I don't know how but congrats America although more blue areas of America specifically.

You've officially created the most cucked football team in the world. Even the women's league has more balls if you fire a guy for going ok with his hand.

Man i started learning German as kind of a hobby until it got to the point i could read some basic german news articles.

It was at that point i decided germany is a silly place and i have no further desire to learn their language or anything about the culture.

There's a super famous football player (whose name escapes me) who wears an actual bra when playing, man. It's a tough competition.

Considering it was a 4chan op to make something benign "racist" I'm gobsmacked it not only worked but worked without actually waking everyone up to how ridiculous it is.

Presstitutes were told, with documented proof, that they were pranked, but they refused to let it go, and they took every instance of people trolling them with it as a ''proof'' it was ''akshually a White Nationalist symbol''.

Its why these "expose the Left for being hypocrites!" ops are never good ideas.

All it does is get a lot of random innocent people roped in and ruined, while doing literally nothing to help the situation. The Left will never recognize its own failure, and the media won't acknowledge it.

Only among deranged Leftists deliberately trying to find an excuse to swing the banhammer on people for no other reason than feel the weight of it in their hand, and the effect on the victim.

This is why they must be stripped of any power, forever.

Every leftist think it's a racist symbol. But every racist outside of 4chan doesn't know it's even supposed to be racist symbol. It's the shittiest "dogwhistle" imaginable.

In 2019, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) added it to a list of hate symbols, though the organisation noted its use can still be used to simply show approval of something.

Therefore "particular care must be taken not to jump to conclusions about the intent behind someone who has used the gesture", the ADL said.

Sometimes I wish for a meteor...

It’s sad that this disclaimer entails the most sensible thing any woke person or organization has said for ten years. Everyone else would go all soyjak NOOOOOOO “intent doesn’t matter, only impact! If I take it to be a hate sign, then that’s what it is!!!!”

It just means use it whenever it suits you to prosecute people.

Its also the ADL, so you know they only put it up there in case one of their own accidentally does it.

Everything else will not have context and intent taken into consideration.

The disclaimer only exists to shield their own from friendly fire when convinient.

Proof : any random person getting banned or fired for it despite the disclaimer.

Any player wearing the number 18 jersey should be fired as they are clearly secretly openly supporting AH.

All professional sports are inherently anti white at this point. Every team, every league, every owner, every division. They all hate you. Stop giving them money.
