Trump's America

[Traildogbob]

Sorry to bring up sports here but, last night a Philly basketball fan, white with a red 76’s hat on backwards, poured popcorn on Westbrook as he left game with ankle injury going through the tunnel. Westbrook wanted to beat his white ass, but multiple guards held him back. Poor deprived white boy pissed at wealthy black athlete.
Another incident at another game, a black basketball player on sideline, throwing the ball in was spat at. Y a fan. A year of whining about being locked out and when they are allowed back into an arena, they act like Trump towards the black athletes. Obviously blacks are taking jobs from them in sports.
I say let the athletes at them each time. Trump will pay their hospital bills.

1. Fan should be charged, or it will repeat and repeat. . . . nt

3. He was ejected

Should be for life. A spitter should be charged with assault, and threatening life during these times.

2. I hope those assholes were escorted out of the arenas

And told never to come back. There is no excuse for that behavior.

Yes Trump has brought out the worst in many people, it seems.

5. Here's an odd juxtaposition

Years ago, I went to a NY Knicks game. The crowd was mostly somewhat upper-financial-class with many wearing expensive business attire. During the game, the players on the court were practically brawling and several players were ejected. At the end of the game, the crowd politely and orderly left the arena.

A few days later, I went to opening day at the NY Mets and saw just the opposite. The players on the field were polite and restrained even though the crowd was remarkably rude to the visiting team. Many in the crowd were drunk and rowdy and I saw one guy get escorted out by security for throwing his drink at a player on the field.

I'm not really making a point, it was just an odd observation.

6. Philly

This is more of Philly fans doing what Philly sports fans do. Many don’t remember 9ers vs Eagles snow game. Eagles fans throwing batteries at niner fans and players. I was there. How about many years back a Phillies fan forced vomiting on a young girl? This has been going on in Philadelphia sports for as long as I’ve been alive! As much as I dislike that buttmunch Trump, he is not responsible for last nights behavior in Philly.

7. I remember that

I remember a standing ovation and cheering when they thought they broke Michael Irvin’s back and hopefully paralyzed.
Philly has a rep, but they are not the only assholes in AmerKKKa.
But Trump has certainly made it fashionable to treat black athletes as performers, only here to perform for them. Not humans.
Like I said, allow athletes to fight back.

8. Philly is a tough crowd.

They once booed Santa Claus.

9. Parallels the airline freakouts, the mask tantrums, the road rages, the racist incidents

Some people have decided it is their God Given Right as Americans to be assholes.

Wonder where they get that idea?
