Violence against cyclists- much watch!

I know there are some people who don't have Facebook, but this is pretty important.

Some dumba$$ on there called Barstool Sports put up a video where he says he's going to run down cyclists. And encouraged others to do it also.

The reason for this, because Drunk Cyclist got his twitter banned.

I reported his Facebook feed cause he's inciting violence against cyclists.

Everyone stay safe.

here's the video

Came across it last night -- and while I normally enjoy the memes barstool posts on their Instagram, that isht, at the comments, naturally, pissed me the hell off...

that facebook video is nsfw by the way.

if anybody has a connection to them, the chernin group (peter chernin) is the owner of the barstool franchise.

I would like to suggest that this guy either grow a real beard, if he can, or shave! I hope that FB suspends his account.

Barstool Sports is the same guy who bought 65,000 Roger Goodell /clown t-shirts and gave them to each Patriots fan who wanted one at the opener vs KC.

He has been a bit of a "renegade"/anti-establishment kind of guy who revels in being an instigator.

Imagine if he said that kind of thing and his target audience was any number of a group of people based on race, sexual orientation, nationality, religion, etc. etc.

Heck, what if he just said he wants to target running over all Yankees players?

Would be a different public response, assuredly.

20 seconds into that video: "...got me suspended from Twitter today, which is like my entire life..."

Yeah, that's about right.

Wow, that guy is legit mentally disturbed on so many levels. A lil background about me and my online media savoy. I'm aloof, in the dark ages, lol. I get on FB a bit, more of out of curiosity of who's who from my past and until now I was totally unaware of this dude and what he posts. I have a flip flop phone thats great for talking and crappy for texting and the only way I get online is with my laptop at home. Do I have opinions yeah sure but as I get older I feel less inclined to share them online much less post on this site. I still get on this site as it's an old past time I guess you could say and for the luv of bikes. Having said that I am 43 years old and I have to wonder about all of ya mostly older then myself. Does any of you rational thinking folks really take a tool like this seriously? I mean he's enabled I guess with modern media but he's nuts.

Irony...Bingo. I suppose if he were making death threats against the president then the secret service would be paying him a visit personally. Cyclist get no respect for sure.
