What a stupid shirt to wear.




Yea, sit down, shut up and play football!!!

Some of you backwood fricks don't even realize what you're saying sometimes.

The man can have an opinion. If you don't agree with it that is fine. The world is full of opinions and dumbfricks

I like when the athletes get into the issues at hand and don't take the no comment route.

Leonard has always done the right things and seems to be a great guy. His opinion counts the same as yours a-hole

For some reason African Americans make martyrs out of criminals and felons. I wouldn't ever want to hitch my wagon to a felon and child molester.

ignorant to you. And that is the problem with your type, you can only see the world through your own limited narrow view. If you had to walk in the shoes of those you look down on you would ball up in the fetal position, put your thumb in your mouth and weep like a baby.

I look through the lense of justice and law. Sorry if you can't handle that.

The first step one should take toward a normal life in the greatest most opportunistic country in the world is to become solely and American and cut out the hyphenated, divisive BS. We are all Americans. If you separate yourself by race you are by definition a racist. Only in America do people scream racism and then separate themselves by their race and claim they are not racist. Counter intuitive maybe...


Get your fricking head out of the sand. One of the most idiotic post I've read on tigerdroppings.

I am proud of him for showing support. We should ALL show support. This is a systemic problem, and we should ALL be invested in finding a solution for black men and for police. If the greatest commandment is to love our neighbor as we love ourselves, then we better all get to work. And, to me LF7's show of support furthers that goal. So, put me down as proud of him...not just because he is a fantastic football player, but because he is a fantastic example off of the field, too.

What did he need to post to support the cops and why? This whole situation is sketchy on both sides, but maybe Leonard is tired of seeing people of his ethnicity d


And that's good , we all should be tired of seeing people killed , but LF and other role model types along with the media should be outraged over black on black crime and try to solve that problem instead of turning this into a blacks vs cops issue and only get worked up when white cops kill a black person who in most cases are criminals ....

Let's face it a black mans biggest nemesis is a black thug ....

Yea, Alton was such an upstanding citizen, just a victim.

Let's ignore the rap sheet.

Black criminality is the elephant in the room. These shootings don't occur in a vacuum. They overwhelmingly occur in the larger milieu of young black males who have lengthy rap sheets, and grow up in neighborhood where social pathologies are the norm, and not the exception. And of course it's only getting worse with 75% of black kids being born out of wedlock and being fed a constant diet of race grievance and race identity politics.

You won't find a t-shirt that says anything about any of that. Truth is not permitted. Only progressive sloganeering is allowed. But you will have shirts celebrating criminals and neat little slogans that reflect the hopelessness of it all. I can only weep for the future of this once-great country, divided into tribes, being fed a constant diet of Cultural Marxism.

Just to clear my name, Shakita Banita, the poster who called me racist, seems to now be banned after this post in the Dallas thread

10 officers shot. Three dead. Four in surgery.
That's a lot of "reaping".
Lots of kids without fathers tonight.


By the way Leonard, THIS is why you don't wear the t-shirt.

When a celebrity like Fouurnette wears a shirt that TAKES SIDES which it did when he offers no further explanation it can HELP to foment violence.

At least three cops are dead tonight.

He wore a shirt of a felon who was committing MULTIPLE felonies at the time of his arrest. Screw Fournette until he takes down that tweet.

Supporting justice for Alton Sterling is not condoning the police being killed in Dallas tonight.

"Waiving a confederate flag is not supporting the kkk......"

Unfortunately, when a group of idiots also share your "cause," that is who you will get lumped in with. Which is why this wasn't a good move for LF. In no way do I think LF condones tonight, but that is the vocal minority that his picture will be lumped with

When you wear such a shirt without any real explanation it takes a side. He was wearing the shirt of a felon who was committing multiple felonies when he got arrested. There was no message praying for peace or justice. Just wearing a shirt honoring a thug like gangbangers wear.
