>Not really. There are some 40 million blacks in the country. I would be that a sizeable percentage of them LOVE what the players are doing.

The number of blacks who watch football is way down as well. Despite the media portray, BLM has only about 30-40% support within the black population.

So how come they made no effort to call out the Democrat party, who runs the cities where all of this is happening?

Because it’s about hating this country in general.

Besides cops do not mistreat minorities over all. There are idiot cops who probably are power tripping and are not fit to be a cop who definitely abuse their authority, but those kind of cops are not discriminatory. It’s just they have more contact with blacks, because well, blacks commit more violent crime than any other group in this country.
How come we can’t talk about that?

I don’t deny that...I was just defending the millions number. Like it or not, there are millions of blacks and certainly millions of others who just LOVE these protests.

We are the majority, but there also big swaths of this country that simply hate what the country stands for.

The reality is that Afro-American studies is a really stupid history of America.

Besides the fact it’s riddle with supreme exaggerations of all this black African accomplishment pushing how much better they are than whites or co-op other cultures like Egyptians. It’s utterly lubricious how you can promote victim-hood and superiority all at the same time, but there you have it.

don’t know what the word lubricious is but obviously I meant ludicrous.

...so many words aren’t needed to explain. Simple.

The Left thinks they are in the majority, and they hang around in no groups with conservatives...thus they don’t understand us, and the hate profit, except their own, so they don’t get economics nor customer satisfaction basic lessons. Their arrogance limits their ability to see past their unicorn and rainbow projections.

Trump didn’t demand anything; profanely, or otherwise.

What these NFL players and owners fail to understand is that this is NOT President Trump vs them. He merely gives voice for the majority of US citizens who agree that protests against OUR flag and anthem is wrong on many levels.

Not sure if the NFL uses these yet but now a yellow, pink, light blue, and orange flags are now the same. Light blue is to support fighting prostate cancer. Orange is used in Canadian football.

Only other flags are royal blue ( dark ). Still used for a loose ball. Red are for coaches’ challenges.

Regarding slavery, the afro-Americans like to put on this air that they personally were in it and suffered from it. What a joke that is. It’s like me complaining about the Spanish Inquisition ruining my life, where’s my reparations? Freakin’ idiots.

Exactly, that kind of cop is just as happy to slam a white guy’s head onto a car hood for mouthing off. It’s not like he’s going to investigate your genealogy before deciding to smack you around or not.

Stopped reading Ed Morrissey and the lame-brains at Hot Air years ago. FR is all I need. Morrissey needs to go back to running a telemarketing call center.

racial inequality preached to us by a bunch of black millionaires, and are paid by mostly white blue working class people . The irony is staggering.

I saw a friend of mine post on FB that he was no longer watching games or buying any Vikings gear. This is a man who has been watching faithfully every single week for decades. I have never seen him as particularly conservative, so for him to take a stand like this, surprised me. The NFL is not only losing die hard patriots and conservatives. They are losing some who just do not like the disrespect of their country, their flag, their anthem and themselves.

Lawnmower Boy has a helluva lot more maturity and smarts that most NFL players... and owners.

Black soldiers of the Massachusetts 54th held the flag high at the 2nd Battle of Fort Wagner. Memories are short.

Krapernick needs that lawnmower to take a few passes over that hairdo of his. Nah, on second thought keep it. He needs to keep looking like the idiot that he is.

The NFL keeps showing their resolve every week on how unified they are—against their customers. It’s the Dixie Chicks business plan. Works for me, burn baby burn.
