Not to mention that Phil is paying for a big chunk of Pat Casey's salary...

I then had to remind him that every time he buys a beaver shirt with the nike logo (they are a nike school) that they are supporting the ducks...I said thank you!
The mere mention of anything politically related means it "turned political"? People make semi-related comments in passing all the time without "turning" the thread into anything.echo31 wrote:oh great, another thread turned political
I'm thinking that the below quote was taking it a bit too far ... maybe it's just me, but that wasn't exactly a "mere mention". The quote is politically driven and makes the poster's views quite obvious. This is a football board, and I couldn't care less about people's political views and would rather not see them being expressed on here.wheaton4prez wrote:The mere mention of anything politically related means it "turned political"?

I don't know. Badgering people is one thing. But, this, I don't see as being any different than people making the regular off-topic notes and comments that they do on every public community forum or in regular conversation.echo31 wrote:I'm thinking that the below quote was taking it a bit too far ... maybe it's just me, but that wasn't exactly a "mere mention".

You're right, I am sorry I even mentioned it. nogerO is a fine contributor to this board. No harm done.wheaton4prez wrote:

I come across people discussing things I'm not interested in all the time. Can't say that I've ever held it against them that they were interested.
Thank you dude. Myself and my 8 grandchildren all had a good laugh at your predictable knee jerk, reactionary, spittle-projecting retort!monster wrote:Well, I don't know about you wheaton4prez, but I'd rather not have a board full of dangerous rotten extremists!
I went to Joe's the other day to see if I could get some Ducks merchandise on super sale since they are going out of business and they had absolutely no Ducks jerseys and very little Ducks stuff in general, but there were A LOT of Beavers jerseys and A TON of merchandise in black and orange. It made me laugh.nogerO wrote:Back to the subject at hand. I find it hilarious that all those flat-tailed, buck-toothed halloween high fans who bitch about there being more Duck stuff in stores, and more inches in the Boregonia devoted to the O than osewe then proceed to go out and by stuff with the swoosh on it and help support Nike.
