Blue Lives Matter refuses to partner with Jets because of this player
New York Post ^ | 15-Aug-2018 | Tina Moore and Max Jaeger

The New York Jets wanted to partner with Blue Lives Matter this season, but the pro-cop group stiff-armed the team’s advances Tuesday — claiming the NFL doesn’t respect cops, and flagging the Jets for signing a player who once posted an image of an officer’s throat being slashed on social media.

“With the NFL season right around the corner, there is no better time to open up a conversation about how your business/organization can benefit from a partnership with the New York Jets,” reads a Tuesday email from the Jets’ Anthony Bulak to Blue Lives Matter founder Joe Imperatrice.

But Imperatrice spiked the proposal within minutes, replying that the NFL is too toxic with player protests over institutional racism.

I agree with the this organization to 'rebuff' the New York Jets. Some of these protests endanger the lives of policemen. There have been ambushes of policemen around the country.

Additionally, the article talks about these players tromping on the flag and disrespecting First Responders, Military, and others...

Pro athletes are 1%ers yet they slap down the country and their fans at every turn. It’s long past time we slap back with our wallets.

A question for the NFL “scum”.
When you kill your MILLION DOLLAR a year job, just what other skills and abilities do YOU have to make any kind of
a living to support yourself and a family?
You are happily committing ECONOMIC suicide. Good work.

Well that’s when the rioting will start. My gut says it has already been planned out by people like Soros from the beginning.

When you kill your MILLION DOLLAR a year job
A million a year is peanuts in the NFL - the highest paid player currently makes 30 million per year (Matt Ryan, QB Atlanta Falcons) which includes 4 preseason and 16 regular season games. He is paid about 1.5 million per game. Not a kneeler as far as I know.
I stopped watching my somewhat beloved Seahawks after the first kneel, whenever that was. Don't miss it one bit.
