So if Groce is leading in such a way that doesn't offend anyone, why is that a focus of some on this board? It's a choice to be offended, especially with something that caused no harm to anyone.

 

We kicked Kent's butt for a 6th straight time. Let's get back to focusing on that. 

 

Why don't you have this same energy for the discussion on the national anthem? Listen, I think it's OK if people discuss it, or if people don't want to, that's fine too! It was out of the norm for this program and university and plenty of people noticed, so it's being discussed. It's a choice to engage in any of the many topics a discussion forum will provide.

Because I'm not a communist. Leave the commie crap to Kent - Berkley's Portage County Campus is very good at it. 

 

Go Zips. 

 

Edit: I realize now that you were referring to the atrocious national anthem singing, not the anthem being played in general (a topic that has also been discussed by people who have a problem with Jesus being publicly showcased, which is where my mind went to). The discussion about the anthem being bad is entirely different because even Hellen Keller thought it sucked.

Discuss whatever you wish guys, but as for me, I come to the forum in part to get away from the daily "controversy" cycle.

I would expect someone like you to say such a thing. 😆

Sorry, all kidding aside I agree with @clarkwgriswold

That's what happens when people make politics their identity. There is an off topic section on this forum. If people wish to engage in those kind of discussion it should be moved there. I'll just be sure to avoid those threads.

I think we're getting a bit carried away now. We discuss all sorts of topics on ZN, from the players to the coaches to the in-game entertainment to observations about the game. I understand religion can be a touchy subject for some, but it was a short discussion about something related to the Zips, everyone was respectful, and the conversation seems to have run its course.

Promise I’m done after this…I don’t equate religion with politics but if you do, the only ones making a political statement were the players wearing the shirt. Some of us found it a little JARing as it was unusual…pun intended
