Too late Jerry. You kneeled in solidarity with BLM.

Some screw-ups you only get to make once. Cheat on your spouse, soldier sells secrets to the enemy, a cop takes a bribe, cook spits in customers food.

None of those can be fixed with a sincere apology and then everything is ok again, and you just move on. Some screw-ups you only get to make once. Fair, unfair, that’s just how it is.

Jones caved to pressure from the media and the malcontents on his roster two weeks ago. Today he’s singing a different tune — probably because the whole thing has turned into a disaster for the entire NFL, while his own team is 0-2 since that Monday night game with the oh-so-gay kneeling charade before the national anthem.

Its true they did not kneel during the anthem. They did show solidarity with those who did kneel and by default the hands up don’t shoot crowd. Straddling the fence at best. Disrespecting the country while trying to save face at worst!

“There was the one meaningless group kneel before the national anthem”

It wasn’t meaningless. It was a finger to Trump who said the BLM protesters should be fired. Jerry and his players knelt in solidarity to BLM, cop hate, Trump hate, and flag & America hate.

Kapernik said he was kneeling to not show support to a racist nation.

Something tells me Goodell has Jerry running point for him on "response" now. First, Jerry tries the "kneel-then-stand" strategy. Now, it's the "get a little tougher" strategy.

It's DONE, guys! You totally and completely blew it 100%. There was a time when you could have gotten containment on this -- LAST YEAR. But instead, you decided at best, ignore what was going on, at worst ENCOURAGE what was going on.

Years from now, the NFL will be a business case of how NOT to do things.

Exactly. Wait, he’s an old man and needs time to get off that one knee.

What a piece of work.

I’ve boycotted so long that I no longer care. I’ve found better things to do with my time. I will never watch an nfl game again.

It’s bad luck to claim WE’RE WINNING~

but, it does look like the wind has changed and is now at our back.

Hey, they have been my team since birth. My first football memory is the Ice Bowl. Right now they look like BLMs team. Jerry sounds like a guy who just realized he stepped in dog crap and he is trying to get it cleaned off before his neighbors notice the smell.

” surprised it’s not more. Of course some people would watch the NFL if 100% of the players were convicted murderers.”

I would say 80% spousal abuse over murderer. Its the end for the NFL, they are about as popular as professional leapfrog, or professional underwater basket weaving right now. IMHO those superstars should have stayed awake in class rather than ride a sports scholorship. Just as the Neanderthal, their time is over.

Quick question, if anyone knows. Is this the pink month for breast cancer? Are they doing that still? As a female, I would love to know when they wear blue for prostate cancer. Maybe I missed that.
