But, but, then the poor fellow would never would get to graduate, won’t be able to go to college, never get married, never raise a family, and be on the ‘probation to prison pipeline’. Have you no compassion? Isn’t this all a reaction to ‘Trump’ or something?
He yaps but at least he has something worth saying.
He showed several videos of the incident and a news site linked to it. I know you all want to see actual video of what happened so here it is.
I believe you neglected to mention the American flag carrier was white and the thug blindsider was a negro.
Yes it matters
Give him a one-way ticket to some African country.
That's as stupid as saying "the knockout game" involved two men.
And you’re a juvenile mind trolling for attention.
Okay, okay. Uncle! I give! Sheesh. I was just trying to have a little fun. I didn’t expect The Spanish Inquisition.
I suggest that you can have ‘fun’ without insulting people and calling those who object to your misuse of language ‘furbiecRATS’.
That’s elementary school level conversation.
Synopsis please so i don’t have to go to youtube on my phone
This video discusses a viral incident at a Portland, Oregon high school football game where a player from Jefferson High School (nicknamed the “Democrats”) physically attacked a Grant High School player as he ran onto the field carrying an American flag (0:00 - 2:30).
Key takeaways from the video:
The Incident: A player from Jefferson blindsided a Grant player during pregame festivities, causing a brief scrum (0:18 - 2:30).
The Game: Despite the pregame conflict, the game proceeded as scheduled, with Grant defeating Jefferson by a score of 35-14 (0:32 - 0:38).
Official Response: The Oregon School Activities Association (OSAA) confirmed the offending player was ejected from the game and stated that such behavior has no place in interscholastic sports (4:14 - 4:36).
School Context: The creator expresses strong disapproval of the incident, criticizing the school’s leadership and pointing to low academic proficiency statistics at Jefferson High School to argue for greater accountability (9:46 - 11:15).
Controversy: The video highlights a now-deleted social media statement from the Jefferson team, which attempted to provide context regarding alleged prior disrespect but drew significant online backlash (5:55 - 8:40).
Awww, you’re no fun anymore.
I have no interest in your sort of ‘fun’.
It was not a confrontation...one idiot completely blindsided a guy on the other team....tptb like to change the meaning of words just like we have “ scuffles” in France.
Thanks.
There it is. Thanks for playing along.
You bet your Texas Eagle feathers we are. ;~))
