Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. 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!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

I don't believe that is the case...but as long as we're just making stuff up and ignoring facts, i might as well state that as a fact.

The body knows what fighters don't: how to protect itself. A neck can only twist so far. Twist it just a hair more and the body says, "Hey, I'll take it from here because you obviously don't know what you're doing... Lie down now, rest, and we'll talk about this when you regain your senses." It's called the knockout mechanism.

Lol. Now the West Point Cadets were doing it because...Beyonce.

Question aaron: Do you think West Point was afraid to reprimand the cadets? Did you read the report?
You do know the background of the Superbowl performance of 'Formation', don't you?

I have no problem with the performance in that we are talking about an event where the organizers of the Superbowl had obviously seen the performance or known what was going to happen prior to the Super Bowl and obviously had approved it. We aren't talking about someone sneaking something in like what happened with 'the wardrobe malfunction'. Bottom line, if you disproved of that performance so much, let the NFL know or let their sponsors know. Or boycott Beyonce or her recording company. Or don't care about it, or support the performance. That's your prerogative.



Yeah. And? Beyonce doing it in a performance while singing a song specifically about political and social commentary doesn't mean the cadets raised their fist in the air because Beyonce did it in the Superbowl. That seems like quite a stretch to me.
is it more of a stretch than the idea that these girls all decided to raise their fists for a photo, yet it had nothing to do with BLM or any other black "rights" movement? I think not.
Questions from earlier:

Despite an official investigation, testimony, and a decision not to punish, you still claim that it is 100% a BLM expression. You are basing that assertion on absolutely nothing besides your opinion.

I read an article about the report, but not the complete report. What I read said that they acted in appropriately but they don't believe it was a political gesture. If that's the case then why was it in appropriate?

And it should be obvious why West Point would be hesitant to punish these girls in today's culture.

There was def more than that in the report which states why they feel it was not a BLM gesture, evidence to support that finding, and also (answering your question) why it was still inappropriate (technically, I believe it said they showed a lack of awareness, not that it was inappropriate, but I'd have to reread to check).

As far as punishment, I really don't think West Point gives 2 fucks about whether the public feels the cadets should be punished or not. But either way, the fact that you still think they went completely unpunished is probably why you feel the way you do. Read the letter, then come back to me and tell me what you think.

http://www.westpoint.edu/news/Shared%20Documents/Supt%20Letter.pdf

P.S. - There's additional info reported that isn't even in that letter which further supports the finding that it wasn't a political statement. After you read the letter, I'll link you to it.
