And Social Media claims another one.
So Smith will lose his job, but Tomlin will keep his . . . incredible.
I would wager ‘Smitty’ was on his fourth or fifth cold one when he posted his comment...
It’s instructive to note that the statement by the township manager — “The Cecil Township Board of Supervisors is deeply disturbed by the comments made by volunteer Chief Smith, and in no way, shape or form condone [sic] his comments” — does not “in no way, shape or form” indicate the Board’s disagreement with the volunteer Chief’s sentiment.
I would certainly agree that if using the n-word is unacceptable, hiding in the tunnel from our national anthem is just as unacceptable.
I don’t know the coach but I sure don’t feel much warmth towards anyone who took any action other than to say get out there and stand for our national anthem.
Why do people have to show solidarity and unity with those who attack our police and national anthem, but no one has to show Unity with any Trump supporters?
Tomlin will not see me watching his team. Done....
Smith is a racist fool but Tomlin is beyond contempt. Speaking of Pittsburgh, big Ben had been thinking of retirement and says he is so upset he can’t sleep. Dangerous to be an NFL quarterback if you are fatigued. Perhaps he should retire immediately. Then Rooney and Tomlin can hire Kaepernick and they can all kneel down together.
Free speech, free speech. Apparently it no longer matters if you are in uniform and on company time. Hypocrisy of the left. Again.
I’m fortunate in being retired, secure, and proficient with firearms, I don’t have to PC my speech, and bury the truth.
I’m sure Tomlin will defend the Chief, because after all he believes in the sanctity of free speech.
OMG!
That’s kind of like when the left calls someone Hitler or Nazi, there is no where to go after that.
He should have just called him an ignorant SOB.
More truth and less distraction.
Besides, I’m sure Tomlin is not really that “no good”, he’s probably still good for something. Heh.
I wonder if the leftists will now defend this guy’s behavior as a powerful platform for free speech.
My irritation has nothing to do with race. It has to do with respecting our flag, anthem and nation.
The NFL clowns are doing it now to hate on Trump.
They’re gonna lose.
That kind of language should be completely unacceptable and never used (unless you are a liberal referring to Ben Carson or Senator Scott, or one of those “house *****s” ruining the country)

I skimmed through the excerpt and the comments.
Safely assuming the fire chief is white.
Thus the brou-haha.
Now if he was a black guy. Well then.....
If he’s a chief, he’s wearing the wrong helmet. He’s wearing the helmet of a safety officer for Engine Company 29. So unless they have a different style of identification in Pennsylvania, then he is not a chief, but a fireman.

Rhymes with ‘gold digga’... I’m just saying.
