The sad thing behind the images...are the thousands of folks who run the food and beverage stands, and are utterly dependent on profits. No fans? No profits. As the players harmed their own interest, they also harmed tens of thousands of folks behind them.
And what about the few patriotic players who are affected by these protests?
Sad for sure. But, that’s what comes from selfish, racist, ignorant narcissists with some power.
And the NFL does nothing to fix the issue.
You assume the vendors are some how better than the rest.
The vendors are part and parcel of the antiAmerican charade. No tears for the vendors. They should shut up shop and stay home
Sorry. No sympathy for a system where a 16 ounce Coke costs $6.00.
Too funny. NFL about to pay Roger Goodell $40,000,000.00 per year for presiding over the demise of the NFL.
Totally out of touch.
Most of these football players have been protected most of their lives for their football ability. Their grades in grade and high school were usually not the best, but they COULD PLAY FOOTBALL and bring in some dollars for the schools. THEN came college, where they didn’t have to excel in their studies, but that was ok because they could bring in BIG BUCKS. Those picked for the NFL, were the cream of the crop, and they brought in even bigger bucks for the football owners and the nfl. Now we see just how important these ball players are....the nfl and owners are kneeling to the dslike these ball players have toward the country that has allowed them to break laws and live a lifestyle they only dreamt of while growing up. Now they are telling Americans they will do as they wish, again, by disrespecting this country. Where else in the world can these men can make the money and lifestyle by throwing a ball around an arena?
Since they kneeled for the US anthem, and stood for the UK anthem, I doubt if they give a flip about anyone behind the scenes. I cannot/will not watch the NFL again.
That’s who I think are in some of these stands, food stall operators that have no customers taking a rest in a seat.
Yeah but all those taxpayer stadiums created all those jobs
The only person they see is themselves. They want cops to stop arresting them for endangering other Americans, criminal behavior. They will protest until they get a free pass for themselves, not the inner city kids. Crime pays and they love it.
