CNN Contributor: NFL Kneeling Is Also About ‘Gender Pay Gap’
Daily Caller ^ | 10/14/17 | Justin Caruso

Posted on 10/14/2017 7:00:24 PM PDT by markomalley

CNN contributor Donte Stallworth said Saturday that the NFL kneeling protests aren’t just about police brutality and racism, but also about the “gender pay gap.”

Stallworth, a former NFL wide receiver, said, “The number one stated goal was to bring awareness to a lot of these issues and again, its a broad spectrum of issues. Again, it’s not just police brutality and community policing.”

“It’s also, again from what I’m hearing from players directly involved in these talks–they’re telling me it’s also about the gender pay gap, it’s also about housing discrimination, they have so many things that they are interested in and advocating for and they want the NFL to take ownership in and help be able to use the NFL’s platform.”

“Not just the players platform but the NFL’s platform and that from what I am hearing is a big conversation.”

It’s about all injustice. Like, when you get home from McDonald’s and you find out they forgot to put the fries in the bag. Or you ordered diet coke and they gave you a dr pepper....

Kneeling is all about Trump. 99.99%

Absolutely.

What they fail to understand is that he is speaking for a big majority of Americans on this.

I think most Americans thought that football players were morons. Nor they are proving it.

Oh for crying out loud! The average NFL player has an IQ of under 80, and doesn’t even know what the word gender means. Next we will hear the kneeling is in protest of global warming or an effort to save the whales. Rubbish!!!

Yeah, now that revenue is tanking, go for the female demographic. Sell those tickets for empty seats to the ladies. Reverse marketing geniuses. Run off the paying clientele and advertisers, then look for new clients. This message brought to you by Maxi-Pads.

Thanks to these Social Justice Warriors posing as NFL players, we have broken our 35 year habit of wasting our Sundays watching TV. We are really enjoying doing better things with our time.

“I heard its also about flat soda at the 7 11.”

I heard it’s also about ‘why can’t we have melted marshmallows on our tofu burgers.’”

They also hope to raise awareness of Basque separatism.

That suggests a simple solution. Forcible gender integration of the NFL and mandated pay per position no matter skill, gender, whatever. Let’s see what these idiots say when half of them have lost their jobs to fat women with (one presumes) little football skills and the other half is getting chump change.
