That could have been a lot of things, have you been to a football game lately? I just find it hard to believe that he was hurling racial epithets and everyone kept their cell phones in their pockets. This would have blown up on social media.
 
Ran ran ran what a ***** approach

I am not going to guess nor do I care there is evidence there so I know the fan is not innocent.

He said he wouldn't repeat them. Must be bad enough for TV if he isn't going to quote what was in the report.

Not sure why the word needs to be said we now know the guy shouldn’t be given the benefit of the doubt. Fans want to be right over common sense…

It was originally claimed he used the n-word. Video emerged with no evidence, they pivoted to this story but dropped the n-word part of it.

Now it's "derogatory" words. If they were racist, I sincerely believe we'd know, why would the league hide that? They could bury Kennedy's case by simply releasing the evidencer.

Derogatory words at an NFL game. I might get the vapors.

You can repeat whatever. He didn’t have to say the N word he just had to be a provoking tool which it showed he in fact was.

I can see you are locked into your opinion oddly. We can agree to disagree.

It's obvious numbnuts was there to get a reaction out of DK. He has a history of doing it. Who knows what he said. People have different trigger points.

The report isn't from this past week, it was from a previous year.
 
As I said earlier.....4th quarter should have been Rodgers running a 2 minute offense. Coaches should be fired up to the top if need be. Hey though....at least Garrett didn't get a sack.

Not running the hurry up the entire game except the last drive was criminal. And downright incompetent coaching.

Because they’ve invested in the wrong players, that’s the reason the room has been meh

I’ve already thrown out a few names. I’d take a core of Samuel, Thielen, MVS and an early draft pick (or two) and see if Wilson becomes anything and not bat an eye worrying about losing DKs meh production.

Or trade for any number of players, a very long list there for those possibilities.

MVS can go **** himself.

Theilen has already announced he's retiring at the end of the year. MVS showed today why he is unreliable.

The issue you're struggling with, it isn't DK'S stats, it's his physical status and what he forces the defenses to do. I'm in agreement that he would be a GREAT WR2, it's why I was excited when they traded for him, then why I was so pissed they traded away Pickens.

But you want us to move on again, we saw what Pickens was without a reliable 2, we see it with DK, and now you want to triple down for a third year in a row and try again and throw out names that are even downgrades to DK.

WR are not as easy to get as we once made it seem. We hit on Pickens, then they couldn't build around him or control him, so they shipped him out...but who else have they picked? Austin? Wilson? It's been a LONG time since we were drafting guys like brown, Sanders, Bryant, juju, and just plugging new ones in...and A LOT of that was Ben.

I draft WR early and often in the next draft. Keep Metcalf for at least one more seaaon maybe more....take his guarantees from him......I don't know the exact ins and outs on these are though.

I know, which is even more unbelievable that it was kept quiet for a year. Why wasn't this a huge national sports story? The league has been trying to End Racism for years now, surely this would have been worthy to report.

Look, the NFL had the report when they upheld the suspension, I'd bet money the "derogatory words" were standard trash talk and not racial in nature. Happy to admit I'm wrong if they show proof.

Provoking tools exist at every single stadium every week. I'm not locked into anything, but the accusation of racist slurs came out immediately and they can't seem to produce any evidence.

DK -- and Tomlin for allowing and supporting this -- might have cost us our season. If it was because he couldn't stand heckling, he needs to go.

You have no idea what was said and still don’t. But by all means continue on your witch hunt.

I on the other hand produced information that actually supported my debate.

You can dismiss it until you turn blue but it throws shade on that fan who was acting innocent.

I also gave you the agree to disagree which I will again throw out.
 
It's just a another year, with a another player issue. Its always something with this team.....Been saying that for 15 years at least.

This year however, it very well could have cost them the entire season, and a playoff appearance.
