“Keep them off the field. Take away the platform for this form of protest.”

Here’s a better idea. Boycott the NFL. Destroy them.

I can’t believe Mike Tomlin would go for this.

He sure made a convoluted, almost cowardly statement on the subject.

Tomlin told CBS that “we’re not going to play politics with football players, with football coaches.” He said that “people shouldn’t have to choose” between playing politics and respecting the anthem.

Steelers will stay in locker room for anthem; Bears release statement

Stupid fans are so desparate for meaning in their lives that they will continue to cheer for multi-millionaires who would sooner spit in their faces.

What a great question! Rocky is vet, and a wounded one at that. Some smart reporter should be on the way to his house even as I type this.

Posters here who think this is about leftist politics and Podesta Soros Tides Foundation machinations

It’s not

It’s more visceral

Race

A worldwide uprising against white mostly Christian culture

"I can’t believe Mike Tomlin would go for this."

It's called a paycheck. Too many whores in this world willing to do what they know is wrong just to ensure their next paycheck.

My theory will continue to be "World League of American-style Football", or maybe something more creative like "Kaepernickball". Featuring comparatively unskilled but very macho athletes from the emerging NFL global market.

There are three reasons for this that I can think of offhand:

1) "Iron Mike" Webster

2) Junior Seau

3) Yes, Aaron Hernandez

Sure, why not? Teach some young dudes a simplified game on both sides of the ball, and let them do it just like Rollerball. It'll be big fun in the third world, and for that matter there will still be a certain market for it here in the US just as there is for MMA.

Otherwise the party's over and the money stops.

I just got DirecTV in May and told them I did NOT want Sunday Ticket even though it was free for the first year. I haven’t watched a game sine Krappydick kneeled last year.

“Stupid fans are so desparate for meaning in their lives that they will continue to cheer for multi-millionaires who would sooner spit in their faces”

Trump is right, if we are tired of this we can just stop supporting it. Not one cent of our money for them, not one minute of our time for them.

Now the multi-millionaires are being joined by billionaires in their protest - against, I guess, the racism of the white people that have made them millionaires and billionaires. And I guess against the policemen that it possible for them to play their games in stadiums that don’t become scenes of mass murder. Why? I guess because the blacks want other blacks to be able to commit any crimes they want to commit without “racist” police interference.

They are putting the long knives deep into their own business and twisting them. It isn’t as if they didn’t have huge issues already, as medical science closes in on them. Now they are making themselves a pariah to the people that pay their bills in the end. Do they think the Leftist race-baiting fascists are suddenly going to set down “Das Kapital” and become football fans?

Today, they stood to honor “God Save The Queen” and protested “The Star-Spangled Banner. It seems theair Golden Goose is a half-step away from life-support.

Absolutely!
And if the fans don’t walk out, Trump and America loses. Game over in the culture wars. They win, we lose.

his morning on Fox, Newt said the Left will push this until the anthem is dropped from ball games.

Sadly, this is probably correct.
