    Rich NFL pros have every right to protest by dissing the flag and America.
    It certainly helps Trump politically.

    LOL.

    You don't get what constitutes 'proof' do you?

    Every trump supporter has to wear the hat otherwise they're ashamed to wear them?

    How about this.....they don't wear the hat because psychopath lefties attack them and this proves lefties are crazy.

    This thread the lawsuit are about over the top DP hate and slander.

    "First, on Thursday night, Buzzfeed published a sensational scoop alleging that President Trump suborned the perjury of his former lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen. As dozens of reputable media outlets and many more media personalities on Twitter pronounced over the following day, this was an act that if true would be a very big deal."

    "By early Saturday afternoon, this video had inspired frantic spasms of denunciation on Twitter — of the indisputably racist teenagers, of their obviously bigoted Catholic school in Kentucky, of the transparently misogynistic and hate-filled pro-life movement, and indeed of anyone who dares to wear a MAGA hat in public. ... Even after longer, fuller videos of the confrontation emerged, showing that the import of the event was far less clear-cut than the initial hot takes assumed, the tweet-mob continued to eviscerate the high schoolers, pronouncing their faces worthy of a good punch."

    "In 1984, George Orwell famously described a totalitarian political order in which people were kept as docile subjects in part by a daily ritual called "Two Minutes Hate" in which the population directs all of its pent up fury at "Goldstein," a possibly fictional enemy of the state."

    it's over the MAGA hat being seen by many as racist, and this lawsuit being tossed out.

    this case was over a child that was wearing it and being seen as racist in error because of a single shot photo that did not tell the entire story - but adding in the NFL drama seems like a new topic

    there was a group of people grossly attacking the kids earlier and I think the kids thought the Indian was part of that group and the Indians thought the kids were racist because of the hat, I think both sides misjudge the other - i think both sides should really be against the first group that was viciously attacking the children - everyone seems to have forgotten about the real group that started all this, which was not the children or the Indian drummer

    Anyone who actually believes the MAGA hats are racist has been fooled by LW orchestrated Fake Hate.

    "Smollett’s lawyers have issued a statement insisting these reports are false. “Nothing is further from the truth and anyone claiming otherwise is lying,” they wrote. But Chicago police have declared a significant shift in “the trajectory of the investigation.”

    Until this twist, smart people were claiming that the attack on Smollett was the story of Donald Trump’s America writ small—that it revealed the terrible plight of minority groups today. But the Smollett story, if the “trajectory” leads to evidence of fakery, would actually reveal something else modern America is about: victimhood chic. Future historians and anthropologists will find this aspect of early-21st-century America peculiar, intriguing, and sad."

    I think some that wear them are racist, and sadly that has give the hat a bad name, Trump has not helped the mater any - but I agree, most that wear the hat are not racist and in fact just showing support for Trump, nothing more, nothing less

    people like this give the hat a bad name

    I did not have Obama bumper stickers or wear anything political cause some also just attack you for having different political views anymore (both sides), key your car, stuff like that, just not worth it

    Cruz should have been red flagged years before the shootings. He was a very visible well known threat, and should have been committed to a secure psychiatric facility.

    In an age saturated with hate Cruz was a sponge.

    reagan wanted to make loony bins privatized for profit along side prisons so it didn't cost the taxpayer money.

    criminals and loons would have been rehabilitated with caning and been productive members of capitalism behind those walls.

    So Sandman is throwing mud against the wall. I wish the lad all the best; hopefully they get the issue resolved at some point this century.

    IOW, he released dangerous psychotics. The rest is just irrelevant speculation.

    Solution: Lock them up.

    Lock up dangerous psychotics until they are no longer dangerous psychotics.
    IOW, until the "twelfth of never" if that is what it takes.

    That's why we have a Congress. It should pass The Dangerous Psychotics Shall be Locked Up "Until the Twelfth of Never" Act of 2019.
