    Covington: BLM are ‘terrorists’


    “He’s standing up for lifelong criminals, Covington said of Woodley. “The Black Lives Matter is a complete sham. It’s a joke. They’re taking these people that are complete terrorists. They’re taking these people that that are criminals.”



    Covington closed his commentary with a personal attack of Woodley, leaning on common political rhetoric used to discredit the Black Lives Matter movement.



    “He’s a communist,” Covington said. “He’s a Marxist. He stands for criminals. He hates America, and that’s why he got broke tonight.”

    Here's a real winner of a tRUMP supporter.
    They don't come much more racist than this clown.

    Dude was gonna get cut from UFC for being a no-draw personality even if he's a good fighter.

    So he went the McGregor route and created a media drawing heel persona.

    And it works.

    NFL players are doing that too, just on the other side. If their names are in the media, it gives them a tiny leg up not to get cut. Not saying it works every time, but sometimes it does especially for coaches like Pete Carroll or Harbaugh that are terrified of a media storm.

    Where's the race baiting? Smoke signals? That's not race baiting, but calling people white supremacists is.

    General demographic attention. Know your audience and play it up.

    As a wrestling fan, it's hilarious to see so many realize why it is/was so popular. Work the marks to drive up ticket sales and get attention.

    BLM shot two cops, hit one in the head with a bat, and threw a molotove at a group of officers. This was all just last night. BLM is nothing less then terrorists at this point.

    That type of violence is actually the definition of terrorism. They are trying to use violence and fear to get what they want. People can't be outraged that someone is calling it like it is. Unless it offends their narrative.

    I don't know if some of this isn't part of the hype for the fight....

    but whatever, he is certainly free to express himself like others are doing.

    This is terrible. An athlete who is not a BLM supporting flag disrespecting liberal. The horror. The horror.

    He certainly knows the words to say. He's got all the QAnon language down pat.
    I think he actually hates America.

    I bet there was more there than just BLM. Some have been arrested, it should be real easy to see if they are BLM members.
    I am sure Proud bois, boogaloo, and patriot prayer were also there. In addition to RW militia vigilantees.

    So, you have any proof it was BLM or just more fake BS.
    Protests all over the country. tRUMPs great America marches on.

    I really don't care what you're sure of. The fact is BLM has been rioting for months. Setting fires and assaulting people. That's terrorism. Amd if I'm wrong about last night being them then I'll own when I'm shown proof, but considering their history it's not that much of a stretch to conclude it was them. They are terrorists and it's that simple.

    All lives matter.

    Gee the shooter of two Louisville police officers sure doesn't look like the Proud Boys. I think I am going to need more evidence than your assertion.

    I am pretty close to accusing the MSM of aiding and abetting terrorists. The lies they are telling are getting people killed and neighborhoods ruined. They are also pushing the idea of expanding the violence and mayhem to the suburbs. This is insanity. The people in the suburbs have done NOTHING to people living in the city.

    By the way, you are free not to watch this fighter if his political views upset you. That is what I have done with sports.

    So there is actual proof that BLM was present and you have issues believing that they were responsible, yet there is no proof there were any right wing groups there yet "youre betting" other groups were responsible. It's really pointless debating with people like you. No amount of proof will ever make you admit the obvious truth. Have fun in your fantasy world

    Why do you think that "should be real easy"? You know there's not like an official membership list for BLM, right? It's a movement / ideology, not an official club with dues-paying "members".

    no one has proven any of that. So I don't really care what you post. Until you provide some proof, you just stating an opinion. Likely formed from bad information.

    So that means it's BLM? A black person is all of BLM.

    Then all supporters are tRUMP are classified as white nationalists who run over people with cars or armed vigilantes who kill during protests. According to your logic.

    Where did I bet that others were responsible?

    It's really pointless debating with people like you who. What obvious truth? You've offered nothing.
    Have fun in your fantasy world.

    So then BLM being responsible is just made up.
    Like every white person on the right that does something wrong voters of tRUMP is responsible? White's are white supremacists?
    Voters of tRUMP are racists? Facists? According to Covington and your logic?

    "Here's a real winner of a tRUMP supporter.

    Ahem .. Your OP is an opinion.. If you dont want people to discuss your opinion and share their own dont start a thread based on an opinion.. You have been around forever you should know better.
