As long as we remember Harambe

I think these fascists are trying to make him their "George Floyd". But unlike what the death of George Floyd represented (a wake-up call and a rallying chant against authoritarisnism, bigotry, institutionalized racism, and police brutality), this is a complete farse and a mockery, completely devoid of any meaning. He died for nothing except to give us some hilarious memes to laugh our asses off for no more than a week

[–] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 67 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I strongly disagree.

I'll be laughing for much longer than a week.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 34 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I smile when I think of the blood pouring from his neck.

Nazi lives don't matter.

[–] OctopusNemeses@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

There's no info about the shooter yet but I'm shutting up about Americans not taking action. At least for now.

[–] ch00f@lemmy.world 49 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My fuckwit uncle's response to comments about George Floyd was "well turns out he was an asshole."

So as long as someone's an asshole, it's okay to extra-judicially murder them.

[–] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is your fuckwit uncle internally consistent or a racist?

They're claiming it's their Reichstag fire.... They have somehow achieved a negative grasp of history. As in measured on a scale of 1 through 10, these people have a score of -5

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 week ago

to be fair this is also a wake up call for them.

if they fuck around, they might find out.

NFL and nhl are really showing how much they dig fascism. Can’t quite tell with the mlb but the cardinals sure as shit are so fuck them

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 40 points 1 week ago (3 children)

NFL is the Millionaire CTE Scramble anyway, so I ain't watching that shit.

[–] Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Not to mention how fucking boring that shit is. I love how nfl fans will say baseball is slow and then sit there like football isn’t the slowest fucking thing ever god damn that sport is a drab and doesn’t deserve the name “football”

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Baseball is even slower, IMHO

[–] Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nonetheless, football is still very slow

Baseball, where you can play a whole game without getting sweaty unless it's hot and humid out.

Always Fuck The Cardinals

(But I’m positive the owners of my Cubs are fascist too so fuck the Ricketts also)

[–] Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 week ago

It’s wild to have the same sentiment as a cubs fan. If there wasn’t the north south divide and ricketts being a cunt I’d probably just join up with you all to shit on the cards with how blatant they are about it. But hey, I’ve no qualms with being a White Sox fan. And I’m at stl as it comes so this is so fucking weird for me to be saying. Relish it, haha

[–] barooboodoo@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Fuuuuck, I'm gonna regret asking but what'd the NHL do?

[–] Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Pedo boy appointed bettman, gretzky, and tkachuk to some bullshit position to harass trans athletes essentially and I’m sure there’s a lot more shit.

[–] barooboodoo@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 week ago

I feel you. I fucking love hockey but fuck. I’m getting a stark reminder that a lot of athletes are the same kind of jocks I used to fuck up in high school as a punk

Got orders at work today to lower our flag to half staff in his honor. No mention of 9-11. This is a public school district :(

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 30 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Too bad the wires are malfunctioning and the message never arrived

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Also some damn kids tied knots in the flagpole rope, so that's gonna take a few days to fix

The last time I checked, and fuck me if I'm wrong, the NFL has several black athletes. What did kirk say about black people?

[–] shawn1122@sh.itjust.works 82 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Calling the Civil Rights Act of 1964 a "huge mistake"

Describing Martin Luther King Jr. as "awful" and "not a good person"

Stated "If I see a Black pilot, I'm going to think, 'I hope he's qualified'"

Claimed successful Black women like Joy Reid, Michelle Obama, and Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson were "affirmative action picks" who "do not possess the cognitive capacity to be taken seriously"

[–] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 32 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The league only cares about black athletes to the degree that it can profit off their performance.

Case in point: Colin Kaepernick knelt during the national anthem -- which was honestly an extremely mild form of protest -- and was immediately black-balled.

If they do care about black athletes, they clearly care about money a lot more.

Remind me who the owners... wait, don't. Let's just look at a picture of the owners of the nfl.

Then think about how 'just' their presentation goes. Compare the owner and the 'peripheral' employees. There's a better picture that I can't find that is often used in sociology classes, where the owner of a team is in the presence of the cheerleaders and the players, and it can't be beat for showing that if you're a rich man wanting slaves and concubines, owning a team is pretty much the next best thing.

The sports associations are fucked.

The fucking state of Virginia is calling for a moment of silence over this guy. What the hell is going on?

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 36 points 1 week ago

They're martyrizing him. Goal is probably civil war and trans genocide.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 34 points 1 week ago (11 children)

And to bury the Epstein birthday book. Did anyone realize that the emails between Maxwell and Epstein were released yesterday?

https://www.newsweek.com/epstein-emails-private-account-2128274

[–] damnedfurry@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Some messages made references to Trump, though they do not provide any evidence of criminal conduct.

Welp.

The article also doesn't mention those communications implicating anyone (alive) other than Maxwell, which isn't nothing, but definitely not the illumination people were hoping for, I don't think.

US sports (except maybe basketball) are very right-wing. I don't think they actually care one way or the other, but their audience is mostly boys and men, and boys and men are right wing these days, so the sports cater to that audience.

[–] livejamie@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 days ago

Studies have consistently shown a pretty even split, typically leaning Democratic. This trend aligns with American demographics and reflects the political landscape of the cities where these teams are located, which tend to be predominantly Democratic.

https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/how-every-nfl-teams-fans-lean-politically/ https://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/action_networks_nfl_fan_base_politics_survey_which_way_is_your_team_voting/s1_17354_40754216 https://archive.learcenter.org/nflpolitics/index.html

I assume you were being hyperbolic when you said that boys and men are right-wing.

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I have a good time watching the game but the commercials make me wince.

The salute the troops makes me gag.

The nationalism disguised as patriotism … it’s honestly getting to be too much.

I imagine people won’t like to hear it, but there’s no denying that major sports teams rely on the same “in-group/out-group” dynamic that fascism relies on.

It may be a more benign form (for the most part), but the whole “my sports team is better than yours!” Is definitely tribalistic in nature. It’s not surprising to me that many die-hard fans may revel in arbitrary social divisions in other facets of their lives.

I said they weren't gonna, and they didn't. We got a big ol flag display outside town, the towns proud of it. It goes to half staff when appropriate. It did not fly half staff yesterday.
