He has a comment further down that reserving seats for the 13 servicemen and women that were killed in Afghanistan may be political too.


Sort of, but yeah... his reply to the guy who posted the reserved seats pic was just stupid.

Guy says this (referring to the reserved seats):
quote:

I guess this was political too?


Justin Lee says this:
quote:

It depends: do you think that when the players said "black lives matter", that was a political statement?

It's about hypocrisy.



The correct answer, Mr. Lee, is just "No. Reserving seats for fallen servicemen and women is not political." Then, if he still wanted to make his point, he would elaborate on why he felt the carrying of the flag was (which I disagree with - I don't think it's political).

Instead he went right to the moral outrage, instead of seeing the point the man was making. Carrying the flag out isn't political; now, if the player right behind it was carrying a banner reading, "If you don't love America you should leave!" then yeah, that'd be political.

You're as big a monkey dump as that UCF prick.

I prefer to think that it came up organically and someone volunteered to carry the flag out of the tunnel.


Here's a direct quote from the article he is bitching about where it explains the reasoning:
quote:

The player carrying the American flag will be selected for his unifying force that represents Auburn’s highest standards and ideals.

The player carrying the Auburn flag, or “Battle Cry flag”, will represent all it means to be an Auburn Tiger.




So, yeah, Justin Lee is just trying to score his woke points on Twitter.

The trouble is this arsehole will climb the media corporate ladder partly because of his crap woke politics. Then one day he will suddenly be calling the shots at ESPN and forcing his view of the world into all living rooms. … (naahhh no sports network would think it wise to priss off its core viewer base… )

I wonder why everything I like about my country is suddenly “political” and must be banned, while everything I dislike about what is happening must be tolerated?

National anthem, flag respect, history, statues of dead great men, statues of dead maybe great men, church, pride in what the US gave to the world, honor, straight talk, look level in others eyes, shake hands (not Covid hug other men), don’t spike the ball, sportsmanship, open doors for and stand up when ladies come in room, don’t dress like homeless, don’t dress like a street walker or rock singer and think that is “dressing up.”

BLM, antifa, orange paint on public statues, Columbus statues beheaded, CRT in 2nd grade classrooms, FBI tracking every person at capital hill riot while ignoring Hilary server, Biden computer, IRS, antifa rioters, massive overseas organized phone scams of seniors, etc. be dismissed? Not to mention coaches with after-sex pictures all over the internet, STTDB being chanted in national TV, etc.,

Guess to a old fogey now…,

Woke points.
Rage points.

He'll get retweets and hits from both sides of the fence.

I mean, hell - he got linked over here.
I scanned his twitter feed, and most posts had about 10-11 likes (tops) and 0-1 comments.

This will get retweeted and linked many, many times over.

Every time I see a tweet/post like this, I'm reminded of a Penny Arcade comic:

Small town paper like that people need to hit up the local businesses that advertise in that rag and let them know if they continue to support this dipshit their businesses will suffer.

(I'm sure our "above the gray!" moderates on here will tell us just to ignore types like him.)

Why is running out with the flag considered a political statement?


Years of USSR-inspired academic fringe theories are now maturing.

I heard he would breathe in air as well, maybe people who feel this strongly should boycott that as well.
