Yeah, sure they will.




Football is a religion in the US. Not even instances of child molestation, widespread gang rape and general criminality of players have deterred fans.

You're living in a dream world.

Perhaps they will all convert to hockey. I mean like they'll all be Muslim by 2050, why not hockey fans too.

I wonder if this is going to be like Bill Oreilly's "freedom fries" "boycott" of France 15 years ago after France refused to support Bush-Cheney's their invasion of Iraq (you know, the invasion that Republicans suddenly have collective amnesia over).

Despite Bill's completely made up fake-source claims (another Republican tradition) that the "boycott" was hurting France, sales of French exports in the US actually went up slightly during the period. Judging from all the Fox News footage of Republitards buyong up expensive French wine and perfume to smash during their protests, Bills "boycott " was probably pretty lucrative for France and gave a nice bump to their sales

I bet the NFL sees the same bump from these idiots as they run out to replace their favourite jersey. .

Pat Tillman's Widow Pushes Back On Trump NFL Tweet

September 26, 201711:45 AM ET

The widow of Pat Tillman — the NFL player-turned U.S. Army Ranger killed by friendly fire in Afghanistan in 2004 — is pushing back against a retweet by President Trump that included an image of her late husband with the hashtags #StandForOurAnthem and #BoycottNFL.

"As a football player and soldier, Pat inspired countless Americans to unify," Marie Tillman wrote in a statement to CNN. "Pat's service, along with that of every man and woman's service, should never be politicized in a way that divides us. We are too great of a country for that. Those that serve fight for the American ideals of freedom, justice and democracy. They and their families know the cost of that fight. I know the very personal costs in a way I feel acutely every day."

"The very action of self-expression and the freedom to speak from one's heart — no matter those views — is what Pat and so many other Americans have given their lives for," Marie Tillman said. "Even if they didn't always agree with those views."

Pat Tillman played for the Arizona Cardinals but, following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, left to join the U.S. Army in 2002. He was deployed to Iraq and then Afghanistan.

During his U.S. Army service, Tillman reportedly turned critical of the war in Iraq and U.S. motives for the invasion. After his death, the U.S. Army sought to cover up details of his death....

‘Sunday Night Football’ Ratings Down Again On Day Of Player Protests

In metered market numbers, the primetime matchup that saw the Washington Redskins beat the Oakland Raiders 27-10 snared an 11.6/20, the worst SNF has performed this season so far. It’s an 8% dip from the early numbers of last week’s game, Atlanta’s 34-23 win over Green Bay. Amid cheers and boos from fans at FedEx Field in Maryland last night, the third week of the SNF season declined 10% from early numbers of the comparable game of last year on September 25, 2016...

His Obamacare repeal attempt is about to fail for a THIRD TIME. That's what he's trying to distract from by starting this nonsense. This is the typical Trump MO: every time he fails, he runs south and holds another 2016 election rally in one of the goober bible states that elected him, then starts a pointless twitter campaign against some group or celebrity.

Careful there Bart, grabbing some guy by the gotch and making him take them offcould be misconstrued.

Puerto Rico's Governor Dismantles Media Attacks on Trump's Response to Hurricanes Irma and Maria

It was clear this weekend that the talking points had gone out to the media: President Trump's response to both Hurricane Irma earlier this month and Hurricane Maria last week was as disastrous as Bush's response to Hurricane Katrina.


In an interview with PBS Newshour this evening, Rosselló thanked the Trump administration for their prompt response:


JOHN YANG: Governor, are you getting all the aid you need or getting it fast enough from the states?

GOV. RICARDO ROSSELLO: First of all, we are very grateful for the administration. They have responded quickly.

The president has been very attentive to the situation, personally calling me several times. FEMA and the FEMA director have been here in Puerto Rico twice. As a matter of fact, they were here with us today, making sure that all the resources in FEMA were working in conjunction with the central government.

We have been working together. We have been getting results. The magnitude of this catastrophe is enormous. This is going to take a lot of help, a lot of collaboration. So, my call is to congressmen and congresswomen to take action quickly and conclusively with an aid package for Puerto Rico.

We are in the midst of potentially having a humanitarian crisis here in Puerto Rico which would translate to a humanitarian crisis in the United States. So, I call upon Congress to take action immediately. You know, Puerto Ricans are proud U.S. citizens.



This is a message that Gov. Rosselló and other Puerto Rican officials had been putting out all weekend.

On Saturday, the Associated Press reported:

Rossello and other officials praised the federal government for planning its response in detail before the storm hit, a contrast with what Puerto Rico has long seen as the neglect of 3.4 million Americans living in a territory without a vote in Congress or the electoral college.

"This is the first time we get this type of federal coordination," said Resident Commission Jenniffer Gonzalez, Puerto Rico's non-voting representative in Washington.

[Thanos]

No, there's been a few hints here and there on CKA tying things in with those idiots with their dimwitted frog mascot and all that other dreck that effectively giveaway what they are. The reading between the lines these days is getting fairly gruesome. If it's from 4Chan/8Chan/Reddit it's definitely these fucksticks and their "weaponized autism" acting up again.

[N_Fiddledog]

As I understand it places like 4chan and reddit are equal opportunity trolls. They're on both sides of the political spectrum.

But my point with the tranny meme was more that this strategy of identity politics through posed victimhood is about creating derisiveness to attack traditional institutions with what seems to be one larger ultimate purpose.

Those who don't get that, can try this one.

Who's Divisive -- the President or the Players?

There's a place for 4chan and 8chan. They're pretty good at performing free research and investigations and many of them are also Anonymous and they're handy sources of tools, methods, and techniques.

That they're also sophomoric assclowns is just part of their collective charm.

I find them a fairly unbiased but politically left-of-center group.

Oh, and I refer to some such people as having weapons grade autism. They're like mindless weapons...you just fire and forget in the certain knowledge that your assigned target will be terminated with prejudice.
