Once you break a habit for about 2 weeks -much easier not to to back. They found out there IS life other than football.

...that and the protests are predicated on demonstrable lies and everybody knows it.
NFL ingrates! we are paying $200 a seat to what? get insulted!??????
nO WAY NFL!
no freakin damn way!
GTH NFL!
BOYCOTT THE NFL ADVERTISERS!!!!
The article doesn’t mention how that Professional Sports and the broadcasting and analysis thereof are some of our society’s most colorblind moments in our lives. People don’t judge one’s efforts or success because they are white or black, that is generally put completely aside in the NFL. But now identity politics and diversity are blatantly injected and demanded to be acknowledged right in the middle of something that had by design of the sport shunned such agendas. That was part of the “NFL magic” that Rush Limbaugh references when he says that innocence is now lost forever.

This author needs to find a new vocation. His writing skills are non existent.
Yeah, that's a problem. Smart, qualified white men are rejected from jobs just cause some gubment mandated quota forces a business to hire barely literate Jamal. Blacks getting points added to med school entrance exams while much, much smarter whites and Asians are rejected from even getting admitted.
I agree. There's too much racial disparity in this country.
It will take a summit with Trump to walk this back, for the good of the country and the sport. Maybe Colin Kaepernick himself will need to go. It's that or die. Plus, something like that will settle the thing without the League or owners participating, which at this point is what needs to happen. The players need to save their own sport because the others involved have no idea what they are doing.
Sitting on your ass to protest our National Anthem, a musical symbol of the heart of the nation, would seem to be counter-intuitive to all but the most mentally challenged people.
Correct. How much are MA taxpayers still paying for the roads to Foxboro?
I left today's Colts game because @POTUS and I will not dignify any event that disrespects our soldiers, our Flag, or our National Anthem.
Not encouraging when the author gets the second sentence so wrong. Trump made no such "demand".
I left today’s Colts game because @POTUS and I will not dignify any event that disrespects our soldiers, our Flag, or our National Anthem.” Wow, the players must be up to their old tricks again. This is my 3rd week of NFL free weekend.
What hath Sno-Fro wrought?
Grandpa Dave, you have out-done yourself with post#2
Because protests always fail. Pretty much the only thing protests ever accomplish is helping the people in the protest not feel alone.
I love the game of football...
I have absolutely no use whatsoever for the NFL...
I said early on that the protests were doomed. Once started, there is no positive path out without capitulation for the players and the league.
They can’t claim “racial inequality” is solved, or even improved. All they can claim is that they’ve hurt their league and their standing with many Americans, football fans and non-fans alike.
Everyone was already aware of America’s racial issues, so there is no “awareness” to be raised.
There. Is. No. Upside. Available.
It’s. A. Loser.
