my point was more of, lets stop the racist bullcrap, had you bothered to use some reading comprehension.

This has to be the stupidest thing ever. The Patriots have had star players who happen to be black come and go.
Who cares? except for the people who hate winners that is who and they will say anything to try and smear anyone who does not see eye to eye with them.


I heard this racist accusation on the radio the other day and said no way is Tom Brady racist.

If anyone noticed at the end of the Superbowl Brady was overcome with emotion and knelt down on the field, a member of the Pats staff came over to console him and Brady didn't respond until Legarrette Blount a star running back came over to him and Brady got up and gave him a big hug.
I don't think a racist individual would wrap his arms around a big black guy and embrace him.

The Patriots are a no nonsense team. They only take the best of the best and if you can't cut it then you get cut regardless of your skin tone.

You need to get out more.
You don't know many die hard sports fans I guess.

You tell a loyal Patriots that his team and him are racists, you'd be surprised.

you need reading comprehension. my point was pretty clear. As per usual, people started arguing stuff that wasn't said. Basic fallacy stuff that happens all the time here.


"the pats aren't racist but I can see why a white supremacist would cheer for them, but that doesn't mean all their fans are racist"-my point


WHAT PEOPLE RESPOND WITH


"oh so non-racists cheer for the falcons"-not what I said




I broke it down for you.

That would change over to vote republican. Most fans would just roll their eyes, call that person, an A-hole, and walk from an obvious idiot. Granted some fans.........well.....the people who would make these racist claims might wake up one morning to find a baseball bat lodged in their front windshield of their car.

I agree, Tom Brady is not a racist...nothing close to a racist. I hate that term anyway but since he supports a President that is perceived as one, then he and the franchise must be as well by association. This is really much bigger than football.

the same reason many white supremacists sleep with people they don't like
the same reason sexist men still sleep with women
the same reason Donald Sterling owned a team full of blacks and paid them millions


point:racism lacks logic.

Brady needs to retire and run for Crazy Warrens Senate seat.

That would be a win-win for us Cowboy fans.

I wouldn't say that that the Pats are a racist organization, but their owner, head coach and QB are Trump supporters which means they at least have a high tolerance for racism.
Pure, unadultered BS^^^
