Black lives matter?
No, more racism!
This is the better version of the joke.
That's a good one. I actually thought they did it as a weird protest until I saw the source.
The Onion has lost all credibility since a couple of weeks.
EDIT: Geez you people don't like jokes... I'm saying this because reality got so stupid lately that even The Onion can't go far enough. And it's the very nature of satire not to be credible. That's what the joke was all about, it's.... The Onion lol. Also fuck you all if you're trigerred by this.
How? This isn't even from the Onion. Also, how can a satire news source have credibility?
I call it humor.
I call it humor.
Congrats, you’ve just experienced your first time “bombing” it’s something every aspiring comedian experiences. Write better jokes.
Nah, I still think it's a good joke, sorry. But you user name checks out lol.
But you user name checks out lol.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I see you’re as original as you are funny.
I'm just jocking lol. There's many reason to be mad right now, a bad joke (there I'm admitting it) isn't a good one.

My dude… You told a bad joke, you got downvoted for it, and started whining about how nobody understood your joke. Nobody seems mad except you.
I take it back, it was a good joke actually. BTW you're the one who got all triggered over this.
Does someone tie your shoes for you, or are they Velcro?
ZeroCool your username has lost all credibility since a couple of hours. you are, in fact, cool

It wasn't
Satire sites don't lose by losing credibility ... they lose by gaining credibility
It was a joke lol....
We don’t live in that world.
This is either an amazing joke, or a really stupid statement.
I felt the joke was really obvious...
You're one of the stranger trolls I've encountered
It's.... a J O K E... Damn people get triggered easily.
When no one likes your joke, don't blame the audience.
Right. I'll avoid humor from now on.
That's certainly one way to respond to feedback

What part of "satire" could be called credible?
I don't understand how so many of you even took this seriously.
I can't speak for others, but I have autism and interpret things literally unless there are obvious signs of a joke. I'm one of the people that benefit from textual tone indicators.
Fair enough. It's the nature of satire not to be credible, and that's what the joke was all about.
Just wanted to say that I understood your joke immediately and it gave me a good laugh. Irony in text is tricky. These are triggering times so I can see how people got confused...
Lol thanks. I wasn't expediting so much reaction for this. I mean it's The Onion...

Their second option was 'no mo' racism.
I still think it makes no sense to write ~~political~~ non-sports slogans on a football pitch. (Not that I support racism)
Edit: Ok I'm clearly missing some US-specific sports context here.
Quite frankly it's flat out scary that you think that saying 'racism is bad' is politics.
Fundamental human rights, and a basic respect for human beings regardless of what race they were born as, is not politics. People who want to make it politics should have the ever living fuck smacked out of them at minimum.
'political' was probably a bad choice of word on my part because I agree that whether racism is bad needn't be up for debate. The point I was trying to make was more that this proclamation has nothing to do with football. They could plaster a hundred other agreeable slogans like 'end fossil fuels', 'tax the rich' etc. across the pitch but I don't think it's something the football goer would appreciate.
No, because end fossil fuels and tax the rich are not universal, inarguable, basic human rights.
And if the football goer doesn't appreciate the words 'end racism' or has a problem with it, they should have the ever living fuck smacked out of them.
You're really over complicating this.
Put the shovel down, please. Racial justice and sports have an extremely long history. You are either uneducated on the subject or trolling extremely hard. Racism in sports is an ongoing issue both domestically and worldwide, pretending they aren't related is insane.
Saying racism is bad is not politics. It's common sense.
Exactly, that's why I don't see the point of such a sign being displayed at a football pitch where people go to watch football (and not to think about racism) – because it should be obvious that racism is bad wherever.

You witness a huge political display at the start of every game. The NFL was paid by the department of defense for the athletes to be present on the field for the anthem.
When someone yells racial slurs at games do you just tell them to keep politics out of the stadium?

Hmm keep politics out of sports?
glances national anthem being played
It's extremely bizarre to play a national anthem at a national game. If it was international I would understand.
For USA/CAN NHL games it makes sense, Nashville versus Tampa does not.
Cover your ears as the jets fly over
So you're agreeing racism is part of the GOP platform then?
