If ebola (there I said it) wasn't big in the current news cycle it wouldn't have meant a thing.

Shoulda said bird flu or something else.

 

Now that's a sensible compromise.

An insignificant football mascot is getting national attention b/c he made this silly sign poking fun at the opponent...hardly worth the negative press, IMO. Maybe it was a little off the mark, big deal...let it slide.

 

Remember Jackie Gleason? Revered for probably 50 years as one of the greatest comedians ever. The Honeymooners  is widely  regarded as one of the best sitcoms ever. Who could ever forget his character, Ralph Kramden, raising his fist to his wife and saying, "You're going to the moon, Alice!".

 

Not a whimper of protest. No outrage. Nothing. Just ongoing accolades for one of the greatest.

I maintain if it was any other mascot of any other of the 31 NFL teams doing the same thing, it wouldn't even be an issue. Because it was a JAGUARS mascot that did it, they have to act faux outraged. 

 

There is some conspiracy going on with the national media and Jacksonville to constantly paint them in a negative light - because [BAD WORD REMOVED] Goodell wants his greedy way and have the franchise move to London or LA. So they think that constant negative press (combined with the conspiracy to keep us unsuccessful on the field) will eventually break us.

TMD, I blame it more on the left-wing PC media than any conspiracy.

I don't agree with you on the conspiracy part but there does seem to be an untoward amount of negative publicity directed at the Jaguars. I doubt the league and RG are orchestrating it.

TMD, wasn't your conspiracy last year that there were only 3 franchise-changing players in the 2014 NFL Draft and the league was conspiring to have Jacksonville finish out of 3rd?

 

Pretty sure it was.

 

Clowney, Bridgewater, and Manziel. The league conspired to have the Jags pick 4th so they couldn't land a franchise changing player.

Yeah it was, but I was way off on Manziel. 

 

I think my above larger context conspiracy is in play though. (I might be off on the particulars of how this is going on....)A franchise cannot be this bad this long, without something being up. Or put it this way.....maybe the Browns have also been - but you don't see the national media all out burying them every chance they get in combination with their losing. Its only Jacksonville that gets that.

 

I will stand firm in my opinion that this is all preconceived so until Goodell gets his way and until there is another NFL team in London or LA thats NOT the Jaguars, then I'm going to be skeptical of the motives going on behind the scenes. 

 

This mascot thing should have been a non-story. Faux outrage.
