Rams sign Leonard Floyd

[RamsOfCastamere]

I don't see anything wrong with the tweets. no cursing or name calling.

 

[GoodBadUgly]

Yeah fuck you Clay - you too Todd
I had to layoff employees last week
...
Meanwhile, workers who have been with me for 14+ years furloughed
...

Did you pay them their last checks?! No matter how big or small everyone is entitled to what they are owed.

I had to do this as well, and have another round tomorrow, and it is no fun. We aren't paying them last checks since furlough is technically different than a layoff. They still have their benefits, can collect unemployment, cash in PTO time, and are free to return when this crap is over. But it crushes my soul to have to do it.

So when these multi-millionaires bitch about this, NOW, it makes me want to root against them forever.

Like it or not everybody from major companies to regular joes use social media to air out grievances.

Yup. All those either out of touch with reality or those who's life is social media.

But on the same hand he’s still helping out his community buying meals and more. To me I just don’t get how a guy wanting his money is the bad guy here. All of y’all who have companies and employees did right by them y’all aren’t withholding pay and not letting them use those benefits or denying unemployment claims.

I guess all of y’all would work for free..

landlords are all over social media telling their renters to pay their rent. Renters are all over social media trying to start a rent strike. Like it or not everybody from major companies to regular joes use social media to air out grievances. Amazon workers and so on.

Who the f_ck is saying that though? Name one person on this board that is saying don't pay them. We are just saying it's trashy in poor taste not the right time and they both have all sorts of resources at their fingertips for this very thing. If the rams are wrong then shame on them cut them their checks and be done but still no need to post on twitter. If the rams are within their rights then what should they do? Should they stoop to that level and post a copy of the contracts? Come on man let's get real.

And just because landlords are demanding rent on social media etc doesn't make it right they to have resources at there fingertips as well. That being said it's not remotely close to the same platform. If Tom Smith in Iowa isn't paying rent and called out will Lindsey Thiry be writing about it.

Besides all of it is a misuse of social media that's where it goes wrong.

But we don't know any of this to be true and when you tweet about it now a days let's face it it almost becomes true. If I tweeted that nobody would care but when someone like tg is tweeting that it becomes news and gives the rams organization a black eye. Can't call yourself a rams fan and agree with this. Even if true still tacky to tweet about it it's just showing u are bitter and want to hurt the team that gave you your money. Again if the rams owe the money file the proper grievances use the NFLPA your agent whatever but tweeting is just showing exactly why he was cut more about his attitude than his knee.

I can call myself a fan. You’re more worried about a owner that’s not paying his former employee what he has earned. No matter how much or who it is, he is still an employee and is entitled to the money he signed up for and the Rams agreed to pay. I’m just not in the habit of being on some type of moral soap box when it comes to labor rights. And it’s crazy how everybody can be all on social media telling Demoff how wack the uniforms are. People can voice their displeasure about that online but a guy can’t voice his displeasure of not getting paid. Lol fans really think they know it all.

 

[RamsSince1969]

Those tweets were the same as the sour soon to be ex-wife, paying for a downtown billboard sign, telling the entire world her husband is a no good cheater (by full name) . Why tell the world? It has only one purpose, to make the other person look bad.

And in doing that, it makes your "hurt" feel a little better. Is Gurley "hurt"? Perhaps in more ways than one.

doesn't matter there's a national law into effect that you can't evict ANYONE right now. So they can write their letters all they want, nothing is gonna happen to the renters at the moment.

Do you have some sort of agenda here or just dense?

I am asking you to show me one person anywhere in any thread that has stated that they are not entitled to their money? One please!

You are the one on your soap box acting like someone has been wronged when you or we do not even have the facts yet.

Advocate for players labor rights or for employers. I have worn both hats in my career and I'm all for doing what's right but nobody is arguing that. Basically the opinion is no matter who is right or wrong here it is on poor taste to take it to social media when you have all the correct avenues at your disposal. Also a lot of regular people do not have access to those abundant resources that TG and Matthews have and often get shafted. It's probably happened to many of us at one point or another. I had someone Rob my partner and I from a business over 7 grand should I have taken to social media to out them or use the proper tools we have at hand to deal with said issue? Again just in poor taste and overall poor timing.

Regardless getting away from the actual issue none of us know the legalities here and we are all basically stating that it's in poor taste to tweet. If they are infact late then pay the men but if they aren't take a f-ck-ing hike and get better agents lawyers and maybe look in the mirror and the world around you. Bitterness is an ugly thing.

I just don't know how as a true rams fan you can just make the assumption that the rams are deliberately stiffing them.

Well not everyone, or probably even most are able to lash out at their employers on social media. If I lashed out at mine I would be fired. If I lashed out at my landlord odds are they would kick me out....

I been a fan of this team my entire life. This is the only football team I watch and let it run my blood pressure up.
You’re the one resulting to name calling and cursing why??! You’re the one questioning people fandom why??! Whether he should have took it to social media or not it’s still simple it’s his money that a former employer haven’t paid yet!! And I’m sorry y’all got robbed but even the police use social media to find crooks.
You’re assuming that he haven’t spoke to his agent. The money that he is owed is almost a week late?! The truth of the matter is, this is the way of the world now it’s not the 50-60-70 or even early 2000’s everyone from the PRESIDENT to regular joes use social media to call out things that aren’t right. I see no difference in what they did.

not an issue worth arguing about, jmo

So.... Leonard Floyd, eh?

Yeah they can’t evict that’s not stopping them from going on social media still saying they’re gonna file for eviction.

Still a fan of the signing. Still want us to clear the necessary cap space to get him. Restructuring Jared Goff's contract is what I have in mind.
