"wtf damn football can wait": Not Everyone Said Racist Things When NBC Pre-Empted Sunday Night Football

NBC interrupted Sunday night’s football game between the 49ers and Patriots to show President Obama’s speech at the Sandy Hook tragedy. This prompted some idiots to use racist words on Twitter. It was shocking! I’m sorry, do you need help? Because I can only assume you just fell out of your chair. I know. I was shocked too. Even more shocking? A bunch of people said non-racist things about Obama’s speech pre-empting the football game.

Have some respect, this is for the kids who lost their lives, no need to explain how you hate Obama, get over it. Football can wait

President Obama speaking live in Newtown CT...& I'm okay with it interrupting the Patriots game. Some things are more important than sports.
