Here’s what I conclude from this. The NFL has decided they have less of a problem if they lose this segment of their fans. The players are happier. The MSM will rally to them. The SJW class will back off on their critisism. They hope to remake a newer hipper NFL. Who needs a bunch of largly aging White Guys in Flyover Country?

They just do not get it. You DON’T have a platform! You play a sports game. Period! That is what we pay you for. You bring politics into it and we are not going to pay you anymore. It is not rocket science!

If they want to play football, play football. If they want to be politicians run for office, but we do not watch football to be lectured politically by a bunch of morons.

By “addressing inequalities in their communities” do they mean the mainly white gated communities that most NFL players reside in?

Maybe the NFL can sponsor drug dealers. After all, it is not a real problem. Its “non-violent.”

OK, which communities ? Pro Football communities ? People who have turned a once great sport into a political whine will end up being the only viewers of what's left. Momday Night Grievance Mongering.

No. Get out of politics.

Make them stand for the anthem. That’s all I want.

Your job isn’t to promote any social change and justice. Let the players do that on their own time you pay them enough and they have a whole offseason.

Of course their salaries will be going down soon because you won’t be making as much money because we sure as hell won’t be giving you any of our hard earned cash.
