Stupid is as stupid does.

Any American who loves his country ought to be ashamed to watch these a$$holes demonstrating against it. You couldn’t pay me enough to do so. Filthy pigs!
The stadium should post the murder rates of black on blacks versus cops on black, and blacks on cops.
It should remain there during the entire game play.
The Wireless Chargers may be able to move yet.. the Rambling Rams are bad and likely to get badder.. I wonder what some of the old pros would have to say about this assault on one more American icon, pro football, I have a pretty good idea tho. ;-)
