Something is really bothering me about Dawgnation

Then maybe some of those under 45 should start listening to to 34!

NOT TOO SHABBY!
Hershel is one of my favorite people on the planet for a number of reasons. The earth would be a much better place if we had more people like him. Long live 34!
I’ll probably get downvoted for this, but the posts about Herschel that have been closed recently have had almost nothing to do with his athletic career or his status as one of the greatest players to ever lace up a pair of cleats.
Instead, the posts have been overtly political. I love discussing the Dawgs and reading y’all’s opinions about football on this forum. I am unbelievably tired of reading thinly veiled and/or openly political posts on this forum. The constant political posts are making this forum about as pleasurable to browse as Facebook, which I left forever back in 2009 for similar reasons.
Herschel chose to speak at the RNC, and he had every right to do so. Is that really worthy of post after post on a supposed football forum?
Funny story that's likely to get backlash...my dad's a 58 year old man and he's not a big fan of Herschel the person. He might be the only long long term Georgia football fan on the planet that isn't and this is something that I just realized this year. Honestly maybe in the last few days, because I thought his jabs that I saw earlier were more on the line of good natured...they're really not.
Politics are some of it (not to take it there, but if you make a guess about him, you'd probably be correct), but the main reason...I'll just say, if he were to come on here and say his main reason (he actually does have an account to boot, but it's for the articles), he'd get absolutely showered with downvotes.
Love HW. Lots of folks do. Though, I come to dawgnation to get away from politics because I hate politicians. I think that’s the point...HW is now firmly entrenched politically and threads that get shut down are not talking about his football prowess I suspect. My two cents...
You're right. It would be better without any politics here. There has been lots by both sides. The virus thread was always going to derail into politics and it did....yet stayed up because it was relevant. Rian Davis called HW a fool and it was relevant due to the tension in the DawgNation it caused. When questions about how proper it was came up many people rushed to Davis side since “times are changing....we have recruits who read this and may not sign with us!”. Those threads were quickly shut down while other flavors of politics went on.
Well while I agree I come here to read about football but does that mean we ban all the other off topic posts as well? Why not have a politics specific thread, you can choose to click on it or not. If someone gets out of line there then posts can be closed. Just a thought...
We are not here to discuss hot-button political or social issues. There are plenty of other places for that.
That is in the forum guidelines in answer to your question about politics
Where would that put him all time in the NFL?
4th all time behind Jerry Rice, Emmit Smith, and Walter Payton and ahead of Frank Gore. Without the USFL numbers he is 47th.

Putting off field issues aside. Lawrence Taylor is the best of all time IMO. Deion Sanders next.
Great 20th post.
Why should anyone care what someone thinks about reading a forum in which they don’t participate?
There are really very few political posts. “Unbeievably tired” is a foolishly dramatic claim.
It’s 2020 bro....times are weird....
