Kenosha, Wisconsin exploded in violence on Sunday evening when a black man named Jacob Blake was shot in the back seven times by a police officer after he refused an order to stop, and attempted to gain entry into a vehicle.
On Monday, the Green Bay Packers, headquartered roughly 150 miles away from Kenosha, issued a statement saying they were “shocked” by the video of the shooting. The team also, despite acknowledging that a full investigation has barely even begun, used the incident to blast “systemic racism” and “injustices against black people.”
“The Packers organization was shocked to see the video that showed police shooting Jacob Blake multiple times in the back,” the Packers stated. “We are hopeful Jacob makes a full recovery, and our thoughts are with his family.
“While we understand a full investigation of this terrible incident will take place, we are deeply troubled at what again has become a painful example of the significant challenges we face with respect to police brutality, systemic racism and injustices against Black people. We continue to call for meaningful dialogue to affect the needed change we all desire.”
Packers coach Matt LaFleur told reporters that he sees the shooting as a reminder to spread “awareness to everybody that Black lives matter.”

More systematic drug abuse and criminality!
So now NFL teams are going to comment on news events. Hope they comment on all of them, because if they fail to comment on just one news event, well time to boycott by those who were slighted!

The only “systemic racism” in the United States exists entirely within and under the auspices of Democrat-majority rule, in those states and localities that have totally abandoned any pretense of “bipartisan” governance.
The mask is off, these people are going for blood.
Grievous situation on the best of days, and there are no good days in the near future.
Systematic idiocy of elitist professional sports teams.
Or trying to pass a $20.00 you made on your color printer? Save a life. Don’t use funny money.
Mat (as in door) luhflower made a statement.
That’s funny.
No mention of resisting.
No mention of disobeying police orders.
No mention of his criminal past.
It’s more like 3%.
Resisting is stupid, and so is letting him go all the way to his car and only tugging at his shirt.
In a very tense situation like this, bureaucracies will circle the wagons. They have to deal with their political bosses as well, and everything will be done “by the book.” No one will speak out of turn and they will make sure every word they state is true. Because of this caution, they will be quite slow.
Systemic stoopidness abounds.
They're instigating unrest for financial desperation to get people to tune in because the NFL continues it's financial decline that started long before the race-baiting of Hillary Clinton and the Democrats who fear black Americans becoming woke to how the Communist Democrats have manipulated them for decades to their detriment.
These teams are beholden to the global broadcasters, signal carriers, and advertisers, many who oppose this country.
How about some commenting on the systemic rioting, destruction and looting.
Adios NFL
Vince Lombardi is spinning in his grave.
80% of season ticket holders declined to purchase this season. Now the Pack is going after the last 20% hold outs so no one will come to their games. Maybe BLM will ha ha ha.
Resisting arrest again.
