The aftermath of the NFL national anthem protest has not been good for the football league.
Disgruntled fans, low ratings, and very public fights have lowered the public opinion of the NFL to record lows. Now the owners in the league are attempting to take control.
Multiple reports from teams across the league indicate that team owners and management are cracking down on anthem protesters. The Miami Dolphins head coach has ordered his team to stand, according to IJR reporting ... (long story, worth the read)
The report indicates that many players are “scared” to protest, especially if they are not starters, "People have to feed they family,” the one member of the coaching staff says.

The college black jock culture longs for the opportunity to kneel
Entertainers are afraid of insulting their audience - that is so sad! Who said it was okay for rude and disrespectful actions to have consequences in a spoiled brat’s own life?
Remind me never to go to Del Frisco’s unless somebody else is paying.
What a ripoff.
No fan wants to pay $200/ticket, $40 for parking, $15 a beer to watch their country get shit on.
It’s that simple. Has nothing to do with free speech or Donald Trump or police brutality.
It’s basic consumerism. Someone needs to clue these guys in they are entertainers...clowns...court jesters. They are paid to perform for the masses. Just like we don’t want actors lecturing us on human rights (*cough* Harvey Weinstein *cough*) we don’t want gym rats and ball tossers to give us an expose on American history and culture.
STFU and throw your ball and make me smile.

You have every right to agree with the leftist narrative. I’m not trying to take that away from you.
All I’m saying is this is a fight over ideas.
It’s not a fight between a group of people with a certain range of melanin content in their body against another group with fewer molecules of melanin.
The NFL is the left. Don’t you see that?
Yea, because that college degree ain't gonna do it.
College degree? I think they'd better check the validity of any purported high school diploma. Heck, that's fifth grade English ...
Absolutely hilarious.
It has been 15 Days since the last arrest.
Average: 7 Days
Record W/O arrest: 65 Days
The odds of reaching 15 days without arrest are 7 : 1
WOW! I know my son is one of the 20 million who left.
It’s no wonder. It didn’t help that they revised their website, coupled with all this anthem protesting crap.
Meanwhile, maybe another Chick-Fil-A day.
One of us does need to check our vision. What you say about a few executive managers of the league may be true. But it is ludicrous to then conclude the owners with skin in the game are businessmen willing to squander very large enterprises on a clearly losing political campaign.
Hahahaha. What overpaid loser felons (over half the nfl players are convicted felons!). The disrespectful losers deserve to suffer the consequences of their actions. Screw’em. Never again!!!
What the hell is “People got to feed they family”. What the hell is that?
That be coolig diploman on a futbol Kolrshit, sukah!

>>blacks and whites on both sides<<
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I totally agree.
The saddest thing for the blacks is that they would be embraced, honored and even celebrated by the vast majority of Trump supporters, if they would simply join the side of patriotic Americans.
Instead, so many are the permanent SUCKERS being played all-day, every day...for decades ...by the Party of Filth, Corruption and Treason.
>>And—the left doesn’t want the NFL to lose this war.<<
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I think this is a significant skirmish in pushing back the left’s theft of our culture.
In other words, the owners are left if that’s where the money is, and they’re “patriotic” if otherwise.
Ultimately, this is the same thing as being leftist—self-centered, materialistic and without morals.
