Easy decision after it was dropped last year by Hufflepuff.

Texas athletes petitioning University to replace "The Eyes of Texas" and to no longer require athletes to sing it
It helps that the above, the actual "Stars and Bars," was never really adopted by the Klan or other hate groups, as opposed to the battle flag.

I was there a couple weeks ago. They've certainly dropped a couple of those hiring requirements.

NFL plans to play Black national anthem before Week 1 games
Lol at my facebook friends swearing off the NFL because of this news. Who to hell cares?

Agreed. Aside from the donations to BLM and "The Eyes," the other stuff should be a quick and simple decision.

Thread of Statue Removals
The name of the South Dakota town is Gettysburg. Not that that justifies it, but does make it less out-of-nowhere.

Texas High School Football - what will happen this Fall?
Seems like only a proposal from a TAPPS coach though and that UIL doesn't look to be entertaining the idea. https://www.dallasnews.com/high-school-sports/football/2020/06/28/see-details-including-potential-start-and-end-dates-for-each-sport-of-proposal-to-flip-flop-fall-and-spring-sports/

SCOTUS rulings 2020
This doesn't shock me since the Texas case was only two years old. But when is the Supreme Court supposed to take up these "heartbeat" laws?

DC statehood
Agreed with OP. Give most of DC back to Maryland, but also let PR have its shot.

Thread of Statue Removals
I already made those points throughout this entire thread. It's all there for your consumption. You, on the other hand, instead of responding on the merits like others have, chose to pull a "Leroy Jenkins" without any argument or intelligent thought. Am I still being too convoluted for you?

Thread of Statue Removals
I don't know, did your house form its own state in the Union before voting to secede? If not, it's a pretty bad analogy. Use whatever word you like then. It doesn't change the fact the U.S. gov't brought the seceded states back into the Union by force.

Thread of Statue Removals
The Lost Cause is about downplaying or even flat-out rejecting the role that slavery played in sectional differences and disunion; that's not what I'm doing. It's not exactly radical to state that the Confederacy formed its own short-lived county. Its several states went through the formal process of secession with many even having binding referendums, ratified its own constitution, formed its own executive, legislative, and judicial branches, coined its own money, and raised its own military. It was never successful enough on the battlefield to merit international recognition, but that doesn't mean the country or its institutions didn't exist until it was conquered by Union forces. You're welcome to criticize the reasons for secession or the wisdom for doing so, but those are separate issues from whether or not the Confederacy was, briefly, its own country.

I never said the South didn't fire the first shot. The difference is that the South was trying to conquer a single fort smack dab in the middle of Charleston Harbor, as opposed to the North that wanted to conquer, well, everything.
