The NFL has changed its tune (for “brand”, of course) but still hasn’t apologised to CK.

But he wasn't brave at all. Not in any way.

I read that as irony.

Brave girl.

i agree.

no knee surgery recovery, no bandage P4S. your other comment is in very poor taste. maybe her mum or dad is a cop?

as for the AFL players, i said the same in the game day thread, what if one didnt do it? i didnt like it, i dont want politics in it, and i dont want them to have to choose.

Maybe it’s a team for the children of cops and the others are all smart enough to know that it’s a good idea to duck in the US if there are police around - you know the story: you might be white but they might miss when they’re shooting at the black girl next to you - that sort of thing. Who knows?

probably a good idea to duck when armed citizens are around too, actually more important, they have bigger badder guns than the cops.

From Twitter: RIP 1 year old #SincereGaston killed in a double drive by shooting, say his name, his life mattered too.

And Seattle police take back their station.

So the border guards in the Antifa takeover zone in Seattle where they kicked out those horrible racist cops just shot and killed two black teenagers.

Justify the “Antifa” reference with an actual news report.
