    Never heard of this show before now, but I don't watch mainstream TV. Is there a show called White-ish? How about Brown-ish? Yellow-ish?

    Trina Solar is a chi-com company. It's profits are used to manufacture weapons to be used to kill American soldiers, Marines, sailors and airmen in the near future.

    Isn't he holding a soccer ball?
    That's only a football in Europe.
    The NFL is American.
    So that guy in the picture is a liberal European watching a soccer game in Europe.

    Those sources put out more anti-Hillary news than anti-Trump.

    And Fox liars continue to spew lies and fake news about Obama and Hillary. Even your hero Trump admits he made up the fake truther [sic] campaign story about Obama being born in Africa.

    You'd kinda think that dealing with the Kaepernick Imbroglio and its effect on NFL ratings might give some pause. Since it isn't, you have to wonder if perhaps someone is trying to cause the NFL's ratings and value to drop faster than a liberal triggered by Trump's name in chalk on the sidewalk.

    Let's face it, at least some of the charm of sports is the fact that, up until this point, it's been mostly apolitical. You root for one team against the other, and that's that. But throw politics into it, and boom - now you're in danger of losing half (if not more) of your audience. Does the name "Dixie Chicks" bring up any memories to some people that really ought to know better? Hey, it's not like I watch much TV anymore, but you'd think someone in charge would know better than to pull this. *shrugs* - whatever.

    Based on your post, I guess it's also a proven fact liberals don't even know what a football looks like. Here's a hint:

    But the OP is about NFL American football. You can't make fun of conservative American football watchers by showing a picture of a European liberal watching soccer. He's even drinking European liberal beer.

    Why are republicans so angry when people criticize Trump? Keep it up and people will call this a cult.

    The "lazy" quote was second hand, so could be true or a lie, either one. Whether you choose to believe it or not is more a reflection of your own mind - like bistable perception. That's why I tend to presume those who keep accusing everyone of being racists are seeing them through their own racist mind.

    Trump says stuff I don't agree with, but I don't find it offensive, necessarily: just because he criticized someone who happens to have dark skin, it doesn't mean he's a racist. I think it means he's critical. Are you saying that blacks can't tolerate criticism? I thought we were all created equal.

    Are you taking vocabulary lessons from the posts? Because please allow me to help... whining, snowflakes, babies - all those words are descriptives for the Left. It's like you are pointing at an elephant and calling it a donkey.

    You'll have to back that up with a link. I've never seen it in print from a republican, or the accusation made by MSM against anyone but the Trump supporters, nor has any Republican politician heaped the names on the Democrats.

    Calling someone a racist is like calling them a murderer - one better have some solid evidence. But because so many people on the left are so cozy and comfortable with the word, it looks like they are wrapping themselves up in it and owning it.

    The "progressives" are imploding, and in the process there will be collateral damage such as the politicized NFL taking a hit to its ratings (revenue).

    It will sort itself out. The NFL will learn its lesson, as its revenue takes hit the NFL will drop its political pandering and go back to its purpose in life - football.

    I tend to boycott anything that becomes politicized when that isn't their economic purpose. For example, there was no need for Macy's and Target to take sides in the election. Their job is to sell rags. Shuddup and sell. So I don't shop there any longer.
    Same with actors. What idiots they are at the Golden Globes - instead of saying something interesting, they use the spotlight to bash Trump. Who cares... now I don't want to see them anymore because they've broken the magic. She's not Margaret Thatcher now, she's some rude and narcissistic airhead. She should shuddup and perform.

    That wont be hard I literally just learned this show even existed.

    If I had channel surfed upon it I would have just assumed it was a re-run of "Martin".

    Bunch of stereotypical g-rated ghetto humor delivered by a squawking so loud you could still hear it with the TV on mute.

    Maybe you should pay more attention to the statistics.

    2010 U.S Census [10]Table 1[11]

    Self-identified race Percent of population


    White alone 72.4%
    Black or African American 12.6%
    Asian 4.8%
    Native American and Alaska Natives 0.9%
    Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders 0.2%
    Two or more races 2.9%
    Some other race 6.2%
    Total 100.0%

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_ethnicity_in_the_United_States

    Blacks are over represented in the U.S society.

    They're vastly over represented in the U.S public sector. They were given preferential treatment when it comes to federal civil servants employees. Statistics do not lie. Nothing to do with the race. Blacks have very little reasons to complain about inequality these days. It's hypocritical.

    It's a foolish, juvenile show.

    I'm sure it will be off the air in a few months.
