With great sadness, we must report that the rumors the NFL was going to seriously entertain having an “Activist Awareness” month. In which the league would celebrate the protests of anti-American players, are apparently true. The National Football League has met with the players union, the NFLPA, to discuss the national anthem protests that have become a almost a staple of pregame ceremonies across the league.

The most pointless, irrelevant people in America.

There exist no smaller individuals than the kneeling children of the NFL.

Disgusting.

Does ANYONE want to try to explain how this madness might help the NFL's ratings?

Does ANYONE believe that snotty little SJWs are going to flock to stadiums to replace the disgruntled Joe Six-packs who will burn their tickets?

F-ing morons.

Gee, I thought the Chargers to L.A. was the new low in bad decisions by the NFL. They’ve gone lower.

“Well, Quantavious, the financial costs of your protests to the owners of this team have been so onerous that we can only offer you $150,000 per year for the next five years. Does that work for you?”

The players are protesting black jobs in the NFL and that no one is signing Collin Kaepernick.

Unless the NFL is addressing either of those concerns, the “knee” stunt will continue. The players should walk if they are going to be ignored by their league. That’s what black fans and activists wanted at the beginning of the season (they called for it 2+ months ago, before the counter boycott began).

Hopefully they will activate the NFL into the ground. Any conservative who continues to watch or support the NFL in any way is supporting not only the left but being subversive to the US.

NFL lose their brand and their balls. You can not get either back.

How about this for a strategy?

Do your social activism on your own time or get progressively higher fines each time you do it on the field.

You get paid to play football not be an activist.

If the NFL takes any other stance they will be losing money in an epic fashion as the fans stay away.

The player’s job is to play football according to their contract. They can do their “social activism” on their own time. Are the players and owners really this stupid? Yes, yes, and yes.
