Conservatives SILENT As 49ers Player Arrested For Beating A

[mryrcn]

I have not heard about this story at all. Granted I haven't been up to speed this week on the news but damnnnnn!

This should surprise no one. Of course they're letting the white guy get away with more.

I'm glad the 49ers released him. There are too many cases where that doesn't happen and it feeds this sense of invincibility that players seem to have. Shame on the fans who spoke out against Kaepernick and not this.

What a vile human being. And how disgusting that people who spoke out against a black man choosing a non violent protest are completely silent on a white man committing multiple acts of extreme violence.

Shared on FB. I hope my friends with asshole conservative friends (not all conservatives are assholes) will see this and share it on their timelines.

But it's all good as long as he's patriotic.

So, so shitty.

Livingston and Erika V. Hall found that, despite black players making up 65% of the NFL in 2010-11, they received 91% of the unsportsmanlike conduct penalties called after touchdowns that year. “Minorities are expected to do their jobs quietly, without making a fuss” says Livingston.

I was wondering about this while I was watching the game and reading the messiness on MMM.  Thanks for posting the article.

The Miller thing is vile. It popped up on several fantasy football sites/news alerts. It didn't make it to mainstream news that I saw.

So the fact that Miller beat up two innocent people must be okay, because he stands up for the national anthem. Good to know.

At least the 49ers got rid of him, I guess.

[pinkdutchtulips]

All of it over a freaking SANDWICH !!! that he could have easily purchased

Niners swiftly took care of that and released him. I hope NO ONE picks him up.

Yes,the silence is glaring. Wonder if tmz even covered it, they could probably find actual footage.

[picksthemusic]

It's all so convenient. And such utter bullshit.

Of course, I have to wonder if they'd have kept him if he could legit help them win, and how they'd spin it. I don't think waiving him made much of an impact on the team overall.

I did see it on a news site somewhere, but it was fairly quiet. I think the only reason I saw it is because I follow everything.

[gibbinator]

That's horrible. That poor old man (and his son).

Probably.  But at least now they can be all "look at us!  We are not okay with our current players assaulting innocent people and we show our displeasure by kicking them to the curb!  We're not part of what's wrong with the NFL!"

My bet is that this is one reason there is no conservative outrage. I can't guarantee that if the Niners kept him anyone would object a la Kaepernick, but I'd like to think there would be some measure of outrage even from those who seem to value arbitrary displays of patriotism above all. My bet is those who villainize Kaep would say "well the Niners took care of it, so 'sall good."

I went and found a different link to post on FB and ended up with ESPN. I read through it again and noticed that the excluded mentioning any of his previous charges (the spousal battery AND a vandalism charge) and talked all about his skills as a football player.

[isabel]

The hypocrisy is fucking unreal.

I mentioned the omission in my post and linked the ESPN post from LAST year about the prior arrest.

Agreed, man. Why do I continue to question the human race with almost-daily-increasing frequency?!?

[meshaliuknits]

Well, Twitter idiots were not silent on the topic the day he got dropped. There was a lot of nonsense that flew through my stream about why would they release Miller but keep Kap. Including one that said (paraphrasing b/c I can't find it): They released Miller who only disrespected one person, but kept Kapernick who disrespected an entire nation.

Meanwhile a 19 year old kid in Raleigh was murdered by a racist for walking down the street and the news reported that the victim had a charge from when he was 15 for shoplifting.

But the media's not biased.

I can't imagine how scary it would be to be randomly attacked my a NFL player. This is a fucking outrage, not Kapernik.
