For all the people who need an explanation on why “All lives matter” is racist: It is a direct refutation of the Black Lives Matter protest movement, which is not claiming black supremacy, but instead an implicit acknowledgment that black lives (also) matter.
Could you imagine if someone altered the national anthem in support of Black Lives Matter?
From what I read here, they even honored the police who got shot.
So are they walking out on the justice and accountability part? Or the fact that they dared to wear a shirt with names of two dead black men?
The cops that walked off can’t even say it was because “there was anti-police rhetoric being used” (some morons still think that saying Black Lives Matter means other lives don’t).

Though I love the random capitalization of Important Words. I bet he totally does that.
Correct spelling and punctuation. As if.
In retaliation for the classless move, his catcher threw at him in the subsequent inning.
I’m a gay man and I lost my fiancee to a brutal car accident just days ago. I’m still in shock and my grieving process is going through all sorts of motions. Sudden death is the worst heartbreak. I feel for the victims and their families and friends.
Another thing you can do?
2016 America: Where a 12-year old boy is shot and killed by the police for playing with a toy and it’s his fault because he should have “known” that people would see him as a threat, while a full-grown adult who rapes an unconscious woman and tries to flee should only have to endure a couple months of jail because…
Colorado should get used to seeing this. Mark Sanchez is always throwing into double coverage.
