I don't think any of us have the right to tell young men what they can and cannot support. The matter of BLM is people wanting to be treated equal not to be more powerful than others, by no means is it a political movement. And if you think it is...yikes. I have the utmost respect for our military but I also have respect for people willing to fight for what is right. Sometimes we have to put ourselves in others shoes. And open our minds to different opinions and outlooks.
On their own time and their own dime, support whatever cause they want to support. Taking advantage of a platform, provided them by taxpayers/donors (scholarship/venue/etc), who don't always support the same beliefs, is not ok.
That's the difference. They can be a social justice warrior, get the Herald to print stories about their causes, whatever.
Come Saturday, play the darn game, that's it.

I'm all for that.
Exactly what I said in the original post. Do it on your own time. You start wearing BLM (a marxist organization) on your shoes during a game or protesting by kneeling for the national anthem, put out a promo video for BLM, I lose interest.
We already have a thread devoted to this so hopefully we get back on topic.

I sure hope UND doesn’t start this BS during their season. College sports are the only sports I follow. I don’t need athletes using their supposed platform to tell me their political views. Do it on their own time, own social media, etc. As an alum, with differing views, who donates money to the University, that’s what I expect. If they choose to go political, I pull my support. Pretty simple.

Anyone know what they are building next to the Scheels Sports Complex?
My guess is an Assisted Living facility for Edgewood see project #28.

i agree with all except the wearing of the mask. your cloth face covering is worse than useless in trying to protect your self from the virus.
Agreed, type of mask used also makes a huge difference, as well as how you "wear" said mask.
Bottom line, avoid large crowds, limit your interactions, socially distance when you do interact and you will be just fine. Masks have little effect on the transmission, unless you have the appropriate mask and are wearing it correctly.

You're logic would only follow if people were somehow forced to interact with others. In 2020, if you want to never be in the same room as another human, you don't have to.
If you're scared or believe you are at risk due to pre-existing conditions the don't go. Let the rest of us live our lives and decide what our own risk tolerance is.
Exactly. Walking by someone, who is infected and not wearing a mask, is very low risk for transmission. Especially if you are wearing a mask yourself. Transmission is based on proximity to an infected person and length of time spent in close proximity to that person.

Can't disagree with any of this. But how do you suggest people protect themselves?
Like Joe Biden and live in their basement.

Quit exaggerating.
When the idiots focus their rioting attention at federal buildings, these buildings end up being protected for the most part. I mean ‘evil left-wing’ Gov. Evers called up the national guard days ago. All gov. buildings are protected in Kenosha. Violence is almost always focused inward (businesses and cars burned).
Unfortunately it was three days too late.

A couple years old, but relevant for the current situation, IMO.
I'd be curious to hear the reasoning, by those who support defunding the police/BLM, on how this incident is different than the one that played out in Kenosha?

And the liberals blame white nationalists for sparking this looting........ I couldn’t see any of them in the videos though........
thank you liberals for letting Trump back in the election! This anarchy will help Trump win 4 more years!
IMO, only if he does something and the sooner the better. He has the ability invoke the Insurrection Act. And if we aren't at that point already, we soon will be. Tough time to do leading up to an election though.

Well ok, that's 1 poll.
If we look at polls collectively, Biden has a good advantage. Does this mean he'll win? Of course not. But more often than not polls collectively predict the winner.
This guy seems to do a pretty good job at predicting.

There's a big difference between defending your property and pointing guns at people that showed no intention of even stepping foot on your property.
The "mob" was beating their chest to show power by marching in an area they had no business being in. The property owners were returning the favor, letting them know what would happen, should they turn their "peaceful protest" into looting/property damage. So it's ok for them to march on private property illegaly but it's not ok for someone to show they will defend that property, should the protest get out of line? Ok, got it.

Well, yea. The 'law and order' schtick is what the GOP is putting front and center; they have little else to run on so they need to exaggerate threats. Not that the Dems aren't exaggerating the Covid threat too.
That said, this country is a current disaster. I doubt the "Vote Biden and the darkies will burn your house down" rhetoric will be enough to win. We'll see though.

I’m all for defending and upholding the 2nd amendment as I’m sure you are as well.
You really think putting these two front and center is going to help that cause?
Yes, I think it will play very well to Americans who are sick and tired of the looting and lawlessness being allowed in democratic run cities. Enough is enough and many Americans are beginning to help law enforcement defend their property and businesses. Many examples of this going on.

RNC
The party's choice to skip passing a platform shows this is Trump's party. Therfore, many are leaving to beat Trump in this election and then retake their party back.

"Take their party back"
Have you seen his approval rating within the party?
The will of the people is why Trump beat out 20 something primary candidates last year. Of course RINOS and career politicians have been upset about him. Good. Pretty sure we heard pretty much this same story line from 4 years ago as well though, no?
This. Donald is not a politician by trade, which is why both sides do not like him. He is a business man first. He is far from perfect and should stay away from twitter. But, with the legislation he's signed, he at least is looking out for the best interests of Americans and American interests. Prior to Trump being elected, there used to be a lot of chatter about getting a President who wasn't a politician, someone who would get things done instead of worry about partisan politics. Like him it or not, that is what Trump is and why many people gravitate to him.

Walz should allow the rural Minnesota counties to do the same.
Yes he should, after all there’s nothing outside the metro except “rocks and cows.”

You are looking at this from one side. If they were sitting down to eat, why did they have signs and wearing pro-Trump stuff outside the DNC HQ. Not saying they were breaking any laws, but they also were looking for trouble. And the parents were involving their kids as well. After the hat and signs were taken (you're a better expert than I whether or not this was assault than I) they followed these girls and literally chased them down, egging the kids on to get their stuff back.
To me it looks like they were looking for a fight and both sides were in the wrong. But I don't work in law enforcement, you do, so you get to decide who goes to jail here.
If that’s the case, will you admit the “peaceful protesters” are also looking to fight, not protest?

So the President is upsetting politicians on both sides of the aisle. Maybe it's because he's doing the job based on what needs to be accomplished and not playing partisan politics?

A new restaurant is moving in to the old Ruby Tuesday building. Charras and Tequila is supposed to open in early 2021. Other locations include Bismarck, Devils Lake, and Bemidji (different name for that store).

Big 10 officially canceling the season and would not be surprised if PAC-10 follows later today.
Question: Will ESPN/ABC/Fox Sports will air more G5 games to fill space? Any FCS conferences still playing that could also fill space?
Mountain West could certainly fill the late broadcast timesAmerican Conference for noon game times
CUSA/Sun-Belt for mid afternoon to early evening games
MACtion for week night games

Corrected that for you.

At this point, if there is tailgating, there will not be reserved spots. Unclear of the overall status. First they need to determine if there will actually be games and what capacity would be and then they'll make the rest of the decisions from there.
I’d assume we have the option to keep tailgate spots for next year, if there is no tailgating this year.
