NOTRE DAME - After hundreds of protests broke out across the country over the case of Eric Garner, the Notre Dame women's basketball team joined in the effort.

At Saturday's game against Michigan the team wore shirts that read "I Can't Breathe". The phrase comes from the last thing Garner said before he died.

According to our partners at the South Bend Tribune:

A Notre Dame spokesperson said the decision to wear the shirts was driven by the players, but that the coaches and administration supported the move.

Racist fact-hating idiots. Their parents should yank their support.

What a piss poor nation we have become.

ND has supported hussein since day one. You’d think the parents and their checkbook would have bought a clue by now.

I wonder if Notre Dame still accepts Christians?

They certainly seem to have other priorities.

For the most part, major sports teams and events were all about the game and only the game. Our society has gone full retard. Those days are over.

If you can’t breathe, you should pull up your pants, stop committing crimes, and cease resisting arrest.

The phrase comes from the last thing Garner said before he died.

The last thing? How can they be sure? Garner died of cardiac arrest in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.

I’d be impressed if they were wearing, “Don’t Call A Cop When You’re Being Raped or Mugged” T-shirts.

“I can't think” is more accurate.

911 should be called whenever someone sees someone wearing those shirts.

A better shirt would have been, “I can’t get a job!”

Pray America is waking

NO>>that would be a crime, don’t call 911. A false report can get you in jail, or fined, etc.
