NFL not seeking mandate for players to stand during anthem
Awesome ....... let the profits drain away
Awesome ....... let the profits drain away
It is amazing, however, that they can beat their women, abuse animals, abuse their children, do drugs, kill people ....
of all the 'dumb tweets' out there you choose to focus on this one?
Its a moot point anyway. The league isn't going to change their rules. They know that if they do they will lose even more views and they wont get any back. Besides, the players have a union and will be represented at the meeting to discuss any rule changes. The NFL is going to hope this dies back down and goes away on its own
'my player' is a star I don't care if he beats his ol'lady .... as long as he preforms on Sunday
And meanwhile, in the category of things that ACTUALLY matter, 90% of Puerto Rico still has no power and roughly 30% has no clean drinking water.
But, yes, by all means, lets spend all our time focused on what football players do during the national anthem.
Oh and don't forget the requisite 30-50 posts today from GURPS about guns.
We excuse an awful lot of poor behavior because of fame. I mean, when you're rich and famous, you can do anything. Grab 'em by the pu$$y....whatever you want.
Maybe hold off on the coffee today. You are making a lot more sense then usual.
The NFL team owners and leadership has a big problem. They are not dealing with intelligent people. They are dealing with thugs, and the thugs are more than half of their players. Many if them have been arrested for different violent actions off the field, nothing was done if they are excellent players, it is no surprise that they feel they can bring that to the job. These are people who went through High School with bad grades that had their grades accepted, because they were good at sports. Bullies who were given scholarships to college to make money for the college. Their discipline has been ignored for all of their lives and it is ignored now. They are winning.
The American people who stop watching their athletic abilities on Sunday and Monday have the right answer. Hurt them in their pocketbooks.
Those who watch their games are only contributing to their thuggery.
But you and others who decide to boycott now had no problem with any of that until they started kneeling and made you confront the issue of police violence. If all those things were true why are you just deciding now to boycott?
Hypocrite
For me it was a matter of "this is the last straw". I have slowly, over the years, become less and less a fan and watching less. When they decide to use the very symbol that represents their freedom to protest, and disregard that, I'm done with them. It spits in the face of every person that died defending that freedom.
So basically you are saying having to confront excessive use of police violence against citizens is too much for me to think about.
I can deal with spousal abuse, drug abuse, animal abuse, gun charges but make me examine the ways in which I am complicit in allowing violence by authority figures on the American public and I am out.
Says a lot more about you then the players

I make sense every day. It's your comprehension issues that are the problem.

Here's what you're missing. I don't think anyone is disputing the complaints these protesters have. If you and they believe there is this rampant abuse by our police forces across this country, by all means pick a venue to protest it. They are choosing the display of our nation's flag and single of our anthem to protest. This is a clear message that they believe these symbols represent the abuse of police, rather than our liberties and those who died to defend them. This is the message I get and reject.

You mean like when they protest in the streets and are ignored or people on here say things like “ just run em Over”
Or when they got states to enact laws about body cams and the cops just don’t turn them on?
Why don’t you keep telling people the proper way to protest. Sounds like you are saying go do something out of my sight so I don’t have to think about it or do anything about it.
By saying they shouldn’t exercise their first amendment rights when their bosses have given them permission is doing exactly what you claim You are not “disputing the complaints of the protestors” by questioning their protest.
The flag stand for many things and is a great symbol but is not more important than peoples lives.
