    It's like the guy comes to cut the grass and says I'm going to do a new fangled soil test today and it will take an extra 30 minutes.

    You tell him skip that and get busy and cut the grass, I'm paying you to cut the grass.

    Being lectured on racism when trying to just enjoy a sporting event is likely to make a person more racist.

    Fact.

    Aside from blacks assaulting whites on a daily basis of course

    I guess you are bothered by people that you don't agree with exercising their 1st Amendment rights while people that you do agree with are exercising their 1st Amendment right. That's just a little hypocritical. It's not about racism. It's about customer service and the customer are tired of the interjection of politics into every issue every minute of every day. They are there for soccer, not a protest. The racism schtick is getting old and people are getting tired of it. The left has rode that horse into the ground.

    Agree. In fact I'm pretty worried that the whole progressive movement will make some whites have the wrong reaction and turn into actual racists.

    It doesn't take much of a stretch to assimilate those BLM sleazebags with black people in general. In fact it's even supported by statistics, I saw once that 83% of blacks support BLM. How would people react if 83% of whites supported the KKK? That's basically what's going on here, and it's not pretty.

    Of course there's a very easy way to not be a racist : just be an individualist. But it's not easy to remain an individualist when facing blatant collectivists...

    If someone offers you drugs, say No to drugs.

    Racism was never offered!

    Personally, I am sick and tired of even hearing about "black" issues. I just groan and roll my eyes any time I hear it anymore. Its just a dead horse that has been beaten to a pulp. If anything its made me totally apathetic.

    From the BLM website....try reading that. Do you think the nuclear family should be "deconstucted"? They do. They mention "parents", "mothers" but "father" is too bad of a word to include in the mix.

    BLM is no good for people of any race....especially blacks.

    How is it being self centered to not want politics and current events shoved down your throat at EVERY SINGLE avenue?

    Folks watch sports, movies, TV, etc for relaxation and a temporary escape from the normal grind of daily life. If I want to hear about politics or current events then I'll watch the news or come to places like this forum. I don't want to see that stuff when I'm trying to watch sports, or buy something on Amazon, or watch a show on Netflix.

    In fact, it's more self centered of those who believe that during every facet of your life you WILL be bombarded with politics and social issues regarding a specific ideology that YOU feel everyone should follow.

    You'd almost think the "boo'ers" beat up a minority or even a white!

    Now combine this with how we hear how bad and "privileged" we are, every damn time we turn around and multiply it by the day. Are they trying to piss us off and make us not give a damn?

    By the OP's "logic", not only are you a racist, you're making America a haven for racists.

    And, yes, I know you're Black...

    As a white man you think there is very little racism because it doesn't effect you. You're not racist because your white, white said that? Trump has brought alot of that racism back to the forefront.

    Trump has brought zero racism out. This myth belongs to obama.

    At least she is black. Most BLM folks are clueless white kids.

    A lot of 'em are Marxist ANSWERniks just like Patrice Cullors and her comrades at BLM. Ultimately, they all share the same goals and agenda.

    Fixed it for you. :banana:

    Frankly, since you see racism everywhere you look in the US, I would think that you might have said we don't like soccer because we are racists. I'm sure you're thinking it, and perhaps you have already mentioned it as I have not yet read the entire thread.

    Im not a marketing specialist but I highly recommend that MLS does not strike, right there with WNBA, dont want to lose all 11 of your fans.

    Honestly i had forgotten totally about US soccer, but i do watch world cup occasionally, maybe 3 or 4 games.

    Literally no one cared that Obama was half black. His policies and weakness were total trash. That why he is despised by so many. He was smug about being stupid.

    What don't you understand about what has been explained to you over and over. It's an ENTERTAINMENT EVENT and the fans could care less about the feel good political positions of the players or owners and don't pay good money to have it shoved down their throats.

    Why does EVERYTHING have to politicized? They should stick with what the are good at and what the fans actually pay their money for.
