Perhaps someone realized that food stamps can’t be used to buy game tickets.


Maybe they are able to buy a nose bleed seat by selling their Obamaphone...

The NFL is nothing but a bunch of thugs, racists, low lifes, criminals and druggies. No, thanks. I can live just fine without pro football.

Along with id, make sure he didnt just buy skittles. Because that can and will be used against you. Never shoot someone (even if you fear for your life) if they just picked up a bag of fresh skittles.

Their corporate endorsements have clauses. Their agents said don’t be fools.

it's time to stop watching

The NFL has got to have a code of conduct for players. If they want to save the sport, they'll have to stop recruiting thugs and murderers, and when they get there things like these two inciting riot has got to mean an end to careers. Otherwise, between the injury problems (think lawsuits) and the disgust of decent people, the NFL's going to go into decline.

I heard someone on TV say last night that Michael Vick was put in jail for killing dogs and Zimmerman walks free for killing a teenager. he then said that was evidence of racism in America. What a foolish comparison.

Yes that was Michael Vick's brother that "tweeted" that

The NFL can sell itself to blacks, hispanics, women and gays.

The NFL PAC gave 100% of its donations to Democrats.

and the NFL blocked Rush from owning a team because he would be too polarizing.

“I wonder how all those racist athletes felt when O.J. Simpson was found innocent.”

O.J. was not found innocent. He was found “Not Guilty,” which means, in the eyes of the jury, the prosecution did not prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt.

Although, with that particular L.A. jury, it would have been a near impossible task to do so.

This is such an insightful comment it bears repeating....

Translation: "My "Creepy Ass Cracker" agent called to tell me that I just endangered that fat Contract he negotiated and I needed to do some serious CYAs and Mea Culpas or the money train was gonna get derailed and I be out of a job."

Sure would be interesting to see a picture of Mr. Cruz's agent....FREEPER HINT

That gave me pause1 Had to check. I guess there are/were more than one Willie Horton.

Yes... This Willie Horton (325 lifetime home runs), not Michael Dukakis's resume enhancement (two consecutive life terms plus 85 years)...

Twitter saw a flood of passionate comments about the verdict.

Leave to ABC to spin the call for murder and genocide into an understandable "passionate" response. The occupation media is still the enabler of great evil.

As I remember it Willie Horton was jailed and paid his debt to society. He turned out to be a real man.

Which Willie Horton listed here are you referring too? Neither one fits your recollection...

“Pro football is nothing but a gang of steer thugs. It’s time to stop watching. Not that I watch—but why support this America-bashing sport?”

Then you do the libs jobs for them. Best thing to do about this? Quietly boycott the companies that endorse him. No fanfare, no threats. Once they start losing money, they will know what happened and drop him.

“If a manager tells you to sacrifice yourself to move runners up, you do it or you sit on the bench or go play triple A ball.”

Good point. Also there’s a reason you don’t have fruity celebratory dancing/self congratulatory chest pounding when a diving catch is made or a pick-off move works, or a base is stolen, or a run is pushed in by a walk.

Are you thinking of Gates Brown, iirc? There was a Tigers centerfielder who got out of prison and then made the majors—Brown? Might have played for the ChiSox, too. Or someone else? I’m a National League fan, so I’m a bit fuzzy on it.
