In fairness to JA, He did give out a legit reason... We can't be so sensitive about everything. Hitler was knows as a genius, so if you love history and military history , he's be a pretty good mind picker... Also Allen has apologized...

Yeah I'm not saying what he said was absolutely horrible, and he did apologize.
But come on, as a team captain is it too much to ask that you don't tweet out that out of all humanity, dead or alive, past or present, the 3 persons that you'd like to have diner with are your grand dad, Michael Jackson and Hitler ?
Is it too much to ask the team captain of an organisation which already is in a PR nightmare to think for a split second and go "ok you know what, let me keep that one for a party with my close friends and put Einstein, Julius Caesar or Neil Armstrong instead..." ?

Is it too much to ask that people don't lose their minds overreacting?

So he'd like to pick Hitler's brain and have a conversation with him - fine.

I just cant believe that he spun the wheel, and this was the answer that he landed on.
it really is a moment where you are just kind of shocked that someone would say that in a public forum.
its a real head scratcher.

Personally I don't really care about what he said, it's just fascinating to me that, as a team captain, he didn't know that people would overreact, and that Twitter is not important to the point where he had to give his most honest answer. Like, this is the world we live in, this is Twitter, you're a famous person and a team captain, in my book you should know what's coming if you tweet something like that.
I have zero interest in the moral debate and I see exactly what he wanted to say, my interest is this team and to me it's fascinating that even the apparently smartest people in the building don't know better.

In short, to your question I'd say: yes, it is too much to ask because you know people are going to overact, so as a team captain, know better.

I mean honestly, academics still actively research/debate Hitlers motivations, question his choices, etc.

Our country consumes Netflix and other channels to watch documentaries about serial killers, mass murders, child killers, sexual predators at record rates. We do this to try to answer why do people commit evil acts?

Allen said zero wrong here. Anybody suggesting otherwise need to be tossed off a bridge.

From a PR standpoint though is it too much to ask that the team captain, of this franchise out of all, would keep this conversation for a more private setting and leave Hitler out of his tweets ?

Probably right, of course if Heinicke would have said the samething this would be lead on every bullshit sports show this morning with the typical talking heads pushing there social justice immoral lies.

Again, I'm not saying he said something absolutely atrocious, but this is bad judgement, and I thought he was smarter than that.

[mredskins]

JA wrote that he like to pick Hitlers brain for his military genius and why he did what he did. Pretty sure the majority of society would love to hear that conversation.

Not all genius are good people. What hitler did which was horrible horrible is also a amazing; he nearly took over the world and wiped out a religion. Your average skin head with his General Lee screaming around the Deep South isn’t pulling off what hitler did.

Just 2 things I find offensive in what Allen said.

1. Hitler was a military genius.
2. He would invite Michael Jackson to dinner.

This.


And another thought. Who here knew that Jonathon Allen was fluent in German?



Compared to the other PR issues this franchise is dealing with, this is a nothing burger.

He said something dumb and immediately apologized. I say who cares.

Of all the things people could get mad about... and a question about a hypothetical which will never happen is where the bar is? Weak.
