Why stop there? Just normalize everything. We really shouldn't be picking and choosing. Someone will certainly be left out.

Bigots have no chill unfortunately.

Who are these "bigots" you are referring to?

What’s that?

I heard a celebrity was feeling a little frisky and unloaded his ar-15 into a case of eagles branded beer cans. If people don't post videos of their displeasure and threaten boycotts against these woke companies, then clear injustices like this mural will simply continue to happen and eventually be normalized and we certainly can't have that.

Yeah, nothing better than a team that's part of a league that actively excludes the group it paints a mural in support of....because of course they don't openly exclude them they just create a culture that keeps them in the closet. All that matters is the public support on social media, right?

The team is guilty of creating a culture of exclusion and keeping them in the closet? I bet it has nothing to do with fans who tell them to just focus on football.

You, on the other hand, seem very normal.

nor·mal

adjective

1.

conforming to a standard; usual, typical, or expected.

"it's quite normal for puppies to bolt their food"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Oddly enough, this is one definition that still hasn't been redefined. That makes the opposite of normal: abnormal

 

ab·nor·mal

adjective

deviating from what is normal or usual, typically in a way that is undesirable or worrying.

"participants with abnormal results were invited to undergo further diagnostic testing"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

So attempting to "normalize" what isn't normal is merely pretense. 

pre·tense

noun

1.

an attempt to make something that is not the case appear true.

"his anger is masked by a pretense that all is well"

Yeah, pretty much. They listen to the fans telling them and the league to exclude players who come out and paint a mural as a parting gift. Virtue signalling. Their actions don't back up what they painted.

I think it's pretty clear they're only willing to listen to frisky "celebrities" who shoot at beer cans with an assault rifle.

So are white people normal in the US? What about POCs?

It's the American way :) I guarantee that most of the triggered people up in arms don't even drink said beer... mostly because it sucks.

Perhaps.  I would also add that those screaming "bigot" are often the most intolerant, bigoted people out there.  They have zero room for any points of view that don't fit within their narrative.

Kid Rock I think. He's so manly.

Seems like a stable thing to do. With one good song in 25 years/ever you have to keep your name in the news somehow.

Who cares if it's on his property and not anywhere near other homes?

For the same reason this thread even exists. The mural is on private property and not near other homes and yet people are upset about "virtue signaling" and joking if they should be clapping, or asking why the team is trying to "normalize everything" and so on. 

I know it's the off-season, so there's really nothing else to talk about, but if you're more bothered by this mural than "frisky grandpa" shooting at beer cans, then that's pretty weird if you ask me.

The only thing upsetting about the mural is they didn’t change the color of the wings.

I actually think shooting at beer cans is pretty cool. Hope to one day have a big enough property to be so reckless. But his reasoning and why he recorded it... not so cool in my humble opinion.

Doesn't even look all that pride month to me. Just looked like they added a splash of color. Are we sure it's not for World Reef Day lol?
