Or, put another way, Donald Fucking Trump accused our first black president of having engaged in a criminal conspiracy to illegally seize the White House. This motherfucker.
Also, in printed form, it would be libel, but that’s neither here nor there.
These are the same people who consistently conflate “calling out racism” with “being racist against white people.”
Just a reminder that Donald Trump publicly berated Obama on a daily fucking basis for eight fucking years, continually insisting that he did not meet the minimum requirement to be president. In short, fuck Donald Trump, and fuck this hypocritical bullshit by the right.
“Businesses need to be politically agnostic or they risk alienating large swaths of the country whether you agree with them or not.”
Remember, calling a white person racist (even if everything they do is racist) is the worst speech offense you can commit. Donald Trump can call Mexicans rapists, he can tell people that only Jews should count money, he can be sued for racial discrimination against black people, and he’ll still be elected president.
This point is 20 years old by now, but, boxing, horse-racing, and baseball have all held and lost the pinnacle of the American sports landscape. It can happen. Over a long enough timeframe, it will happen to football, even if it isn’t laid low by its immediate issues.
