but didn't Brady make news before the SB for NOT delving into a line of political questioning?


Yes because he was so open about his love for Trump, but when the block got hot, he scattered like a little roach. That's textbook cowardice.

You drew your line in the sand Tom, own it.

They ran because it was a publicly bad look, not because their beliefs changed.

Own your beliefs

Pointing our racism has now become worse than actual racism.

Snowflakes I tell you

Exactly. Don't watch and stop starting threads about them. They'll be gone soon enough.

I never said their beliefs changed (nor should they have).

I said they did the opposite of what you implied (RE: intersecting their beliefs into sports and MSB posters celebrating it).

So, in your book, you're allowed to use the Pats as both an example of a team intersecting right-wing beliefs AND also not doing so?

Holes all up in your argument, bruh

But you just said they would lose the locker room, didn't you?

I'm still not sure what you're trying to prove with this example.

Perhaps they shouldn't support divisive figures in the first place and or take extreme measures to not make any associations with those people known

2016 was one of most divisive elections I can remember. I'll give you that, but why is that a problem if they're only seen at Trump rallies?

You can't be friends or work with someone who supports a different presidential candidate?

So why was LeBron not crucified for his relationship with Hilary?

Wtf?

My anecdotal evidence in Chicago tells me that everyone hates both the Patriots and ESPN.

Oh, he meant white people?


Yes, only white people. Go check his Twitter feed, he's one of those people literally saying that black people can't be racist.

don't think Michael Smith is anywhwre near Bomani, Pablo, or LeBatards intelligence, but I don't know why it's so offensive to suggest so?


More offensive bc he is lumping everyone together based on a few. What if someone said all gay people were HIV+? What about all black men don't take care of their kids? The very thing people like him claim to be against are the very things they use to support their opinions. frick anyone like him no matter the side of the fence they sit.

That's fricking golden coming from the TD spokesperson of the same group that supports Alton Sterling and Gravy Chambers

Talk about supporting divisive figures......

The ESPN hate is a little exaggerated but no one's tuning in to ESPN to hear lectures about race or politics.


There were many in the ESPN layoff thread that downplayed the direction ESPN is going. Them having this type of stuff on a prime time slot proves it.
