Please don't try that meathead. You started with the name calling so don't try playing the innocent. When I come to the Browns boards and start calling people idiots then you can talk classless. UNtil then,STFU!
WHOA, WAIT!! Don't turn ANY of this on me....
If anything, you irrelevant posts have made me think you are a greater idiot than I initially thought, regardless of WHAT team I or you root for.
You have threatened to beat me up, called me numerous names and I have only called you and idiot and classless, which I may say was prompted by you openly stateing that you've "hit a woman" and you almost looked for redemption for you ridiculous actions among your brethern. NO, I repeat, NO way is hitting a woman excusable.
I don't care what team you anyone roots for, YOU opened the door. YOU should've known better.

I think some people are misunderstanding what I am saying here. I'm not trying to put athletes on a pedestal, and I'm not saying that what they do has the ultimate affect on the raising of our children. All I'm saying is that in this age of information, our children are subject to this type of behaviour and we aren't able to protect them from it the way that we were protected growing up. Is that all bad? No, there are benefits to this information age, I love the internet...how else could I spend an hour or two chatting with my fellow Steelers fans?
All I'm saying is that it is MY responsibility to raise my children and to educate them about the perils and joys of life and these idiots don't make it any easier. At no time in our history have celebrities been more accessible, and with that accessibility we see their flaws mercilessly. They ARE in the spotlight, and they ARE held to a higher standard. That is the cost of being a celebrity. As such, they need, on a larger scale, to be held accountable for their actions. Its not acceptable for any of us to commit an act of cowardice like this, but when a celebrity does it, he better be punished for it. That's all I'm saying. Too often, these guys get off clean because they are celebrities, and it should be the opposite. It is that lack of punishment that has an adverse effect on our youth, not necessarily the committing of the crime itself.

If he married the woman it would bew his duty to smack her around a bit. The Steelers are becoming the thugs of the NFL.

James Harrison was wrong but he shouldn't be cut. Its not the Steelers responsibility to make a statement on this. He should make a statement himself and not through his lawyer.

WHOA, WAIT!! Don't turn ANY of this on me
What a weasel you are Meathead. The problem with being a weasel on record is anyone can go back and see what was actually said. I guess that didn't occur to you. (and you have the nerve to question my intelligence, lol)
You start by calling me an idiot,
Oldhead - IdiotI responded by laughing,
Oh no ! Meathead calls me an idiot! Whatever am I to do? Hahahahah.... ahhh, thanks meathead, I needed a good laugh!And of course you respond by calling me an idiot again,
And this guy wonders why I called him an idiot...Thanks for solidifing my point, oldhead.
Twice you called me an idiot. Once I let it slide and try to laugh it off. Calling me an idiot twice is not something you would do IRL so why do you do it in cyberspace? I'll tell you why, it's because you're a weaselly troll. That's my take on your postings. Prove me wrong.
You have threatened to beat me upReally? No, I think I said ... well I don't have to remember it do I?
Look azzwipe, I don't want to argue with you...We both know if you were standing next to me in a bar I'd bltch slap you like the little puss you are.That's right! I said you were a puss and I'd bltch slap you IF YOU WERE STANDING NEXT TO ME IN A BAR.
I have only called you and idiot and classless, which I may say was prompted by you openly stateing that you've "hit a woman" " and you almost looked for redemption for you ridiculous actions among your brethernTwo opinions that don't mean chit to me!
And then your final opinion,
NO, I repeat, NO way is hitting a woman excusable.My whole life I have stood up for the underdog. I've always opposed bullies but is my opinion that there are times when hittting (slapping) a person, man or woman, across the mouth is not only excusable but appropriate!
You call me an idiot because I have an opinion that is different than yours. I derive my opinion from a lifetime of learning and experiences. You base yours on an abstract ideal that makes you feel good about yourself.
Humph, I'm not impressed.

WOW, I am shocked and stunned by your surreal response.
If you are trully serious, you need to reread all of these threads. You use curse words and bully (even though you oppose bullies) tactics to prove your point. You far EXCEEDED calling me any amount of names. In the last response alone are more than 6 examples than any, please note the following:
- Meathead - 3 TIMES (this isn't my screen name unless you have a reading disorder, then ok)
- azzwipe
- Weasel - 2 TIMES
- Weasly Troll
- Little Puss
- Let alone you subtle sarcasm about MY intellect - please refer to the end of the first paragraph. Your way of calling me an idiot.
I win round ONE!
And you openly accept threatening me with violence, I repeat, YOU OPENLY ACCEPT THREATENING ME WITH VIOLENCE (yes, YOU confirmed this FACT above ). And by your own admission, YOU are a trully a criminal. Please read:
my opinion that there are times when hittting (slapping) a person, man or woman, across the mouth is not only excusable but appropriate!
By the way, this IS a textbook Criminal Act.
I win round TWO!
Calling me an idiot twice is not something you would do IRL so why do you do it in cyberspace?Calling someone an idiot is far worse than hitting someone??!?!? Have you lost absolutely your mind?!?!?
I win round THREE!
As for your last paragraph, let me summarize.
You call me an idiot because I have an opinion that is different than yours.
Yes and No.
- Yes, my opinion is different than yours and I don't agree with using violence to resolve anything.
- No, I called you an idiot because you openly stated that you "hit a woman" and you looked for acceptance for doing so. Since when is doing a criminal act acceptable????
I win round FOUR!
You base yours on an abstract ideal that makes you feel good about yourself.
My opinions are the legal and social norm. I don't know how you could misintrept that into selfishness.
I win round FIVE!
Your responses only continue to confirm my initial comment that you are trully an idiot. Actually, I only feel now that you are becoming an idiot of biblical proportions. If you want to keep digging your own grave, I have no problem continuing to reply to your incoherent rhetoric.
Thank you for your time.....

First and foremost I want to say this is a great thread that everyone has going and I wanted to throw my opinion out.
I think James Harrision has made a grave mistake, but I am not going to judge him on it if this turns out to be his only mistake of this sort. If it happens again, thats when you start judging him.
I for one have never hit, pushed, slapped or anything of that sort. I do not believe it is right and I will never condone it.
I don't know the whole story and I do not know the reasons that made him do it. No reason is a good enough reason to hit a woman but there are certain sceniros that I can see how it has happened, and even to people that are strong willed against the action.
Can any man guarentee that if he came home and his was wife was with another man in your bed, that you would not hit her? Your children are home, you just worked your ass off to support your family, you have poured your heart and soul into this women and done everything you could do for her.
Could you guarentee you wouldn't hit her?
I would like to think I would be the mature adult I am and just walk away, but like I said under extreme sceniros like I have just shown, nobody knows how they will react until they are in them.
I don't know if this was the case with James Harrision and I'm not saying it is. But unless it happens again or the full details of the incident are released, I do not want to judge the man.
Is what he did wrong regardless of the circumstances YES!! But does it make him a bad person? NO
Am I going to bet my life that I never would? No, there are certain cirumstances where I could see myself losing my temper to an extent that I might do so, but those are under extreme circumstances. If I did it once would I do it again? Hell no.....people can learn from their mistakes and sometimes learning the mistake can do more good than harm.
Does James Harrison feel bad? I don't know, but by the fact that is lawyer gave is apology I would say no.
I don't want people thinking I'm defending his actions because I'm not, I do not support it in any shape or form. But until everything is revealed, I'm not going to pass judgement.

Go away troll. You're not fooling anyone with your stupidity. So just go back to troll-land and you can talk to other trolls about grave digging!

Are you kidding me?!?!? That is the best you can do? Call me more names and wish me away?
Get your wife-beater t-shirt on, sit in front of your trailer and warm up to your closest sister because I'm not going anywhere.
Biblical proportions, that is one of my finer ones. I would think you would enjoy being on the recieving end of that.

First off I want to apologize to the non-troll members of this thread. I didn't mean to turn it into a troll mongering joke and for that I am sorry. That said I saw an interesting article in the Post Gazette about this situation in the NFL and how they're dealing or should I say not dealing with it. Here's the link post-gazette.com/pg/08072/864335-66.stm
There's more of this stuff going on in todays society I think because parents are abdicating their responsibilities in child raising. But then, that's another thread...

oldhead,
Thanks for posting that - I do question the use of the words "Mature young man" in the article though.. It's troubling that he hid behind his lawyer when offering up his apology - we all make mistakes, we all seek forgiveness. But a "mature young man" would step up to the mic and apologize.. not hide. That's my opinion - none judgemental... Judge not yet yee be not judged.
and you are right about that parental thread.. it would be a long one..
enjoy,
bb

Here's the amazing thing about this situation. It's OVER! How is it that its been less than a week and its already been swept under the rug? It blows me away that we can have this happening at such a high profile level of our society and yet it hardly makes the headlines. Are we that desensitized to this type of behaviour? I hope that I'm not the only one who is upset about this. Maybe I'm getting preachy, but we have certain moral standards that have been unceremoniously discarded in our society and its disturbing to witness on this level. In a couple of weeks, it'll never be remembered. In a couple of months, we will all be preoccupied with training camp. By September, every Steeler fan in the country will be cheering and screaming for every sack he achieves.
Sorry, but no matter how much I love the team, or maybe because of it, I won't be able to root for James Harrison on Sundays.
