    Maybe if they had a moment of silenece for the civilians in Palestine and Israel, this wouldn’t have happpend. But clearly they dont give a shit about Israeli war crimes, so of course this would happen

    “The NFL mourns the loss of innocent lives in Israel and strongly condemns all forms of terrorism,” the league said. “The depravity of these acts is beyond comprehension, and we grieve with the families of those killed, injured and still missing. We pray for peace and will always stand against the evils of hate.”

    The interruption, calling attention to the Free Palestine movement, comes after thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters have taken to the streets across the United Kingdom on Saturday, including in London and Manchester

    This is the reason France and Germany banned pro-Palestinian gatherings - the old propaganda narratives aren’t working as well as it used to.

      Billions from the air force? That’s a huge reach, dude. The aircraft they fly over are already going to fly anyway so the pilots meet their minimum flight hours. They use it as training to be at a location at exactly the right time, as if striking a target.

    Man, the NFL just can’t stop themselves from siding against the people, this is like the third time in a row this has happened.
