I thought one gets out of the greys with a reply. Kinja is really muzzly, if that’s a word. :/

I love football, but I’m boycotting. Not because me not watching will really impact the bottom line, but more so because I cannot in good conscience support or participate in a system that tacitly banned someone for standing up for a cause that directly impacts me and 95% of the people I care about. Find myself…

The real gag is how the people defending him are basically saying “he’s not racist - he’s just talking like a gamer.”

I mean the stars themselves are fairly woke, but this definitely could be cringy AF.

He didn’t “let” the n-word “slip” through. His non-apology illustrates that he knows exactly what he was doing.

I for one celebrate Larry Gilliard’s entire catalogue.

My only hope is for this to do right with the time slot HBO has given it. Do that, and I’m all in.

Janet is my forever crush. She’ll be 70 and I will still be like “hey girl”.

When I am sleep-deprived I miss stuff. Apologies

I’m born and raised in Indiana and have never understood why people here will wear or fly Confederate flag stuff. Indiana fought against the confederacy you dumbass racists. Those traitorous assholes killed people from Indiana.

I’m sure people say the same about you on the treadmill when the Rocky theme song comes on.

This must have only recently become an issue in the Midwest. Those kids never rocked the Stars and Bars before Trump. I live in the Deep South and Confederate symbols were banned at our schools more than twenty years ago. Because the administrators were thoughtful, progressive and tolerant? Of course not! Most of them…

The Chicago Police Department has some of the finest officers, and people, in the world. I just wish the ratio of those officers to the monstrous shitbags was MUCH higher.

I was happy to read the headline, then disappointed to read the rationale. If they’re only banning it because of the disruption, its not going to be long before they start banning things that are legitimately about free speech and protest.

i love every second of this, but especially the 90s throwback.

Great story, it’s refreshing to see a story about police officers having a positive impact.

Also, I’m so sick of the “But you’re erasing history” people. Nobody is erasing slavery, the confederacy, or the Civil War, they’re just not celebrating it. We wave flags that we’re proud of and erect monuments of our heroes. Taking those things down doesn’t mean they didn’t exist.

Beautiful story. Keep them coming.

Naw...naw...I ain’t crying this early in the morning...
