Nashville Police said a noose was found at the construction site of the Tennessee Titans' new stadium, according to ESPN.

The stadium is scheduled to open for the 2027 season, but work has reportedly been halted for an investigation.

"This week, a racist and hateful symbol was discovered on our site. There is no place for hate or racism in our workplace," the Tennessee Builders Alliance, which is leading the construction, said in a statement. "We reported the incident to law enforcement, suspended work and launched an investigation."

Good thing an “All lives matter” sign wasn’t found. The entire state would’ve shut down from liberal constipation.

99.9999% of “noose” cases are hoaxes.

To paraphrase Freud, sometimes a noose is just a noose.

From Wikipedia, "A noose is a loop at the end of a rope in which the knot tightens under load and can be loosened without untying the knot. The knot can be used to secure a rope to a post, pole, or animal but only where the end is in a position that the loop can be passed over."

Now if it is not just construction debris, and someone had left it there to make a statement, whose to say what the motive was, and is it defensible under the 1st Amendment; like so many other offensive things that agitators on the Left do to intimidate us.

To out it another way, who is the injured party? And what is the crime?

Because it was probably just a running bowline, or some other quick little slipknot someone threw together as a tagline, or to run a toolbag up to a higher deck.

But to some people, any rope with a loop in it is oppression and intimidation, for which the only remedy is severe monetary compensation.

First it probably wasn’t a “noose”.

Sexond its hardly a racist symbol. People of all colors all over the world have been killed by hanging.

According to liberals, the making of any knot, using any material, should be outlawed, even neckties.

Was Jussie Smollett available for comment? Who smelt it, dealt it. Look for the union label on this one.

Rope found at Kaiser facility in Gilroy was not noose, police say
By KTVU StaffPublished March 10, 2023 1:05pm PSTGilroyKTVU FOX 2

GILROY, Calif. - Authorities investigating the discovery of a rope resembling a noose at a Kaiser facility in Gilroy said it was not intended to be a symbol of hate, but was climbing equipment, police said.

The rope was found on the morning of Feb. 27, hanging in a tree in the parking lot of the Kaiser Medical Offices on Arroyo Circle.

Kaiser Permanente originally called the rope a noose and said it was investigating the incident as a hate crime.

The Gilroy Police Department also initiated its own investigation, including the review of surveillance footage, and police determined there wasn’t any ill intent.

“Instead, surveillance video shows the rope was used by an individual to propel himself up the tree to cut down normally out-of-reach branches and leaves,” the police department said. “The rope was inadvertently left on the tree after being used as a climbing mechanism.”. . .

An Allentown City Hall employee was charged with planting a noose at their desk in January, according to police.

LaTarsha Brown is charged with tampering with or fabricating physical evidence and false reports to law enforcement, Allentown Chief of Police Charles Roca said Monday.

“Today, we’re even more surprised to learn that it was likely fabricated by the employee herself,” Allentown Mayor Matt Tuerk, a Democrat, said.

The Allentown mayor believes the incident has helped bring the conversation over inclusion to the forefront at City Hall. . .

The new stadium is too tainted by this noose to go on. Better tear it down and go elsewhere.

What should outrage people is the cost of the stadium and that the taxpayers are paying for most it and the owners are paying $840 million out of $2.2 BILLION!!
