I urge everyone to watch this from the National Hockey League All-Star Game played in Chicago in 1991. Look at where we were and what has happened.

What a different world we live in. I’m done with professional sports. They’re dead to me and I have no interest in them or their sponsors.

The fans should really show their enthusiasm and sit out /tune out the whole game.

Wow. So a handful of twitter idiots claimed they’ll be sitting with no proof that they’re real people or they even have tickets. Yet the lib media rushes out a story.

If it were fans who were supporting something against their cause, they’d be investigating the tweets and doxing the fans. So biased and pathetic.

A lot of leftist destruction of our society and culture has been done in the last 25 years.

It’s really the perfect type of protest for our time. The call to sit on our ass and do nothing. Now it meant skipping coffee and doughnuts or making a sacrifice it would never work.

You are welcome. Look at the innocent child waving the flag around 1:32 of this clip and then look at an unappreciative millionaire playing with a football.

It is time to turn off the television.

If you can’t do that - you know what you are.

There are a lot of countries that have black only police forces. Why don’t they go live in one?
