    My honest perspective as a Pats fan-

     

    Given that other big names are involved this is likely an enterprise that is known to wealthy parties, meaning that in my estimation Kraft is aware of the human trafficking component. Rings like these exist to shield powerful people from the risk of seeking out prostitutes on the street level with more visibility. They’ll probably find emails or other compromising communication. Definitely disappointing as a fan. I work to combat these kinds of issues so this one hits close to home and really Saints my view of Kraft, unfortunately. 

    I think you are right.  Looks like multiple locations, states, and countries https://www.tcpalm.com/story/news/crime/martin-county/2019/02/20/details-florida-sex-spa-human-trafficking-cases-released/2929679002/

    I guess people don’t understand the whole reason we condemn prostitution in the first place. It turns into sex trafficking where girls are forced to perform sexual acts without their will. 

     

    Some of these girls are taken from their family( a small percentage, but it happens all the time around the world). I think it’s easy to blow it off, but imagine it being your wife, daughter, or sister as the one who is being forced to perform sexual acts almost on a daily basis. It would be a big deal then. 

    It happens everywhere and it's time to deal with it.  I hope the upside of having high profile people involved in this is that something does happen.  Otherwise, it's just not newsworthy I guess

  3. Kraft is charged with a misdemeanor so, I'm assuming there was no minor involved.  Not that he's not responsibIe for his behavior but, I'm very interested to know about the owners of this business.  I started the day being sick to my stomach about our Secretary of Labor's involvement it letting a pedophile and international sex trafficker skate.  The secretary is responsible for policing child labor, forced labor, and human trafficking.

     

    Then this comes along.  There is something wrong in Florida and something wrong with millionaire and billionaire men.  

     

    Something terribly sickeningly wrong.

    They have many and varied personalities on that team

    As do ALL TEAMS in the world.  We unite behind a purpose and everyone brings their strengths and learns how to make the best of all of it.  Although, it would be nice if all the other teams felt that resistance is futile, we are NOT the Borg (star trek fan)

    I believe 31 other teams notice Luck and his goofy antics, and they put a "label" on us based on Luck being the QB. Nelson is the antithesis of Luck, so he has the burden of changing that label and making teams take us more seriously than just a "soft and nice" team. He has done that to an extent and people are taking notice, but their different personalities don't mesh well IMO, even if they do get along personally. The team is much better, but there's no identity IMO, because Luck acts so much different from Nelson.

    Goofy antics?

    Their personalities don't mesh even though they get along?

    I think that Luck's play speaks for itself. I don't think anyone on this team wants him to be anything other that who he is. Maybe some fans feel like he doesn't fit their idea of a football player.   But, that's not a problem for the team

    I think it's about one singular mindset for the entire team. Luck's mindset is the antithesis of Nelson's. It completely makes everyone not take Nelson seriously because Luck is goofy and that sets the precedent for the team. Nelson wants the team to have a reputation for being mean and intimidating to get in your head, while Luck wants to have fun and beat you with pure talent. That doesn't mesh well. It's like if I make a Blackjack team full of card counters and one specific player decides he's not going to count and only use perfect basic strategy. That would be Luck. He'd never get kicked out of the casino and be the nice guy, but he'd completely ruin the theme of what the team is trying to do and throw everything out of sync.

     

    If it is Luck, I can see why it drives Nelson crazy. It's you Vs the enemy. This is a professional sport. Act like it's competition and win the mental game as well. That's half the battle.

    If feel like you have spun an entire story around this that has no basis in fact. Goofy is the precedent for the Colts? Nelson is carrying the burden of making other teams afraid of the Colts?

     

    There's a mesh problem?

     

    Everything I've heard would indicate that there's been a significant 'mesh improvement'

     

    :dunno:

  7. If Nelson was talking to Luck, he was out of line. Not sure it's anything other than divisive to correct a team mate on the field like that. Not his job. Not sure how that's a recruiting tool other than to show that Nelson has passion to compete which he clearly does.

     

    Nobody can say that Luck lacks a competitors heart.

    No do I let my kids get on any social media.

    That's a good idea.  Kids on social media will live to regret the things they posted. Also, I think it gives kids a very superficial view of the world and themselves in it.  They create these 'personas' of coolness and post way too many pictures.

     

    Not healthy for kids I don't think

    I don't have a twitter account,  I don't have a Facebook account.  I don't have an Instagram account, Snapchat account - you get the idea.

     

    I have my Colts forum account and a LinkedIn account.

     

    That is one way to ignore all this garbage. 

    I do like twitter but I use block extensively.  So many trolls on there. you also have to verify everything you read because there's plenty of truth stretching going on.

     

    It can be like a pack of wolves there. On the other hand, there are some incredibly witty people on twitter. Far more clever posting there than on facebook.

     

    Twitter explained to me why people were on about ASMR in a super bowl ad https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/tv/a26081634/what-is-asmr-autonomous-sensory-meridian-response/

     

    Also, turns out that soap cutting is a very satisfying thing

     

    Random stuff abounds on the web. Some of it interesting. Twitter is for sure my go to destination for cat and dog videos

    @Nadine & @Gramz

    I agree with the idea of trying to control/banish false accusations, and the sort, and can't help but ponder it's impact on political campaigns, and mainstream new sources.

     

    It would be refreshing.

    :worms:Not to open one of these but, I've been watching a program on A & E and have been astonished at what you can get good people to believe. 

     

    speaking of cults, I just recently realized that the Jim Jones 'People's Temple' started here in Indianapolis.  A lot of good people became part of something that turned horrible.

     

    Also just watched An American Crime, which was also a true story from Indianapolis about horrific child abuse.  In this case, children participated.

     

    I guess horrible people are my genre these days.

     

    Then I need to off set that by watching something about the amazing good that people are capable of. Like this https://nowthisnews.com/videos/news/angel-dad-battling-cancer-fosters-terminally-ill-children

     

    Some people are so amazing.  I hold on to that.

    You are correct.  

     

    In this day and age, anyone can say anything, and some actually believe if you read it on the internet, it MUST be true. :facepalm:

     

    With so much Social media out there, and the way most communicate anymore, it's really hard to control.

     

    I will say tho....you've done a  great job on here to keep rumors out of the forum.

    :hug:We sure try to do that.  There's a lot of garbage out there and people seem to love it.  It's like they 're rageaholics or something

    This is true. A step in the right direction would be to start to prosecute those that make these outlandish public accusations..

     

    It's truly criminal to attack ones character and possibly ruin ones career with false accusations.

    I think a better start would be for websites to take this stuff down.  We only have so many judges and they cost money.  Anyway, I'm not sure that that single post is enough for any lawsuit.  It looked like posting under the influence to me (and I've seen some of that here). 

     

    The post was taken down. Agreed it got picked up and passed around.  Even came here.  Only reason I'm leaving this open is so that there is something on the web that points out it is seriously sketch.

     

    Until there are formal charges and a proper investigation, this sort of thing falls into the category of 'rumor'

     

    People love rumors and gossip.  It's hard to stop but, we each should try

    While I have a real problem with domestic violence, and assault, I think I have a bigger problem with false accusations.

     

    If this is indeed a false accusation, she should be prosecuted for slander.

     

    Stop this kind of nonsense.

     

     

    Then you'd have to prosecute all the trolls on the wide wide world of web.

    I think people need to stop passing stories around unless they have some basis in fact.

    The web contains a lot of vitriol.  You've got to filter it out

    I'm not bitter.  I just have no interest in watching another Super Bowl featuring the Pats.  

     

    I just may go to a movie, or schedule band rehearsal, maybe I'll clean toilets,  :dunno:. Anything but watch the game.

     

    Enjoy it while you can.

    Same. I don't have any interest in watching that game at all.

    The 1-0 motto started way before the Playoffs and it just means take things 1 game at a time. I loved it actually. I see nothing wrong with hanging a banner for making the AFC Title Game either, making that game is just celebrating a very good season/borderline great season when you go that far. If people want to get butt hurt over stuff like that, that is their problem.

    Same.  It means to focus on the game at hand and come out 1 - 0

    People mocking you when you lose badly......speaks more about them then us
