ReplyDeleteHonoring a thug and his misdeeds!
ReplyDeleteMore NFL depravity.
Great role models!
another wonderful reason why everyone should be watching the NFL (sarcasm)
ReplyDeleteThis kid was involved in kicking a bus driver same day he died, breaking into an old ladies home just before he died, he was no good why does this honoring him make any sense. I can understand his family is saying they love him but he wasn't even living with them. KNOW THE TRUTH IT WILL SET YOU FREE.
ReplyDeleteThey honor criminals LOL
ReplyDeleteThis is what they call the social injustice in the United States. This is why they just need to go away
ReplyDeleteAnother reason to not watch / attend NFL. Refused to recognize Police but allow to recognize thugs. Where is the uniform code?
ReplyDeleteIgnorant man...and ignorance breeds ignorance...
ReplyDeleteHe can honor my left ....,will not be watching anyway
ReplyDeleteLately, the way NFL players have been acting I actually believe they really are brain damaged.....
ReplyDeleteHonor that thug and not let players honor police or 911. The drain will clear all this up. One more reason not to watch these ass h*les. My mother always said if you can't say something nice keep your mouth shut. They should learn this. But that's ok their pocket book will fill the pain. That is a good thing. (map)
ReplyDeleteHow about some MLK cleats? Richard Pryor? Jimi Hendrix? Fats Domino? The list goes on.
ReplyDeleteBut, But, But if i had a son, he would look like Trayvon Martin. so lets all honor a criminal ground and pound drug dealing thieving thug.
