RE: It wasn't the smarted thing for Jenkins to tweet... Â
And another reason athletes should stay off of Twitter all together, but the beat immediately demanding Jenkins' release and then getting their wish over a word he apologized for twice and explained himself over is maddening.
The PC crowd lost their minds, Jenkins was punished for it and the Giants fall further apart as a result.
I've seen some of these same fans and beat writers say far worse things about people (see: the President) and no one bat an eye. But they wanted to create a fire and got it, and now pretend they are high and mighty sensitive beings that want nothing but love and world peace.
It's as fake as can be, whereas Jenkins was as real as could be.
Agree or disagree with what he said, there's no denying that reality.
^^^ Are we going to see a beat writer get banned for going political?
To a overrated asshole. Don't let the door hit you in the fucking ass. If he was called an inappropriate name, could you imagine the hullabaloo. Couldn't admit he was wrong, but he did a great job training up our young cornerbacks didn't he. Please get rid f this asshole Gettleman, get rid of him tomorrow. He is a fucking disgrace.

RE: RE: Look, this is pretty simple across many professions.... Â
If you work at McDonald's and get mad at a customer and call them that you're getting fired.
If you're a cashier or stock person at Target, getting fired.
If you're at a call center and are talking to a customer on the phone and do that you're getting fired.
If you're a teacher and you call somebody that you're getting fired.
If you're at any office USA and call a customer that, you're getting fired.
You just can't do that. It's never been acceptable in the workplace.
It is a decent debate question as to where the workplace ends for a publicly visible person, such as a professional athlete. Personally, as long he didn't use the official NYG account, he was on his own time.
I think that whether private twitter accounts
He was AT PRACTICE at the time. Pretty sure that's not his own time.

Pretty accurate.
If you work at McDonalds, and you call someone retarded on your personal twitter account, and the manager happens to find out, you probably won't get fired
If you work at McDonalds and you're tweeting while you're at work, you could get fired without uttering a single offensive word.
no one who works at mcdonalds is going to get fired Â
for tweeting at work. do you really think fast food restaurants have a zero tolerance policy about cell phone use while on the job? have you ever worked at or been to a fast food restaurant?
also, wasn't jenkins getting treatment for an injury when he was on his cell phone? it's not like he was in the middle of running coverage drills.
also hilarious that this happens the day after POTUS trolls a 16 year old girl with aspergers.

He represents the company he works for, and they can fire him if he says stupid crap they don't like.
is a dangerous thing. I understand we can hurt people with our words, but his mention of It's in his culture is understandable, albeit old. As kids, we often said that. Many of us never stopped.
At what point do we stop offending people? What is the line? I understand words against races and such, bad history there. But "retard"? Anyone from New York or a big city probably used it to mean Moron, Jerk off, or the like.
Can you imagine getting fired over jokingly saying "I wish I never got married"?
Just give it time...
It will offend someone.
For the record, I was hoping we'd trade him to a team that could use him for a playoff run. Not great, but on a good team, he would probably be a decent add.
We also released JJ to increase our chances of losing. DG knows he is our best CB, so take him away should allow teams to pass against us even more. Besides, I’m pretty sure Gmen didn’t want to pay JJ 11 million next year so he was going to be gone anyhow after the season, so why not now instead?

Gettleman and Shurmur have found their calling. Teams who want to lose in order to get a high pick will be calling them for jobs next year.
This franchise is an utter embarrassment. Wasting another asset. I guess Gettleman gets really offended when he hears the word retarded because usually it’s used to describe his asset allocation model.
Shurmur and Gettleman are the front guys. I think his status would have been discussed in the off season. Probably not back, but not a slam dunk. The smarter move, was to trade him (and Engram) at the deadline.
I liked the Rabbit, but I am fine if they are done with him. That said, why not just either IR him, suspend him, or if that is not allowed simply make him inactive for the last three games? You could trade him for something once the window reopens.
It sends the same message - actually better cause he cannot hook onto a contender this year - and gets the Giants some kind of return.
I know you would still have to pay him - but wouldn't the return you get in the trade (4th or 5th round pick) be worth the $1.8 million you save?

Read my posts above (Just CTRL F and search my handle). JJ will still get paid. Our only chance of saving the money is if he is claimed. Not many players are ever claimed when waived with injury designation.
As alluded to in Shurmur's PC transcript, it was a decision from the Top Down. Mara/Tisch made the decision and everyone is on board. It just wasn't the singular use of the word and then not apologizing. His actions were cumulative with the final decision coming to a head with the latest action.
RE: Tomorrow you'll see 25 other NY Giants players make inappropriate Â
I wonder what the union will think about the Giants putting a guy on injury waivers, and in the same breadth admitting it wasn't an injury decision, but a behavior decision.
I wonder what the union will think about the Giants putting a guy on injury waivers, and in the same breadth admitting it wasn't an injury decision, but a behavior decision.
The waiver action was due to his behavior. But because he was injured, he must carry the designation. It is about an open disclosure to other teams that might consider making a claim so they know that he currently has an injury. It doesn't stop a team from making a claim. But rather if we chose to waive him and hide the injury (don't know how as he was on the injury report) and another team claimed him only to realize that he was injured, the league would look to penalize the Giants. Because you don't just claim a player but also their existing contract. In JJ's case, there is no more guaranteed money. But the possibility that a player's contract still contains guaranteed money and would be claimed only to discover an injury that new club would be on the hook for the guarantees.
With the injury designation, the CBA also protects the player. If JJ goes unclaimed, he reverts back to us at which time we have 5 days to agree to an injury settlement. If no injury settlement is agreed upon, then he will go on IR and can not be released from IR until he can pass a physical.

Thanks Diver! All my years here, I did not know about the cntl F feature. My main point was: Why not keep him until we can trade him? Short term "Punishment" with IR, a suspension, or deactivation on game day. You can claim the high moral ground after you trade him. This is the better way particularly if he gets paid anyway.

The decision was made my Mara/Tisch to distance themselves from him. It wouldn't surprise me if we learned corporate sponsors applied pressure. The SJW on Twitter likely threatened to boycott the corporate sponsors. By severing ties (if he goes unclaimed, the injury settlement will be the remaining 2 games (he is still paid this Sunday)), then the questions on JJ's actions will recede quicker than if we retain his rights.
By the way, the CTRL F feature is the only way that I can find where I left off on some of these lengthy threads.
RE: RE: Tomorrow you'll see 25 other NY Giants players make inappropriate Â
Forget about him as football player for a sec.He got kicked off his team for using in print a feather-weight slight insult to a stranger -- one easy to dismiss, commonplace, and pretty inoffensive. A 1, max, on a scale of 10. Where does this tyranny of political correctness not reach? Take away a guy's career and paycheck for this? WHAT?!!!
is a fucking asshole. Good riddance to bad rubbish. It's called having empathy. Apparently that's too much to ask of the BBI mob mentality. Not that that's a surprise.
woulda been the same crowd complaining how they can’t use the “N-Word” anymore all those years ago. Times change, so does acceptable behavior. I don’t know why this is so hard to understand. Some of you mischaracterize political correctness to the point of parody. You know what you’re saying is bs, but you say it anyway. Maybe it’s the alternative facts timeline we’re living in right now. I know that at my job, I couldn’t go around calling people “Retard” and expect to keep my job. And sure, I did used to say it when joking around with my friends...when I was a kid. That’s the difference, maybe some of you never grew up or maybe some of you still see no problem with using these terms as an insult, but maybe you should take around and realize that it’s time to get with the times because it ain’t Levittstown in the 1970s and nobody gives a fuck where you grew up.
despite the people who are offended by it, which ironically aren't the disabled ones but rather parents and family members, are as bad as the fat idiots that carry a gun in a holster in public because they can and the feel like it's their right. They don't have to, but they just do it.

This is a totally strange and unexpected development, of course fans have thoughts about it.
Would you expect the majority of members to read that headline and say, "Oh, cool."

(End of thread)
A listener who knows that I'm a Giants fan called within seconds of the story breaking.
The first thing out of this asshole's mouth was a horrific joke about Jenkins and the Special Olympics.
I hadn't heard the news yet, but had been following the story over the last few days.
I said something like,"thanks for the call," and hung up.
We recorded his call during a commercial break.
The guy I was working with asked me, "what the hell was that about?"
I checked BBI, was mildly shocked, and explained it to him and we shared a feeling of disgust in regard to the caller.
Obviously the call wasn't aired.
There's simply something wrong with a whole lotta people out there.
That said, there is more to this story than the tweet, and the stupid follow-up tweets (which could have been an,"oh yeah, then cut me" thing.)
The rest of the story will make its way to us posthaste.
