Al Sharpton Accuses 'So Called' Super Bowl Fans of Racism
[Townhall] This year's Super Bowl was a relatively blasé affair by most accounts. The Patriots won for the six time in its career. There were no memorable commercials except for a "Twilight Zone" reboot tease and an ad celebrating 100 years of the NFL. The halftime show was pretty underwhelming except for a jarring "Spongebob Squarepants" transition. The one good thing that anybody could say about the game is that there were barely any politics throughout the proceedings.

Barely.

About an hour before the game proper started, Al Sharpton gave an accusatory address to the NFL and its fans on MSNBC's "Gotcha" segment.

Sharpton used this time to call out football fans for being racist because they didn't approve of black players kneeling for the National Anthem. The protest, instigated by former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick in 2016, was a demonstration against police violence against black Americans.
Lectured by a grifting racialist huckster bobblehead! We can get no RESPICT!

#4 It was interesting to see top shelf actors Harrison Ford and Tom Hanks reduced to door-to-door salesmen...and being horrible at it.

#5 Big Al is miffed because he has not been invited to the white house left by President Trump. With Obama he was the uncle that kept showing up for dinner.
