I guess because it's like 3 black dudes are going to beat your ass for not paying rent?

It's a stupid post.
I wouldn't think the Chiefs would want to portray their own players as leg-breaking collection enforcers, but it didn't strike me as racist...just stupid.

[Rain Man]

I have no idea why this is a negative stereotype, unless being tough and intimidating is a negative stereotype.

[louie aguiar]

I’m sure the chiefs will capitulate and take down the tweet and apologize. Apparently landlords collecting rent is now offensive.

See? Look at this. A white baby is beating the shit out of his debtor. Any person of any race can collect rent!

So, Mathieu actually didn't want to be called the honey badger anymore and has been promoting himself as the landlord for at least two years now. Talking about how everyone owes him rent, in a menacing way. Soo HE calls HIMSELF the landlord.

And we're the Chiefs.

[ChiefsFanatic]

People are attacking Emmanuel Acho because he is talking about things on a different level, but they think he is talking badly about their favorite football team.

As a white man, I have no frame of reference for the wording of this tweet being negative in the Black community. But, I have listened to Acho discuss his book, and many subjects outside of sports, on several shows that have nothing to do with sports, and he is very clearly extremely intelligent.

If he is saying that there is an issue with the wording of the tweet, that could negatively impact Black people, I believe him. Does it affect me negatively? No. But I don't need to attack him over something that I don't understand, and neither should any of you.

We all know that it was just a tweet about our defense, but between a Black man who just wants to point out how wording of tweets could impact Black people, and football fans crying because someone didn't like their football team's tweet, who is the snowflake? Hint: It's you.

Acho took a swipe at a social media person (probably assuming he or she is white) for quoting a black man pretty much verbatim. For a nickname Mathieu has used for years without offending anybody. Not that that should even matter because seriously who ****ing cares? It's a nickname. It's not glorifying landlords, it's poking at how everybody hates paying rent. I'm all for plenty of social causes but reaching for reasons to get offended by harmless stuff like this hurts the cause, it doesn't help it. Most of the reactions on Twitter sound confused about what to be offended about.

That’s actually the bulk of the argument.

Acho only says that it’s “negative’”. He never straight up says it’s racist or anything like that.

The 100’s of comments that follow mostly talk about it being insensitive to people being evicted because of the pandemic, not that it’s racist.

Bunch of downvoted progressive stuff

This exemplifies the argument that contemporary social liberals have more in common with racists than those not on the activist fringe.

This infantilizes, exotifies, and stereotypes 'blackNESS' [distinct from the objective observation of being black, suggesting some essential traits that accompany skin color] in the same way racists do, . . . only they insist they are doing it for good and 'empathetic' reasons.

If you are constantly vigilantly looking for offense, you will readily find it anywhere and everywhere. And if you ask people if they have any reason to be offended, a segment who are generally disgruntled will easily co-opt the suggestion.

But people are people, and skin color is either relevant or it isn't. And if you're going to stereotype and set apart some skin colors for what you feel are good reasons, you lose the moral authority to complain about other people stereotyping and setting apart people by skin color for their own formulation of a 'good reason'

'I don't understand people with black skin, but this one dude told me something and said he spoke for everyone with that skin color, so I guess he's right and everyone should defer to his perspective' isn't the virtuous perspective you think it is.

Tyrann WANTS the image of a landlord. Tyrann knows the image of muscular and angry dudes coming to collect rent due is intimidating and stress-inducing. That is the image he wants to convey. His ambitions on the playing field are not pleasant for his opponent.

Unless you want to just eliminate the entire concept of competitive sports because you think people are too downtrodden and emotional to handle so much as the concept of winners and losers and achievement and consequence anywhere in society, probably not a wise road to go down.

And the OPs original implication that the true snowflakes are the fat Midwestern white dudes does hold a lot of merit.

If it was offensive then he should have taken offense long ago when Mathieu has been saying it for years. Look, I'm plenty sympathetic to housing issues. But acting offended over harmless nicknames is the kind of shit that makes people resent advocacy. Mathieu knows that. He's advocated for housing for low income new orleans residents for crying out loud. Just because Jack Tatum was nicknamed the assassin doesn't mean he advocated for killing people. The whole nickname is about how people resent paying rent just like people hate paying taxes. It's not celebrating landlords, if we want to get real literal about this. The exact opposite.

I don’t know if Acho really has a problem with the nickname or with Matthieu. It’s how the word was used in the tweet and how it was interpreted by people.

This is a thoughtful post and I can appreciate openness to other ideas, but this is a massive reach by Acho.

If anything this is offensive to all of the people out there who are facing/will face eviction soon due to the pandemic.

Apparently it’s insensitive to the hundreds of thousands that are soon to lose their homes due to COVID. That’s the bulk of the replies anyway.

I would say the more offensive thing for people who have lost their jobs is seeing football players making millions playing a game on TV every week who haven't lost their jobs and pulling up in their nice vehicles and clothes. That would be more insensitive than a player calling themselves landlord. JFC this is ridiculous.

Through all of this, they’ve been allowed to continue to play while receiving medical care the rest of us can’t really afford, or they were offered a six-figure sum to simply not show up. I could see why people would find that hard to understand, honestly.

Thats the part that bothers me most. If you have a problem with how it's being used (which is still an overreaction) go after Mathieu. Not the social media manager who did nothing wrong but parrot stuff Mathieu says every week. I'd bet Mathieu was hyped to see the post until suddenly someone got offended by it. It's not hard to read between the lines why the double standard. Its a reaching attempt to be offended by something.

I know it’s weird for someone like you to comprehend seeing things from another perspective, but for some it’s genuine and typically helpful. IMO, the world would be a better place with more people with his mindset than those with yours. I’ve seen many of your arguments on this board and I don’t think there’s been many instances in which you’ve changed another person’s mind and I’m certain there’s been none in which you’ve changed yours.

I don’t care about all that extra shit. I’ve been both white and black every day of my life. When white people are out of line, I speak on that shit and I do the same for black people.

Lol ok.

Yea I’ve never changed my mind about anything! You know me SO well!

If something can be objectively considered racist or offensive, I tend to keep an open mind. Hence why I get the Redskins name change even if I don’t necessarily agree with giving into the demands of the mob. When somebody is clearly looking for something to be offended by and virtue signaling outstanding citizens try to justify it, I’ll let them know they’re ALL full of shit. Hence my refusal to give in with the Chiefs. See the difference?

I’m completely reasonable with this kind of shit, I just don’t bow down to the mob every time they find something to be offended by and start making demands. I also don’t believe in giving people like ChiefsFanatic what they desire when they’re blatantly virtue signaling. You’re more than welcome to give him some woke points at your 50% rate though!

Are you asserting that there are no perspectives you consider, and then summarily reject anyway?

The issue isn't the right of people to be offended. It's about the right of offense to dictate discourse.

The things being cited as offensive in Tyrann's nickname and the resultant tweet is exactly what Tyrann wants it to be. He wants to express power, dominance, and ownership . . . supremacy. Most reasonable people can realize that it's an artificial persona limited to the field of play.

If those offended dictate discourse, there is no room for any sports messaging aside from 'I will endeavor to play my best.' Anything more pointed or competitive could traumatize someone somewhere in the audience. But such delicate sensibilities might not be the appropriate bellweather.

Is anybody here going to Acho’s Twitter and commenting angrily? Are we trying to cancel Acho or pressure him to delete his tweet and apologize? That’s what people who are legitimately outraged do.

Having an anonymous discussion on a message board about it is far from outrage.

The problem with people like OTWP is that they think anybody that dares to push back in the slightest is being a hypocrite.

It’s a fucking ridiculous stance. You’re scared to push back and call it what it is? Fine. But don’t try to pull the hypocrisy card on me for saying this is old and tired and these people are full of shit and looking for things to be outraged over and they’ll never stop.

This is just a minor example of what "wokeness" or cancel culture can do

If I'm not mistaken, the Chiefs took that tweet down because Acho and few twitter tards started making a stink

Minor examples like this just fuel and add strength to the next, more serious, cancel effort... 10 people get offended and all the sudden corporations, football teams and private citizens feel the need to cave in and cower lest it blow up into something that costs them money, or their jobs, or their safety etc etc etc

...and then you enter a GDT and someone is saying the Chiefs need to get their heads out of their ass or they'll lose in the playoffs because Kelce just dropped a 3rd down pass in week 10 with 12 minutes left in the 1st quarter.

This situation of being offended by the word landlord is that last guy.

An opinion so absurd and as close to "wrong" as an opinion can be, it actually deserves a bit of complaining, even among all of the other complaining about complaining.

Yet, it gets lost in the noise of the complainers constantly complaining about every other instance out there, so we're both desensitized by the "cancel culture" itself AND those complaining about it.

[staylor26]

Its simply become impossible to have a reasonable conversation about this kind of thing here... no one expressed any OUTRAGE!, but the usual suspects gotta chime in with their defensive attitudes anyway, ever desirous to show everyone how cool and open minded they are

Thats it for me in this thread, goodbye/Seinfeld I'm Out.gif

It’s because they think they’re better than everybody else.

“LOL I realize this it absolutely ridiculous, but I’m going to give you shit for pushing back and calling a spade a spade because I’m better than you and capable of just rolling my eyes and moving on”.

If this weren’t the norm nowadays, that’s exactly what everybody here would be doing. But it is and it’s reasonably acceptable for people to say enough is enough shut the fuck up already.

It’s not about allowing disagreement. These people want to force their ideology on all of us and call us racists or whatever else if we don’t fall in line.

That’s the insanity of it all. Everybody eventually gives into this very vocal minority because they think it represents real life. You can say there’s not many of them, but you can’t say they don’t have the power/influence of many.

If teams and big corporations started giving into the very few actual white supremacists demands should we point at how few of them their actually are or be concerned that they actually have power/influence?

[chiefzilla1501]

I only posted it because it was about the Chiefs.

I'm not offended by it but I think its overwhelmingly stupid. I agree there are housing issues going on and will only get worse as the pandemic continues. If Athletes are really interested in helping solve such issues they should put forward solutions

All shit like this does is drive efforts into a ditch. Which unfortunately most athletes do because it's more about attention for them.

This. Hes not wrong to care about this type of topic and I'm sure he has plenty of frame of reference to care and to understand what's going on. I don't resent him for it. In this case he tried to play the outrage card and didn't care that he threw somebody under the bus for it. So rather than raise awareness of the problem he's made people resent advocacy for the issue. That's the problem with cancel culture. Instead of talking about sharks who are gentrifying poor folks out of property, we're pointing a knife at an innocent social media manager who very obviously meant no harm. All so one guy can draw attention to himself for clicks.

There is a subset of mainly young people 18-25 who think paying rent should not even be allowed, and that being a "landlord" or a "property manager" is an immoral thing. There are groups of them that thing having a home is a human right and they HATE landlords. I had landlord up in my twitter profile for a while and they all found me and holy shit are they crazy. Everything should be free to these people. Life isn't fair. The earlier you realize this, the better your life will be.

I can't remember how I came across it but I got into a twitter thread with these "landlords are scum" people and they genuinely believe it's an evil occupation. I was pretty floored by what I was reading and thought it might be satire at first, but nope. I know 2020 has been a shit year, but you gotta pay to play no matter the circumstances. They'll live with their parents until they're 40, so good job raising those things, now you get to keep them.

There are two groups of people, people who believe offense shouldn't exist in society and people who believe it's okay to be offended.

Group B can't even discuss what is or isn't offensive without Group A loudly interrupting the conversation to call everyone a pussy and say how everyone should suck it up.

If I was a social media manager for a team it would never occur to me to compare players to violent thugs coming to take your money. Whether I was making a post about a black or white player. It seems weird and innapropiate to compare the violence of the game to real world violence. Just giving my 2 cents.

If I was a social media manager, id see that a black man who is very active with social causes has been proudly hyping a nickname he made for himself and blasting it constantly over social media. Id see how much Mathieu loved it, how much the fans love it, how it hypes up his teammates, and that nobody in the public seemed to mind it. And then I'd post the shit out of it. If you have a problem with the landlord thing take it up with tyrann Mathieu, not the poor social media manager who got thrown under the bus for what was probably a horrible double standard.

Well, that part isn't wrong, really...

That guy wasn't discussing what is/isn't offensive though, he was telling the world "every possible implication of this tweet is utterly negative & perpetuates stereotypes. Let’s all be better". That's not a discussion.

And 'discuss what is/isn't offensive' makes it sound like people are determining if other people should be offended by something?

Has the guy asked people who have lost their place if they're offended by the tweet? Why is this guy the spokesperson for people who have lost their place of residence if those people haven't been part of the "discussion"?

Group A is sick of Group B sucking all of the fun out of life at every turn. This social media post was intended to have some fun while branding key members of the Chiefs defense as intimidating people by way of Tyrann's "Landlord" schtick, which he uses often.

That said, I'm sure whomever in the Chiefs organization signed off on this post is regretting it today. Nobody wants to deal with this shit, no matter how silly it is.

Some people are just shitty. The idea that landlords are somehow systemically racist is just laughable.

Landlords = Kulaks prior to January 1930.

Maybe it has something to do with evictions? I don’t know, still not any worse than Raiders, Blue Devils, Buccaneers, Deamon Deacons etc

We won't have equality in this country until they remake the Joe Pesci movie The Super with Kevin Hart as the lead character.

Oh yeah, wasn't claiming systemic racism. Which is why I've called Acho out for being wrong. I'm just pointing out potential reasons why certain communities may have different perceptions, accurate or not. If so, it's good education. But trying to make sensational claims for the clicks is not the way to do it. Reaching for reasons to be offended is counterproductive if anything.

I mean I know plenty of white people around here that hate landlords but it’s mostly because they don’t pay their rent. ;)

Of course they are. It’s a HUMAN condition. You would think something like that would be a catalyst for unity. But alas such behavior seems to be above us as a society.
