There Is No Law, The Brewing Race War: Black Lives Matter, And Sports Don't Wanna Hear That

(Time adjusted, as I periodically do, to put a larger story above.)

Two increasingly-disturbing stories regarding the current situation where the lack of the Rule of Law is beginning to disintegrate it's way into sports even further:

• Four freelance cops decided to show they were racist crackers in Minneapolis Monday night -- walking off the job at the WNBA Minnesota Lynx game after four players held a press conference trying to condemn police violence (both by and against!), and the entire team wore warmup jerseys saying:  "Change starts with us.  Justice and accountability."  (Deadspin)

So what the fuck is your problem, coppers?

I'd say that was an incredibly even-handed gesture (on both the press conference and the shirts!) by the Lynx players.  They not only condemn the actions by the police when they cross the line (justice), but they also call for the stuff against the police to stop (accountability).

Or is that part of the lack of Rule of Law?  It seems like this situation has mushroom-clouded since our next President, The Treasonous Rigged-Electioneer In Chief, got off scott-free with espionage through the FBI and because the Establishment and Wall Street (of whom she's a high-grade hooker -- at least in the political sense!) need to keep the money train going as long as they can.

But that's another article.

• Some Canadian baseball fans are pissed tonight.  "The Tenors" were in San Diego tonight, singing "O Canada" for the All-Star Game tonight.  They changed some of the lyrics, video at Deadspin through Bill Cooney of Toronto:

Second part of the main verse is usually:

"With glowing hearts we see thee rise
 The true North strong and free."

This was changed, by a soloist among The Tenors, to:

"Where all brothers and sisters
 All lives matter to the great."

And while doing so, according to the CBC, he held up an All Lives Matter sign.

"All Lives Matter" is seen as a White Power rejection of the Black Lives Matter movement -- The Tenors are all Caucasian.

IS SOMEBODY TRYING TO START THE FUCKING RACE WAR?

This is probably the one and only time it might actually have done Fox good not to air a national anthem in a space like this.  Normally, it would be shameful to Canadian baseball fans in this context.  Here, it might've saved people's necks.

UPDATE 11:25 PM PDT 7/12:  The member of The Tenors who did this is, at minimum, suspended, if not FIRED!
