The real message is getting lost in White House's war on NFL [puke alert]
Yahoo Sports ^ | Jun 5, 2018 | Terez Paylor

Posted on 06/06/2018 8:56:04 AM PDT by ETL

In the minutes and hours after President Donald Trump’s latest uppercut to the National Football League and its players, a handful of players could no longer take it.

Among them was Carolina Panthers receiver Torrey Smith, whose frustration poured out of him as he typed up a Twitter response to a White House statement Monday night in which President Donald Trump condemned the Philadelphia Eagles and rescinded their invite to visit him in Washington, D.C.

“So many lies,” Smith began, while quote-tweeting the President’s statement.

Sure, Smith’s annoyance was aimed at Trump, who continues to use the NFL and its players as a piñata to rally his base. But it was also rooted in Smith’s belief — which he shares with many players — that the ongoing assertion that players who protest during the anthem are un-American and anti-military is not only factually incorrect, but really unfair.

"the ongoing assertion that players who protest during the anthem are un-American and anti-military is not only factually incorrect, but really unfair."

All the protesting players stand firmly behind Kaepernick, who leads the movement. Kaepernick is a cop-killers-supporting communist. I haven't seen or heard any of them disassociating themselves from him and the movement.

Kaepernick social media posts laud Black Lives Matter, Black Panthers,...

'History!' Kaepernick wrote on Instagram Oct. 15 [2015], when he marked 50 years since the Black Panther Party was founded.

Kaepernick has posted 170 photos or videos on his Instagram account in the four years since he created it. Most of his first 128 posts were pics of him in football gear, publicity photos or shots taken with friends.

But 31 of his last 42 posts have strong social justice connotations, often featuring quotes from radical Nation of Islam leader [communist] Malcolm X, Black Panthers founder Huey Newton and cop killer Assata Shakur [aka, communist-revolutionary JoAnne Chesimard]

During a Sunday news conference about the flag flap, Kaepernick dressed in a black hat with a large, white “X” and a T-shirt that featured photos of Cuban despot Fidel Castro and Malcolm X.”

“With the 49ers visiting the Dolphins this week, San Francisco’s Colin Kaepernick engaged in a conference call with members of the South Florida media. However, one reporter wanted to discuss something that happened in August, when Kaepernick wore a shirt that appeared to show support for Fidel Castro, which led to a tense exchange.

The shirt depicted scenes from a 1960 meeting between Castro and Malcolm X, and it bore the phrase, “Like minds think alike.” Kaepernick wore it to a news conference after the 49ers’ third preseason game, which was when his refusal to stand during the national anthem became a major national story.”

"On May 1st, May Day [1969], the day of the gigantic Free Huey [Newton] rally, two of Alioto's top executioners vamped on the brothers from the Brown Community who were attending to their own affairs. These brothers, who are endowed with the revolutionary spirit of the Black Panther Party defended themselves from the racist pig gestapo [the police].

Pig Joseph Brodnik received his just reward with a big hole in the chest. Pig Paul McGoran got his in the mouth which was not quite enough to off him.

The revolutionary brothers escaped the huge swarm of pigs with dogs, mace, tanks and helicopters, proving once again that "the spirit of the people is greater than the man's technology."

To these brothers the revolutionary people of racist America want to say, by your revolutionary deed you are heroes, and that you are always welcome to our camp."

"Huey Percy Newton (February 17, 1942 – August 22, 1989) was an African-American political activist and revolutionary who, along with Bobby Seale, co-founded the Black Panther Party in 1966. He continued to pursue an education, eventually earning a Ph.D. in social philosophy.[1][2] In 1989 he was shot and killed in Oakland, California. ..."

"As a student at Merritt College in Oakland, Newton became involved in politics in the Bay Area. He joined the Afro-American Association (AAA), became a prominent member of Phi Beta Sigma fraternity, Beta Tau chapter; and played a role in getting the first African-American history course adopted as part of the college's curriculum.

He read the works of Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin, Frantz Fanon, Malcolm X, Mao Zedong, Émile Durkheim, and Che Guevara.

During his time at Merritt College, he met Bobby Seale, and the two organized the Black Panther Party for Self Defense in October 1966.[3]"

BS! The real message is, you stand at attention with respect to the flag when the anthem is played. Take your protests somewhere else. That is the real messsage and it is coming through loud and clear.

The NFL has a rule against “...baiting or taunting acts or words that engender ill will between teams.”

Too bad that rule doesn’t apply for acts or words that engender ill will between the league and it’s customer base.

Hopefully Mr. Smith and other players will continue the protest—and rub Goodell’s nose in it.

The NFL season is about 90 days away. I would imagine that ticket sales are lagging at the same rate as in 2017, and that few of the pre-season games will have more than a quarter of the stadiums full.

Fan memorabilia isn’t selling well, and the trend will continue. I would suggest that salaries will be mostly stalled or lessen over the next twelve months.

Meet the [35] Police Officers Murdered by the Black Panthers [and BP offshoot Black Liberation Army]

The Professional Gunfighter
Posted in: News, Politics, Terrorism

Below are the names and photos of 35 Police Officers who were murdered by the Black Panthers and the subsequent Black Liberation Army in the 60s, 70s and 80s [click link for list and details].

The Black Liberation Army was an organization that grew out of the Black Panther Party, composed of former Black Panther Party members, operating from about 1971-1980. Another two police officers on the list were murdered by the Weather Underground, a domestic terrorist group with ties to the Black Liberation Army.

Despite this readily available information, today the internet was full of articles criticizing those who were upset by Beyonce’s Super Bowl Halftime performance, and questioning how anyone could be upset over a woman “affirming her blackness.” Their analysis couldn’t have been more off.

We have no issues with someone “affirming their blackness” or any other identity they want to affirm. We do take issue when people pay homage to a group that used terrorism and violence to promote racism and revolutionary socialism – a group that murdered dozens of police officers in cold blood.

As you scroll through the list of officers below, look at their photos and read their stories. Among these officers are black men and white men. Rookies and veterans from across the country. Most were killed in unprovoked attacks and ambushes. They all left behind families….

Perhaps Beyonce, someone from the NFL, and someone representing CBS, could read through this list and tell us if they still stand by their decision to honor the Black Panthers during the Super Bowl. Then perhaps they could explain their answers to the surviving wives and children of these fallen officers. ...”

The real message from the players comes from what they do on their own time with their own money. Which players have dedicated even a few minutes or dollars over the offseason for these issues they “care deeply about”. They had plenty of time in the offseason. Most have a good bit of money. My guess is they spent more effort on their employer’s time than over the offseason. So 30-45 minutes over the calendar year and none of their own money for these “very important issues”.

The message for me is that they don’t really care.

"the ongoing assertion that players who protest during the anthem are un-American and anti-military is not only factually incorrect, but really unfair."

What's unfair (to Americans as a whole) is that some of our citizens are so disrespectful, they will show disloyalty to the country during our national anthem as a form of protest. This should be done after the anthem or flag ceremony - in fact ANY OTHER TIME except during the anthem or against the flag.

There are certain lines of decency that should not be crossed. Defecating on your country's national anthem is too far - I will NEVER respect that as a form of protest. They have the right to be assholes, but not to be respected or for being an asshole.

Well it certainly is not unfair! If the players have a right to their voice then so do we!
But yes that Flag and Anthem honors those that have fought and died for the freedoms and liberty these people have. It honors all Americans that strive to make their Country the greatest on the planet. How then is disrespecting the anthem and the flag not anti-American and anti-military?

No one needs to tell me what is and is not factually incorrect.

When I see someone disrespecting the National Anthem and/or the flag, they are spitting in my face. And that includes the jackasses that start cheering before the anthem is finished being sung by some other disrespectful jackasses that thinks the anthem needs their personal touch.

No amount of bullShit rationalizing will ever change that perspective. You either respect the anthem and the flag or you do not.

NFL can take their dreadlocks, tattoos, on field celebrations as if they just saved the village from a rogue elephant and their multi-million dollar lifestyles and go to Hell.

You do not respect me, therefore I do not respect you. You and anyone who rationalizes, apologizes or sympathizes with you are scum of the first order.

Beneath contempt. Lower than whale crap in the Marianas Trench.

Why did the owners finally get enough backbone to make a "New Rule" for how players should act during the National Anthem? They are first and foremost businessmen who can read the handwriting on the wall. And WE THE PEOPLE have writ it LARGE...because of your bullShit, we are gone for good.

, it’s important to remember that the protesting players that have made it clear publicly — numerous times — that the anthem protests are only about police brutality and social inequality against people of color. That’s it. Nothing else.

Yeah, knuckleheads, it might be as important, or more important, for you to remember that the NFL had already lost about 10% of its TV audience from the 2015 season to early in the 2017 season BEFORE President Trump even began to comment about it early in the 2017 season.

The fans were already interpreting the protests on their own more than a year before Trump said a word.

“An Important Message to Those Who Protest During the National Anthem:

Some of you have said that you are not protesting the National Anthem or the flag of the United States of America or the United States military. They have said that the protests represent a response to unequal treatment by law enforcement and the justice system to black people.

OK, I can accept that. However, if that is what you are protesting, then it is not appropriate or productive to protest during the National Anthem. Your protests would be better placed in front of police stations and courthouses across the country.

Assuming that this is also obvious to you and the protest organizers, why are you not doing this?

Is it because you realize you would not get anywhere near the media coverage as you have by protesting on national television broadcasts before National Football League games? If that’s the case, then surely you know that the new policies enacted by the NFL for the coming 2018-2019 season will mean that there will be no televised protests associated with those broadcasts.

So, now what do you do? If you’re not inclined to protest in front of police stations and courthouses, then I would suggest actions that work directly to the benefit of the cause. I suggest that you finance the legal battles of as many unfairly arrested and prosecuted black people as you can afford to. Pool your money and make a difference.

This makes a great deal more sense than protesting during the National Anthem.”

Freeper savedbygrace wrote this today and it seems very appropriate.
