New Orleans Saints launch aggressive new social justice campaign

The New Orleans Saints are looking to set themselves apart from the run-of-the-mill social justice message of Black Lives Matter. The team is launching a #SayHerName campaign that focuses on black women in specific. The idea is that black women who are victims of police violence or injustice, in general, are not given the attention that is given to black males who have run-ins with law enforcement.

Not one more dime of taxpayer money to fund professional sports.

Were the chanting, “Hope the B_tch Dies”?

“””She is collateral damage of inappropriate use of a no-knock warrant and the incompetence of the officers serving that warrant.”””””””””””””””””

Is that the CNN take on it?

Will any of them remember Miriam Carey?

“”Minnesota Vikings boat party scandal””””””

I remember when that happened. One of the highly educated genius Vikings players said he didn’t think it was a crime because they were out in the international waters of Lake Minnetonka.

The ONE example they push, Breonna Taylor, was NOT shot by police for her color or gender. They didn’t even see her and were just emptying their weapons into the house. She is collateral damage of inappropriate use of a no-knock warrant and the incompetence of the officers serving that warrant.

I'm not sure even that is true. According to this guy who appears to have done extensive research on this and is a former cop. Not only was it NOT(the press is lying) a 'no knock warrant' but her name, car and abode was listed on the warrant.

Check him out.

All of these black on white murders were in the month of August alone.

If roles were reversed in any one of these murders, it would be a lead story with wall to wall, 24-7 coverage on every news channel.

I randomly looked up two of the victims (Joe and Jossline Roland). This couple had 5 kids, and were simply trying to buy a used car when this happened:

Jossline Roland, 40, and her husband Joe Roland, 39, were fatally shot on Aug. 14 after responding to an online ad for a used car.

The pair had gone to the Southlands Mall to buy a 2017 Toyota Rav4 they had seen on the Letgo app by a man named James Worthy. However, upon arrival, the couple met 18-year-old Kyree Brown, who told them he had accidentally brought the wrong vehicle title, the Denver Post and CBS reported at the time.

The car had been stolen a few days earlier, according to police, and Brown allegedly convinced the couple to follow him to his apartment, according to an arrest affidavit. That's when he allegedly robbed the couple at gunpoint and fired at them when their vehicle began to move forward, he allegedly told police.

Try to imagine if this were a white thug who murdered a black couple with 5 kids. Aurora, Colorado would be in flames with the media telling us all about the "largely peaceful protests".

The most insidious power the media has, is the the power to ignore.

Before this only Green Bay had a more enthusiastic local fan base. It endured the years of being ‘the Aint’s’ and Katrina. This is now no more. Today is the Saints opener and I could care less, I don't even know who they are playing.. Drew Breese is a true fool. I knew he was big on ‘gun control’ but this crap is going to be suicide for the Saints.

[robowombat]

I understood Ms. Taylors live in boy friend fired on the police first. They retreated and more lead (s lot) flew. No knock obviously set off a drug dealer who most likely thought it was a stickup by other mopes.

Sounds great.

Get me the list of women beaten or abused by NFL players.

Bonus points if it was a Saint !

New Orleans Saints. Hmmm... isn’t that a softball team?

“... people pay good money to watch them kneel and chant. Idiots”

I presume you mean the people who watch them are the idiots? Because I would agree with that.

“Fans of the NfL are dedicated, loyal ,and rabidly fanatical.”

And complete morons.

[sport]

I must agree.
