3/4ths of the NFL are thugs themselves and with simpleton IQs

You can tell them to:

Wear gawdy clothing to attract attention to themselves

Wear their pants below their ass with underwear showing

Wear a Doo Rag on their heads often no more than panty hose

Celebrate like and gyrate like Watusi after every play as though they just win the lottery

This is what they do folks why are we surprised

They may make for a fast game especially now with their run only QBs but much like their influence on culture in general it’s a negative and they will believe any tale the best talker spins to them

It’s ridiculous I hope whitelandia is happy

The market may be freer than you believe. If the players continue this nonsense, I believe a movement will start to boycott the NFL on television, which is where its real money is made.

I wish the Seahawks were playing in NY tomorrow. The reaction from those fans ,on the anniversary of 9/11, would be amazing.

Did that (turned off the NFL) years ago. For the most part, these athletes are a bunch of overpaid, egotistical spoiled children with no gratitude or appreciation for their status in life. Their wholesale embracement of a false narrative is evidence of their lack of reasoning ability.

Agree. Me, too. What a wake up call these unpatriotic losers would get.

I suspect they hope to one day run for office as a democrat . . . they are just upping their approval rating with the base.

Miami is in for a horrible season this year due to their lack of talent at nearly every position. Most of the roster won’t last long in the NFL. Miami players would be strongly advised to avoid any negative publicity.

The NFL, and the like, don’t (couldn’t?) exist w/out the monopoly provided by government.

I don’t see\consider that being Free Market.

Time will tell. Unfort., I’m of the mind, the masses won’t be turning off the game, requesting refunds, cancelling their sports packages, etc. anytime in the near future.
