It's not. Everybody loves Megan Rapinoe. She's a total rock star. Believe me, I wish we had a male soccer player of her talents and charisma. I even bought a T-shirt of her doing that amazing bow after the World Cup goal and I never really care about female athletes.

Tell that to Drew Bress...Flag means something specific to him. His beliefs mean he is a racist, uninformed, ignorant, a redneck, and in general a horrible person. With everything going on today it’s better just not to say much especially if you are a known public figure instead of an anonymous soccer parent/troll on a message board.

Dude got belief shamed by the sports world and media...needed to make an apology to move forward. He did not say anything wrong. He gave his belief and perspective. The prejudice against beliefs are what all the “enlightened” ones are protesting/looting/rioting about. The hypocrisy is endless...athletes and entertainers should stick to their day jobs. I tune into them for entertainment not to listen to their opinions/beliefs.

Didn’t George Washington have slaves...when is there going to be a call for our currency, Mount Rushmore, Street Names...the sensitivity is endless. Pelosi took portraits down for Juneteenth, my bank in closing at 1pm...do Dems realize their party supported slavery??? Just curious...At least that’s what “history” tells us, but that can’t be the correct history can it...never...nope. Dems=Good, Enlightened, Reps=Racist, Ignorant... :rolleyes:

Can’t wait for next weeks set of over-reactions. Very excited to see what happens.

Ask a stupid loaded, argumentative and sarcastic question - get the horns. If you want to be taken seriously, ask serious questions instead of ones that accuse people who don’t share your jingoistic point of view of supporting the destruction of the United States of America.

I don’t know how many times I need to tell people I’m perfectly happy playing your game and roll around in the muck with you bottom feeders. I know that comes as a surprise to many since ya’ll had it so easy being obnoxious dicks back when we libtards took the high road and tried to have rational conversation. Those days are over. Now when one of you dicks refuses to sell a cake, we put you out of business. When one of you shoots someone due to their skin color, we throw rocks through windows and burn down Wendy’s until they get the murder charge they deserve.

When you’re ready to ask serious questions and show a willingness to put thoughtful consideration into a response, I’ll give you a response that lacks the in-your-face patronizing snark that you currently deserve. But so long as your purpose is to ask loaded questions that tell people in the question that they’re trying to destroy the United States if they aren’t an echo chamber for you, well, go back to masturbating to Tucker Carlson every week night at 8 pm eastern.

As a parting thought (for now), if you think that standing up for equal rights and against racist cops who murder people based on their skin color constitutes “destroying the United States”, then yes, I support exactly that.

LOL. You are the joke. You are the Nazi who brought up race. You are the one painting with a broad brush. You are the one who discriminates against anyone who disagrees with you. You are the problem. You are the one acting like the Nazi and the extremists. You are the problem Nazi.

Keep on going with your discrimination. It’s not going to get you far. Every single conservative is fed up with being called racist.
The reason why we don’t protest is because most of us actually have to work and follow a moral code.

Your horns are very weak, you just don’t know it Nazi.

Slow down man, you’re losing your train of thought. No, Drew Brees did not express what the flag meant to him. He tried to express what he believed it should mean to others. He got educated and unlike the bigots who get upset when uppity black people don’t do as they’re told, he actually listened to reason and changed his perspective. But I can see why you believe he only apologized because he was shamed. Racists are compelled to de-legitimize the authenticity of Brees’ apology because, otherwise it means that someone they respected as one of their own turned on them. And there aren’t a lot of overtly racist public figures out there. They need to hang onto the few who are left if they’re going to have any hope of justifying their bigotry going forward. Man, if even the QB for the New Orleans Saints won’t support racism, who do you even have left? It’s not like having Ted Nugent on your side helps the cause.

Yes, GW had slaves. That is a real black mark. If people decide to take down his statues and rename cities and states, ok. Personally, I’d prefer to leave them since he wasn’t a treasonous POS. But I also understand why others don’t. Maybe we can hang a sign on them like what HBO is doing before Gone With the Wind?

As for the democrat thing, I love it that Republicans need to go back 150 years to find a Democrat as bigoted as most Republicans are today. Also keep in mind that when you need to point to Abraham Lincoln as a Republican who wasn’t a blatant racist, you kinda lost the argument before it started.

Happy Juneteenth! How do you racist Republicans feel about our new holiday? I know how you guys got about getting an extra day off when it was MLK, Jr.

You’re right...a 41 year old man who has worked, played, and been around people of color his whole life needed an education on race, etc. All accounts are Brees is a really good dude. He is not a racist. But calling him one would make you ignorant.

You’re argument regarding “He tried to express what he believed it should mean to others.” Is exactly what is happening on the other end of the spectrum...seriously?

We live in a free country and people can do and say what they want within reason. But just because you don’t agree with something does not make you a racist, bigot, ignorant, etc., etc. That’s the close minded, intolerant behavior that creates bigger problems.

I didn’t think it could get more brainwashed than @messy but @EOTL takes the cake here. I don’t think he/she is capable of taking on an intelligent debate.

@EOTL is a discriminating Nazi and not worth the time. It’s obvious people like this just get angry and resort to hurling cuss words at you. SMH.

I am bummed about it...the lies, the misrepresentations, the violence, rioting, looting, political and social pandering, the media, the overwhelming prejudice that is presented...the ignorance on both sides and everywhere in between. It’s just sad...this is no awakening or consciousness..seriously? Your right it is about race, the race to the Whitehouse, which will probably be on a petition to be renamed shortly.

I think people are pretty aware of our country’s history how it is written anyway both good and bad. Anybody in their right mind knows to treat people fairly, with respect, and that judging somebody based on skin tone, religious beliefs, etc. is wrong. we all have prejudices, things we like, people we like, food we like and things we don’t. Am I racist because I don’t like Vietnamese or Thai food? Am I prejudice against Southerners because I don’t want to live in South Florida because of the Humidity? Everybody has a complaint or an issue. It’s like the person in the office who always says it is too cold...you can bring a jacket or a sweater...Other people can’t take clothes off to get cooler...nobody wants to see a bunch of middle aged dad bods.

People refuse to look at all the information and data and choose to use a data point or anecdote to fuel a position or their agenda. There are people who make their living off there being “injustice” and “racism”.

What’s funny about all of this is there is a lot of useless action with protests, riots, politicians, etc., and the solutions out there amount to pulling down statues, celebrating a new holiday, framing police as brutal racists, re-branding Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben’s and removing paintings in the capital.

Can anybody get specific about what needs to change? A single specific, actionable change. I have not much. Or is it going to be a series of changes until somebody, whoever that is, decides that’s enough, we are good now. The goalposts keep moving.

Woe is you. Make up fake concern about Washington being renamed so you can wallow in fake self-created self-pity about how all you hold dear is being destroyed.

If you want a cheat sheet that allows you to dispense with further bothsidesism” and “whataboutism” bluster, here you go:

1. Get rid of statues of treasonous bastards who fought to defend slavery.

2. Criminally prosecute racist cops who murder black people, and then fire all their whiny thin blue line co-workers/co-conspirators who call in sick because they’re just so angry that you can’t murder black people anymore. And as a corollary, stop with all the feigned shock and horror when a Wendy’s burns to the ground because the cop is not being held accountable. Pieces of society are going to burn when society decides its ok for cops to murder black people. It doesn’t matter that Wendy herself didn’t pull the trigger. She was part of the society that did. It doesn’t matter that you don’t think it’s fair. It doesn’t matter that it isn’t fair. It is what happens when a critical mass of citizens is treated this unfairly. If you don’t believe me, stop fixating on the “history” of racist treasonous confederate bastards for a second and spend some time on the history of pretty much every revolution in the entire history of time. For people who claim to be super knowledgeable about history and what it means every time a metal Robert E. Lee statue face plants onto the concrete, ya’ll don’t seem to know shit about history.

3. Stop demanding that other people accept that the American flag means whatever you racist, pro-cop murderer, jingoistic, traitor-lover, Bud Light drinking, rascal driving, tooth-missing uneducated dotards think it means. Because as long as you keep stereotyping people who do not agree with you and refusing to accept the legitimacy of their concerns, you’ll be thankful you din’t get the bricks instead of libtard patriots like myself who enjoy playing your stereotype game.

Really cool how the Premier League is handling BLM on Juneteenth, don’t you agree? I’m beginning to think we would have been better off losing the Revolutionary War.

Like I keep saying, there’s no helping dumb people who don’t want to hear. You can only mock them. Pretty soon they’ll be vanished to 4Chan.

No one is criticizing Brees for standing for National Anthem. No one is calling Brees a racist, because he did an admirable job of listening and learning. I wrote earlier about the rhetorical method of de-legitimizing the sincerity of Brees’ apology because that’s the only way of reconciling the fact that Brees is telling you that your deeply held belief is wrong.

Another rhetorical technique is what you are doing now. Specifically, you’re accusing me of being upset with Brees although you’re the one with the problem with his final word. I have already stated my full-throated (that was for the homophobes of the bunch) support of Brees. If you can’t de-legitimize Brees, it doesn’t leave you any options other than to just flat out lie about his position. Well, too bad, so sad.

Calling me a Nazi was pretty obvious. I know you really want to insult me about how I feel about religion, but you’re chicken. You don’t want to rehash how your god supported stoning gay folk.

Yes, history by its nature has "stopped", you can't change it, but you can dictate the narrative and perception of it, i.e. re-write it. It has always been thus, today is no different - the adoration of the confederacy is a good case in point. The hysteria around kneeling versus statues to traitors, now rebranded as southern "patriots" ...

Things appear as serious as the News Media markets them to be...more people are dying from Corona than the all the casualties from our country’s “wokeness”...Covid lost its media juice, ratings are even better when we can have verbal/physical racial attacks, riots, looting, demonization of our police, and people attacking each other. Even our politicians and leaders provided a pass on stay at home orders, distancing, and all that jazz during the protests/riots/looting...It’s like in So Cal, everybody likes a good car chase.

A protest implicates 1st Amendment concerns that getting a haircut does not, regardless of what psycho Michigan militants who watched too much Red Dawn and storm a capitol building with their AR-15s tell you.

I have no problem declaring where I am. I consider myself “middle-right.” I don’t vote party lines. I vote based on the issue. Good and bad people on both sides. I’m open to listen, just give me a good perspective and argument without calling me a racist, bigot, or any other name and you’ll get my attention.

I voted for Trump over Hillary...I just couldn’t trust her. I’ll vote for Trump again, I just wish he would stay off the twitter, it sometimes puts fuel on the fire. I like a lot of what he is doing. TBH, we have not had great candidates on either end in the past few elections. I’m shocked that Biden is the best the Dems have to offer.

I’ll wait in silence for the name calling and other insults heading my way.
