Well, protest is about pushing your allies as much as it is about challenging your enemies. Should MLK have held off on the "I Have a Dream" speech because Kennedy was president?

Yes, also on not killing himself.

He got flagged not fined, and the NFL said they screwed up afterwards and it shouldn't have been called.

Eh he still has things to lose. If that bleacher report thing is right he lost a lot of places to play backup QB/try to resurrect his career at the very least.

Whole lotta Fulgencio Bautista apologists itt

My favorite random sports radio caller take I've ever heard was comparing Miguel Bautista to Fulgencio Batista and saying the Royals had banished him from America never to return just like Castro did to Fulgencio. In the playoffs last year after KC clinched that series.

I mean...what?

Yo dudes I checked the gently caress out from football for a while, is Kaepernick expected to start week 1?

I think it's Gabbert, but Kaep is the backup and will stay on the team (pending a potential announcement tomorrow afternoon).

I am convinced that I, the dumbest least informed poster on TFF, could be a better sports analyist than anyone on ESPN

He makes a lot of dumb statements but as far as draft analysis goes I can actually appreciate the guy who you're named after. Just because of that one time the Jags or someone drafted some kid in the 2nd round and everyone sitting at the table had no clue who he was. Not like they were just wrong about what type of player he was, they had no idea a person by that name existed. Then they go to Kiper and he gives a full breakdown of the guy.

He's an idiot but damned if he doesn't at least do his best to be prepared.

Can anyone actually give me a reason as to why the national anthem even needs to be played before the start of a game anyway?

I think there's a pretty good argument that it cheapens the impact of the anthem.

Like, imagine if they usually don't play it and then break it out for 9/11. That could be a powerful bit of imagery. I'm sure many if not all stadiums will do something special on Sunday, but the anthem itself will not be particularly different from any other game. Instead for whatever reason it's become tradition and tonight before the Twins who are 29.5 games out of first place play a largely meaningless game the anthem will play. Lots of the poor saps who go will be standing, but doing so in concession lines and mostly ignoring the anthem or waiting for it to get the gently caress over so they can get a damned beer before the top of the 1st.

He's pretty close already isn't he? I was under the impression that he basically lucked into Elway being a pretty good front office guy and doesn't really know anything that's going on with the team.

I don't know what show that is but I hate it, even if Quannell's take there was decent.

I honestly thought this might have been set up to make him look good, but no. This is a regular thing for that station?

I mean gently caress that station for letting the white guy in.

Like poo poo what justification is there for shooting at that social worker in Florida laying on his back with his hands in the air screaming about how the dude next to him is just a mentally deficient guy with a toy truck


Like gently caress what's the loving justification

What is it

He wasn't close enough to hear him saying please don't shoot the other guy, he doesn't have a gun and is playing with a toy truck. Then he got scared of the truck, and shot at the other guy but hit him, because they are professionals.

Cops and/or pigs should probably have sufficient training and less toys. The hottest of takes.

Actually feral hogs with good training is a terrifying idea, scratch the thing after cops.

Huh, I somehow missed this.

quote:

Leah Tysse, a singer chosen to perform ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ at a Sacramento Kings exhibition game on Monday evening, took a knee during the song’s final stanza in protest of what she calls the “deep system of institutionalized racism in America.”

Tysse happens to be white for whatever it's worth. Anyway, minorly interesting, but looking her up I found out that bluelivesmatter.blue exists and now I'm just tired.

Have they? I know the wobblies in Washington State got their start by inciting a lot of anti Chinese sentiment (because ports were hiring Chinese dock workers willing to work for a lot less than what the standard pay was for their white counterparts).

I hope you're right because I'm just floating around this thread waiting for a chance to talk about Hoover and I think that gets me closer to the goal.

e: On reflection Spoeank's post gives me free reign anyway. I am giving forums poster African Aids Cum a list of 200+ posters who are card carrying communists should he buy out his ban.

Hmm, this doesn't seem as damaging around here as it was back then.
