It’s funny they’re still boycotting the NFL. They all supposedly finished boycotting it during the kneeling and BLM controversies that occurred years ago.

They’re essentially opting out of all of the cultural ties they had to America at large. They only want to associate with their own cultists. Aside from the irony of them creating a safe space, they’re also creating a breeding ground for militants and extremists. It’s no surprise we had a guy chop his dad’s head off for being a government employee.

That’s quite a bomb to drop in your last sentence. Gonna need a source on that one.

I thought we were all looking at the same 10 posts here!

This is exactly how it feels 😂 compared to Reddit, I actually really enjoy that. This still has a cozy community vibe, kinda like Reddit did back in 2012 or 2013. Then it all just kinda fractured. Not really a bad thing, as Reddit hosts so many close community, but I do miss how it felt in its earlier years where the entire site had this kinda kindred feeling about it.

I hope we all get to experience this more one day when we completely bungle an attempt to correctly identify a domestic terrorist

Yet they’re the ones who think everyone else is destroying America. Not sure how many leftists have severed the heads of their fathers to date…

33 year old in Buck’s County, PA. He filmed a 15 minute YouTube video holding his father’s severed head. The Advocate is the only source I’ve seen so far, sorry. But I have seen the YT video and it’s beyond fucked.

It feels like people learned nothing from 2016 and 2020. Conservatives always say and do stupid-ass shit in election years to get people riled up and distracted, with the eventual goal being to overwhelm you. This is just the first and most mellow of the crazy things we will see in an election cycle. It would really be best for the entire world if everyone just ignored the dumb things that these people say, instead of spreading it across the internet, and across the globe. Remember the wisdom of ages, do not feed the trolls.

This is all so confusing to me because Taylor Swift is so much more famous than Travis Kelce that there’s literally no reason they’d need to go through all the trouble of rigging (likely multiple) games for her to do anything. She could just do it at any time. It’s such a dumb theory because there’s not even one plausible thread.

I don’t see how this is even relevant. We know her political stance. She’s already on “national TV” any time she wants. What’s she gonna do, play the long con and turn the whole team gay? Oh, right, they got riled up when she told fans to register to vote and the GOP shook in their boots because their #1 and #2 tools are both forms of voter suppression with one being gerrymandering and the other being bOtH sIdEs anti-voting apathy. So any visibility is bad visibility for them. Either that, or, again, there’s shadier shit being passed in congress next week.

The message is right and lol @people mad that Taylor Swift is dating a football player.

That said, the original meme format is the first person stating a position, the second person asking an innocent question, and the first person thinking about it and getting mad because in order to answer they would be exposing the ridiculousness of their position. This particular instance of the meme isn’t as effective because it’s just the second person telling the first person they’re wrong. Not that that isn’t correct, just it’s not as funny or memorable as the original format.

I wonder if by boycotting they’ll find interest in other sports where the league doesn’t own all of the teams.

The NFL doesn’t own the teams. The teams, collectively, own the NFL.

Fair enough, but the result is the same. The teams aren’t clubs and are beholden to a closed single entity, big asterisk next to the Packers.
