Funny that espn doesn't acknowledge this on there front page. Says the entire team was in the locker room. Guess it doesn't fit in there political narrative.

why it does. I'm located in Charlotte and will give you a trip to the DC area for that trip. We'll be visiting Bethesda/Walter Reed together.

I'm not even joking.

Why would I be scared to go? I've been to Walter reed twice before

If you can make a compelling argument


Sep 24, 2017, 3:59 PM

That doesn't involve smoke, mirrors, or ambiguity....you might.

But I doubt you can (make an argument I consider compelling) because we are never going to agree on this. The only hero's are the ones fighting against the people who are invading their lands.

And I don't think america has been invaded recently.

I've already made a solid argument.


Sep 24, 2017, 4:02 PM [ in reply to If you can make a compelling argument ]

You said your opinion wasn't going to change. I'm guaranteeing you it will. You said you've seen it all, and I'm guaranteeing you that you'll see something new. There's nothing ambiguous.

Shoot me a Tmail with your name and contact information. Looks like you are in the WS area. We can meet beforehand. I'll make the drive up to see you.

We should have never gone to Iraq, but this soldier..


Sep 24, 2017, 4:04 PM [ in reply to If you can make a compelling argument ]

didn't decide on that issue. Moreover, he fought in Afghanistan and I understand why we went there. He received a medal. He is a hero.


"...... he was awarded a Bronze Star Medal with "V" device for rescuing wounded soldiers while under enemy fire."

Rescuing a fellow invader does not make you a hero.***

I am dosturbed that we are still in Afghanistan, but we should have gone initially as we did. You would have just nothing after all of those people were killed on 9/11 and we knew what country he and his supporters were in? You're an odd person, almost irrational.

Steelers chose to stay in the locker room together, but this guy thinks he's special? Guess he forgot he's part of a team. Just another me-first player making it all about himself. A distraction, and maybe even a locker-room cancer?
