Pennsylvania fire chief calls Steelers coach Mike Tomlin a no-good n*gger over NFL protestsBrad Reed BRAD REED 26 SEP 2017 AT 07:57 ET
A fire chief from Pennsylvania has apologized for calling Steelers coach Mike Tomlin a no-good n*gger after his team did not come out onto the field for the national anthem during this Sundays game against the Chicago Bears.
CBS Pittsburgh reports that Paul Smith, the chief of the volunteer fire department in Cecil Township, Pennsylvania, posted on Facebook that Tomlin just added himself to the list of no-good n*ggers for his decision to note take the field during the anthem.
Yes, I said it, Smith added afterward.

It's all about black men standing up in defiance of the white ruling class. Its soooo fucking obvious.
That's all Trump and his deplorable fascists care about, ever.

We have a virtual (?) Grand Dragon of the KKK sitting in the oval office stirring up hate and division 24/7.

I dont agree with it one bit." Mary Plumley told KDKA-TVs Ralph Iannotti, "For a fire chief or for anybody like that to say something like that is wrong. They dont need to be in that position." "Its not good. No, I dont like it at all," Janet Vickers said. http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2017/09/25/cecil-township-fire-chief-racial-slur-mike-tomlin/
