NFL Honors Criminal Dreasjon Reed Who Shot At Police, Wants You To 'Say His Name' –
The NFL continued its season-long “Inspire Change” campaign on Wednesday by honoring none other than Dreasjon Reed, a man who was shot and killed by Indianapolis police in May after he shot at an officer during a foot chase. He led cops in a pursuit through the city and streamed the whole thing on Facebook Live.
“I’m not going to jail today. No sir,” Reed says on the Facebook Live video.
The NFL says Dreasjon, who police say pulled two drive-by shootings with the gun he used to shoot at cops, is one of 87 “victims of systemic racism, victims of police misconduct, and social justice heroes who will be honored with helmet decals worn by players.”
A grand jury decided in November not to charge Officer Dejoure Mercer with a crime in the case.
This isn’t the first time the NFL’s “Inspire Change” campaign, which wants you to say Reed’s name, has chosen to honor a questionable “victim” of systemic racism or police misconduct. You might remember earlier this fall when the league’s social media department chose to honor Althea Bernstein, the Wisconsin woman who claimed she was attacked with lighter fluid and set on fire.
The Department of Justice couldn’t find a single scrap of evidence that Bernstein was attacked, and her team of lawyers quickly asked for privacy after the DOJ’s findings. That didn’t stop the NFL from promoting her case.
And now here we are with the NFL asking fans to honor Reed, who stole the gun he used that day from a Texas pawn shop. “We have the still images from their surveillance video of him taking the gun,” an investigator said. Reed had three outstanding warrants at the time of his death, including felony intimidation and two for the stolen gun.
While all of this information has been available to the NFL’s social media team, they still ask us to say Reed’s name.
It’s an interesting strategy from a league that has yet to mention a single nurse, police officer, fireman, doctor, respiratory therapist, restaurant owner or bar owner on its Instagram page. Not one. No benefit to help bar owners who have been the backbone of the NFL for decades. No tributes to nurses battling COVID or nurses battling to stay alive after getting COVID while at work.
Instead, the NFL has chosen to use its power to honor a thug criminal who was a drag on society. It’s disgusting.
I didn't know about all of this, because I don't pay attention to anything outside of the football portion of the NFL. If these things make you completely done with the NFL, more power to you brother. Still doesn't change me, as I will still continue to watch the highest level of football because I enjoy it.
In case you didn't know, the NFL has 1 goal, to make money. Football is their medium, entertainment is their industry. They don't care about what causes they support, they just care that whatever cause they currently support raises their revenue and/or coverage. Wait a few years and they'll have a completely different media agenda.
But don't try to draw a false equivalency that anyone who supports the NFL doesn't support the police. You know that's crap, a lazy argument, and the exact same false equivalency that people who do vilify police use on those who support police.
As long as you enjoy it. Lol. So how much are you willing to overlook as long as you enjoy it?
Basically everything you listed... with room for more.
In addition, this is the equivalent of going to an NFL tailgate and pushing your stance through a megaphone. Just like at the tailgate, my response is... Agree to disagree bud. If you're not here to get wasted and belligerent then please go.

Seriously though Nick, I get it that you feel a certain way about something. Me too about other things. But don't tell me that I don't support something because I watch tv on Sunday. You have no idea what I support. I don't give two fücking shïts about a decal on a helmet, whether it's to support cops or support anything else. The only decal on my team's helmet is the American flag, and I'm fine with it. I also don't care about the name on the back of the helmet or the back of the jersey.
I guess what I'm saying Is that everyone understands that you support cops and that you don't support the NFL. Cool. We don't need to hear it on every NFL thread.
Hopefully we won't have to going forward. Message received loud and clear. Give it a damn rest.

Maybe I just don't understand how you ignore what's in front of you because it entertains you. Its cool. Ya'll can have an NFL circle jerk. DGAF.

Really wasn’t bothered by any of it, but my disagree was this is Taylor’s thread where he was giving back to the forum. Three forum 5ers?! Super generous, just odd to see it get shát on. Cowboys were already going to sh*t themselves and that’s bad enough cause Taylor was so excited.. I mean ten gdamn exclamation points and a super bowl reference. Did he not see this coming? LMAO Today’s game couldn’t have matched this thread any better, it was truly perfect *Chef’s kiss
Just a reminder why this forum is so great. Cause we can disagree and still show love.
Edit: Almost forgot.. appreciated the NFL circle jerk part Nick, got a good laugh Lol
Only a preseason game but d@mn that was a poor showing! I guess the Cowgirls can only go up from here, right? @Rdp77 has my back with the guesses, appreciate your optimism my man!
Thanks for playing! Not the direction I thought this contest and thread would go but hopefully everyone had a good time. Success in my book. And @Cam_91 keeps his cigars!
Final Score: 3-16
Zeke: DNP, 0 yards
TDs by Cowboys: 0
