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.
They need to move the hell back to LA.
I know back in October some of these thugs were demonstrating by Busch during the playoffs, and several fans were yelling back "Darrell!!... Darrell!...Darrell!"
Of course this is the same team that picked Michael Sam in the draft.
Growing up in northern California, I started hating the Rams at an early age. This is another reason why hating the Rams is a good thing.
So why are they not sanctioned for this? What if a player made this gesture after making a goal, what then?
For some reason I seem to recall a thing that is done to get high with Swisher Sweets? Something about adding a marijuana joint or marijuana to Swisher Sweet Cigars...Anyone know about this?
“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.”
The Rams are also strident backers of restricting gun ownership.
I have heard of the BC Lions. I guess they are the PC Rams.
Ah, what a show! Demonstrating the intelligence of an emotional argument in support of a lie...
/s
Professional football players embrace gangbangers, thugs, looters, and rioters. I can do without football.
I wish I still attended professional Football games so I could stop.
I actually stopped all interest when it was transformed into 'Thugball" played mostly by illiterate college graduates, thirty or so years ago.
The one unasked and unanswered question is...
Did all three of the non-black players join the mindless mau mau gesture?
Ferguson has become a litmus test. At this point, anyone whinging on about “hands up” or how the grand jury should have indicted the polcie officer is marked as an idiot in my book. I now have another means to check people for sanity.
You've got to remember that the average professional football player IQ now hovers around 55...
... and dropping...
Hands up, don't loot!
And demand their money back, too.
Just heard only 5 players did this. If that is all, the story might be overplayed some. 5 out of a squad of around 50.
