True, but it trains ignorant guilt-ridden Whites that they must be prepared for the continued destruction of cultural symbols of our country.

Washington DC is rapidly becoming Zimbabwe on the Potomac.

Super blacks play football but ordinary blacks won’t spend the money to buy tickets.

Disband the NFL. That’ll save lives.

I think there were at least two versions of the Senators. One of them moved to Minnesota and became the Twins. The Rangers may have been the second (expansion) edition that was established after the first one left.

Who cares? The Negro Football League (NFL) will be gone in five years.

I've been saying this to my football brethren for many moons now since the movement.

The NFL will never be what it once was. It is a double edged sword. We don't deserve it, but they do!

I'll miss it from time to time, but then all I have to do is remind myself of the Black Lives Matter lie and whose side I'm on.

Yhey are fighting to change the name of Washington’s football team because they want everyone to see their liberal power.

They want organizations and people to fear them so that they can take money from them.

It’s about money

. Like Tony Montana sez, "First ju get de money

den ju get de power

den ju get de women"

The NFL is a giant TV commercial masquerading as a sports league. Once you understand that, it’s easy to walk away from it.

Yes that’s correct. There were two Washington Senators franchises.

The original Washington Senators moved to Minnesota for the 1961 season, and became the Minnesota Twins. The American League then added an expansion team in Washington, starting play in 1961, which kept the Senators name.

Then the expansion Washington Senators moved to Texas for the 1972 season.

This author, like most others, buys into the notion that Floyd was “murdered.” He and others don’t even bother to couch their assertions as “alleged.” But Floyd was not murdered. At best, the officers were negligent, but they did not intend to kill Floyd. They actually were trying to help him and were waiting for EMS to arrive.

The family lawyer knows with certainty the cops will never be convicted and is rushing the civil suit before the acquittals

The black lawyer scum is a cancer that needs to be surgically removed

No, but it will encourage money pouring into Black Lives Matter. And that’s the whole purpose of BLM’s existence.

Pretty much.

I about lost it yesterday with regards to this. I was listening to Sirius XM's The Beatles Channel while driving around for early morning errands. They had on a guest host in Ringo Starr, who was celebrating his 80th birthday.

Ringo had planned several guests, and they were working for four charity groups. The first one he named was a group dealing with clean water projects for certain parts of the world. The second one he named was for a education group. Then he named the third "charity": BLM. I immediately turned off the channel and didn't return for the rest of the time I was driving. Ugh.

And don’t forget the “black national anthem.” It’s a notion I hate with every fiber of my being. As a result, I will never watch an NFL game again. Not that the NFL cares what I do, but I care about my own conscience.

Agree. I think this is going to be a deal breaker for even the most forgiving among us.

In case anyone is interested, the red skin referred to by the settlers was red body paint. Clay, berries & other.

Tearing down statues and monuments won't save any black lives either, but that's not the point.

If this were really about "saving black lives", BLMers would concern themselves with fighting gang activity and other criminal violence in black communities, not with renaming sports teams, tearing down monuments, or boycotting brand name food products. However, to do so would be to admit that their own communities rather than "the man" is the source of most of their misfortune.

Funny thing is, is they aren't even cycling through all the African national anthems, since those are the only real "black" national anthems. The "Lift Every Voice and Sing" song is full of Christian references, so I'm not really sure how Dems support it...?
