So have I.
Sorry to insult so many people but that one truly admirable Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers was a former police officer and strongly denounces the rioters of BLM.
And Father Mitch Pacwa and hosts Raymond Arroyo and Teresa Tomeo on Catholic radio also did so. Father Pacwa compared BLM supporters to early Nazis on the ballot in Germany.
The Rev.Theodore Rothrock who led the Diocese of Lafayette-in-Indiana, which represents 24 Indiana counties and was the pastor of St. Elizabeth Seton Parish in Carmel, spoke out bluntly against BLM and was suspended and then removed by his superiors.
The woman who lashed out against President Trump for carrying a Bible to her partially burned Episcopal church Rev Mariann Budde was lavishly praised and publicly backed up by a Catholic priest James Martin,SJ among others who slurred President Trump for supposedly using the Bible as a prop.
Protestant Christian minister R. Franklin Graham has criticized the BLM rioters.
Orthodox Jews, especially Lubavitchers of Chabad in NY are against the leftist movements. Many Reform congregation leaders are supportive.
Here is the problem: Apparently most religious leaders in America are afraid to be slapped with the label “racist” is they courageously speak against the obvious crossroads of our country in which Dems will usher in suppressive Marxists and violent BLM and Black Panther types if the Dems win in November. BLM’s mission says to end the nuclear family. That is against God’s teachings in the Bible. Then, religious people will be shut down as in Communist China. A “lockdown” and “limit of 10 people” may be used, or outright shutdowns.
The time for religious leaders to speak out is NOW. And they are not going to be patted on the back for their hypocritical, phony virtue signaling. No one really believes them.
I am going to Comcast next week to cancel my “Sports Package” It will save me $20 a month.
I quit NFL when Kapernick started his kneel down act. I watched a few games last season but not to see who wins. I watched to see who loses and who gets hurt.
I’ve been sticking to old time boxing videos, Youtube has really amazing stuff like this fight between Cassius Clay and Henry Cooper back in 1963, and Cooper was pretty much kicking Clays butt. even knocked him out into the ropes until the ref had to stop the fight from Coopers eye being badly cut. No commercials and no leftist ESPN dickheads.

I’ve already lost interest in NBA. I could not relate to this generation’s players. I grew up on Magic, Bird, Thomas, Jordan, Malone and Stockton.
BLM: Billionaire Lives Matter.
I wonder if the owners of all pro leagues got together and agreed they would all take the plunge in an attempt to flood the zone. They may think the quickest way to kill boycotts is to all be on the same side. They may be right.
My wife was watching the Celtics last night. She was complaining because she could not read the names on the Raptor Jerseys.
I wondered out loud if MAGA was one of the choices for the stupid slogans on the backs of the uniforms.
“End racism”
What racism are they referring to? Where exactly is the racism in that George Floyd case? Black cops kill white people as well, is that immediately branded as racism? This George Floyd case hasn’t even gone to trial yet, and here we got people like Oprah and Michael Obama going around screaming racism.
The only real racism I’m seeing is from the left every day bashing white people
Under Lebrons BLM message it should say “But Chinese lives don’t matter to me as long as I get paid”
What took you so long, Pro Sports, like Hollywood, gave up on Decency and Morality over 30 years ago.
If there isn’t already- there should be a
#Defunbdmajorleaguesports
it would need to be a massive collective effort to have any effect- major league sports seem resolved to lose a significant portion of conservative viewers, and apparently are ok with some empty seats in the stands, as long as they can keep up their ignorant PC crap-
However, there are enough liberals out there who will continue to support them, to keep the teams going- sadly-
Years ago though J.C. Penney began running ads supporting the gay agenda- people all across the nation boycotted them in a massive effort- and it worked- same thing happened when Ford motor company ran ads supporting gay agenda- Both those companies suffered massive financial loss
But i suspect even a number of liberals during those years opposed what the companies did- but that was a much different time- too many people today support Anti-Americanism, the gay agenda, illegal immigrants, etc- for a boycott to do much good- Maybe I’m wrong- hopefully i am wrong- but i dunno-
We needed the tea party to be a strong national organization to unite millions and millions of folks for just such times as this- where enough people could boycott major league sports- to send a powerful enough message that ‘nope- not gonna put up with this Anti=-Americanism in sports”
This is where the Tea Party could have been really quite effective- if enough members pledged to stand up against the political bullying of the left-
Instead, the left are the ones that pull off massive boycotts, and get the right to cave in nearly every time- Remember when they boycotted NC (I think it was) because they wouldn’t allow pedo men to use girl’s bathrooms? NC caved- The loss of money from the boycott became too much for NC- so he caved- Sold out-
I watched a little sportscenter on ESPN. The names were all like “Equality”, “Justice”, “Black Lives Matter”. Up to them to do what they want but apparently they decided that they are fine with alienating 50% of their audience because they still have 50% left. It is similar calculation made by Nike by signing Colin Kaepernick as their advertising spokesman.
Clean your brain’s hard drives. There might be viruses.
I miss Pro sports but FBLM.
“Where did this Divine gratitude disappear to?”
When you’re in asymmetric war with marxists, mohammedans, morons everything is fair game for destruction. WATCH.
and maoists and any other anti-truth, anti-freedom, anti-individual, anti-life collectives.
BLM’s mission says to end the nuclear family. That is against God’s teachings in the Bible.
+++++
Thank you for that. Destroying the nuclear family is a core value of the Marxist/Communist BLM.
What is dismaying with this thread is how little Freepers actually understand what is going on here. BLM wants to destroy the Constitution and reformulate our country according to Marxist principles. They could care less about black lives. Look at how many have been sacrificed in support of their cause in the last 60 days.
Based on the responses to this thread it appears to me that most Freepers have not a clue about this. They wisely see the idiotic support of the professional sports leagues. They see the rioting, the death and destruction being led by BLM.
But they are focused on the tactics of the Marxist BLM not the strategy.
Time to wake up Freepers.
