DE is always a position I expect to make more  of an impact in year 2. 

Very true, but I always understand the viewpoint of new people coming in and being turned off by it. 
I was a lurker on ourbombers but never posted because the people already had these built in dynamics and it was really hard to break into the conversation.

I'd argue that's what you're doing. You're pushing a definition over and over arguing semantics instead of engaging with the spirit of the conversation.
We are talking about equity of results. IE. Women being treated equally to men in professional sports. Some women have spoken out in this case to help bridge that gap. To fine them would only make the gap wider. 
EDIT: And none of us grew up being taught that women belong in pro sports. This is us learning from previous generations mistakes and changing our view points over time with new information. Not just parroting the same privileged views without ever challenging ourselves to think with empathy.

Over 20 years young whipper snapper...

I wonder if RoadGriller is still writing Justin Goltz erotica

Worth putting into context: some of us have been discussing football with eachother for nearly 20 years

Haven't been using this forum for long, but find it remarkable how hard-headed and negative a few of the folks on here are......
Having an opinion and voicing it on a forum like this is exactly what it's for but some of what I see on here crosses the line from supporting the team to arrogance and name-calling. It's really really weird to me.
Shouldn't the discussion on here be about which new young rookies are stepping up from the ones on here that have come to practices to watch so far? This is supposed to be a time for excitement not dumping on Redha Kramdi (who seems to be a decent player coming into his own).
Don't want to ruffle any feathers in here but golly where's the positivity in what should be a hopeful time of the year!!!!!!!

In these situations he likes to say something to the effect of "they learn all the positions". Some guys are a little more revealing, like Brian Cole talking about moving to DB and backing up Redha.

Oh, F you. I was about to make this exact point and you beat me to it.

Looke like Michael Chis-Ike should be at practice tomorrow. Bombers have signed him.

I just think it’s weird that you want to start Jake Kelly or Miles Fox because they can “grow into” a role but you don’t want to let Kramdi “grow into” his role and you didn’t want to let Evan Holm “grow into” his role.
The messaging is inconsistent and let’s be honest, it’s no different than the major beef you seem to have with O’Shea: he plays favourites. So do you, they just aren’t his favourites. At least admit it 😂
 

Guess the point with Holm is to let things play out and see some guys play ball before they are crowned or discarded.  Just ironic that you **** on some guys who have huge and productive tenure based on pedigree but want someone who we've barely seen play who came from the least competitive conference in U Sports anointed.

You can't figure out how equity comes into play when a woman in a male dominated league is sexually harassed and then other women who work in the league speak out against how the team and league handled the situation? 
In what universe should people speaking out against sexual harassment and league's response be treated equally to a coach speaking out against how much the like their team's schedule?
Are you that obtuse?

Can you just pretend everyone is saying equity and stop arguing the point then?

Equality = equal outcomes in most of the accepted definitions 

Kramdi is not anywhere near the worst problem on the roster. Sure maybe they could get someone better there... but he wasn't a liability.

I think it's dumb when people get fined for criticizing the league.
If I'm in Barker's position and I took a bad fine in the past, I'd take this opportunity to fight for free speech. When they fined him, I'm sure he was against it, but now he's suddenly on the league's side and these women should be fined? Noooope.

Barker is more likely to get fired for these comments then those two ladies are to be fined. Wow what a tone deaf dolt.
