Can I take a knee in protest because I am deemed racist only because I am White?

I’m retired. For 30 years prior I was self employed. Do your worse.

I didn't know there was a "black" national anthem.

Me either.

The NFL seems determined to drive away all its fans. I'm gone.

Since, I/we will not be watching, we could care less what they play!

Can the Not Football League get any more NOT?

Yes.

Week 2: The switch to the new special "pig" skin for kick-offs - the one with the cop face.

Week 3: Spike Lee in the booth.

Week 4: Cheer leaders released. Fear Leaders drafted.

Week 5: Touchdown towels OUT, night time shopping bricks IN.

Week 6: The half time riots.

Week 7: The first week where no teams score a single point - due to the chains on the Throwback jerseys.

Week 8: The shit hits the fans. When a kickoff first lands in the makeshift toilet of the Occupy Endzones mob.

Week 9: The Statue of Liberty play now allows usage of ropes, cable, saws and 47 players on the field.

Week 10: Both fans get the CoVid - on purpose. Games over.

That’s exactly what it is. I wonder when BLM will start demanding territory for a black homeland?

This has also been called the black national anthem.

I can bet that none of these players knew there was a "black" national anthem.

If someone told them "my ding-a-ling" by Chuck Berry was the "black national anthem", they wouldn't be any the wiser.

The Marxists have beaten the NFL and the NFL will lose so much support because of it.

Apparently the N in NFL does not stand for National. They get major tax breaks from cities/states because they bring in a good bit of commerce, well at least they did.

Why should there be fans in the stadium?

Re: “We scoffed at the notion that a 13% minority can lord it over an 87% majority.”

Actually, the math is a lot more depressing than that.

European-Americans will dip below 60% in the 2020 Census.

Hispanics will be 19%, and Asians will be 6%.

Since Hispanics and Asians vote 65%-70% Democrat, America’s political future is looking rather grim at the moment.

Do the Antifa/BLM crowd realize that "Lift Every Voice and Sing" is anything but "woke"?

That hymn is in our church's hymnal. The first time I heard it, I thought it was inspired by World War I, and I still think about WWI whenever we sing it..

FU

NFL!

(Just practicing from when the first NFL player chooses to kneel before his Marxist minders and to dishonor himself and to display publicly his hatred for the wonderful Country that made him a millionaire.

At this point, I'll exit NFL viewership forever, and work to boycott and help other Americans boycott every (EVERY) single NFL advertiser.)

.

The BIG NFL BOYCOTT will make history.
