Yahoo Sports is now promoting Beto O’Rourke, claiming he understands absolutely why NFL players are protesting.
Here’s the tweet by Yahoo Sports NFL and retweeted by Yahoo Sports:

Here’s what O’Rourke said in the video:
“Peaceful, non-violent protests, including taking a knee at a football game to point out that black men, unarmed, black teenagers, unarmed and black children, unarmed, are being killed at a frightening level right now, including by members of law enforcement, without accountability, and without justice,” O’Rourke said. “And this problem – as grave as it is – is not gonna fix itself and they’re frustrated, frankly, with people like me, and those in positions of public trust and power, who have been unable to resolve this or bring justice for what has been done and to stop it from continuing to happen in this country.
“And so non-violently, peacefully, while the eyes of this country are watching these games, they take a knee to bring our attention and our focus to this problem to ensure that we fix it. That is why they are doing it. And I can think of nothing more American than to peacefully stand up, or take a knee, for your rights, any time, anywhere, in any place.”
What an absolute puke.
O’Rourke makes it sound like police officers are just going around shooting unarmed black men. And just as absurdly, he claims there is no accountability.
Both are categorically false.
Also, he’s including black on black crime, which is not even what these NFL protests are about.
Yet this bullcrap is what Yahoo Sports thinks people need to hear and support?
I hope Ted Cruz destroys this lying leftist gas bag in the November elections.
