Funny I never considered race either until I saw all the black people bent out of shape online that that terrible white boy cracka Brady won again during black history munff.

Oof.

I was amazed at how many people replying didn't get that these posters were joking. I figured it out in less than one second (I know you guys did too) and these people, who had the luxury of actually getting to think about it before replying, are so stupid and addicted to outrage that it just doesn't register and they can't stop themselves from sticking their feet in their mouths. This is why I blame citizens in general for things that happen instead of politicians and "leaders".

Joking?

I think not.

Maybe Goodell will move the Super Bowl to March to avoid offending anyone.

Alright... stupid comments from stupid people.

Why even give it the time of day? Just ignore it.

I visited the tweets from these people and it seems like they tweeted it to get mentions and clicks... that's their goal and you're giving it to them.

I commented on one of the Tweets and the guy who started it replied to me, laughing that people get fooled by things that are so obviously jokes.

Other than enjoying pointing out their own racism, I do ignore it.

I only bring it up because you said this acting like there wasn't anything happening:

Well I suppose that's one person's take on last night's events.

Funny, I watched a bit of it and race never crossed my mind once. Never even considered it.

Ok... so a handful of dumb people had dumb takes on Twitter. Is that really "something happening?" or is it just dumb people posting dumb things to get mentions? It's not like anyone mainstream was out their touting that take or it took any hold whatsoever.

Just random, insignificant people sending you into a tizzy.

I think I'll go with choice B there, except that I would've added another "dumb" before "mentions".
