The best part is no dog bites or tears the jersey. They just attack some white asshole. LOL. Dogs are smarter than most white asshats. Who knew? I did.

She's wearing a mask. If they work, what is she afraid of? If they don't want to wear a mask because of freedom, why don't they take off their shirts and go barefoot too? Is it about freedom or a bullshit convenient excuse to make a political point?

Although I don't believe every conclusion reached in that article, I think the following point was spot-on: Life is far more complicated than the race-baiting that gets retweeted and liked over Twitter. What happened to George Floyd is more complicated than the substance-less assertion that Derek Chauvin acted out of racial animus.And I do agree that sports people that were outspoken at the release of the initial Floyd footage also need to give their reactions to the newly released footage. This additional footage still doesn't explain why Officer Chauvin put his knee on the back of Floyd's neck for nearly 9 min, but it does give more of a background / clarity into the entire situation and as such, they need to be asked if they still believe that Floyd's death was race-related because like the article said, certain sports leagues have chosen to " drape themselves in Black Lives Matter symbols and view all negative encounters between black people and white people as examples of white supremacy", and I personally don't think "progress" will be made until they come out from that drape.... ...and in particular, San Antonio Spurs Coach Greg Popovich - who has continually called for people to have "uncomfortable conversations" - needs to take a dose of his own medicine and be asked an "uncomfortable" question by the media. Leaders need to recognize that perhaps they reacted too critically to something they didn't have all the information on and say it just as loudly as their initial reaction...I think people in general have alot more respect for leaders who admit their own faults and learn from them because we all have them and we all need to continually learn.

I think a good portion of sports fans can see through the charade, most fans cheer for all the athlete no matter their color not to mention spend hard earned money buying merchandise of all different players. As far as pro sports go they have no race issues as far as I can see as a casual fan. But, now we are forced to watch this and as a white man I don’t need BLM shoved in my face every time I want to see a game. It’s a disgrace as far as I’m concerned and it actually gives me animosity I never had before this. But don’t mistake animosity for racism.

That's a period back there. I put that suit on one time, being devoid of common sense! Always knew the power in even the small dogs, but wanted to be on the wrong end for the experience. Crazy! being in the end of two dogs wanting, trained, to put you down!!! The initial impact from the dogs blew me away. Let them do their thing and got out of that suit. Weighs a ton, all stinky....

Yay. Celebrate hatred. Kap deserves it. Turns out he was all.....................wrong? Wait, what does that video show? I think it was Kap who first exhibited hate when he wore the pig cop socks. And it wasn't in jest like this video. He has also supported Castro. Ironic... Then his whole disrespectful kneeling "thing" was based on a lie. So yes, he deserves to be mocked and he was ALL wrong.

Its funny how things look at first blush compared to when al the facts roll in. I admit to being one who gets after it quick, but I try to hear both sides equally. Racism exits, its ugly, and its the human condition. BUT....getting a man into a car who doesn't want to be there takes training, and these cops could use more of it. You can reasonably say he brought it on himself, but just as reasonably say with better training he would have gone in the car easier. People will have to get their heads around the fact that well trained cops might break your wrist or dislocate some shit, but better than dead. BTW, nba blows the pipe on the hot end, buncha hypocrites glad ive been over them.
