I genuinely don’t care what low-wattage thoughts bounce around in his empty head. Whether he “really thinks” Nazis are good or bad is completely irrelevant. It’s what you do that matters, and what he does is provide comfort and support (and jobs) to dangerous white supremacists.

The irony of a writer using the platform on which he gets the most exposure to publicly shame a man for using the same technique is fucking astounding

John McGrath has ample opportunity throughout the day to share his views on the proper way to protest in America. I would prefer if in his columns he just stuck to sports.

Why are so many people not staring at the flag through tear-filled eyes as blood rushes to their boners while the anthem is playing?

“Make the sit-down statement, OK. Making the sit-down statement with a towel over your head pushes the line, and Bennett’s job is to push another kind of line.”

The one sportswriter sin I hate more than all the others, the one that should get someone fired for writing, and, if makes it that far, gets someone else fired for printing is admitting you have no sources or standing to make this statement: “no fellow players criticized Bennett’s refusal to join them for the anthem,…

While no fellow players criticized Bennett’s refusal to join them for the anthem, I suspect at least a few of them were not thrilled by the snapshot of the towel hanging over his head.

Hang on. Am I finally out of the greys on Deadspin?

You identified yourself as a neo nazi. Well played.

Marshawn donates tons of time and money to the cause and I bet no form of protest is good enough for you.

“That flag represents our freedom from the control of Great Britain.”

You talk about those “disrespecting the flag” being too selfish to understand you, but you never stopped to think about the people America tramples on both at home and abroad. What respect should the indigenous peoples of this country feel for someone else’s flag planted on their land and atop the bloodied bodies of…

Marv. Buddy, listen. You might feel that way, and that’s fine. But when people like Kaepernick take a knee, or Marshawn Lynch sits during the National Anthem, they aren’t doing it to disrespect your sacrifice. They’re doing it because we supposedly live in a country that has the most freedom in the world, and yet in…

So sitting for a protest is disrespectful but the systematic incarceration of African Americans is fine? You aren’t the only one who joined the service you know. You don’t get to spout bullshit and say you speak for all of us.

Why do we still play the anthem before domestic sporting events? What purpose does it still serve?

Looks like I have to buy a Marshawn Lynch jersey AND a Colin Kaepernick jersey now.

That’s good because Marshawn certainly doesn’t

Marshawn Lynch is a top 5 American imo, and that is my objectively correct take

Good. If we are all Americans first, then being an American isn’t worth shit. I’m an American by accident, just like I’m white, male and heterosexual by accident. I have no pride in any of it. And anybody who wants me to “come together” with white supremacists under the banner of what is fundamentally nationalist…

It is all good to remember that the Republicans wants to legalize running over protesters with your car. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/tennessee-bill-protects-drivers-hit-protesters_us_58a1f676e4b03df370d8e858
