Sportball: Chiefs called on to raise African American flag in addition to social justice messages
2020-09-11
[FoxNews] The Chiefs will have the phrases 'End Racism' and 'It Takes All of Us' in their end zones.

Pat Clarke, who is an activist in the Kansas City, Mo., area, wrote in a letter to the organization that the flag should be raised at Arrowhead Stadium along with the social justice messages in the end zones and the special decals that will be placed on players’ helmets, according to FOX4 KC.

#23  They're all on their knees because they are all weak-kneed and spineless. My level of disdain for all of them is pegging the "WTF-ometer".

#22  Oh, and Chiefs/Texans is a rematch from last year's post-season.

Big 12 just went stupid.

#21  Gee..Look at the packed stadium...

I heard they were going for 1/4 capacity, but it didn't look even that. I hadn't seen so few fans since the Herm Edwards years and I can tell you for a fact that the volume of applause to number of fans was not accurate; that is canned noise.

In fact, there was booing going on during the arm chains formation.

Mind you, this is, or was, an enthusiastic fan base whose team just came off a Super Bowl win and secured for the franchise the most exciting and talented QB in the league, and there are some good ones.

We are some 350 miles from KC and it is still Chiefs Country, with fireworks set off after the Super Bowl Win.

I didn't even know there was a game last night, nevermind KC. Guest showed up, "Watching the game?" "What game? (sincerely)" "Yeah, fvck it."

#20  And an important point from the Ace post:


People are still locked up.

So, fewer eyeballs despite a "captive Covid audience"

#7  I foolishly thought that Skid was joking, then I scrolled down. Maybe that whole simulation thing IS true and some programmer is herniating himself with mirth as we watch this, uh, don't quite know how to put it.

#5  Me loves unity. But your watermelon flag sucks.

Why do you hate the colorblind? Why are you red-green flag activists so exclusionary?
