How low we have sunk!

Cubs’ owner Phillip Wrigley refused for years to allow the Anthem played at Cubs games because he felt such frequency cheapened the Anthem. The Cubs only relented in the ‘60s.

The coach, presented with a teachable moment, fumbled it away

Now there you go, thinking again. Thinking like a normal person, that is.

That was no fumble, that was a touchdown - in that coach's mind - and therein lies the problem.

It would take a miracle for the hurt fans to come back even if all NFL players suddenly got a clue.

It’s not about black men being killed by white cops. Whether the useful idiots on the spearhead of any social campaign are aware of it or not, the money is far behind them, and they may not have seen a dime of it, but it is manifesting it’s will. And the money in this case, or the true will, is to degrade civil order.

For some years now I’ve been pointing out, given that there appears to be issues with empaneling any jury to sit in judgment (at least in any serious matter) of a black defendant that does not include black jurors, and that it only takes one juror to prevent conviction **, that it seems logical given conviction rates that black jurors are MORE likely to vote to convict, not less.

Which is to say: you cannot get these conviction rates without blacks being perfectly fine with locking them up when it’s actually them you are asking in some official manner.

So what does this do to the whole diatribe about the rate of blacks being convicted bring racism?

As with the laws that are frequently violated being tweaked by the demands of black communities wanting to government to deal with those who prey upon them I’m guessing it undermines it ... a lot.

But rhetoric is not practice: what a person may rile against in theory and what they may do when they are responsible, when they are considering the actual wrongs done, are two entirely separate things.

And defense lawyers just don’t seem to get it.

** mistrials etc are other matters

Facts are irrelevant in almost all of this race crap.

Many Americans no longer even know what a fact is, much less care about truth. They are too stupid to participate in self governance and deserve to volunteer their freedom rather than enduring the plight of hard work and success on their own.

Our culture has so denigrated as to afford people a living without actually having to contribute anything for their own survival, much less success. As a result, they have time to consider their own self worth. In consideration of their own self worth, they gravitate to self pity. Then they move on to blame. Who is responsible for the reality of their place in society? Ignorance and indolence leads them to accept the easy out that liberals/democrats give them. They believe it’s the fault of society/slavery/racism/white privilege/oppression/police brutality/the 1%/Jews/Alt Right Christians/Conservatives/Republicans. And they want justice and revenge, not change. If they wanted change they would blame the messenger. That’s what people in denial do.

The systemic hate that a burgeoning part of our population is adopting is spoon fed to them and ingrained and/or indoctrinated through their own family dynamic and indeed our education system. But it is also fed to them in the media, television sitcoms, movies and now popular sports too.

Our nation has lost our rich culture of rugged individualism under the flag of freedom. We have lost it to the liberal/socialist left. And good men have and continue to do little to nothing on the scale that is needed. Where have all the leaders gone?

Facts: More blacks kill blacks than cops/whites do. No protests.

NO protest,NO kneeling/singing/ribbons etc HAS ever or WILL ever change how people act. No one seeing a protest will go home and say " I'll change my personality and be sweet and kind to everyone the same." Does anynone have ONE example of a behavioral change because someone else kneels down/protests?

All this symbolism is empty and only about attention. It's useless except as provocation. It's about choosing- a sport and players who offend or love of country. It's about crapping where you eat and expecting/believing your customers will take any abuse to watch a game.

IMHO every sports event, every community event should start with the singing of the National Anthem, not by some celebrity, but by all present - all spectators. Project the words on a screen for those who where never taught the words in school. Turn up sound.

It’s hard to decide who is stupider in this scenario, the players or the owners. But the blame if this farce continues should be on the fans who continue to fill the seats at NFL games or who tune in the games on TV.

No. For Leftists, facts are always inconvenient and to be avoided at all costs.

And there is no way in hell that a black religious sect would have been treated by the BATF and FBI like the Branch Davidians at WACO
