Internet racists freak out after NFL’s Marshall protests anthem: ‘This country is full of traitors’

Denver Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall became the first NFL player to kneel during the National Anthem before a regular-season game, joining former teammate Colin Kaepernick’s protest of systematic racism.

The camera lingered on Marshall’s silent protest at the start of the NFL season opener, pitting his defending Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos against the runner-up Carolina Panthers.

And Twitter racists lost their damn minds.

We can't try accused terrorists, we can't have sportsballers not show proper reverence, we can't guarantee the rights of all citizens, we can't let all citizens vote, and we need to be armed to the teeth, nationally and individually, because these assholes are so pants-wettingly frightened of everything.
