@AZCardinals A professional sports team is backing a political appointment but votes to deny players the right to exercise their social and political voices. Gross.
@AZCardinals “Stick to sports” is a lie to silence dissent to the rolling back of rights of marginalized groups of people in America.
@AZCardinals National Football League’s Arizona Cardinals owner Michael Boswell literally used the team’s website and social media to endorse Brett Kavanaugh as the next United States Supreme Court Justice.
@AZCardinals The same owner who voted to prevent NFL players from protesting injustice during national anthem ceremonies.

This is what authoritarianism and the corporate oligarchy infesting our democracy looks like.
@AZCardinals Stick to sports” is not about respecting the military, “both sides,” or patriotism.

It is about telling marginalized groups and allies to shut up to views this era’s McCarthyiites, George Wallaces, and Barry Goldwaters do not agree with.

We see you.
@AZCardinals Correction: I tweeted “Michael Boswell” in the thread. Autocorrect changed it from the correct name Michael Bidwell.
@AZCardinals Just realized Michael Boswell wasn’t autocorrect. I went to @WhitPlantation tour today and the guide gave us a list of authentic down home restaurants in NOLA. One was Boswell’s which was fiyah as hell. Racism and soul food I’m giving you subliminally slipped in
@AZCardinals Yes, Bill Bidwell is the owner, but his son runs the team. That’s all in the family.
