[QUOTE="Eight, post: 2891082, member: 73370"] had a discussion with a younger friend on the idea in their mind that some are hesitant to step forward and express themselves on various issues be it covid, race, environment, politics etc... what has happened here to me provides a snap shot of the struggles we as a society are having and why we absolutely must listen, get off social media, and work to find middle ground gary thinks he is doing the right thing and "offends" dylan, dylan doesn't go to gary, but to some teammates the group brings this to gary's attention as they should, a discussion is had, and for the most part the issue is resolved. dylan has decided for whatever reason to not let it go and in the end it will be up to him to either forgive or let it deter his life. learned far too late that holding grudges when you are sure you are right do no good for anyone. lynn mentions in one of his posts that the group has talked with gary about not only use of the WORD, but also gary's belief he doesn't see color, he sees them all as his players. i truly believe gary sees them as his players and one group. the irony being that gary comes from a time where we have had it beaten into our heads that we should not see color, race, or creed but see all people as the same. now he is being told by his players he shouldn't see them all the same. i might have this wrong, but i truly think when a 19-20 something gets frustrated with someone older about some of this they don't understand they are expecting a shift in thinking which is counter to what we were told we needed to do and be in order to be tolerant [/QUOTE]
