Brian Urlacher on Instagram: Brett Favre braver than NBA players
Chicago Sun Times ^ | Aug 27, 2020 | Patrick Finley

Writing on Instagram on Thursday, former Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher attempted to demean the NBA’s Wednesday night playoff boycott by unfavorably comparing it to a Packers legend’s performance.

Quarterback Brett Favre starred for the Packers on Dec. 23, 2003, beating the Raiders on “Monday Night Football” the day after his father, Irvin, died of a heart attack.

“Brett Favre played the MNF game the day his dad died, threw 4 TDs in the first half and was a legend for playing in the face of adversity,” wrote the author of the official 54Urlacher account on Instagram. “NBA players boycott the playoffs because a dude reaching for a knife, wanted on [a] felony sexual assault warrant, was shot by police.”

NBA players did not play in Wednesday night’s postseason games to protest the shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man, in the back by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Blake, who survived, is an Evanston Township High School alum.

People have about had enough of knuckling under to this #BLM horseshit, and are starting to speak out.

#4 is still and always will be on the Ring of Honor at Lambeau Field. We are proud Packer Shareholders along with 317,000 others.

attempted to demean the NBA’s Wednesday night playoff boycott. . .

Gosh, I wonder which side this guy is on. Tell me, sports mouthpiece, what does "attempted to demean" mean? You demean someone or you don't, right? It means to describe something or someone as small, insignificant, or lame. It's not hard to do.

Oh, I get it, it means Bret made the NBA players-who-are-too-good-to-play look like idiots--and you're on the side of the idiots. Same set of facts. You just wave the "attempted to" flag (favorite of lazy Leftists), as if to indicate that the "attempt" failed.

The attempt succeeded. He made them--and you--look like idiots.

TD and extra point.

BLM seems to want a new order where blacks can commit violent crimes without any interference from police. And if they don't get what they're demanding, then they'll commit even more violent crimes.

It's called insurrection, and it's been done many times in history. It's also had to be put down many times in the past, either that, or they lose their society to lawlessness and mob rule.

I never thought I'd see the day that our politicians and our law enforcement would be cowed into bowing down to such obviously evil tactics, and all because they hate a president.

We need a #CancelSports web site with millions of followqers and everyone calling their provider. If 1,000,000 of us act, we will get a response.

You are correct, and I will add, I think that many black criminals are now operating under the belief that they have impunity to do what they want because the know police are terrified of having to utilize deadly force against them because of the BLM crap. It seems clear to me that the criminal in Kenosha felt totally bullet proof because he didn’t believe the police would do any more than just try to wrestle with him. And to a certain extent...I think police are in fact terrified. Every encounter with a black man is now video recorded by multiple people. Those videos are being edited to fit a narrative. It is frightening. When watching these reports of the riots...every single one of the rioters is recording every moment. Just like the other night...when the first turd got shot by Rittenhouse...everyone (but the one guy who helped him) were recording the guy dying. It’s sad.

The ratings for all these sports teams have been in the tank. The people are increasingly watching the Republican convention. The poor little ball players know they can’t compete and their ratings will be even worse. Especially tonite when Trump accepts his nomination. That’s the real reason for the shutdown.

Funny they are going to play again this weekend.

At least there are some people who recognize that this felon admitted to having a knife.

Bingo! Nothing like racist sports leagues and television carriers playing black Americans for fools pretending this is about concern for them when it's about the leagues and carriers hemorrhaging money and losing viewers to the Republican National Convention this week.

I wasn't a Bears fan but I loved watching Brian Urlacher play linebacker. If the NFL was made up of men like Urlacher it would be an awesome sport. Unfortunately it is full of morons who think fans want to be browbeat and called racists by spoiled millionaires.

Facts are the absolute last thing the left wants people to focus on, that’s for sure.

Thanks to the NBA, MLB and NHL for giving people time away from sports to watch the RNC DAY 4.
