    So many of them are total idiots it's alarming.
    • They don't know they are participating in a Marxist movement, yet there they are.
    • They don't know that they are tearing down and defacing statues of abolitionists.
    You have to be a total dumbass to be involved and not know.

    Nope. Simply no. One statue near me is trying to get teared down for Columbus. The fact that he was one of the first Spanish conquistadors is lost when we talk about Columbus Day. I almost never see him cast in that light. Now tell someone to venerate him even though he colonized their family. Don’t see too many statues of king George 3 around in the US now do you?

    Also for the Marxist, that’s just not understanding black Marxism. And the statues of abolitionists? How are the statues cast? As liberators, or white liberators?

    I think the main point is that politics and sports should remain separated. Fans lose loyalty, coaches have to worry about how their political views affect their jobs (players too)... it's just not good for sports. I would hate to see sports suffer from social political issues.

    Wasn't the "Hands up don't shoot" (which turned out to be a lie) Mike Brown a big reason? I honestly don't remember what exactly triggered it.

    How about *SJW are losers who can't accept responsibility for their own lot in life*. Because that's essentially what it is. They're not petitioning the government for redress of grievances, nor do they have a legitimate grievance against the government. Their grievance is that they failed personally and want others to help fix THEIR failures.

    Allow me to clear things up for you. The basic reason as to why SJW is a pejorative insult all stems from the falsehood of what SJWs claim to be. Things like equality, tolerance, inclusivity, anti-hate, etc are all buzzwords they use to cloak themselves with a protective shield of false narratives so they can operate contrary to the point. SJWs don't want things to be equal they want special attentions and conditions for whatever protected classification of human they invent. SJWs don't want tolerance they want submission and obedience to their way of thinking. SJWs don't want inclusivity they want to purge anyone and anything that disagrees with them. SJWs aren't against hate they regularly spew insult, spread falsehoods, promote animosity, and incite violence towards whites, Christians, southerners, gun owners, Republicans, business owners, the wealthy, police, and so on.

    SJWs are just hate game con-artists and that's why the phrase is an insult - because its a damned insulting thing to take up the mantle of a "social justice warrior".

    Can they fit the names of all the Black lives killed in Chicago that don't seem to matter to Black Lives Matter?

    They also forgot about Tim Tebow's eye black and how that offended the left.

    Tim Tebow's very career offended them, and frankly I thought that was going too far. His faith should not have precluded his ability in the NFL. And if people mention the unconventional system, Denver did enjoy some success with it. To me, it was an excuse to not have to deal with the "controversy"(I mean, there was some merit to it. If Tebow were a better pocket passer, he'd be much more of a dual QB threat) but still, he was successful at what he did.

    ^^^ This right here is a problem.

    While I am not a huge Trump fan, I wanted Cruz, Paul, Carson, Fiorina, and Rubio ahead of him in that order. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with a MAGA hat. What Leftists and the MSM have done to demonize a completely acceptable position and candidate is Orwellian. They have actually attempted and successfully so in the weak minded, redefined what "Make America Great Again" means by inferring their own twisted definition and then attacking that definition. A massive Straw Man has been erected and fine, innocent people have been severely harmed and hospitalized, because they want their Freedom of Speech too. It's sick.

    The Left and MSM should be ashamed, but they have no shame. Any lie is fine as long as it pushes their agenda.

    To attract unsuspecting dupes into a Marxist movement to push a Socialist Agenda. Have you even read their literature?

    Now, can you comment on the thread like everyone else? What would you put on the back of your jersey?

    To fund Joe Biden. It is a corrupt and illegal way to raise funds but it works. Just about everything you have seen in the past few months has been for the sole purpose of defeating Trump. There are extremely powerful people who do want Trump re-elected and they do not care how many people they have to harm to reach that objective.

    The 2016 primaries were talented AF(on the Republican side.) There were so many good candidates for President(sure, might not have been Nationalists, but I was confident they'd be better than the Obama-Biden regime.). I was Paul, Rubio, Fiorina, Cruz and then Carson.

    (My whole thing is statesmanship, and someone who can command authority.) And as an agnostic person, I'm not too big on religious dogma which I thought Cruz/Carson had in spades. But Cruz has won me over listening to his podcasts, and seeing him in action where I do think Cruz can maintain our secular union, and won't let his own views ultimately be the detriment of the country.

    If Cruz ran for President again in 2024, he'd probably have my vote.

    Fortunately the truth came out in the autopsy, which nullified the so-called "witnesses" claiming Brown was innocent, and/or running for his life, or never tried to take the officer's gun, or any other bullsh*t.

    A witness to the ground-and-pound was part of Trayvon's downfall, but science was the downfall in Brown's case.

    I am 100% with you on all of it. Although I am religious, I do not push it in politics.

    Can you imagine if an NBA Player had the names of the murdered in Chicago from the day before for each game? It would get national news FAST. Let's see if the league is cowardly or if it actually has the balls to really allow Free Speech.
