I’m not sure when the military and police decided they had exclusive claim to the American Flag and the National Anthem, but it’s long past time we put them in their place. Kneeling during the Anthem is not disrespecting military service. The Anthem represents our country, not the military. Our flag does not represent…

So your theory rests on the idea that these police officers cleared the area but somehow missed Bennett when they were doing so? Interesting.

That’s right, guys. Circle the motherfucking wagons. Whatever happens, do NOT acknowledge the idea that maybe, just maybe, every now and then, an officer or two can overstep their boundaries, get a little power-mad, and righteously fuck over a member of the public. Nope. Impossible. Every single fucking action a cop…

One of my best friends is a public defender and says the police lie frequently and do so with relative impunity because we as a society are conditioned to trust them. This letter smells of that rank bullshit. I pray that footage emerges to back Michael Bennett’s side of the story. I also pray that the ACLU gets…

There’s one of these flying on my street and I only just today googled what it was

Jesus Christ. What percentage of Americans do you think would have sexual intercourse with an American flag if it were physically possible? 65%?

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: police union spokesmen are the worst people in America.

Solid post...and representative of most peoples’ penchant for visceral reactions fueled by personal opinion vs. objectivity. As if it hasn’t been difficult enough for CK to get work [for obvious reasons not many decision makers in the NFL want to outwardly admit], his GF spouts off with an ill-timed and ill-intended…

Calling a black man a “head house slave” is extremely degrading, and it’s a comment that specifically has to do with his race and is disparaging because of his race. The fact that the person who posted the degrading racist comparison is black doesn’t change the meaning of the reference nor the intent to degrade, and…

Couldn’t you just Ctrl+F and replace “2018" with “2014? And then replace “United States” with “Mexico”?

I think it’s the polar opposite of white supremacy to have a problem with accusations of being a white supremacist. In fact, I’d steer clear of anybody comfortable of that description. And I sure as hell wouldn’t hire anybody whose significant other would accuse me of that, without proof nor merit, in public.

She is referring to Bisciotti as a cruel, violent slavemaster, and Lewis as one of the lowest things a black person can be (at least that’s what they call head house slaves in the movie), all on the basis that one of them is white and one is black, and that they were considering offering her boyfriend a lot of money…

Yeah, he’s better than some back-ups. Is he good enough to make the media drama worth it? Is he good enough to justify whatever salary he’s asking for? (And let’s not be naive, Kaep isn’t going to take a pittance here, he wants to earn in accordance with what he was making before as a starter.)

It might not affect his (Rodgers’) standing with the fans, but they were more than happy to blame his girlfriend for his struggles a couple of years ago. Seems like a common theme with sports fans to want to blame significant others when something happens. I wonder why that is...

Let’s keep in mind that Phil Simms expresses skepticism-to-outright-confusion on nearly every play and penalty in the games he broadcasts, so it’s no surprise he’d do the same to Ray Lewis’ story. However, I heard similar stories from my friends in Baltimore who are more in-tune with the team behind-the-scenes when…

What does he have to apologize for? Kneeling in protest is not murdering dogs.

Vick was better than CK and contrite. People will forgive almost anything if you apologize and doubly so if you are good at football. Also, It wasn’t smooth for Vick. He and the Eagles took a huge amount of slack for signing Vick who got protested on the regular. I know people who cancelled tickets and wouldn’t…

It’s from Django. She’s basically calling Ray Lewis an “Uncle Tom”.
