Too much nonsense, from Serena to Colin
American Thinker ^ | September 10, 2018 | Silvio Canto, Jr.

Posted on 09/10/2018 8:42:20 AM PDT by jazusamo

A couple of years ago, QB Colin Kaepernick got benched because he couldn't play anymore. As I recall, he was regularly passing the ball to the other team in what we call "interceptions."

Colin got benched and turned into a political philosopher. He could have worked on his deteriorating skills and tried to get his old job back. Not Colin. He found his "inner Che," and we know the rest of the story.

The NFL is now all about Colin, and the fans are not tuning in.

Now Nike is referring to his act as some kind of "sacrifice."

Sorry, but I know real heroes who were killed in Iraq or lost a leg in Afghanistan. We have a D-Day veteran at our church.

Colin's sacrifice is nothing compared to those three examples. As the old saying goes: Colin, I've known heroes, and you are no hero.

This weekend, Serena Williams behaved like a spoiled brat and actually got fined for her childish performance.

The entire post-match celebration was all about Serena, and a nice young woman from Japan was treated to a first-class look at how political correctness is tearing up the country.

A good summation; short, appropriate and accurate.

Watch out! Some might be triggered by the word “nonsense” as a racial dogwhistle.

I don’t know how much it’s “tearing up the country,” unless you have a hard time telling the difference between “the United States of America” and a bunch of spoiled-brat prima donna sports multi-millionaire steroid cases.

There was a word for this sort of behavior, but its use is now prohibited for use by persons of pallor.

To Sail Beyond the Sunset Quotes (showing 1-1 of 1): “But there seems to have been an actual decline in rational thinking. The United States had become a place where entertainers and professional athletes were mistaken for people of importance. They were idolized and treated as leaders; their opinions were sought on everything and they took themselves just as seriously — after all, if an athlete is paid a million or more a year, he knows he is important … so his opinions of foreign affairs and domestic policies must be important, too, even though he proves himself to be both ignorant and subliterate every time he/she opens his mouth. (Most of his fans were just as ignorant and unlettered; the disease was spreading.)” ― Robert A. Heinlein, To Sail Beyond the Sunset

Heinlein nailed that right in the ten ring.

If these folks don’t act with a bit more decorum and civility they just might resurrect the popular use of some old terms that have been consigned to the PC closet.

Are Black Americans offended yet that the media keeps putting up these two idiots as representative?

Raven were in negotiations, and Denver stated they offered job and back up money, of about seven million.

He turned it down. Luckily for the offering teams, he sucked.
