1. Malcolm is the man.

This whole Eagles team is brilliant. First they win the Super Bowl over the Evil Empire and then they stick a thumb in the eye of Тяцмр while standing for great causes.

I couldn’t be prouder of my team.

[Louis1895]

2. I am with you, brother!

Proud to say the Eagles are my home team!

These guys do so much for others!

[Louis1895]

3. Or sister

(As the case may be)

4. The idiots keep shoving the microphones into his face, even though he's made it clear he

isn't going to speak.

5. Yeah and not giving him room

I noticed that too.

"Do you want help?" Asked the reporter on his left.

[tblue37]

6. I think that is why he held up the "You aren't listening" sign a second time--

not that it did much good, since they still didn't get it.

21. Reporters gotta ask questions

I have no animus with the press asking questions. But persisting in asking question of man who was, for gawd's sake, holding up a sign saying "you're not listening" . . . . seems, maybe, a little, I dunno, stupid?

7. have a new favorite player

8. I wonder how many channels showed this and how many tossed the film

10. ESPN - #4 story (NBA finals are 1-3) under Top Headlines

9. His strategy was brilliant

and all those mikes were local Philly sports/news reporters. White privilege means they can comfortably be completely clueless about what the "message" is (and don't care) and the point of why people "take the knee", preferring instead to keep repeating the drivel coming from the dolt in the WH.

11. the fucking reporters

let's just talk about trump, not the country. not injustice.

kudos to Jenkins. he got some facts out there.

12. The Obtuse Questions by the Reporters Say Everything

It boggles the mind that purportedly educated reporters could ask such annoyingly insensitive questions, while shoving a microphone in Malcolm Jenkins' face, and blatantly ignore his message on the posters. Therein lies a big part of the problem with the fourth estate.

13. That was brilliant. nt

15. The reporters pissed me off.

[gratuitous]

16. "Malcolm, is the message being lost?"

"We'd like to cover this as a personal spat between you and Donald Trump. It's a story we're comfortable telling, and is easy to write. I'm in the lounge for cocktails by 5:30. But when you're holding up these signs with numbers and statistics and other stuff we don't understand or care about, it makes our job harder. Why don't you act the way we want you to act?"

[volstork]

22. Exactly this.

They want to dumb it down to the lowest common denominator, which allows them to get a "story" out without having to do due diligence or to actually wrestle with anything too difficult.

[Kurt V.]

17. the ABC & FOX reporters embarrassed themselves.

Especially the abc guy. but they don't know that.

[Roy Rolling]

18. Former Saint

He was loved in New Orleans, and we still love him for what he and Darren Sproles did for the Philadelphia team all its citizens.

But this street theater is beyond anything he's ever done. It is pure genius.

The problem is, the media gives free coverage to nonsense, and gave so much free coverage to Trump it swung the election.

If they are gonna stick a camera in your face, make the image what YOU want. Well done, Malcolm Jenkins, well done.

[SallyHemmings]

19. Brilliant

So proud...not happy with Lurie’s silence. He was the kid on the playground bullied by the likes of the Traitor in Chief, that a Jenkins no doubt protected...

[mountain grammy]

20. Absolutely brilliant..

I cheered through the entire thing.. Take a fucking knee, America, you aren't listening!
