FOOTBALL PLAYER SAYS HE PUNCHED WOMAN FOR CALLING HIM A NIGGER
De’Andre Johnson”€”which is French for “Of Andre Johnson””€”was Florida State’s quarterback until last week, when he was fired after videotape emerged of him punching a blonde woman in the face at a Tallahassee bar.

But now his lawyer is claiming that De’Andre would never have hit the woman if she hadn”€™t called him a “fucking nigger,” so expect all to be forgiven. After all, O. J. Simpson likely got away with murdering a white woman simply because a police detective assigned to his case once said “nigger.”

RUGBY PLAYER CATCHES HEAT FOR SAYING JEWS KILLED JESUS
Jarryd Hayne is a former Australian rugby star who is attempting to transition into American football by trying out for the San Francisco 49ers.

But as everyone knows, the primary role of athletes these days is to make Jews feel comfortable, so Hayne may have nailed himself to a cross recently when he tweeted that it was Jews who killed Jesus Christ:

Jesus wanted to help people but was killed by his own people.

After facing criticism for this tweet, Hayne refused to back down:

The Jews were the people who took him to the Romans n [sic] forced them to give the order because they couldn’t.

If you substitute “some Jews” for “the Jews,” what Hayne wrote is technically correct and unassailable.

But to Dvir Abramovich, Chairman of the B’nai B’right Anti-Defamation Commission,” Hayne’s simple comments are “repulsive…damaging, painful, and irresponsible”:

Rather than fueling anti-Semitism, we need sportspeople to be powerful voices in countering racism and Jewish-hatred, especially when attacks against Jews worldwide are on the increase.

One day”€”probably not soon enough”€”the world may return to a sort of sane stasis where the primary role of “sportspeople” is once again seen as “playing sports.”
