If it’s not shoving it in your face then why are they there? But you’re right, they are just words. They can say them all they want and you can get a tingle up your leg, but the crime will still be out of control and the schools will still suck. But some words got said. Like “hope and change”. Nothing changed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also if you think it stops with just words on a jersey you're a fool, there will messages, commercials, and constant reminders that back people don't understand why their violent society has so much police involvement. And for the record I don't want players wearing Trump socks or pushing their latest rap album. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That wouldn’t freak them out nearly as much as a “free Hong Kong” chant. Play would stop, they would go to commercial and those people would get tossed faster than you could say chop suey.

I always thought the "No Justice, No Peace" slogan I see on billboards and protest signs sounds like a terrorist threat. I know our leftist friends will tell us it comes from MLK, but BLM mutated it and truncated it to completely changed the meaning and not 1% of the population could accurately recite what MLK actually said. But hey, terrorist group vs. peaceful protests are a matter of perspective. But if it is your business being burnt down and/or looted it is a terrorist threat.
