Thank you for the heads-up on that.

The bottom line for that group of my "fellow" PA residents is this - the last 3 sentences of the piece -

The NFL?

“Niggers for life,” Schilling said.

“For life,” McCabe added.

There is no "reaching out" to these people. Thanks to Faux, they were encouraged to be traumatized by a black President (despite voting for him in 2008 - if they really did "vote" at all - folks like these lie alot) and Drumpf became their (fake) blond-haired, blue-eyed "savior". He looks like them, acts as uncouth as them, and they feel comfortable with that type of persona. Sortof like voting for Archie Bunker to be in the WH.
