    Of course there is and in many many others. It’s just considered fake nares when it contradicts the trump propaganda. I can’t figure if it’s willful ignorance or just a stupid fan base. ADE546C9-34FD-493C-90C5-1A6A55D19378.jpeg

    Oh, Thank God, at last a chance to reveal a bit of trivia I've been saving up FOREVER.

    The nation of Sierra Leone was founded in part by African Americans who fought for the British in the Revolution. Liberia, which sits side by side with it, was founded for African-American as a place to live after they were freed by racist abolitionists who didn't want them next door. Its capital is Monrovia, after the fifth president.

    This brings nothing to the conversation but it had to be said, I suppose.

    I agree with your first sentence, not the second. He wants his white supporters to hate those black guys.

    My very unscientific observation of the anthem thing suggests that kneeling is almost exclusively being done by visiting players.

    History is a bitch. Slavery began during the colonial era, 100 years before the USA was even a consideration. Slavery was part of North America longer as a British colony than as part of an independent USA

    I thought it was gutless.

    Can't argue with that, either.
