The information on the tiny amount of epstein files released might be titillating but the real meat and potatoes is in the rest of the huge mountain of information that they did not release.
It’s all pop culture and social trend… Life’s not about being an actual decent human being for most people.
i forgor 💀
NFL taking both knees these days.
At this point: All Buildings Matter
The last time I checked, and fuck me if I’m wrong, the NFL has several black athletes. What did kirk say about black people?
The league only cares about black athletes to the degree that it can profit off their performance.
Case in point: Colin Kaepernick knelt during the national anthem – which was honestly an extremely mild form of protest – and was immediately black-balled.
If they do care about black athletes, they clearly care about money a lot more.
The players are unionized, and the NFLPA has a lot of strong black voices in leadership if I recall (at least as of the last time I looked into it)… But yeah I doubt they’ll do anything unfortunately.
Calling the Civil Rights Act of 1964 a “huge mistake”
Describing Martin Luther King Jr. as “awful” and “not a good person”
Stated “If I see a Black pilot, I’m going to think, ‘I hope he’s qualified’”
Claimed successful Black women like Joy Reid, Michelle Obama, and Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson were “affirmative action picks” who “do not possess the cognitive capacity to be taken seriously”
Remind me who the owners… wait, don’t. Let’s just look at a picture of the owners of the nfl.
Then think about how ‘just’ their presentation goes. Compare the owner and the ‘peripheral’ employees. There’s a better picture that I can’t find that is often used in sociology classes, where the owner of a team is in the presence of the cheerleaders and the players, and it can’t be beat for showing that if you’re a rich man wanting slaves and concubines, owning a team is pretty much the next best thing.
The sports associations are fucked.
NFL and nhl are really showing how much they dig fascism. Can’t quite tell with the mlb but the cardinals sure as shit are so fuck them
Fuuuuck, I’m gonna regret asking but what’d the NHL do?
Pedo boy appointed bettman, gretzky, and tkachuk to some bullshit position to harass trans athletes essentially and I’m sure there’s a lot more shit.
wait what happened? im completely out of the loop on that
Goddammit.
I feel you. I fucking love hockey but fuck. I’m getting a stark reminder that a lot of athletes are the same kind of jocks I used to fuck up in high school as a punk
It appears that capitalism is as effective as monarchies at producing soulless sycophants. Who would have thought.
Always Fuck The Cardinals
(But I’m positive the owners of my Cubs are fascist too so fuck the Ricketts also)
It’s wild to have the same sentiment as a cubs fan. If there wasn’t the north south divide and ricketts being a cunt I’d probably just join up with you all to shit on the cards with how blatant they are about it. But hey, I’ve no qualms with being a White Sox fan. And I’m at stl as it comes so this is so fucking weird for me to be saying. Relish it, haha
NFL is the Millionaire CTE Scramble anyway, so I ain’t watching that shit.
Bro, where did you come up with that name 😂
Took me a bit, but I’m glad it got you to laugh.
Not to mention how fucking boring that shit is. I love how nfl fans will say baseball is slow and then sit there like football isn’t the slowest fucking thing ever god damn that sport is a drab and doesn’t deserve the name “football”
Baseball is even slower, IMHO
Nonetheless, football is still very slow
Agreed
Baseball, where you can play a whole game without getting sweaty unless it’s hot and humid out.
Football, where you can end your career with brain damage, kill people, then eventually kill yourself in prison
Boycott the NFL if you like American style football just watch Canadian or Australian football or even rugby they are all close enough and in some cases like Australian football I would say are better
Or avoid all sports 😉
If you suggest this to a Canadian they’ll rip out your spine, they could never give up hockey or seal clubbing.
*ice hockey
US sports (except maybe basketball) are very right-wing. I don’t think they actually care one way or the other, but their audience is mostly boys and men, and boys and men are right wing these days, so the sports cater to that audience.
I imagine people won’t like to hear it, but there’s no denying that major sports teams rely on the same “in-group/out-group” dynamic that fascism relies on.
It may be a more benign form (for the most part), but the whole “my sports team is better than yours!” Is definitely tribalistic in nature. It’s not surprising to me that many die-hard fans may revel in arbitrary social divisions in other facets of their lives.
As if the left is immune to tribalism…
Fascism is about the in-group that gets to make rules that bind the out-group but not themselves. The important bit there is the enforcement of those rules with the state’s monopoly on violence.
Merely having an in-group and an out-group is harmless on its own. It’s how you have inside jokes. It’s how you have friends who you can trust with secrets. It’s how families work.
I don’t know if they do it in the US, but it’s well known that Nazis in Europe are recruiting from the soccer fan clubs.
People turning their entire lives into revolving around artificial factions about a game they have no say in, and willing to get into physical fight over it, yeah, those are exactly who they want.
I have a good time watching the game but the commercials make me wince.
The salute the troops makes me gag.
The nationalism disguised as patriotism … it’s honestly getting to be too much.
It’s not just commercials, it’s often also the commentators. They’re not saying outright Nazi things, but, for example, they often they reminisce about how things used to be better, and complain about the current world.
Me waking yesterday with no memory of whomst I was.
I am very sick.
This doesn’t matter at all. Release the Epstein files.
We need justice and closure for the survivors. That’s why the files need to be released.
It will likely happen before every football game this weekend.
Fox News will then publish a pearl-clutching compilation of people booing at college football games, and Trump will use that to justify defunding those institutions further.
Makes me glad I stopped watching football years ago when it became clear that we were systematically destroying our childrens’ brains for a chance to destroy their brains further on TV as adults. All in the name of entertainment.
No thanks.

College football Tomorrow
Edit: nevermind,
There are hundreds of College Football games that take place on Saturdays, although I think the moment of silence and pearl clutching will also occur at the NFL games on Sundays.

i have a suggestion, and that’s that everyone going to one of these events, cue up Entry of the Gladiators by Julius Fucik, have multiple copies downloaded on your phone ready to go at whatever public event you’re at ready for that jackass’ moment of silence, and blare it out your phone. count down one two three then whoever’s ready plays at full volume. drown the motherfucker out.
I think these fascists are trying to make him their “George Floyd”. But unlike what the death of George Floyd represented (a wake-up call and a rallying chant against authoritarisnism, bigotry, institutionalized racism, and police brutality), this is a complete farse and a mockery, completely devoid of any meaning. He died for nothing except to give us some hilarious memes to laugh our asses off for no more than a week
My fuckwit uncle’s response to comments about George Floyd was “well turns out he was an asshole.”
So as long as someone’s an asshole, it’s okay to extra-judicially murder them.
Is your fuckwit uncle internally consistent or a racist?
Guess
I strongly disagree.
I’ll be laughing for much longer than a week.
I smile when I think of the blood pouring from his neck.
Nazi lives don’t matter.
There’s no info about the shooter yet but I’m shutting up about Americans not taking action. At least for now.
Family members turned him in, because even his own family doesn’t want to harbour this bigot.
And here’s a quick synopsis:
He’s exactly who you’d think. I, for one, am shocked /s. I guess Charlie wasn’t Nazi enough or something (according to Nick Fuentes in past statements, Charlie was a bit too ‘woke’, but we don’t know this lunatic’s motives yet, so I’m just speculating).
Not for nothing but we don’t know if he’s conservative or Republican at all. We know his family might be but we don’t know he is.
Yeah, I hoped I was clear that some of this is speculation at this point.
Based on the photos, though….
I get we need to be extra cautious, but some things are a pretty clear pattern. If we find out he was a leftist dude radicalised by the centrism of Lawrence O’Donnell, I’ll actually be shocked.
I mean the only photos I’ve seen is a few of him with guns. Which in no way means he has to be a conservative. Lot of leftists are good with guns too.
It’s probably me – having that many photos with guns is weird. I get that’s an American thing, but it’s actually pretty weird. His interest seems like fetishisation to me.
You mean, a white male with a gun fetish actually shot and killed somebody? In the USA?!? Git outta here!
Currently, they try to eliminate a possible Groyper connection. That would either push out or entrench Nick Fuentes on a larger political scale.
to be fair this is also a wake up call for them.
if they fuck around, they might find out.
They’re claiming it’s their Reichstag fire… They have somehow achieved a negative grasp of history. As in measured on a scale of 1 through 10, these people have a score of -5
Got orders at work today to lower our flag to half staff in his honor. No mention of 9-11. This is a public school district :(
Gross… If I were in charge of the flag, I would be trying to see if it were possible to fly it higher than usual.
Too bad the wires are malfunctioning and the message never arrived
Also some damn kids tied knots in the flagpole rope, so that’s gonna take a few days to fix
Man would I get my ass kicked once I started up my “CHARLIE KIRK’S IN HELL clap clap clapclapclap” chant during the moment of silence.
Carry around a couple of bricks. They wanna beat your ass? Hold a brick in each hand and start throwing punches back. You’ll break your hands in the process if you hit them with your hands, but you’ll also shatter any bones of theirs that you touch.
This is why if you want to start shit, you ride a motorcycle. Never get in a fight with someone wearing a motorcycle helmet.
Deservedly so, since it’s supposed to be four syllables before the claps, no more, no less. /s
