Cardinals Fans Get Ugly In Clash With Ferguson Protesters
Kinja's Deadspin ^ | October 6, 2014 | Tom Ley

This guy right here, the one with "I am Darren Wilson" taped onto the back of his Cardinals jersey—an homage to the Ferguson, Mo., police officer who shot an unarmed teenager named Mike Brown to death in August—was at the Cardinals game last night. He, along with many other Cardinals fans, clashed with a small group of protesters who want to see Wilson prosecuted. The guy in the Darren Wilson jersey wasn't even the worst part.

Here is a video of some of the protest from last night, via Argus Streaming News. It's rather long, so I'll point out some of the egregious cases of Cardinals fans being sh**ty below.

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

· We start off with a bang. At about the 22-second mark, an old white Cardinals fan begins telling the protesters—all of whom appear to be black—that they need to get jobs. He looks right in the camera, proudly, and says, "That's right! If they'd be working, we wouldn't have this problem!"

· At about the 1:30 mark, the crowd of Cardinals fans begin drowning out the protesters' chants with a "Let's go Cardinals!" chant. Well, they could be saying worse things...

· At the 2:40 mark, they start saying much worse things. The "Let's go Cardinals!" chant has turned into a "Let's go Darren!" chant. Cool....

I never understand the business of ratings being poor if the World Series doesn’t involve the Yankees, Red Sox, Dodgers, Braves, or certain other big market teams. Any real baseball fan will be interested and watch the World Series, no matter which teams are in it. Whether their favorite teams are in it or not.

To me, this talk indicates that lots of baseball fans are not very deeply interested. If they will only watch if the Yankees are in it, what does that say about them and the level of their interest in baseball?

So did any of these horrible whiteys loot or vandalize a store? burn down a building? Shoot at cops?

Well then, if not, they behaved way better than the mostly black ferguson protestors, end of story.

An I-70 series would be nice. Last time we had one, America had a real president. Maybe if we had another, it would be a good omen.

In today’s world, even a comment that just seems “racist” is much worse than rioting, looting, assault, strong-arm robbery or arson.

The backlash is starting?

If so, good. The pro Brown protestors are violent thug worshipping, mostly criminal scum. and they should have been called on it a long time ago.

Its good to see some people with the courage to stand up to their bullsh--.

To be honest, I do not believe that there can be a person like that in this situation.

Generations of blacks have been force fed “Hate Whitey” dogma. Most whites do not truly grasp hoe deeply that hate goes. My daughter was married to a black man. Her life became a series of planning sessions for where they could and could not go in the BLACK community because black women would screw with her constantly for example.

I think they will have to get their race war and lose it badly before the decent black people who already live as we all do are no longer shunned by their fellows. And their fellows realize that they are their problem.

White America accepted black America a long time ago. Many in Black America didn’t think that was enough. Until that change comes from within each of them they will continue to ostracize themselves.

People are getting more openly un-PC in confronting and pointing out the obvious with the urban culture. Comments at the source are funny.

Yep, sadly you are so right. free speech exercised (freedom of thought) is worse than committing real criminal acts. That sadly is where we are, and its only getting worse.

I would encourage comments at the source. I certainly added mine.

And that's the very essence of the business side of televising the World Series. The goal is garner the largest possible audience in the buying demographics. The passion of the fan for the love is baseball is inconsequential if the numbers aren't there to present to the advertisers. Like they say, it's nothing personal, it's just business. In fact, it's the spirit of free enterprise since baseball (or any other sport) exists in the mass media age as a show to acquaint as many consumers with the goods and services available in the marketplace.

All that said, the Royals are a compelling story. Even as a small market time, Fox may be able to sell that sufficiently as a drama to attract the casual fan.

To save this Republic will require a Leader to do the hard things that need to be done, like disenfranchising the parasite class and destroying the American marxist movement and its allies in the press by any means necessary.

That doesn’t get accomplished by a bunch of people yapping on the internet.

That gets accomplished by a strongman who takes things in hand and starts breaking heads.

Starting with the press, that gave up it’s right to freedom when they chose sides.

Bob Costas needs to boycott TV. That will solve his problem.

I left some comments at the site but they’re all pending approval (so doubt they’ll make it on, since we all know what left wing fascists, er I mean, liberals think of dissenting opinions)

Black Americans made great advances towards acting civilized in the mid 2oth century, until the CPUSA infiltrated them in the 60’s and turned them into an army to destroy the capitalist system.

Crush the CPUSA and black problem solves itself.

Pelosi gave these sleazebags a country where they wouldn’t have to work anymore. A country full of handouts and free stuff. However, she wanted them to learn to write poetry or learn to paint or play the guitar with all of their free time when they weren’t high or watching TV. I don’t think she really wanted their lazy asses out in the streets protesting all of the time. Or maybe she did.

It goes undiscussed cause its not PC but the reality is the behavior in ferguson—looting, rioting, burning was truly despicable on every level, and has done serious damage to most people’s image of black americans.

That country can be taken from them in an instant.

Class war is a two-way street

The real Right wing just needs to get their foot in the door of the WH.

And fix things so the left never gains control of any branch of FEDGOV ever again.
