These players don’t seem to grasp that watching games is a habit. And that not watching can be a habit too.

Most of these inarticulate semi literate clods can’t even verbalize why they’re doing it.

I haven’t watched an NFL game this century. Guess I haven’t missed anything.

Because rebellion runs deep in the ranks of the NFL players, the punishment ought to be stronger.

I propose that for every game a player refuses to stand with his right hand over his heart for the anthem, he must be immediately suspended for two games. No appeals. No pay. Two games.

If he repeats the behavior a second time in a season, he then must be ejected from the NFL.

Part of the cause of the rebellion is that many players are still gang members, because once you are a member of a gang, you are always a member of that gang. And Black Lives Matters has silently become a member of most of the existing gangs. So, many of the players owe allegiance to their gang, including BLM, that supersedes their membership in the NFL.

They only come out when the cameras are around....

....what were they doing on their 5-7 months off, with all their millions

They have the name recognition and the money....They could have called attention to their ‘cause’ anytime....

This obviously isn’t about helping their ‘brothers’

This is about dividing the country!!!!

My only remaining interest in the NFL is to watch for the moment when the reality of lesser TV contracts makes the salary structure untenable.

The sad part is that most of these players will not feel the pain from the damage they’re inflicting on the game because by the time the day of lower ad revenue equals lower player contracts reckoning comes, they’ll be out of the league. A final selfish parting gift.

https://www.vividseats.com/blog/2018-nfl-ticket-prices

Year-over-year season ticket prices are up by a lot for the Jacksonville Jaguars (AFC championship game) and by much smaller amounts for several other teams. Despite the improving economy, they are down for:

Denver Broncos,
Tampa Bay Buccaneers,
Oakland Raiders,
NY Giants,
Arizona Cardinals,
NY Jets (again),
Miami Dolphins (again),
Cincinnati Bengals (again),
Cleveland Browns (again),
Dallas Cowboys (despite a winning season last year),
LA Chargers (despite a winning season last year),
Atlanta Falcons (despite a winning season last year),
New Orleans Saints (despite a winning season last year),
Minnesota Vikings (despite a winning season last year),
Kansas City Chiefs (despite a winning season last year),
Baltimore Ravens (again, despite a winning season last year),
Pittsburgh Steelers (again, despite a winning season last year),
and the Buffalo Bills (again, despite a winning season last year).

The NFL has Colin cancer. I’m cheering for the cancer and hoping it’s terminal.

In other news, the Tampa Bay Rays’ next star pitcher, Blake Snell, threw a no-no for five innings last night against the Blue Jays, six Ks, 47 pitches—and then was pulled by the manager Kevin Cash for the other next star pitcher, Jake Faria, who continued the shutout but gave up three hits before the Rays won 7-0, in part on Puerto Rican catcher Michael Perez’s first MLB home run ever, and in part on Korean Ji-Man Choi’s second home run in two days in his rookie year.

That is what sports people in central Florida, and maybe even nationwide, should be talking about this morning in their coffee shops and on ESPN radio: a team of rookies who are standing up in a division with the Bosox and the Yankees, and whether pulling a no-no pitcher just coming off injury is fair to the pitcher because everything wants to have a no-hitter, but Snellzilla has a whole career ahead of him and needs a good arm to fulfill it.

That’s what we should be talking about, not about useful idiots of the slash-and-burn left who would rather destroy their careers for the sake of protesting barely-existent wrongs in a nation already demonstrating that opportunity is there for anyone willing to grab a hold of it, regardless of race or sex or class.

Personally, I would have left Snell in the game with the stipulation that he would be pulled the minute a Blue Jay got a hit, but that’s just me, and I don’t have the cash to own the team, and I’m not the Cash that manages the team.

We really need to start ignoring these people. No airtime, no articles, no tweets. Just ignore them.

Goodell is being paid $50 million a year with a free airplane, by the owners...it's the owners who are anti-American flag-burning pieces of $hit.

The players? 99.8% of them know only one thing:

They want to stay in the league as long as they can, so they can live the life (money, wimmen, choice seats at restaurants, etc.)

They think that by kneeling, they'll get on the good side of their bosses in the NFL front offices.

Also, it's no coincidence that the RAiders, one of the biggest kneeling teams in the NFL, had the biggest dropoff from 2016 to 2017, going from 12-4 to 6-10.

Their QB Derek Carr criticized the kneeling one week. The next game, his line (many of whom were kneelers) "let" the defense get to him and injure him.

Marshawn Lynch is one of the “most outspoken players in the NFL?” The who said “I’m jus here so I won’t get fined” 34 times at a press conference?
