In reply to the discussion: St. Louis Rams Players Enter Field With "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" Pose [View all]JohnnyRingo
(18,641 posts)I should have known better than to laud the Rams players here for their form of peaceful protest to begin with, and realized I'd catch a great deal of flak from those with more liberal ideals than myself.
Thanks to your input, I now understand that the team would have been far more effective in ending racism if the St Louis players had set fire to their own locker room, looted the nacho stand on their way to the field, and given the middle finger to the fans and TV cameras after punching out a couple NFL officials. I just wasn't thinking. Shame on them for being such pussies.
...and thank you for showing such great restraint in not telling me to take my peaceful protest bullshit back to Free Republic or alerting on me for my disruptive and otherwise insensitive post.
Now I finally know how those old people felt in A Clockwork Orange.
