Kaepernick hasn't been signed to a team, so this is basically making fun of him for losing his position as a result of the protests and saying the rest of the 49ers will be out as well if they don't stop protesting.

I'm sure one of the many concepts Lester doesn't get is that if you have enough money saved up, you can afford to retire early, or at least live comfortably while unemployed for awhile.

Then again, since this is about Black People having a problem with something, Lester probably just assumes they already spent it all on spinner rims and gold teeth.

This is hopefully the first and last time I'm participating in the American Football chat that periodically floods this thread: by analogy with actual football, who the gently caress thinks penalty calls made against their team are justified?

Unlike in FIFA football, NFL football has a lot of downtime, so people see everything that happens multiple times, often in slow motion. It's harder to pretend your team is faultless when you can clearly see them making illegal plays.


Students praying on their own initiative, alone or in self-organized groups, has been consistently protected you dumb poo poo. Go gently caress yourself with a liquor bottle.

Equal pay for women, also stop sexually assaulting them! Stop shooting everyone!

It is a rhetorical question, we all already know.

Also, how much of a loving hypocrite do you have to be to attack the Democrats over Harvey Weinstein and then turn around and bash #MeToo?

(The answer, of course, is that Branco doesn't actually give a poo poo about what Weinstein did, and for all I know may believe it's totally fine for a powerful man to trade career advancement for sexual favors. It's just a convenient club to hit Democrats with.)

The Black Panthers started open carrying, and white people flipped out because the thought that black people were also allowed to carry guns never occurred to them?

It's a big part of how they got started here in California, at least. Heck, Reagan was the one who signed them into law.

A guy at my office is convinced Christians are expelled if they are caught praying in public schools, even public Universities. I've tried to correct him but he just waits patiently till I'm done explaining I used to be part of a Christian student club at a public University to tell me how wrong I am and how oppressed Christians are.

I'm curious if you counted up all the scandals that have occurred in just these first ten months of Trump's presidency would the total be larger than the combined total of scandals of all previous presidencies. A whole lot of poo poo had happened since Cheeto took office.
