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

[–] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 59 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I strongly disagree.

I'll be laughing for much longer than a week.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I smile when I think of the blood pouring from his neck.

Nazi lives don't matter.

[–] OctopusNemeses@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

There's no info about the shooter yet but I'm shutting up about Americans not taking action. At least for now.

[–] ch00f@lemmy.world 47 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Is your fuckwit uncle internally consistent or a racist?

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

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

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 36 points 1 day ago (3 children)

NFL is the Millionaire CTE Scramble anyway, so I ain't watching that shit.

[–] Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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”

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Baseball is even slower, IMHO

[–] Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nonetheless, football is still very slow

[–] kbobabob@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Baseball, where you can play a whole game without getting sweaty unless it's hot and humid out.

Always Fuck The Cardinals

(But I’m positive the owners of my Cubs are fascist too so fuck the Ricketts also)

[–] Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 day ago

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

[–] barooboodoo@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Fuuuuck, I'm gonna regret asking but what'd the NHL do?

[–] Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

[–] barooboodoo@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 day ago

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

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 :(

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 25 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Too bad the wires are malfunctioning and the message never arrived

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 8 points 18 hours ago

Also some damn kids tied knots in the flagpole rope, so that's gonna take a few days to fix

[–] jmsy@lemmy.world 58 points 23 hours ago (3 children)

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?

[–] shawn1122@sh.itjust.works 71 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

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"

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.

[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 21 hours ago

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.

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 46 points 18 hours ago (5 children)

The fucking state of Virginia is calling for a moment of silence over this guy. What the hell is going on?

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 32 points 18 hours ago

They're martyrizing him. Goal is probably civil war and trans genocide.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 24 points 16 hours ago (11 children)

And to bury the Epstein birthday book. Did anyone realize that the emails between Maxwell and Epstein were released yesterday?

the far-right establishment behind the Trump administration is preparing to use this as the justification for the incoming Reichstagsbrandverordnung.

They've got their van der Lubbe now and they're working to get their bullshit in before Nov 2026

This doesn't matter at all. Release the Epstein files.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 9 points 13 hours ago

We need justice and closure for the survivors. That's why the files need to be released.

It's not like I can boycott their garbage any more than I already do.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago (4 children)

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.

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 6 points 22 hours ago (5 children)

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.

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.

I said they weren't gonna, and they didn't. We got a big ol flag display outside town, the towns proud of it. It goes to half staff when appropriate. It did not fly half staff yesterday.

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

[–] potato_wallrus@lemmy.world 8 points 13 hours ago

Cool, another reason for me to hate football

To quote Marilyn Manson:

"If you die when there's no one watching,

then your ratings drop and you're forgotten.

But if they kill you on their TV,

You're a martyr and a Lamb Of God. "

I'm pretty sure there was something for 9/11 actually. It's been a while but I'm almost positive.

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.
