Fins Hold Players-Only Meeting To Discuss Possible National Anthem Demonstration In 9/11 Opener
CBS MIAMI ^ | 9/10/16

Posted on 09/10/2016 9:13:43 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

The Miami Dolphins held a players-only meeting Friday to discuss a possible demonstration against racial inequality during the national anthem in their season opener.

Sunday marks 15 years since the September 11th terror attacks. Families will mourn lost loved ones. Americans across the country will pause to reflect on one of the most horrific days in our history.

But in the NFL, many players say they’re considering using that day to protest.

Choose what you want to watch, south Florida. As for me and my house, we will not be turning on any NFL garbage on Sunday.

We haven't for two or three years now--ever since Roger Goodell bashed Rush Limbaugh and voiced opposition of the radio host from being a part owner of a team. The PC turns of the NFL have long since made it clear that the values of the NFL and the values of this household are incompatible. My monies will not openly support their "sport".

Any “mass-walkout” by these ungrateful, professional meatheads tomorrow will be the last day I ever watch an NFL game.

I too, have finally unplugged the cable.

I hope these overpaid whiners follow thru with their anti-Americanism.

Cut your own throats, I don't care anymore!

We need to track and inform NFL Sponsors that their products are no longer welcome in our homes. Your wallet is a great protest tool!

I am already done with the NFL until they decide which nation they are the National Football League of.

Boycott the MoFos. I wish I could but I gave up on the NFL a long time ago. I’d much rather watch paint dry.

If the TV cameras and the MSM didn’t show and report all this, they’d not get the exposure they are craving and stop doing it or it wouldn’t matter if they did...

Even a high school team in Virginia did this last night...

Quit giving them the attention they want....

To disrupt the memorial of 9/11/01 for petty BS the black community created itself by abandoning marriage for the welfare state is the height of entitlement.

You can’t blame slavery for high rates of illegitimacy, joblessness and crime in the black community today.

Academics teach that the breakdown of the black family is the legacy of slavery and discrimination. They ignore the following facts. In 1950, 72 percent of black men and 81 percent of black women had been married. Also, only 17 percent of black children lived in single-parent households; today it’s close to 70 percent. Every census from 1890 to 1950 showed that black labor force participation rates exceeded those of whites. During the late 1940s, the unemployment rate for black 16- and 17-year-olds was less than that for white teens.

It is never clear until afterward what was the one thing that caused a tipping point. Perhaps over paid athletes getting into the face of their fans and showing disrespect for the thousands that died that day will be it.

I’m going to protest until the NFL “looks like America.” In all seriousness, I won’t watch until the league gets its ungrateful blacks under control. People have a right to protest, but not at work. I blame the NFL more than I do these ghetto retards.

They should be discussing what they will do after they drive half of their paying fans away and the teams can no longer pay their bloated outrageous salaries.

Most could benefit from attending a Remedial Basic English class.

If they learn to can speak intelligibly customers will understand them at their new jobs when they say “Would you like fries with that?”

It’s a sad commentary on the decline of our culture that far too many are so addicted to a stupid game they would sit through a bunch of racist, spoiled millionaires insulting our country while still insisting on being paid their unearned inflated salaries, without walking out on them and the NFL. Real Americans should give these A-holes and the NFL the finger and stop going to these “contests”. If enough Americans had the ‘nads to shut off the cash spigot these hypocritical crybabies just might get the message.

Every American needs to turn off the NFL and spend quality with their families. Try it for 4 games and see what the NFL does! I will be at church on 9-11 and pray for those Americans who protect us at home and abroad. God bless America.
