Buccaneers embody Tampa’s love of pirates. Is that a problem?

Yet, while this celebration of piracy seems like innocent fun and pride in a local culture, there is danger in romanticizing ruthless cutthroats who created a crisis in world trade when they captured and plundered thousands of ships on Atlantic trade routes between the Americas, Africa and Great Britain. Why? Because it takes these murderous thieves who did terrible things — like locking women and children in a burning church — and makes them a symbol of freedom and adventure, erasing their wicked deeds from historical memory. These were men (and women) who willingly participated in murder, torture and the brutal enslavement of Africans and Indigenous peoples.

The most prolific pirates today are from Africa. And this POS should moan about the pirates in Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta and Philly etc.

Did this POS.. write a similar column when The Pirates of the Caribbean were all the thing and raking in millions??

If we have a problem with Pirates, then Vikings and Raiders would be next. By the time we are done, we will have “The Washington Football Team”, “The Tampa Bay Football Team”, “The Minnesota Football Team” "The Las Vegas Football Team"

When will the madness end?

What a surprise they gloss over the centuries of Muslims who raided European ports and kidnapped and put into slavery nearly 2 million
 
Back when we were Indian fighting, the Indians took scalps. We responded by cutting off their earlobes. They were sold for a dollar apiece. That made us the first buck an ears.

The author hates pirates...the author hates black people. The author’s hatred for black people cannot stand. The author must be fired.

You guys know what this is REALLY all about right? Tom Brady is an old, white Q.B. The most prolific of all time mind you. Nobody else is even close. He is also a well known Trump supporter. Today he goes up against the chiefs who have a young black Q.B. WHO do you think lefties are going to support in this game? :rolleyes: :laugh:

It shouldnt be about this........but it is. For my money I hope he rubs their noses in shit today just for some making the game about something other than what it should be about. Ring number SEVEN for Brady!
 
I am a huge Tom Brady fan despite his deplorable Trump affiliation because he brought six Lombardi Trophies to our community.
Plus is wife is a definite yes.
Many of my friends, who all share my political leanings, berate me for it, and there's merit to their words.

I don't even like football, but the Brady/Belichick show was simply too entertaining not to appreciate for twenty years.

Now that the GOAT is performing for one of the three teams in DeSantisland, I'm ambivalent about the game today.
I'll have it on, but probably snooze on my recliner.
Missouri is a blood red state too.
