The AFC is currently planning disciplinary action against the Iraqi Football Federation

And people still aren’t happy. It’s like he needs to play 1 on 5 against the Cavs for his journey to be meaningful. Fuck that noise. Ball out, get the ring, fuck the haters.

It’s not just that he was slurring and incomprehensible. It’s that he appeared, on a fundamental level, to completely misunderstand the differing natures of the two investigations.

Shame also doesn’t work on trolls, which is why it’s having no effect here.

Why are you so intent on being against the guy who is against institutional racism?

Er, I think you’ve conflated me with another commenter or you’ve dived into this thread too deeply, since my only position was that the NFL has a pretty spotty history regarding social justice types. But, ok. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Potential hot take:

Think of it this way. Why is he a lightning rod? Why is he a distraction? He certainly doesn’t get in front of the camera and turn into a raging militant asshole. The guy sat/knelt during the anthem. That’s it. He’s a distraction because white conservatives fucking hate brown skinned people who don’t know their…

Counterpoint, he’s better than half the starting QB’s in the league right now.

It was subtle, poignant, and about as far away from “attention seeking” as one can get. Honestly, the only reason it got so much media coverage was because people who disagreed with him wouldn’t shut up…

It’s absurd watching these sportswriters turn themselves into pretzels to avoid the obvious. Strip away all their bullshit and here are the facts: a black quarterback who once started a Super Bowl began protesting this country’s racial injustices and then (probably) never played in the league ever again. I despair for…

Already done.

I keep saying this. Anyone batshit enough to want this job should be far far away from it.

See, that’s what we need. The American public has shown exactly what it wants in a leader: An idiot. In fact, the biggest idiot available.

I’m really surprised Franken’s name doesn’t get brought up more often. I can’t really think of anyone better to go against Trump, and Franken also happens to be on the right side of most issues.

The last thing we need (other than the virus we already have) is privileged Techbros running the country.

Post haste is too far off...I want it pre haste!

...and about our Secretary of State,
