Liberal Parent Trying To Figure Out How To Cheer For His Son Brandon

ST. LOUIS, MO—Local liberal Joe Bailey has for years enjoyed cheering on his son Brandon at his Little League soccer games, but lately that has proven difficult, since his cheering typically involves shouting the insurrectionist chant "Let's Go Brandon" from the stands.

"I try to be so careful, but every so often in the excitement, I let slip a ‘Let’s go Brandon!’" said Bailey. "Then all the parents join in chanting, the game devolves into fits of laughter, and all the Trump supporters are trying to give me a high-five. It’s horrible!"

According to sources, Mr. Bailey has thought about changing his son's name to something like "Bandleigh" or "Braidlynio" to make things a bit easier.

"Woooo!" said Bailey as his son made a great play, trying desperately to avoid using the dreaded phrase. "Let's go... bud! Well played! Positive reinforcement!"

Just then, Brandon scored a goal, causing his dad to jump to his feet and involuntarily scream "LET'S GO BRANDON!", causing the entire crowd to join in.

Joe Bailey is now on 12 FBI watch lists.

Look at all the problems NBC reporter Kelli Stavast has created! I grant her not guilty status though.

I’ve talked to her at Indianapolis.
She’s actually a very nice person.
I suspect the director was screaming into her earpiece what to say.

"...Joe Bailey is now on 12 FBI watch lists..."

ROTFLMAO!

She is very not guilty. But I'll bet dollars to donuts she doesn't like people like us, but...I guess one can never tell.

That was kind of what I was thinking. On the other hand, I think it is hard for people to be immersed in people like those at ESPN and not have it rub off on you.

Yeah I think she was put in a no win situation. She followed her director and here we are.

She’s at NBC, not that it’s any different.

The big question is, will she vote for Brandon in the next election (if he makes it)?

A true liberal wouldn’t keep score after Brandon scores. In fact, they don’t really think competitive sports is a good thing because that creates winners and losers.

Well they wouldn’t even have a child if they were true to the cause.

She was actually a terrific Indy car pit lane announcer.

I heard the Bee editor said since he lost his account at Twitter and Facebook HITS were down. THAT was worth the hit, and the look at... the clever way the piece was written.

They’re still very active on Instagram, and while you would think the comment section would be a hate-fest, it’s always packed with conservatives LOLing and making fun of liberals.

This may be the Babylon Bee, but you can’t tell me there aren’t a plethora of liberal parents across the fruited plain who aren’t faced with this vexing situation…
