My husband is a big Oakland Raiders Fan... My mother in law loves the Redskins. I think those two teams should follow your suggestion. Me.. I am all about Roll Tide.. they just need a defense instead of a fence post on the DLine.
Let’s see Liam Neison came out against guns, so I don’t buy any of his movies anymore. Didn’t everyone learn from the Dixie Chicks.. we don’t like it when someone with enough money or fame comes along and states an opinion. Frankly, just use your talent to do the One thing you can, like catch the darn football. No one likes a bully from either side.

What are you suggesting the white guys do talk to their wives and children over the weekend?

You mean the sweaty steroid fueled felonious minstrel shows?

Sports are the opiates of the inebriated.

You know, I am back to my old idea of two cultures in the same space. Totally independent societies. A Rat culture with Rat dollars and a Patriot culture with our own dollars. Patriots don’t employ Rats, work with them, worship with them, nothing. In less than a generation they would be extinct!

The founders were clear on what people the Constitution was intended to govern. We cannot remain one country when fully half hates the fact it exists. No one wants to even think about it. But it’s true and eventually it must be faced.

My solution has a mechanism. You choose. Patriot dollars or Rat dollars. Rat friends or Patriot friends. Rat culture vs. Patriot culture.

While I support the idea, the “bar” is the one that will suffer financially in the long run. Those locals who have been Rams fans will still be Rams fans. Unless the NFL makes an example of the players in question, who by the way have extensive arrest records themselves, nothing will change. It is in the players culture.

IMO, had those players been Green Bay Packers, the SH7T would have hit the fan and the players would have “paid”. Packer management DOES NOT put up with crap like that.

Eventually that choice will be made by all. In fact, many have already made it. They have sided with liberals and liberalism. They may lie to themselves, to America, and say that ‘They voted Republican” thinking mistakenly it absolves them, but they, actively in many cases, chose a liberal republican. Their choice was clear.

They did not vote ‘against’. There is no lever, checkbox or button ‘against.’. They voted FOR a liberal and rationalized the decision. And they now swim in the benefits of that knowledgeable choice. Because they cannot be on FR and claim ignorance.

When the day comes that they will have to make much harder choices, they will revert to form and again choose liberalism, lying to themselves all the while it is the ‘patriotic’ or some other word they don’t understand but sounds good, thing to do.

The upside is that people are in real life what they are online when the chips are down. In both cases their neighbors will know not to trust, nor waste food, medicine and supplies on them.

So there is that bit of silver lining.

I’d live to see a boycott if these racists... One of the hands-up pinheads has a long arrest record if his own! There’s a story there....

The NFL is made up of a bunch of leftist thugs as players, most would b in prison had they not learned to play football. After the incident with Rush I stopped watching football games except for one or two a year, I do not buy it’s products.

If more conservatives treated the left as they treat us we could turn the tide, are you listening Rush?

It’s really up to the fans to make the Rams pay for their stupidity.

I agree about the Green Bay Packers association and management. AND the fans here in the frozen tundra state. Frankly, Rush is right and boy oh boy we can’t have Rush owning a team you know. I’m still hot about that one.

Packers fans would boooo those actions right off the field. Ever been to Lambeau for a game? If you haven’t - please try and you’ll be welcomed there, no matter what team gear you’re wearing.

In the bigger picture here the administration (ValJar), Holder et al are being very successful dividing further this country, pitting one group against the other ON PURPOSE to fundamentally transform this country. This is a serious threat to our police departments, trying to bring them down. 83 visits by Al Sharpless to the White Hut is no accident. Focus everyone on the big picture here.

Call your congress critter and keep the pressure. Some on our side are just as bad as the lefties in office, sad to say. Pray for our great nation.

Fire the players. There are a thousand others to take their place who will play football instead of supporting a Blood gang member.
