I tried to watch some college FB over the weekend. It was just weird, not all teams playing, the uncertainty, it felt like watching a scrimmage.

I stumbled on to the NC game. They had BLM on their jersey. Nope. I turned to a different game. If either team has that vile BLM, I won’t watch, ‘eff them.

They sure are doing their best to destroy all sports, at all levels, aren’t they?

If a parent spends $60,000/year sending his child to one of those schools, believing that his child will receive a good “Catholic education”, that parent is a fool.

I'm done donating money to may alma mater. Forever.

The number of unarmed Blacks killed by cops is low, as are the number of people killed by animal attacks and lightning strikes. The number of Blacks killed by other Blacks isn't.

Black children drown in swimming pools at 10x the rate of whites. (Because public schools fail at everything, including teaching Blacks how to swim.)

Why not just stick with the traditional Hammer and Sickle?

Heck my (now formerly) Duke blue devils had the raised black fist on the back of their helmets. I immediately turned of the TV and moved on. Marxists are ruining everything.

Yes, and there’s a reason.

Destroy the ‘individuality’ and the ‘personal accomplishments’ of sports in favor of a ‘group accomplishment’.

As HILLIARY once said, “We must destroy this cult of individualism!”.......................

Insane.

The smallest minority in this world is the individual.
The church isn’t a building, it resides in every person.
