I'm not disagreeing with the fact that there was a lawsuit and that it was settled with money being exchanged.

At face value, those are, indeed, fact.

However, there is a section of people following this case that supported Kaep in his fight against the NFL. Who were told to "Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything " in a major advertising campaign  (which, I suppose, I shouldn't ascribe any meaning to the campaign beyond "Buy Nike"). And who saw Kaep in a position, through this lawsuit, to embarass a major corporation that had/has issues related to systemic racism and suppression of free speech, etc. The outcome of that lawsuit is a settlement that allows the NFL to bury any potential negative consequences/embarrassing evidence. 

He may be satisfied with the outcome of the settlement, which is good for him. But understandably there will be many people who feel he sold out due to the juxtaposition of his message and the terms of the settlement being lots of money for him and little to negative consequence for the league.

As a person, that's not his problem, you are correct but if people feel his social justice message has been undermined by the settlement's terms, I think they are justified in that feeling.

I disagree @livid , @Pooker I think k sums it up pretty well.

He had the chance to have a legal body declare essentially that systemic racism exists in the NFL. 

He can go on in his work of Social Justice, and that's fine and good, but it really feela like he took hush money here.

...until the NFL offers you millions of dollars to stay quiet about it. He made a whole ad campaign about sticking to principles no matter the cost, etc. and then let the NFL, which knew it was toast then, buy their way out of the toaster.

What changes were you expecting? The lawsuit was to recoup salary + damages he lost from being blackballed. He was either going to be awarded that through the trial or by a settlement. 

The difference is Kaep took the money and ran, rather than force someone, on legal record, decree that the NFL did wrong.

I used to when my hometown or my wife's hometown (her town's only left last year) had rental places yeah

Awesome job, cool movie! I appreciated the Dance Dance Revolution scene lol

I just found out today Gang of Four is playing here this Saturday! 

Except....we already have plans to see a friends band. Just bad timing. The local show will be good and supporting local music is good so I don’t feel so bad. 

My only knowledge of Gang of Four is that they had a song on the original Karate Kid soundtrack

I just re d/l'ed CK2 and will get the GOT mod again soon, love that game!

You've definitely done some thing different and gone in a new direction. I was getting confused looking through some of the files but can still get a sense of where you were going with it.
I'm more than happy to skip the Split DATA if people are happy to take this approach. I'm hella lazy

Haha, thanks, yeah I definitely think we have different approaches, probably different goals. I wanted a mod where I could play as AEW/ROH/IMP/NJPW etc. and not have the wwe release 100+ workers right away 😛

Good deal

I didn't do the WWE complete justice, if someone wants to play as them, they may need to do a little tweaking first for accuracy's sake.

I took the latest Real World update from @mkpunk and split WWE into 4 companies with the hopes of getting rid of the massive talent dump that comes with beginning a non -WWE game. I know when I play I always hate that the WWE releases so many people out into the talent pool. I also added the NWA as another promotion with Billy Corgan in there.

It's not 100 percent perfect but it makes playing a different company more enjoyable for me personally.

Anyone watch America's Got talent the champions? 

Because w00f this season is tough to watch

Any Wolves fans here?

One of the things that really hurt the Rams though is that Goff really looked like he didn't know how to handle the Patriots pressure, no pocket awareness, no plan to deal with it, he just dropped back, the pats got through, and he kind of just waited to get sacked.

Let's go Brady, clap clap clapclapclap

I think an 8 team playoff per league makes sense for the MLB, the season is such a grind so there has to be hope to make it in for a lot of those non-big market teams.

The issue of fans wanting their players to play for cheap I think extends to the issue of no salary cap because the perception, rightly or wrongly, is thst the choices are to play for peanuts with a small market team with little chance to compete or sign a mega deal with a big money team thst wants to compete every year

Thanks MK, for some reason I am super excited that the Metro Brothers are in this update hahaha

Recently started The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.  This show is so kinda wonderfully cheesy I love it

My wife reallllllly enjoyed it and is waiting for more episodes to come out. I watched a few with her and they were interesting I'd say.

It's the last section in the first post. Last one made was set to after SummerSlam. 

Awesome, thanks ROcky, thought that was you

@Rocky Feller Picture Show Is this something you did or who am I thinking of?

I personally request that everyone changes their avatar/logo/mascot or whatever to something that isn't a generic Yahoo goalie helmet

Does this first week count or are we starting on Monday? @Hell, It's About Time (awesome username change lmao)
