably not an issue (although it can be argued that's a political chant). Chanting USA USA USA with fist in the air = WTFDONTPUSHYOURLUCK (although the military probably doesn't care about this either). So, again, why were people upset about this picture? br |

I think BLM has political elements, for sure. I don't recall saying they were aligning with the BLM movement (and they surely said they weren't, which the military agreed with). What I said isn't political, is being proud of where someone comes from and celebrating their own culture. That's the least political thing I can think of...as it should be, because, well, I'd hope we're better than that as a nation. br |
