To be fair (?) I doubt if she remembers anything that happened three minutes ago. She's so old she has the memory of a goldfish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to hear from you with yet another personal insult, not like I expected anything else. Was concerned that you were ill or something.

Well, I would fucking hope so since 76.9% of the population is white. And 13.3% is black. Considering those numbers, if more blacks were killed by cops, it would be a even bigger problem. https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/US/PST045217 But as it is, 13.3% of the population ends up being 25% of people killed by cops. That means black Americans are 3 times as likely as white Americans to be shot and killed by police officers. http://www.newsweek.com/police-shootings-killings-us-unarmed-black-reform-michael-brown-764787 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Now cheerleaders are joining the protest, too. Gee!) I am also tired of ESPN pretending they are MSNBC or CNN. I don't need ESPN or Hollywood movie stars to tell me how to think. This season, I will boycott ESPN and all NFL games with the exception of the Bengal games. I turn the TV on at kickoff. I don't listen to the pregame or post game hype by ESPN or CBS talking heads. I get my Bengal news here. Is anyone else boycotting the NFL, or am I the lone wolf? Educate yourself. Informed opinions are much more valuable and respected than uninformed opinions. https://www.snopes.com/veteran-kaepernick-take-a-knee-anthem/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
