Sikh football fans harassed for wearing turbans

Also, someone called the cops on them for being brown and standing next to a car.



More idiocy in the name of "safety." In San Diego, three Sikh football fans say they were harassed and nearly barred by security from entering Qualcomm Stadium on Sunday because they were wearing turbans.

Fans: We were hassled at Qualcomm stadium over our turbans

Varinder Malhi and his friends drove seven hours from Fresno to see the Denver Broncos play the San Diego Chargers. They were decked out in Broncos jerseys, hats and other fan gear, right down to the color-coordinated turbans they were wearing in accordance with their Sikh faith.

But when they tried to enter the stadium, security guards told Malhi and his friends that they couldn't enter the game unless they removed their turbans. They were ultimately allowed in, but were warned they wouldn't be able to wear their turbans again if they ever returned to the stadium.

On top of that, some overly nervous fan apparently got jumpy and called the cops when they saw Malhi and his turbaned friends in the parking lot, rummaging in the trunk of a car. They were just putting a bag back in the car when they realized they couldn't bring it inside the stadium.

Darnell Dockett tweets racist jokes. And steals wifi.

"Apple has a new device out for Chinese people. The iOpener."



Speaking of racist expressions over social media... Here is yet another, coming from Arizona Cardinals linebacker Darnell Dockett. The NFL player, in a fit of inspiration, came up with what he must have thought was a suuuuper clever joke about "Chinese people" and their funny Asian eyes.

I actually imagine Dockett giggling to himself while typing away.

You can think up these thoughts and just be a private dumbass, but baby, that's not why Twitter was invented. No, Twitter has become a most powerful tool in public dumbassery. Dockett gleefully tweeted it out.

When called out for his racist joke, Dockett doubled down, declaring himself "so not racist," promising not to make any "fake apologies," and pretty much admitting that pissing everyone off is "easy and fun as hell."
