A few players? Entire teams were participating in this last weekend.

Yeah, you caught that, too.

It doesn't matter if the sponsors force them to stop this foolishness, they've already shown their true colors. Until they fire each and every kneeler, including the coaches and owners, I'm finished with them. Not that they care about little old me.

The quote you saw yesterday wasn't from any advertiser. It was from NFL spokesman Joe Lockhart, the former White House press secretary and propagandist under Bill Clinton.

As soon as I saw that quote I knew he was lying his ass off, and that the NFL had a disaster on its hands.

Once again Garrison nails it.

Glad to have him on our side.

Can’t the NFL just substitute all these advertisers with companies more to their liking like, BLM, ANTIFA, KKK, New Black Panthers, DNC,IRAN, ISIS, North Korea,...

Keep those letters and emails and Tweets and such flowing to the advertisers! It’s getting traction. If it gets more, the NFL will come down on owners to get their people in line with the bottom line or suffer consequences.

Seems to me that professional sports- especially football- are just a legitimate way for criminals to make $$. The same as ‘rap’. Without the ‘artist’ excuse they would just be regular street thugs shooting each other in the street. Many will end that way.

Unless the NFL and its lackeys publicly comes forth and issues an apology then let the boycott continue on. Make the trashing of the national symbols and insulting the American citizen patriots by NFL thugs become quite an unprofitable venture.

How old is this? Peterson no longer plays for the Vikings.

I am starting a list of specific products sold by Pepsi. Aunt Jemima pancake mix is one of them. Don’t buy Aunt Jemima Pancake Mix. Boycott Aunt Jemima Pancake Mix and make everybody happy, it has a “racist” image on its package and they support the NFL. There other pancake mixes sold at your local grocery store. I won’t mention brand names, but you can figure it out. We need to take names and kick ass.

I hope and pray this is all true, especially As$wiper Busche (hate the beer), but unless I am wrong, the Radisson quote is word for word from a 2014 ESPN story after Peterson was indicted on child abuse charges...

Story here

NFL stats show less than 10% - that is what bothers me about some of the over-reaction, many want to punish 100% of the team or league

Please correct the date.
Click the ABUSE button and ask the moderator to change the date to the correct one.

Article skimmers might think this is related to the recent childish behavior of the players- WHICH IT IS NOT.
