While muslims get arrested heavily armed within eyesight of my house.

Can see the verrazano, only 20 minute walk away.

BLM can go ### itself. I think I’ll tweet them later again and it wont be as nice as last time.

Anyone else boiling???? I’m ready to meet 10 of them anywhere to “talk”

I hope they those scumbags don’t mess with the air pressure of the footballs. That’s where Goodell draws the line.

We’ve been going about it all wrong: A boycott of the NFL will never happen....A boycott of all the sports shows that are PROMOTING this racist, anti-American behavior WILL work.

You see, the NFL isn’t a billion dollar industry because of the athletes, it’s a billion dollar industry because of the people behind the scenes that make them look like superheroes....destroy the hype, destroy the virus.

I spent six years at Ft Hamilton. The last two were in 2001-2202. I was part of the security apparatus there and we saw many muslim kids being used to test the security response to possible terrorist activities.

I KNOW there are groups in Brooklyn and Queens who want to hit the fort, no question.

Good Lord. And deblasio in charge.

Is Ft. Hamilton prepared, or was it at least when you were there?

Goodell is an asshat. The NFL is a sham...300+ lb steroid-engorged multimillionare knotheads slamming into each other and leaving broken bodies everywhere.

Sorry, 2001-2002.

We were then, but that was with Giuliani.

Have no clue what they are doing now.

Reminds me of the Ricketts family, who bought the Chicago Cubs several years ago. One of the owners is the sister of the CEO. She has no job, and spends her time throwing her unearned, inherited millions at leftist politicians and leftist causes like birdfeed at a pigeon park.

You have to boycott each players individual sponsors.

crapper has lost 1 sponsor, marshall 2 so far. The BIGS are not easy to boycott like FedX or Nike or your Cell phone company, even going after the cable company is not going to have much effect.

When it’s the HS or youth leagues they all have local sponsors you can go after and your state legislators to yank school funding for college or a HS.

I know this: I played football throughout High School and if anyone on my teams had tried this, they would still be running laps after 30 years.

saw a simple solution to this NFL BLM display:

at a college game I attended saturday, the teams left the field after warm ups.

then the band played “america” then the national anthem

then the players came back out on to the field for the coin toss.

What progress?

Are Blacks now working with the police to report crimes and call out criminals in their midst? Are Black single women no longer getting pregnant? Are Black fathers hanging around to help bring up their kids? Are Blacks starting to respect those among them who value an education rather than calling them out as "acting white"? Are they starting to use more standard English and less ebonic Pidgin English? Are Black rappers no longer referring to women as bitches and hos and focusing on the cars they ride and the jewelry they wear?

Or are they just showing up at other peoples' rallies and speeches and shutting them down by yelling and screaming 'racism'?
