So I live in Dallas Ft Worth area and the local teams subreddits are full of people praising them for not playing out of protest. I know it’s just two days but I find myself less and less interested. I’m all for free speech and take a knee if you want to but the narratives are absurd. Painting America as some evil racist country is ridiculous.
Maybe the cops in the Blake and Floyd case weren’t totally in the right but the fact is that Floyd and Blake chose to put themselves in those situations.
As an almost 40 year old black guy I’ve been attacked for saying that maybe if we focused on the disturbing stats about black crime rates there wouldn’t be as many issues with cops. Or why not tell people to comply and not violently resist.
Finally it’s too bad the owners of these teams can’t say protest on your own time like my job would.
I don't have the attention span to watch a full game of any of the major sports, but I used to (and still do) check up on the subreddits of the NBA, baseball, hockey, et c. because I like the narratives going on: something to spend a part of my time on. However, with things like the boycotts in the American major sports leagues, it's getting tiresome to hear about things like social justice when I know the revolution going on here isn't all that it seems (which makes things like Jonathan Isaac being the only one to stand up for the national anthem during a game a breath of fresh air).
Because of all this confusion and politically-charged chaos-causing, I'm pretty much frequenting only r/soccer until further notice since that sub covers lots of other association football leagues that don't get duped so much by the alt-left/globalist platform.
