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.

They may soon be and some are starting to realize that reality. Too bad, they should have thought it through much further than they did. Perhaps that was beyond their capability to do so.

Winning.

Yes, it’s too late, the Leftists have managed to destroy the All American Sport, which is what they set out to do some years back.

Sad, sad thing what has happened.

I’ve never been a football fan, and never watched a game, but I’m not cheering the downfall at all.

A bit off topic, but I have to ask.

In your graphic ... Leroy Hill...

Is there some kind of skull sharpening device
or a type of cosmetic surgery that produces
that “Zippy the Pinhead” look?

Or maybe it’s some new kind of turban?

Interesting figures, but it’s silly to compare web traffic during the NFL playoffs to the fifth week of the regular season.

Feed they family?

They are millionaires. If they never worked again they probably still have more money than most Americans.

I’d like to see them all go on strike for a year. The replacements would play for the love of the game. The kneelers can piss off.
