hot take, I don't think there was a big conspiracy to shut him out. I think it's explained adequately by the teams that were in the market for a QB all independently doing the math & deciding that the value he'd bring over the next available QB wasn't worth their most racist fans going ape shitt.

I think "these people had genuinely great ideals and failed to uphold them in times it really mattered, it is not enough for us to believe in lofty principles, we must also walk the walk" is a really important lesson for us to teach students because otherwise we set ourselves up for moral decline.

RETVRN to traditional American multiculturalism

seriously though, their response to your statement is something to the effect of "Emma Lazarus was a commie globalist so her ideas aren't Real America"

it's like when radio stations refused to play "Wooly Bully" by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs because they couldn't quite tell what the lyrics were and it sounded FOREIGN and SALACIOUS and very possibly MEXICAN

these are people who have a vague yellow-tinted concept of "Mexico" which is where, in their minds, every brownish hispanohablante comes from

sorry about the dancing, such a shame it didn't live up to the family-friendly entertainment standards of giving a microphone, uh, CPR

hey hi, I criticize Israel all the time and to the best of my knowledge, I've never been called an antisemite for it.

it's super easy to criticize Israel without being antisemitic, ask me how!

did you know? people can commit war crimes without their ethnicity being Inherently Ontologically Evil.

is your position here REALLY "Israeli soldiers do terrible things, therefore one of the key slanders of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion is actually true"?

the current Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, isn't on their list despite issuing statements that merely call for peace, not the destruction of Israel.

this is most likely an oversight that will be zealously corrected by a basement dweller.

you are literally lying to Jews about what "chosen people" means in the context of our religion, and you are using Palestinian suffering and oppression as an excuse for this.

you DO know that the claim that Jews secretly think Gentiles are subhuman is straight out of the Protocols, right?

yeah only one group of trilobites made it through the late Devonian extinction events, and they never achieved the same success as before. they were HUGE (figuratively, sometimes literally) in the Ordovician.
Another #TrilobiteTuesday already? Well, no photomicrograph this time, just a vaguely educational meme.

In the public imagination, trilobites are emblematic of the distant past; the original Godzilla (1954) had them appear in the monster's footprints to emphasize it was a beast from long, long ago.

are you under the impression that American cops wouldn't abuse their power or commit brutality if not for those inherently wicked Israelis teaching them their vile foreign ways? it's not about criticizing a country any more; it's about finding ways to blame all of our own crimes & problems on THEM.
