Fans boo moment of silence to acknowledge inequality in NFL opener
The NFL season got off to a dismal start when fans jeered during what the league described as ‘a moment of silence dedicated to the ongoing fight for equality’www.theguardian.com
The incident was particularly striking because it was meant as a show of unity rather than any kind of protest with players, both black and white, linking arms.
“Some NFL fans booing the players for standing and locking arms in a moment of silent unity proves that for them the ‘standing for the flag’ was always about perpetuating white supremacy,” wrote Kansas City councilman Eric Bunch on Twitter.
What do these meatheads want ? A protest to celebrate inequality ?
They prefer violence.
They sure hate peaceful protest.
Well I saw black and white youngsters standing together in unity. And in the background I could hear the bestial screaming of old trumpers losing their grip on sanity.![]()

I'm really not interested in being unified by a "higher power". Hitler did that. I dont have trouble getting along with people of diffe re
Most on the right – Trump supporters in particular – maintain the wrongheaded notion that there is no inequality.![]()

So, removed on your spin, you admit that the act was not meant to be a show of national unity.
And that is the point. This is about pandering or kowtowing to the racist left mob.
Really, demanding equality is pandering to the left? Are you admitting the right is for the inequality that exists today?
Some folk re so stupid they shouldnt be allowed to use cutlery.
It’s not national unity but rather an attempt at forced capitulation to a falsehood and millions are not oarticipatingThe path of the kneel down and better government and opportunities is better than your way.It’s not about change it’s about blameNot as sad as those who are making football political.It's sad that you see unity as political.
Everything is going to be this way until we really enact real change.
Every city this shit goes down, is a dem strong hold. What "change" do you want, that you could not have had twenty years ago?
Blacks are 1/7th the population yet commit 70% of all crimes mostly upon other blacks
These are unpleasant facts to deal with so instead let’s have fake kneel downs to express our bullshit feeling that those in the stands and watching on TV do not know that black lives matter.
Fuck the slap in the face and then expect me to shut up, sit back and watch you play.
This is the deal, them fans in the stands, them white boys, them trump nuts, came to see a ballgame, not some fake cum by ya nigga moment. Its all a bunch of fake bullshit anyways. Them nigga's should have stood they're ground and not played ball period. But God forbid a black man with some serious coins, stand strong for his race.
Who would boo a call for unity?
I agree with you that the "show of unity" was a rejection of racism. That's why I applaud it. It's just sad that there are still so many racists among us.Don’t like a misguided and incorrect farce being forced upon me.Don't like being called out?Fu$k you racist white people now sit back and pay to watch us play
I’ll pass. Millions are also.
I will use the same false assumption and accusation on youDon't like being called out?Fu$k you racist white people now sit back and pay to watch us play
I’ll pass. Millions are also.
What was the date of the last rioting and looting event that you attended ?
Oh... huh.. are you saying you're not a racist? Then why does an anti-racism message bother you?
Let me use the same “when did you stop beating your wife” technique on youI will use the same false assumption and accusation on youDon't like being called out?Fu$k you racist white people now sit back and pay to watch us play
I’ll pass. Millions are also.
What was the date of the last rioting and looting event that you attended ?
Oh... huh.. are you saying you're not a racist? Then why does an anti-racism message bother you?
What was the last rioting and looting event you attended.? The fact that you did not answer me already certifies you have been attending.
We feel strongly that you have or could or will and your refusal to deny and prove your innocence is damning.on you
Kinda sucks when your smarmy technique is used on you isn’t it ?
What???
Seriously - if you're not a racist, what could possibley offend you about a show of unity?
It's not the show of unity that's offensive, it's the show of the lack of unity for the nation that's offensive.
How is it a show of a lack of unity? Other than the few people who were booing?
Another thing that bothers people like myself is the religious cult mentality that the anti-racism crusade has developed. Just like the things that Christians used to do that so many on the left always hated, anti-racism adherents are now judging people as racist and condemning them for stupid reasons such as, well, booing or criticizing people who kneel for the National Anthem. You know, like you're doing right now.
Well, no, the show of unity was specifically formulated as an alternative to kneeling. They weren't kneeling for the national anthem. So what IS your beef? What are you offended by? Is there something about unity that bothers you? Would you prefer everyone stay divided? Why?
At my work, in which I was a manager for 20 years, if two applicants had similar job qualifications, we were instructed to give the job to the minority or female. That is an unequal footing intended for equal outcome. Every business does it and has been doing it for over 20 years.plain and simple = prove there is a problem of inequalityMost on the right – Trump supporters in particular – maintain the wrongheaded notion that there is no inequality.![]()

if there is, it's the blacks who are privileged
...you can't just claim something and want people to believe it
Anyone who combines " I don't support rioting and looting or intimidation or chickenshit shaming tactics or demands for special considerations" can be ignored.
Then you are not for national unity if you condemn them.Ghost, just support national unity, huh?
I'm not the one kneeling for the National Anthem.

Done.What the Trump right does not get is that the majority of the county will not do it there way. Ever.
However, what IS bothersome is the automatic condemnation of racism any time a conservative criticizes the methods and actions of the anti-racism cult…
If BLM were to curb these methods and in addition, acknowledge the drug, crime and gang problem in their own communities; acknowledge the problem of innocents and children being killed in these gang wars; acknowledge that the rampant crime by blacks and the penchant for resisting officers is a major factor as to why black men are more often killed by police, then, and only then, will I consider supporting them.
