To put some of this in perspective, my anonymous friend has sent me another link from the Cornell Law School: 18 US Code Section 227.
It addresses the wrongful influence on employment of a private individual by a member of Congress or the Executive Branch -- penalty being fine, prison up to 15 years, and/or disqualification from office.
Why do I say this?
Because the Piece of the Ultimate Shit has DONE IT AGAIN!
President Oompa-Loompa PussyGrabber withdrew his invitation for the Golden State Warriors to come to the White House after Steph Curry blasted him more new assholes after the rant in Alabama Friday night.
Saturday's developments:
- Bruce Maxwell has expanded the protests to baseball. He became the first major-leaguer to take a knee for the Anthem. (Deadspin)
- The Buffalo BIlls met tonight and, afterward, came out in support of the protests...

- Deadspin noted a number of Tweets from a number of parties in protest of the bloviating from Tiny Dancer... (Heck, if he can call Kim Jong Un "Rocket Man", we can all call him "Tiny Dancer". Hat-tip to my anonymous friend...)
Nice burn by LeBron James there. The first response was a Cracker noting James' grammar, and then putting "BLM = Blacks Looting and Murdering" and God knows what other tripe.U bum @StephenCurry30 already said he ain't going! So therefore ain't no invite. Going to White House was a great honor until you showed up!— LeBron James (@KingJames) September 23, 2017
- From the Executive Director of the National Basketball Players Association (the NBA union):
Steph: consider this withdrawal a badge of honor! #stephcurry @StephenCurry30 https://t.co/DRWndDDc7V— Michele Roberts (@MRobertsNBPA) September 23, 2017
To which some racist fuck actually asked "Are you still relevant?"... To REGGIE JACKSON!!!!— Reggie Jackson (@mroctober) September 23, 2017
- Steph “very well thought, and eloquently presented ”. Thank you for speaking for the majority. A “Mr October tip of the cap”
I'm not making this up. Not only that, but my anonymous friend (huge baseball fan) notes that Jackson usually doesn't make political statements like this at ANY TIME!
- It is also inspiring several further "Hell Freezes Over" moments for some sports fans:
A #POTUS whose name alone creates division and anger. Whose words inspire dissension and hatred can't possibly "Make America Great Again"— Kobe Bryant (@kobebryant) September 23, 2017
An hour later, he Tweeted another Twit's Tweet being a racist pig to him, but the jackass deleted the Tweet, Sherman correctly calling him out.The behavior of the President is unacceptable and needs to be addressed. If you do not Condemn this divisive Rhetoric you are Condoning it!!— Richard Sherman (@RSherman_25) September 23, 2017
- DeMaurice Smith, the NFLPA head, who just won a further term unanimously:

- Adam Schefter, with comments from the owner of the Miami Dolphins, Stephen Ross:

- Comments from John Mara and Steve Tisch, owners of the New York Giants, from Pro Football Talk:
“Comments like we heard last night from the president are inappropriate, offensive and divisive. We are proud of our players, the vast majority of whom use their NFL platform to make a positive difference in our society,” Mara and Tisch said.
- EDIT TO ADD: Robert Griffin III wins with this one:
Though I would make one alteration -- the majority of the Electoral College.Realize "Make America Great Again" is the newest reality tv show. Ratings high. Quality low. & the majority of America wanted this.— Robert Griffin III (@RGIII) September 23, 2017
- And the ultimate Hell Freezes Over moment, from Shaun King's Twitter: I AGREE WITH ROGER GOODELL!!!
