Chiefs tomahawk chant shows the name is definitely not racist, just pure respect to Native Americans, like if the Brooklyn Nets called themselves the Rabbis.

3. Public colleges free based on passing an entrance exam.
4. Health insurance companies eliminated and abolished, and the executives imprisoned.
5. Tax corporate profits instead of giving tax breaks.
6. UBI for all based on location, encourage people to move to states that have low populations
7. Jeff Bezos jailed for life.

Wow, almost like this stuff might actually happen.

how deep do we want to dive in to this?

the Buffalo Bills are named after Buffalo Bill Cody, who was a self-proclaimed 'Indian fighter' and served as a scout for Custer.

Curly Lambeau named his team after his employer at the time, who also provided equipment to the team, that employer was the Indian Packing Company

Bert Rose was the GM of the Minnesota football team when it joined the NFL in '61. he recommended the Vikings because “it represented both an aggressive person with the will to win and the Nordic tradition in the northern Midwest.”

Hugh F. Culverhouse, chose Buccaneers from an original list of more than 400 names in 1975. The nickname, which was a popular choice among fans in a name-the-team contest, was a nod to the pirates who raided Florida’s coasts during the 17th century.

you forgot the part about churches being considered as Section 501(c)(3) organizations and not paying taxes, yet seeking federal aid via tax money

Bucs and Packers seem like prime candidates for the homophobic list someone mentioned earlier too.

Seems like the only fair thing to do is just number the teams and go from there. SB between the KC 17s and the SF 22s is gonna be an all timer.

How about calling out all of the corporations that are tweeting out #blacklivesmatter while having all white executive teams. Nike makes a ton of money off of black athletes, you'd think they would have a minority on the executive team. Nope. Apple? Nope. CNN, 1 out of 15.

Have you done any actual research in to Nike’s board of directors?

Here’s a hint: if you actually did you’d find almost 25% of the board are people of color.

Is this supposed to be a bad thing?




Biden would actually be a decent candidate if half the things Trumps says about him were actually true.

Nike would have likely had a black CEO if Trevor Edwards didn't screw up.

Texas is between 2%-2.5% right now. That's going to regress, but that's stupid close. This place is going blue within 20 years.

Per NBC National poll, When voters who say they dislike both choices are asked who they'll vote for, they go Biden 60-10. Trump won that group in 2016 by 10%.

"defund the police"

[edit] I agree with what most are saying to do, however the wording is like chum to the GOP, and I could see lolestablishment refusing to vote if they keep this up.

Also, yhtsi.



Sooner or later his followers are going to have to come to grips with the fact that Biden ran and continues to run a phenomenal campaign.

Yeah, we suck at branding. It's easy to hashtag but overly simple (which I realize go hand in hand). Biden needs to keep "shoot them in the leg" stowed safely in his "things not to say" box, but probably shouldn't go full #DefundThePolice just yet.

“I agree with what they are saying to do but not how they are phrasing it or going about trying to do it” takes generally age super poorly, fellas. Something to keep in mind.

Do-Nothing Smokin’ Joe has already explicitly said he doesn’t support defunding the police though. So probably not a big issue. I suppose the door is still open to blame leftists who have already gotten more done in a few days than pragmatists dreamed could get done in decades on the matter if Biden somehow loses, but it’s looking bleak for Donnie right now.
