I remember after bin Laden died the comment boards were filled with comments about how deplorable it was that people would celebrate the death of anyone, regardless of how that person lived. It’s kind of fascinating, actually.

yeah, who invited these commentators in here? Just cause your house got burned down doesn’t mean you get to shit all over mine...

If Megan Rapinoe kneels during the National Anthem, and no one is in the stadium to watch the game, does it still rustle the media’s jimmies?

If a white man grew his hair out naturally and didn’t cut it for a long time, I would say that is stupid too. I said it about Tom Brady when he did that.

The standing/kneeling is a fine protest, if functionally incoherent (who is it meant to sway? What specific, definable change is it looking to empower? Is there an endgame?) but if Kaepernick really wants to make a change the $1m pledge to charity is obviously way, way more relevant. It would behoove Kaepernick to put…

...but because she wasn’t shot by a police officer, there won’t be a single protest. Black Lives Matter? Not in Chicago.

guess you have to be related to a basketball player to get noticed

This is all white people’s fault. Fucking racist ass white people turned chicongo into a violent hellhole.

A black person killed in Chicago?! Shocking.

Hes free to express himself in any way he wants. I cant wait until he does it in front of a group of marines on the field. Or maybe in front of families of fallen soldiers.

Lol sweet straw man Timmy. Really knocked it out of the park there!
