Okay, so I don’t want to start another debate and I’m not going to either. Just gonna give my two cents on the issue in the other thread and then move on.
As one member correctly pointed out, it wasn’t the first time Soul made a “joke” that was obviously political. It was stupid and totally unnecessary. We all know that politics and religion are very touchy subjects, so why mention it in any way? Everyone has the right to have an opinion on pretty much anything and that’s a good thing. We’re just asking you to not mention politics at all. It’s really not that hard.
On this board we have conservatives and liberals, Reps and Dems, people of different faiths etc. We’re all different, living side by side and it’s okay! We just need to try to get along. Everything else will follow. Don’t get me wrong, when it comes to politics Soul and I are basically the complete opposite and yet I liked him very much and I think it’s very unfortunate he decided to delete his account instead of just admitting that it was a stupid joke and just move on. In fact I think it’s kinda scary that adults rather disappear completely than just accept other people’s differences. Tribalism is not sustainable. And yet we wonder why politicians can’t get shit done in DC.

W/ that being said, what’s done is done. I believe we’re big boys and girls here and that we can all behave like grown-ups.
It’s Christmas. It’s my favorite time of the year, my favorite month of the year and my favorite holiday of the year. I’m not gonna let this issue bother me today.
Christmas is about sharing and forgiving, about loving and spreading joy!
So, to all my fellow Bears fans and e-friends, I wish you a very merry Christmas. Thank you Alex for providing us this place and thanks to Ric, Dave and Chuck for keeping the board nice and clean. Doesn’t matter who you are or where you’re from, it’s nice to have an online community where we can all hang out, talk Bears and other stuff and just relax.
And thanks to the Chicago Bears organization for giving us joy this season, something we’ve missed for quite some time.
Have a good one fellas.
Merry Christmas and Bear Down!!
