It seems as if comparing left-wing violence to what happened on Jan 6th is not allowed anymore.
Washington Commanders defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio is being forced to pay a $100,000 fine because of a tweet he made comparing Jan. 6 violence to what Black Lives Matter did across the nation after serial felon George Floyd overdosed on fentanyl in 2020.
Del Rio said the U.S. Capitol riot was a “dustup” and juxtaposed Jan. 6 with the sustained campaign of “riots, looting, burning” conducted by Black Lives Matter in the summer of 2020. For being found guilty of this thoughtcrime by the Sportsball Sanhedrin, he will pay a steep price.
“Would love to understand ‘the whole story’ about why the summer of riots, looting, burning and the destruction of personal property is never discussed but this is??? #CommonSense,” Del Rio said in the controversial tweet.
Del Rio would go on to try and grovel his way out of being punished, but that only made the mob want him to be punished more.
“Referencing that situation as a dust-up was irresponsible and negligent and I am sorry. I stand by my comments condemning violence in communities across the country. I say that while also expressing my support as an American citizen for peaceful protest in our country,” he said.
In addition to being fined, Washington coach Ron Rivera threw Del Rio under the bus as well.
“His comments do not reflect the organization’s views and are extremely hurtful to our great community here in the DMV [D.C.-Maryland-Virginia],” Rivera said. “As we saw last night in the hearings, what happened on the Capitol on January 6, 2021 was an act of domestic terrorism. A group of citizens attempted to overturn the results of a free and fair election, and as a result lives were lost and the Capitol building was damaged.”
Big League Politics has reported on NFL going ultra-woke, even to the point of introducing transgender cheerleaders:
“The NFL’s California Panthers have just added their first transgender cheerleader to its roster.
Justine Simone Lindsay, who is a biological male, made the announcement this week via Instagram on May 30. The news was later confirmed by Panthers TopCats cheerleading director Chandalae Lanouette to BuzzFeed on June 4.
“You are looking at the newest member of the Carolina Panthers TopCats Cheerleader’s @topcats as the first Transgender female,” wrote Lindsay in his post from 9 weeks ago, captioning a photo from the field. “I would like to thank the beautiful and talented dancers who supported me along the way alumni TopCats family and friends for your love and support.”
“I would not have gotten to this moment in my life if it wasn’t for the support,” the trans athlete added.
Lindsay captioned another post, “Dreams are reality/Dreams can manifest by putting in the work/Dreams can be accomplished with a focused mind body and spirit/This is my reality this is my story/Own it believe in it and everything will fall into place.”
According to Lanouette, she and the Panthers cheerleading team was aware that Lindsay was transgender. As this was made known by the cheerleading application.“
Telling the truth has major consequences in this age of ubiquitous repression of free speech. Every cultural institution is on board for the obliteration of America. This is total war against decency, dignity and common sense.
. Paying a fine for telling the truth is apparently in line with the current mental state of our once civilized society.
So, so sadly TRUE.
Ron Rivera is a mush-headed woke liberal who prioritizes virtue signalling ahead of his job and the rights of others.
Ridiculous what is this country coming to. A man can’t even speak his mind. What happened to freedom of speech. Right, wrong or indifferent he has a “RIGHT” to speak his mind without repercussions. No matter what you say someone, somewhere will be offended. Too bad. Are we turning into a bunch of wussy’s. All I ever heard as a kid was “sticks and stones will break your back but names will never hurt me” Toughen up America. I am not some radical who goes around mouthing off and I understand sometimes words can be hurtful but it is getting ridiculous and everyone has a right to their opinion whether you like it or not, that’s the point.
That’s wrong. They allow the chimps to loot and burn then bus the chimps into DC escorted by Capitol police. The Capitol police open the gates for the chimps dressed as Trump supporters and wave them in. What a setup by Nasty Piglosi and Chucky Scummer. To me it’s obvious but I guess to stupid democraps it’s not. Nasty Piglosi somehow gets away with this but Conservatives are way too smart.
I guess when you have fake news as your propaganda machine it makes it easier to have liberal idiot’s buy into it.
I have watched many games on TV since coming to the USA (from Finland where football is soccer)) in September 1970 (52 years ago) – not that much anymore. However, my first of the two NFL game in attendance was Super Bowl V in Miami 1971.
NFL “Refresher” NFL History…history not often reported or leaked to the ticket holders. I hope this helps you; it opened my eyes, to better understand when and why the public’s respect for the NFL organization started to crumble….
• In 2012 the NFL had an issue with Tim Tebow kneeling before each game to pray, they also had an issue with Tebow wearing John 3:16 as part of his eye-black to avoid glare, and made him take it off.
• In 2013 the NFL fined Brandon Marshall for wearing green cleats to raise awareness for people with mental health disorders.
• In 2014 Robert Griffin III (RG3) entered a post-game press conference wearing a shirt that said “Know Jesus Know Peace” but was forced to turn it inside out by an NFL uniform inspector before speaking at the podium.
• In 2015 DeAngelo Williams was fined for wearing “Find the Cure “eye black for breast cancer awareness.
• In 2015 William Gay was fined for wearing purple cleats to raise awareness for domestic violence. (Not that the NFL has a domestic violence problem).
• In 2016 the NFL prevented the Dallas Cowboys from wearing a decal on their helmet in honor of 5 Dallas Police officers killed in the line of duty.
• 2016 the NFL threatened to fine players who wanted to wear cleats to commemorate the 15th anniversary of 9/11.
So, tell me again how the NFL supports free speech and expression. It seems quite clear based on these facts that the NFL has taken a position against any action by NFL players demonstrating RESPECT for any issue: For God, social causes such as mental health, cancer, domestic violence, for cops killed arbitrarily, for being cops, or for the Memory of 9/11…
BUT they will allow demonstrations of DISRESPECT for our National Flag, our National Anthem, for America, and for the American People, if it will help mollify a particular Group and its supporters. That is who and what the NFL now has shown itself to be.
And now NFL Will Allow Six Social Justice Messages on Players’ Helmets. The decals, with messages such as “Stop Hate” and “Black Lives Matter,” are part of the league’s efforts to show solidarity with players who have protested against racism and police brutality.
Pass this post along to all your friends and family, if you believe it worthy of sharing. Honor our military; too many of whom have come home with the American Flag draped over their coffin.
Another great reason to never watch or go to in NFL game again!
He should not have been fined for telling the truth. BLM was behind the Jan 6th incident right along with Pelosi and the Democrats.
He’s absolutely correct! In fact the BLM S–t has been far worse and costly to people and businesses. Don’t believe it, look at the disaster of Chicago not one, not twice but three times and in multiple areas around the suburbs in South Chicago. Add in Portland, Seattle, and other locations. You cannot DENY the truth. You saw the devastation then and still see it and the fraud from their leaders stealing the money! Yep, typical of the gutter trash. There are decent respectable African Americans and then there are the N’s and those N’s represent the majority of BLM not the decent, educated, professional African Americans that have integrity, morals, and class. All of my friends that are African Americans don’t even want to be associated with that culture. Why would they. How unfortunate for the coach to get fined by the woke. I really wish society would syop catering to the woke of society. Our society is a dump because of it and always will be until we put them back under the rocks they came from, ALL WOKE!
Pay the coach double , because he said the truth, And you as team owners should be removed from your seats.
