This thread may get locked ASAP but I’m going to ask anyway...
When is the BS going to stop? The Minnesota Vikings are wanting to create a George Floyd scholarship. My question is why? Was he some kind of cultural icon, did he live an exemplar life before all this started? No he did not, was he a several time CONVICTED FELON yes...
So here’s my question, the next time a human being is killed by the police, are we (the public or another sports team ) going to create another scholarship for this person? Let’s try and remember the name Tony Timpa, he was killed by Dallas PD back in 2016...
Thoughts on this?

Try not to worry about things you don't have control over, this will only bring frustration and negativity into your life. Focus on what you can do to make the world a better place.

It will never stop sir we as Americans need to stay vigilant and fight the forces that seems to try and oppress and change the very way we live today , our values , our rights and morals.
God bless you and thank you for your service .

And to counter your point sir, when are the thugs going to start up a scholarship for the police who have been killed in the line of duty?

Grab a beer and a fishing pole, fill up the kiddy pool and soak your feet. Don't worry about it until it comes up your street.

This is not about Floyd or any other shallow krap like that. Floyd was an unrepentant criminal and his name is being used to further other causes. Democrat politicians and their allies , the national media (propaganda machine) are riding this one to the hilt.

As the Texas Fishing Forum's resident "Minnesota Vikings Fan" and spokesperson, I can tell you this.
Too many, umm, Vikings fans are suggesting signing CKapernick as a backup QB!
I'd surmise the Wilfs think the scholarship might calm people!

Floyd was a repeat offender and a thug. Just the kind of guy the DEMs look up to.
