I don’t believe it is too late. Without promotion in the form of a public stage the brainless young twits on the HS football/basketball teams will very soon lose interest because it will not be seen as “cool” any longer. The “Look at me, I’m just like the pro’s” angle is gone.

I would take a bet with very long odds that at any football game the cheers when the Anthem is played will far, far outweigh the boos from any blm creeps even bothering to go too the game.

One thing I never see mentioned is the potential for the cool players to simply self police the jerk players. Assuming there are cool players that have a problem with this anthem protest stuff. They had to create actual rules and penalties for excessive taunting and swishy celebration dancing. You would think the cool players would have put a stop to it themselves. I think maybe each game is too important to risk drawing penalties in the modern era.

“Ban American style football”

Yeah, let’s replace it with some really lame and boring sport like Soccer. That way we can be more like the rest of the world.

I’m very pleased with the Pittsburgh Steelers and their solid performance in solidarity to support tradition.

I am with you. I’ve been a Fins fan since I was a kid in Western NY during the 72 season. Ross is hands down the worst owner in the league and this team in no way represents its storied past. I’ve given up on the team this year with its four spoiled brats. Foster is the worst offender, just shows up and immediately pollutes the team.

Why are blacks attracted to Islam/Mohammedism?

Simple. May of them are from the inner city and are thugs. Islam allows them [males] to subjugate women, rape them, beat them up, and all in the name of Islam - it’s OK, you see.

This type of a man would love Islam as it gives them an excuse for their behavior, and allows unfettered actions to go unpunished.

Blacks join “Nation of Islam”. They are not mainstream Islam and they get better privileges and food when imprisoned ———when they identify as Muslims.

I think this backlash is a sign of a massive Trump turnout!
