Multimillionaires are protesting inequality. Other people’s. And the media are taking it seriously. You couldn’t make this stuff up.

Oh boy, it takes so much courage to say things like this when you are certain the media will throw rose pedals at you for it. Such bravery.

And I, as a patriot, am being a role model of patriotism by not watching. So all is good. You keep kneeling. You keep bravely sing to the leftwing choir, and I will not watch and hopefully deprive you of any financial resource to continue your “bravery”.

I am guessing “inequality” is the fault of “White Privilege,” right?

And the solution is for every victim if “inequality” to have a White slave?

Ah yes, Detroit.

I’d rather live on the Somme, 1916.

Multimillionaires spending a couple of minutes at each game protesting NONEXISTANT inequality.

I don't see a single one of them putting his money where his knees are. They are taking the easy path -- grandstanding at their workplace without doing anything constructive. NFL players as a whole are about the poorest role models the black community could ever want to have. Throwing a ball around and (mostly) leading the thug life. Nice exemplars!

When 80% or more of your players are black, it takes no courage to be a social justice warrior. It is required if you want to stay in your job and retain the respect of your players.

Inequality, is that like the business deals that puts public funds in team owners pockets building them stadiums, letting thrm keep naming rights funds that would’ve paid for those stadiums, and including non-compete clauses that prohibit the cities from using their old stadiums for sports or concerts?

I expect to see protests during the national anthem for:
1. Brown and Haley no longer make mountain bars
2. All the clothes in my closet have apparently shrunk, they don’t fit anymore
3. The waves in Maui during my vacation were too rough
4. I have a valley in my mattress which makes it hard to roll over in my sleep.
5...

When protests are pointless, why should we praise the protesters?

Has anyone explained just what this “justice inequality” is that so many negroes are experiencing?

Either way you would most likely be dead by now. 8>)

Exactly. I could change my mind if they'd offer to donate their salaries to charity or even swap salaries with the average fan in the stands, but that's not going to happen. This is useless virtue signalling on somebody else's dime. It deserves the disdain it's receiving.

Sportsball, in all forms, has become a venue for anti-Americanism. Turn it all off.
