Allen West Blames Football Injuries On Separation Of Church And State
“Now see, I remember growing up in the inner city of Atlanta, Georgia,” he said. “I went to Grady High School and I played football and we didn’t have all this high-speed gear and everything like that, there was no such thing about ‘targeting.’ I mean, you were not a tough football player unless you did try to hit someone head-on. And even in high school, before every game at Grady Stadium, the pastor would come down and pray before every football game. I don’t remember catastrophic injuries. I don’t remember anyone getting carted off that field paralyzed.”
This history of football injuries is something Mr. West should read.

“I don’t remember anyone getting carted off that field paralyzed” he said. That’s because you led with your head too many times Allen!

lol. i didn’t read the post first before posting basically the same thing.
raypc800 April 20th, 2015 at 19:05
Yes Allen West does not remember a lot of things simple things like telling the truth.

“I don’t remember catastrophic injuries. I don’t remember…” that’s probably because of those head injuries that are still in effect today you dumbass!

Bless your heart, of course you don’t, that is a unfortunate effect of your brain damage

Oh, Allen, you don’t have to reference growing up in the inner city. You’re black–that makes you “inner city” in Repub lingo, no matter whether you live in Mayberry or even Green Acres.
Larry Schmitt April 21st, 2015 at 10:46
He couldn’t have lived in Mayberry, that was the only town in North Carolina in the 60’s without a single black person in it.

Bombastic Christian conservative pundits — attempting to rationalize the role of divine intervention — have contrived an all-too-convenient “can never lose” scenario:
When events transpire in a favorable way, it is clearly “God’s will”. And when the desired outcome does not occur, well … “God works in mysterious ways”.

98+% of ‘God’s will’ today is whatever people allow it to be.

That’s one I’ve never heard – preemptively praying away the injuries.

If football players prayed hard enough, they wouldn’t need helmets.
Or brakes on their cars!
Jake April 21st, 2015 at 07:40
If America prayed hard enough we could eliminate the military budget…no?
Larry Schmitt April 21st, 2015 at 10:47
And if California had prayed hard enough all these years, they wouldn’t have a drought.

See what happens when you don’t wear a strong helmet! “I went to Grady High School and I played football and we didn’t have all this high-speed gear”-Allen West tin foil helmet poster child.
whatthe46 April 21st, 2015 at 01:28
this is what happens when you don’t wear your protective gear my sweet child. you become a fk’n moron like this parasite.
Larry Schmitt April 21st, 2015 at 10:48
I’m willing to bet he was a moron long before he played football.
granpa.usthai April 21st, 2015 at 02:18
what about the players that did get hurt/killed while playing back in the days of more Holier than now (except for the LYING drunken adulterous Hypocrite Kristians in the US Congress of course now who deem themselves to be the nearest of all to God)?
fahvel April 21st, 2015 at 03:51
not the finest endorsement or endorser for Grady High School.
William April 21st, 2015 at 07:24
Well that certainly explains a great deal about Allen West
Larry Schmitt April 21st, 2015 at 10:49
The look on that kid’s face says he’s not buyin it.
Larry Schmitt April 21st, 2015 at 11:16
So in other words, he’s blaming football injuries on the constitution.

Loon alert! bzzzz bzzzzz. bzzzz.
Herb Sarge Phelps April 21st, 2015 at 12:34
I am 62 and I remember seeing the jersey of a player from years before who died from a broken neck received during a game. Of course in that day a prayer was said in the locker room as well as the stadium PA system. I am sure this was long before nut bag West was born.

This may shock West but 99% of football games don’t have catastrophic injuries..
