The Washington Post, offering no evidence, would like us to know that those dastardly Russians are at it again - using weaponized social media accounts to twist our minds over both sides of the NFL kneeling controversy. In short, Americans whipped up over NFL players refusing to stand for the National Anthem may not be in control of their own emotions thanks to "instances of accounts linked to Russian trolls" who have "weighed in" on the NFL controversy, as recently as four months ago. So, not actual Russian trolls - but Twitter accounts linked to them, and four months ago. Got it. Citing a report by CNN which also contains no evidence, WaPo's offers a "reminder from CNN Tech about the opportunity that Russia sees in the divide here over the anthem." CNN worked with researchers at Clemson University that have archived millions of tweets sent by the Internet Research Agency, a Russian troll group that was indicted by Special Counsel Robert Mueller in February. The accounts' links to Russia were discovered by Twitter, which provided details about them to Congress. The data shows the trolls repeatedly weighing in on the debate, using different accounts to take both sides. While they used some accounts to push petitions to fire the protesting players, they used others to hail them as heroes. Over the past year, social media networks have identified and removed thousands of accounts tied to the IRA. But despite the tech companies' efforts, there’s no indication that the group is shying away from the NFL controversy. ... Clemson University researchers and CNN have found instances of accounts linked to Russian trolls by Twitter weighing in on the issue as recently as May of this year. -CNN So - four months ago, Clemson University and CNN found "instances of accounts linked to Russian trolls" weighing in on the NFL kneeling controversy - triggering feeble-minded 'Muricans into false patriotism and false protest, or something like that. Who needs evidence when words will suffice?

I guess I'd care about the kneeling if I cared about football or Nike. Trying. Trying. Trying. Nope. Still don't give a shit about any of it.
You need to be a football fan to care about our anthem and the disrespect that comes with kneeling? Fuck Black LIES Matters, fuck the reverse racist potatoes, fuck Nike... and anyone that condones such douchebagery
Fuck Black LIES Matters, fuck the reverse racist potatoes, fuck Nike... and anyone that condones such douchebagery " Agree completely !! In fact, they can gather up all the footballs, helmets, shoulder pads, cleated shoes, nike shoes, kapperdouchbag, etc and shove them up their ass !!!!
Did you see how Serina Williams acted last week? Running her lips, disrespecting the Ref’s... and smashing rackets like an urban dysfunctional potato... and if you question her behavior... you’re a male chauvinist racist. That cartoon that got worldwide attention... was spot on and the potato deserved it.
Guess you're not old enough to have seen John McEnroe play. Oh - he's white BTW. Getting pissed at the refs is not just a "potato" thing princess. Anyways, your psychotic tantrums here make Serena (and McEnroe) look like saints.
It doesn’t look like the pothead hippie asshole actually smashed or DAMAGED the racket... but that silverback knuckle dragging potato has smashed dozens of rackets. Check it out on YouTube, paultard. There is no comparison. Nice try, Black LIES Matters
Nice try, Black LIES Matters Hehe-ha!! Ditto, GI. On ALL OF IT. Here's more major differences (dunno WHAT matches Deckard is watching): 1) Johnny Mac GOT BOO-ED. Serena was instead SUPPORTED by hypocrites.

2) Serena LIED. She WAS being coached.
3) Used her "I'm Mommy" Card.
4) Used her "You're a Sexist Card. And, "It's because I'm a women!" Card.
5) Used her "YOU'RE A RACIST!" BLM Card. BIG TIME.
6) Serena slandered the reputation of the Ump in public, calling him "thief" (McEnroe tamely called the Ump a "jerk".)
7) Serena STOLE from her opponent what should have been a celebration-win at the US Open. Too late to re-live that.
