Yup. I’d bet these players have been warned to pull their crap together. They’ll go patriotic for awhile, hoping everybody falls back asleep and slips back into their addict’s coma. The only question is will the sports media let them. ESPN/SI et all have become highly invested in the continued protests.
CBS is going to Televise the National Anthem... You won't Believe What Happens Next!!!
Sorry, no sale.
Bring Sayers Butkus and Halas back and I would watch.
Fox News just said Green Bay packers are asking their fans to lock arms during anthem tonight.
I heard somewhere that viewing actually spiked at the beginning of Monday Night Football because people tuned in to see if the Cowboys would kneel. May not be true.
So I live in Oklahoma...and I commute to my job in Tulsa. I was coming back to my home...and traveling through a small town...and I see some police lights up ahead...and slow down....I see dogs on the road..and then off to the right I see quite a few people..in this park.
Well..then I see a group..maybe 8..of brown pigs huddled up..and a girl sitting/kneeling maybe 15 yards from the pigs....
Then I get by the Sheriff's car..and keep looking around and there's like 8 LEO's standing there watching the pigs...and more people milling around and dogs..milling around!!!
It was the strangest thing...I wanted to just get home..after a 14 hr shift...But I wish I'd of stopped to gawk!! LOL!!!
We’re playing rec b’ball tonight and will likely miss the fun. I’ll have to check in later.
Honestly, what are they protesting? Exactly, and specifically, why are they locking arms? Solidarity to what?
As this farce has gone on the reason for all this, either deliberately or not, sure has become obscure. My money is on the intentionality of the obscurity.
So why are players asking fans to lock arms? For what purpose? Against Trump? Because Trump hurt their feelings? Or are they locking arms as a statement that America is a racist country and we should denounce this racism? If this is the case, who — exactly — are these racists and exactly where are they? Please tell us so we all know.
I see this as the NFL calling Americans racist and by locking arms or kneeling, or whatever, they are showing unity against racism. So again, the actions of the NFL essentially to call Americans to set aside their racism, right? As in, we’re racists and only they have the courage to stand against it.
I will be stripping and polishing my bulldog. His coat is dull and listless from lemon wax build-up.
I finally scheduled that root canal I’d been putting off for tonight.
They are trying to make lemonade from lemons by creating interest. For me, that’s like pushing a string. Won’t be watching.
Yep, time for the colonoscopy
I bet many Green Bay fans will lock arms tonight and be praised for it!
Of course. If it bleeds, it reads. They are vultures just like their cousins in the newspapers.
Trump right again and TV responds...
NFL wants outta da box ;-)
OK ... if held at gunpoint by Jigsaw and told to choose, I’d pull my own front teeth with adjustable pliers rather than watch the NFL game tonight.
Caesar Augustus Goodell forgets the circuses are supposed to be fun, not cringe festivals where the gladiators ... and some more stuff.
I wouldn’t know because I won’t be watching any pro football. Burn in hell NFL.
the Lions game...they showed a very far away static shot....but the boos were just thunderous...they kept that camera as far as they could.
this is historic...even if it all ends this weekend, they all got a black mark on em...Brady..the owners..all of em. Imagine when these teams start to lose what will be screamed at them....this did serious damage, no 2 ways about it.
“Racial justice”.
I like the sound of that.
End affirmative action now!
