And don't bring up bringing in politics to sports. When it's something you agree with it's ok. "I love how they honored vets! Oh, that flyover was beautiful! I'm glad they are wearing pink for cancer awareness!".
Here's the difference: The players are pushing a false narrative. It's all a lie, whether you like it or not.

No need to pretend, there is no racist cop problem. None of those is about race, same thing happens to white suspects

Need to increase police funding for better training and weeding out the 1 in a 1000 that are unfit for the job

There have been numerous cops caught on recordings saying just that. And we aren't equal according to some people. I grew up in a majority white town/suburb (93%) and some were bold enough to say it. This wasn't in the 30's but just 15 years ago in Mississippi. Some of my best friends were white but their parents were racists pieces of $%^$ that still lived in the past. They would tell me the stuff their parents would say. No one said that all whites are horrible. Don't group all of us together. Like I said, I grew up around whites and some of them were the best humans I've ever meet. I still talk to some today. Not all blacks are criminals and/or look suspicious taking a late night walk through their own neighborhood.

Don't let the extremists determine what BLM stands for. I don't let the extremists determine what the Rep. stand for.
BLM are an anti-white racist hate group. I am sorry to rain on your parade: https://www.takimag.com/article/blms-hitlerian-heart/

And with all due respect I don't agree with much of your assertions here.
Indeed-

If BLM was about equality of blacks and whites, everyone would support it. It is not.

BLM is about:

1. Marxism

2. Black Supremacy


There is nothing “equal” about demanding $12 trillion in “repararatiins”.

There is nothing equal in demanding lower admission standards in college

There is nothing equal in demanding “quotas” for every job (except pro sports) when there are more qualified applicants

There is nothing equal in blacks destroying billions of dollars in property when a black criminal is killed

There is nothing equal in demanding whites kneel it raise a fist in support of BLM, or be harassed or injured

There is nothing equal in BLM members demanding extortion money from businesses

There is nothing equal in demanding the dismantling of police departments so BLM can commit crimes

There is nothing equal in looting businesses

There is nothing equal in holding citizens hostage in BLM zones

There is nothing equal in infringing on the rights of others to “make a political statement”



BLM, like ANTIFA, is a domestic terrorist organization equivalent to “insurgents” in other nations. They cannot and will not abide by the laws of the nation and seek “super citizen” status in which they are immune from criminal prosecution, can destroy property without consequence, and demand large cash payments for thier skin color.

Nope, but if thousands did all over the country, then that changes things.

And that's whats happening in the name of BLM.

Translation: "EQUALITY" = Trillions in reparations, blacks control every facet of America.

You keep using deception like most sports watched minutes since the Super Bowl, which is pure propaganda, because it ignores that there have been ZERO big sports weekends since the Super Bowl. No March Madness. No NBA finals. This weekend had NFL, the return of college football, MLB in the playoff hunt, NBA playoffs. I shouldn't have to explain this to you. If you were thinking and not being partisan, you would see that the drop in NFL ratings with MORE sports viewers is actually troubling.

I am amazed that the self-proclaimed "party of science" is continually denying obvious and basic facts like the overall NFL ratings.

I am amazed that this party of science isn't scientific enough to understand the stupidity of looking at overall sportsviewers being up when discussing specifically NFL viewership.

For a fact the NFL had improving ratings for 2 years straight and week 1 of 2020 was very disappointing.
And the CEO of Fanatics, Michael Rubin reported “Football is back! NFL sales jump more than 35% for opening weekend vs last year, setting a record for best start ever to the NFL season.”

You bet against the NFL and see how that works for you. I'll buy every bit of NFL stock that you're selling.

I highly doubt this, nobody is lining up to buy NFL gear to wear at their homes.

For the first time ever I did not watch the NFL either and am not participating in fantasy football either.
