No, more racism!
- 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.
Their second option was 'no mo' racism.
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.
- Satire sites don't lose by losing credibility ... they lose by gaining credibility
  
  It was a joke lol....
- 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.
- What part of "satire" could be called credible?
  
  I don't understand how so many of you even took this seriously.
- I can't believe the number of people that didn't get this was a joke
- EDIT: Geez you people don't like bad* jokes...
  FTFY
  Also fuck you all if you're trigerred by this.
  Lol. Lmao even.
  
  Naaah, the joke is actually really good. The fact that you and a bunch of other can't detect sarcasm without it being explicitly labeled is not my problem in the end, but I have an idea of the link between all of you. My only mistake was trying to explain it to idiots. And yeah people triggered by this are losers : "tHe OnIOn nEws dOesN't hAve to be cRedible", duh.
  Also what the fuck are you doing here? Did I expose you previously for being a pos and you're still mad about it?? That would make you the ultimate loser in this thread lol.
- Why did you add a bot flair
- 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...
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.
- 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?
  
  He's the one yelling
- 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.
  
  Cover your ears as the jets fly over
- So you're agreeing racism is part of the GOP platform then?
