“Take That Nigger Off The TV, We Wanna Watch Football!”: Idiots Respond To NBC Pre-Empting Sunday Night Football
Timothy Burke
NBC pre-empted the first quarter of tonight's 49ers-Patriots game to show President Obama's speech at the Newtown memorial for victims of the Sandy Hook shooting. As you might expect, many football fans didn't take kindly to this. (So, too, some Bob's Burgers fans.) Here are those idiots, led by someone who claims to be a Division II football player in the state of Alabama. [Update: UNA says he's no longer a member of the team.]

4. This one is news to me

Not familiar with it.

Mack Brown kicked a kid off the UT football team for an election night racist Facebook post in 2008.

9. I'm slow here, what does UNA stand for?

[Ruby the Liberal]

11. I think North Alabama?

Buzzfeed was posting about it and they added that link as a followup.

2. meh... du will be sexist and call them all p***y, that will show them. jury...

10. Does your cursor skip around? Mine does too. You need to

proofread after you write and before you hit "post my reply".

3. What a F'ed up society we've become in many areas. n/t

[nc4bo]

6. At least for jackass racist jock, there are consequences... he's enjoying that discovery now.

wish it were so easy everywhere else.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

23. Become?

I believe that we have always been this way. The problem is that every once and a while the bile and hatred seeps to the surface to expose itself: a septic souffle.

Humans are really poetically ignorant.

[RKP5637]

25. Yep, that's a very good point. It's always under the surface. n/t

[Fridays Child]

5. Can these people be identified?

If so, I hope they're fired.

7. I thought President Obama was going to speak only to the families and not be broadcast?. . .

The event is closed to the public and open only to victims' families. Obama will not make any public appearances in Newtown, the White House said..

From Jay Carney, the White House press secretary, released this statement: "Tomorrow evening the president will travel to Newtown, CT to meet with the families of those who were lost and thank first responders. The president will also speak at an interfaith vigil for families of the victims as well as families from Sandy Hook Elementary scheduled for 7PM EST. More details will be released as they are available."

15. He spoke to the families privately first, according to NPR

I was tuned in on my way home from a Christmas concert, and NPR said he and the families had some alone time beforehand. Until I got home and for some time after, there were lots of interfaith clergy speaking. A rabbi, a Muslim cleric and his young son, two Bahai, Methodists, Lutherans, a Catholic monsignor, and so on. The rabbi was speaking while I was on the freeway and it just about undid me. Anyway it looks like Newton has a good strong interfaith alliance there.

As for the President, I urge you to listen to the entirety of his speech/prayer if you can. As I've said elsewhere, it was like watching a man walk a tightrope without a safety net. Very, very gutsy. There was silence -- sobs -- a standing ovation. He "went there" and spoke the truth about this great evil that besets us.

26. anyone know where a link for the whole thing can be found?

I was only able to see a very small portion of it.

[Hekate]

28. It's posted at the link below

8. Gotta love social media. Very illuminating. -nt

[Initech]

17. Yup, really lets you know what people really think.

[Arcanetrance]

12. If it was that big of a deal to watch the game

At the beginning of the broadcast they said when the president came on the game would switch to cnbc and nbc sports during the speech. Second point as big of a football fan as I am he'll I played the game from Peewee to 1 year college but there was a tragedy a mass loss of life that's more important than a game.

[marybourg]

13. They do that to get attention. Ignore them; they'll grow up

eventually.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

24. They'll grow up eventually.

Sadly, I disagree with that. They grow up and teach it to their young: starting the whole process over.

[MADem]

14. I despise racists. How ironic that they want to watch black folk play football, but they can't

spare a moment to listen to one of the world's most influential leaders? Those aren't all caucasians and asians on that football field, not by a long shot.

I get annoyed when Jeopardy gets pre-empted by a bunch of moronic turds stuffed into three piece suits, huddled around a glass table talking SPORRRRRRRTS!!!!!!!!! during pre-game shows, but I don't engage in racist invective because of it.

[nc4bo]

16. Thought exactly the same thing MADem.

What that idiot said made absolutely no sense whatsoever.

And I don't even want to get into what his team mates may have thought of his little commentary. I'm sure he has quite a few black folk sharing his field.

ugh.

[Initech]

19. Ya know, I like baseball and football as much as the next guy, but there are other things in my life

These racist dipshits need to get over themselves - 20 kids were brutally murdered and all they care about is football. Really, they are extremely fucking up.

[alp227]

33. And the first quarter was quite bad.

http://espn.go.com/nfl/playbyplay?gameId=321216017

Two lost fumbles, interception, missed field goal, not much to see anyway. Those idiots wasting time with racist tweets could've as easily gone to ESPN.com to look up the slow first quarter anyway.

[msongs]

18. is this the official response from the NRA? nt

[ecstatic]

20. That's ridiculous, for many reasons. Are the football teams they so desperately want

to watch all white?

[Initech]

21. I think the Secret Service might be interested in that thread. Where do I report?

[davidn3600]

22. Nothing will change. 45% of households own a gun.

Despite what people here are demanding, we are not going to get any meaningful gun control.

We are already desensitized to these shootings. Most Americans are ready to move on with their lives and watch their football games.

[pstokely]

29. What kind of guns?

AR-15s or Super Soakers?

[rocktivity]

27. "Get that nigger president off the air so we can keep watching the nigger football players!"

30. And the morons don't even realize it was a decision by NBC, not Obama

What complete morons!

[RexDart]

31. As a massive Niner fan

I think NBC made the right call in breaking away. That speech was way more important then any game. If you were too stupid to figure out where the game was after they told us six times - I have no sympathy. Both my wife and I thought the speech very well done. Then the game picked up and became the match that was advertised.

[young_at_heart]

32. They evidently think such disrespect is perfectly fine

It's hard not to feel overwhelming anger at these 'comments'. These people are less than human!

[Takket]

34. did any of these morons realize the game was shown on NBC's sports network on cable?

probably not if they are that stupid.

[Takket]

35. i can't find any of these ppl. twitter must have deleted them. -nt-
