Something, anything

A true American patriot

In the wake of Roger Goodell, Commissioner of the NFL, apologizing to players in lieu of Patrick Mahomes powerful video questioning the NFL on its policies toward protests against racism, Donald Trump decided to send a tweet Sunday night questioning whether or not the NFL would backtrack on its policy against kneeling.  Considering that Trump's approval numbers are plummeting and he's losing badly to Joe Biden, this is little more than Trump trying to find anything that will help him with his racist base and prop up his numbers at least a little.  He hopes that blaming the black folks for disrespecting the flag and our country will lead him to another victory come November.

Good luck with that--my guess is this fall we're going to see a whole hell of a lot more players than we did last time taking a knee.  And that many of them will be among the most high profile players in the league.  With approval for Black Lives Matter easily outdistancing Trump's approval for the job he's doing, it's hard to see that Trump's tweets this fall won't fall on mostly deaf ears and will only add fuel to the fire for those of us who would crawl over broken glass to send his ass back home this November.

But by all means, please proceed.

Fuck Donald Trump,

Not a Saint

Doesn't he have an agent or a publicist to check his public statements?
If there is any good that can come out of Drew Brees and his exceedingly insensitive and untimely comments on players taking a knee for the National Anthem, it's that maybe we can finally put an end to the tired trope that players doing such are being disrespectful of the flag or our troops.  Athletes taking a knee was never about the flag or our troops, and it was always about protesting police brutality.

Disrespecting the flag or our troops was never more than a right wing talking point so they could excuse police brutality and let their white privilege continue unabated.

This is...why



Do you ever wonder after events such as the Minneapolis police murdering George Floyd this week if Colin Kaepernick wants to run to his front window, throw it open, and scream to the world, "Fucking told you!"

The deadskins



This is the week that was in the National Fucked (up) League:

The Washington Redskins, the organization with the racist team name, were the only team to pick up one Reuben Foster, who had been released last week by the 49ers (about a year too late, truthfully) who has now been accused of domestic violence twice (in fairness, the first charges were dropped, though there's something not quite kosher about the dropping of the accusation).

And then, after having a second quarterback lost for the season due to injury, the Redskins declined to sign noted national anthem protester Colin Kaepernick as a backup because he doesn't fit into their system (which seems to be the go to answer for not signing Kaepernick among all teams in the NFL--amazing he guided a team to the Super Bowl considering how ill suited he is to NFL offensive systems, isn't it?).

So this is the message the NFL is sending to our kids:  Beat a woman and you can have a job, but if you exercise your constitutionally protected right to free speech by taking a knee during the national anthem to protest racial inequality, you cannot be employed in the NFL.

Completely.  Fucking.  Clueless.

Fuck Donald Trump

A profile in courage

The power of one...

Amidst the daily deluge of downers from the Trump Administration, every now and again a scintilla of hope shimmers through.  In reaction to a number of the Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles deciding they weren't interested in kowtowing to a racist asshole, Donald Trump rescinded their invitation to the White House and staged a fake rally of Philadelphia Eagles fans (actually White House interns, aka future Nazis) in support of our National Anthem.  But if you'll look closely at the photo above, one man took a knee...on the fucking White House lawn.

Know that as long as there is even one of us willing to fight for what's right, the bastards can never defeat us.
