Roddy White.... Idiot

This guy is a sad excuse for a person. I like him, I do.. But when he gets on Twitter he says some really stupid crap... and this one about puts me over the edge.....

: All them jurors should go home tonight and kill themselves for letting a grown man get away with killing a kid

Absolutely 100%. He clearly doesn't know the law. This entire case was a joke from the beginning based solely on political persecution.

Guys with all do respect can we leave this topic to the CNN, or FOX news outlets. Agreed the comment was idiotic, but this site is meant to be an escape for some of us that crave it. Please lets keep it that way. Thx

Umm, not talking about the topic at all.. Talking about a NFL player, on some of our Fantasy Football teams making a horrible comment that will likely result in a Fine+...

Agreed.

This is such a polarizing issue and I feel bad for everyone involved. I actually feel worse though for those not involved who have such a strong viewpoint in either direction. The ignorance of our media and our people throughout this whole process has been disappointing. There were only 2 people there, one of them is dead, and both of them will have to deal with their maker for what happened.

Zimmermans brother is on Piers Morgan (who I hate but that's another issue), and made a great point. He said that this happened, and the race card came out, and everyone called for his brothers head, and for him to be arrested and charged, and for him to have his day in court, and that regardless what happened, they would respect the verdict. And now we need to let this go, and move on.

It's that twitter trap that these guys seem to forget that everyone sees. If the NFL was smart they would put a band on it to protect these guys from saying the things they do.

Why does everyone jump all over athletes when they say stupid things? Do people get just as mad because Stephen Hawking can't shoot a jumper? There's enough smart guys that lie and/or say really stupid things to keep me occupied.

I feel for Martin's family. How it must have felt to hear that verdict..

So do I. Regardless of the verdict, he is still dead which has to be a very difficult thing to deal with.

Well at least maybe we will realize the real problem here is with the media. I was actually worried there would be riots.

At some point, people in our country will get fed up with the negativity and agendas and tune out. My life would be no different had I had no knowledge of what happened here. I'm not on Facebook or twitter so I probably could've lived a great life having no idea lol

I read this in 'The River Cottage Meat Book" by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall last night, about the perpetual stalemate and ill-will between vegetarians and meat-eaters. I think it works for many of those on the left and right in this country as well:

"The real problem with these arguments is that they are often born of a gridlocked antagonism...each feel the need to defend themselves against the implied criticism of the other's position. They miss the moral nitty-gritty by a wide margin because the issues at stake have become almost tribal: two groups feeling mutually threatened, throwing sticks and bones. This is an unhappy, contaminated forum in which to conduct a reasoned moral discussion."

I'm guessing the vegetarians are throwing only sticks.

Roddy today: "I understand my tweet last nite was extreme. I never meant for the people to do that. I was shocked and upset about the verdict. I am sorry."

Enjoy your potential suspension, Roddy. What a dumb thing to say initially regardless of what stance anyone has on that verdict.

we've seen it a million times...famous people...famous egos...they decide to tweet or put out a personal opinion on the social media..."wait EVERYONE see's that?"....then the "out of context" and apologies begin...good thing roddy can run and catch cause his decision making might not be to successful in the real world

I think it's actually pretty laughable that anyone that has paid any attention to this trial would actually be "shocked" by the verdict. Every single non-biased expert has stated that if the jury follows the law (and not rule on emotion) that Zimmerman would be acquitted of all charges. It's the exact reason why the first attorney general declined to bring up charges. There was no case. For anyone to be "shocked" by the verdict was either not paying attention or is biased along race lines (which in and of itself is racist and ridiculous).

Well, aside from the actual verdict, or stance one has on this case (and I think all opinions on the trial and horrible situation that unfolded should be respected), suggesting that jurors kill themselves was just about as stupid as can be for an NFL player with a status to uphold. What a stupid thing to say for a pro athlete.

I totally agree.

Howdy, Stranger!
