Now the “Obamas shorts” was a bridge too far. And a definite appetite suppressor.

Yes, but I didnt think saying “Hanes” or “BVD’s” would be as good of an attention getter.

“...violate his players’ Constitutional right to free speech...”

No, you IDIOT, they can speak all they want; they just don’t have a right to be paid for their ‘speech’.

The players are too stupid to realize that they are lined up in a circular firing squad.

Where’s Tillerson when you need someone to be called a moron?

"..... but we know historically that when justice occurs for African Americans, all other members of our society benefit as well."

Unless it's blacks killing blacks in the big Dem run cities. He don't give jack $#@t about them.

The NFL reserves the right to fine and suspend players for criticizing the referees.

Has anyone complained about that?

The self-immolation of the NFL continues apace.
They now owe it to employees to make their business a soap box for their every grievance.

I think the very existence of the NAACP is racist on the face of it.

Screw them and the horse they rode in on.

Had it up to here with mouthy blacks. Your employer may dictate your behavior when you are performing your job. He may also fire or discipline you for misbehaving. Got nothing to do with your damn color. Get the chip off your shoulder and get with the program. You do not want to escalate this.

Here it comes. The SJWs and democrat coalition is going to whisper to these players that they are nothing but slaves unless they take a knee and (figuratively) give Jerry Jones and the NFL the finger. They are going to call his bluff. Watch for them to put lots of pressure on the stars to join in. Imagine: Dak Prescott, Dez Bryant, and Ezekial Elliott all sit, whatcha gonna do about it Jerry?

He must loathe Rodger Goodell for his incompetent leadership which has put him and all the owners in this position.

I know I’m a teen, but the founding fathers put in the Constitution that NFL teams are guaranteed to have rights? Boy our founding fathers were visionaries - they knew that Americans will found a football league. I guess Ben Franklin founded - besides Lightning is electricity - the NFL! Is he in Canton? :-)

So the NAACP has not actually read the US Constitution. That’s revealing.

These rude, treasonous felons have a constitutional right to insult our Anthem, our flag, our military, our country, and our ancestors who fought for freedom. They do not have a right to do so while at work and without consequences.

It’s apparent the NAACP’s lawyers are stupid.

Just plain stupid.

There’s no other word, but stupid.
