This is out there:

Putting aside politics momentarily, this video spoke to me as an Elder Millennial. Here we have Brian Dawkins obliterating various Packers, Panthers, Giants, and the like as Korn’s “Blind” plays in the background. Hell yes! Great video. It works at a bestial level, which, perhaps, is what the DHS was going for. Maybe Weapon X should have come out to Korn back in the day.

The other thing that is undeniably goofy is Homeland Security responding to a migrant caravan tweet with football highlights. It’s as if they are suggesting, “if you cross the border illegally, we will have a generational safety waiting to deliver a big hit.” It’s so ridiculous that it’s funny. Do you think they deliberated over what safety’s highlights to use in this video? Was there a roundtable discussion in Washington? –

government jabroni 1: I think we should use Ronnie Lott highlights in this anti-migrant caravan tweet

government jabroni 2: You know what? I disagree. I think we should use B Dawk highlights instead.

Now, to the political thing.

B Dawk has not responded to this. Some athletes/entertainers/etc will tell the Trump administration that they don’t want their name, image, and likeness to be used in this manner. Famous liberals don’t want to be associated with Trump in the same way famous MAGAs don’t want to be associated with Obama or Biden or whomever. Ted Nugent would have thrown a shit fit if Biden came out to “Dog Eat Dog” back in 2020, right?

Maybe Dawkins responds, maybe not, and this thing will probably fizzle out while people argue on social media.

disclaimer: this is NOT political post. Crossing Broad does not endorse politicians and blah blah etc. We are impartial, and that’s the bottom line! (because Stone Cold said so)
