Look up the lyrics to the song "Human Behavior" by Bjork. Definitely no logic.
Is the movement behind changing the Redskins name the result of a request by Native tribes? If not, this is just white people trying to appear P.C. on the behalf of other races...whether those races care or not.
I wonder if they'll try and seek out all the buffalo nickels that were ever minted and melt them down because they're so racially insensitive. I wouldn't doubt it.

:eek2:^^^OH THE HUMANITY!!!!^^^^:cry1:
I'm telling ya...when I listened to NPR for hours on end a few weeks ago, the main takeaway was that EVERYONE and everything was on the chopping block. No negotiations, our way or the highway. They're so blind with rage that they want to literally erase history...like trying to purge the memory of being beaten as a child or something like that. They're even against Lincoln...because he was white.
I think this is very deeply psychological in the minds of "minorities", or "dark skinned people" or "different people"...racially, sexually. I think it's a detriment...it led them straight into violent, bizarre behavior.
Everything is on the chopping block to them. And they'll take every crumb they can get. It's almost like a form of "reparations"..."You're going to give us SOMETHING, you assholes!" Read today that most of the Dems in Congress are on board for reparations. How about all that BLM money gettin' funneled to the DNC? Democrats must like getting screwed...they put up with so much of it.
They'll promise anybody, anything to get a vote.

"Lift Ev'ry Voice And Sing," traditionally known as the Black national anthem, is expected to be performed live or played before the "The Star-Spangled Banner" at every Week 1 NFL game.

What about the Latino National anthem? Or the Asian pride anthem? Where's the outrage that only two races will get to have an anthem? Do Latinos and Asians not deserve a place at the table?

Da RAIDERS!!!

Is any self respecting American going to watch the NFL? I doubt I'll ever watch again.
I have almost zero interest in watching the NFL these days. I only watched a couple of games last year and it will probably be fewer this year.
NFL Requiring Fans To Wear Face Covering At Games During 2020 Season

They're going to be playing to mostly empty stands...or people are going to just blow right past the rule.Quote:

They actually talked about this a month or so ago and dismissed it as absurd...said fans simply won't do it. They spent probably two minutes talking about it...I bet they talk about it for considerably longer today.
I've been to two fairly large sporting events in the past month and at both events fans followed mask and social distancing for the first 5 minutes and then it was business as usual.
I don't see why the NFL will be any different. Unless your a Chargers fan, they shouldn't have any issues with social distancing... LMAO...
Washington Redskins to call themselves the "Washington Football Team" for 2020.
How lame and idiotic can you get? The PC movement has destroyed America.
I'm officially done with anything NFL related. And I suspect many of the NFL fanbase will walk out this year and probably never return.

All the sports guys on the radio today said the same thing.Quote:

They set up extra tables and chairs but in the last two years they didn't do it and the "crowd" was myself and maybe a dozen other people. Last year I got there late and thought for sure I was screwed, but the entire bar was open only a half hour before game start.
I think these players should keep their personal opinions on social media and leave it off the field. They can say whatever they want on Twitter, Facebook, news reporters, whatever...I don't show up at the job and start lecturing my clients on political/social issues because it's inappropriate. What these sports stars have to offer (which is basically a middle finger) is unappealing as well.
I was proud of the Rockies when only one player took a knee at the opener...Kemp, one of the black guys. But now I'm done with the Rockies because they collectively sat out a game after the Blake incident...Trevor Story says "We have to show Kemp that we have his back and give BLM the benefit of the doubt"...his exact words.
What about giving the cops the benefit of the doubt? These guys are making themselves judge, jury and executioner without a good close look at what the hell happened...like a "show trial"...like the Salem Witch Trials. Remember learning about that in school? How wrong it was to get caught up in a frenzied mob with bullshit "evidence"?
I'm not watching because I won't sanction the mob. They ask for justice but quickly deny it.
SOB. I'm going to send my Rockies T addressed to him with a note about why.Quote:

Why not remain neutral until the investigations are complete? I'm not "punishing" anybody.
Anybody siding with the cops or waiting until the facts are know are likely to keep playing and not force anyone on the team to bend to their will...otherwise those that side with the "cops are killers, let's make people pay" crowd then they are going to force people to bend to their will...or pay the consequences.
So, do you see Scott? Do you see who it actually is that's laying down the hurt? I sure hope your post was a troll.
I'm just turned off at professional athletes who make millions of dollars and live in mansions and have the audacity to preach to their fan base. I didn't do anything. I didn't shoot anybody. I'm about the most open minded person there is when it comes to racial issues. But now I have to listen to athletes lecture me about how I should live my life.Quote:

Agreed, but you can’t lump ALL of them into the preaching. Many are Trump and police supporters. Ultimately it’s their employer and other employees speaking out.Quote:

So if they are not comfortable making a political statement, then they are part of the problem. Got it. Most people just don’t speak out, they aren’t wired that way. It’s just a job for them. No different then Chic-fil-A pushing their Christian values. Their employees just don’t give a damn.Quote:
