ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI) – The St. Louis Rams took the field at the Edward Jones Dome in a show of support for the Ferguson protesters. Rams players including Stedman Bailey, Jared Cook, Chris Givens and receivers Tavon Austin and Kenny Britt took to the field with their hands up. The “hands up, don’t shoot” sign has been a hallmark of protesters since the August 9th shooting.
The St. Louis Rams are playing the Oakland Raiders. The hometown team is leading 44-0 in the 4th quarter. The gesture made another appearance after a touchdown in the first quarter.
First they reject Rush. Then they draft a queer. Now they back a low-life thug. The Rams are quickly becoming my least favorite team.
And destroying people's businesses, causing others to be unemployed. And wrecking a city.
I'm so done with the NFL. Just can't enjoy it anymore.
Suggest everyone take only 9 minutes of their time and watch this movie. . . better than football and has an ending that is “out of this world.”

People who get shot after robbing a liquor store.
Has/will the NFL take action?
Evidently not. The MSM controls the low information pop-culture messaging. That's all half (probably more) of the country knows. Education is the key. We'll keep doing what we can to get the truth out.
As I'm posting this, I just noticed on Yahoo that 'Trending Now' is 1. Gracie Gold ? 2. Jennifer Aston 3. Idina Menzel ? 4. Janis Joplin and 5. Tina Fey. Do people really look these people up or are they just suggestions by the yahoo staff? May God help us all. .
I guess so, but Michael Brown didn’t seem to have their work ethic.
If only The Gentle Giant™ had put his hands up, he wouldn’t have been shot. Ironic, isn’t it. Now, let’s discuss the irony of NFL players protesting an LEO.

I hope the fans booed them. Idiots.
And why would their hands need to be up?
Oh yea, I read the FBI crime statistics...
St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke — Democrat

Kroenke gave $5,000 to one Missouri Democrat: Sen. Claire McCaskill
NOT holding breath for a fine from the NFL such as this:
RYAN CLARK PAYS TO HONOR SEAN TAYLOR
Of the many uniform-related fines the league has levied, this was one of the cruelest. One year after the murder of his former Washington Redskins teammate and friend Sean Taylor, Pittsburgh Steelers safety Ryan Clark was fined $5,000 for wearing eye black with Taylor’s No. 21 etched into it.

What’s next then for the Rams? Are they going to be giving away St. Michael the Thug posters or t-shirts. Oh wait a minute the Brown family got the memorial thug t-shirt market cornered already. I don’t think Ram management would want Miss McSpadden and the rest of the Brown clan family to come into the Jones Dome and start throwing down on the crowd.
Repeat the lie over and over again until it becomes truth. Just like slavery & civil rights and Republicans- Republicans fought for the black man until Democrats lied and said they didn’t.
We continue to pay for that lie since Johnson.
You just said a mouthful. I have probably watched two full games, in total this season. I turn it on and I see trayvon chasing mike brown around the field. Leave it for the ghetto, I have no use for football anymore.
