If mega-wealthy sports and entertainment figures like Colin Kaepernick, Beyoncé, and others care so much about the injustice they claim to see in America they should donate most of their salary to charities dedicated to the causes they espouse.

Colin should keep about $50,000 to live on and put the rest of his $19 million dollar salary to work helping those he sees as victims.

Beyoncé earns about $55½ million a year so her charitable donation of $55 million should ease her mind about all the injustice she rants about.

Colin Kaepernick signed a 6 year, $114,000,000
contract with the San Francisco 49ers, including a
$12,328,766 signing bonus, $61,000,000 guaranteed,
and an average annual salary of $19,000,000.

It looks like I’ll have to find entertainment elsewhere.

Today I listened to just enough Limbaugh to hear him entertain a Trump basher, then he did a little bashing himself, was troubled at the two bad candidates we have — Hillary and a reality show host — he said. Nothing about Trump being one of the most successful businessmen in the country’s history. I won’t be tuning in Limbaugh anymore; he and Levin can get together and fondle each other.

Appears like the NFL has finally lost control of its players after playing footsie with political correctness so long. I won’t be watching any games.

NFL Football for $500 Alex. Answer, “Click.” What is the sound of my TV when the NFL comes on?

It is really simple.

1) Just draft white players

2) Don’t renew black player contracts

3) Cut returning black players on the roster in favor of white draftees in Spring training as often as possible

I guarantee you in 2 years the black players that are still in the NFL will be standing with their hats off and hands on their hearts and hour before the National Anthem is played.

Lets help them to understand that there is not going to be a paycheck.

College ball is more exciting anyway.

I agree. We should stand and be counted.The news media and sports are manipulating our country Big Time. If folks will search for the truth they will find Liberals control most of the information we get,the Education System and politics.
We have to many honorable people who will set back and let it keep happening as long as it doesn’t directly affect us.
Most churches have become so set on pleasing folks that they are promoters of Liberalism.
I am sorry to say this to my Catholic Friends but the Catholic Church covering up for all these Pedophile Priest have done more damage to Christianity than the Devil could have accomplished. The thing of not getting involved has about destroyed America.
The NFL also and the folks getting Mad a Trump about the Football Players relative has succeeded in destroying the truth in what he said. For over 20 years now since retiring I have read and researched and the truth is the places where more crime occur happens in places controlled by liberals. The Black Leadership in America has sold the Black Race out and try to put fear in people with The BLM movement. Crime controls where people set back and do nothing.
I remember when I was a Child. Blacks had better schools,more honor and were more family orientated than they have been under the Liberals that Lyndon B. Johnson created. If the black and white working class would come together we could straighten this mess out but to many folks are will to sell the soul and the future of their children for government hand outs! George Soro’s has more control over America than our own populace.

The NFL is following the path of the NBA and becoming just another version of Black Thug Ball.

I have a very simple proposal..if someone hates America and hates our flag they can LEAVE..dont let the door hit ya on the a@@..they get paid MILLIONS of dollars, more money than the majority of Americans make in a LIFETIME for throwing a FOOTBALL around..live in mega mansions, then turn around and trash America..F them..they can LEAVE..if Kaepernick really cares about his “Black brothers and sisters” he can let those people move into his mega mansion

The Black Lives Matters movement is full of lies and deceptions and its goal is to divide Americans.

These NFL players have every right to protest but they would be FOOLS to go out and protest for this movement, since it is all based on lies and deceptions.

Unfortunately, I’m at the point where I’m so cynical that anything in the public eye that I figure alienates the average traditional American will push them closer to voting for Trump in November, and it pleases me.

Maybe I’m wrong. I didn’t used to be this cynical, but here I am. Thanks Barry. Thanks, Hilly.

It is all about TV revenue...people need to start dropping their “NFL Sunday Ticket” packages and similar cable packages, and further reduce ESPN/ABC’s ratings by not watching...to get a message thru.

Let these jerks sit on their a$$es then, and get the National Guard, VFW and other war vets in there to carry the flag onto the field before every game

To give people some real patriots to cheer for

Ultimately it’s up to the fans to show how much the character of the players means to them

#BLM in college sports ball this Fall is going to be much, much worse than in the NFL.

Try hockey, or read a book.

If they are going to do that, I will focus on the college football for this upcoming season.
