[[The only criminal justice “reform” that would satisfy them would be to forbid the arrest of anyone of color... for any reason at all. ]]

Exactly- apparently this ‘camp’ is going to be the ‘higher learning’ camp that teachers losers how to whine louder because they aren’t getting their own way yet=-

When fans are burning hundreds of hard-earned dollars destroying fan ware — this is going to bring them back!

When fans are betrayed by life long heroes — this is going to bring them back!

When fans are shocked by the anti-American displays — this is going to bring them back!

When fans are hurt and disillusioned by so many of these turncoats — this is going to bring them back!

The NFL just threw a hail-mary, who is going to catch it? Who is going to want to watch it.

Too little, too late. Too bad.

Looks like they want this to spread to other sports so they won’t be ‘singled out’.

It’s called the Goodell Method of Self-Demolition and Financial Suicide.

Go for it clowns. I’m out of football forever. Selling off my cards to pay the mortgage/taxes.

Adios Stupids. You had your chance and blew it like a cheap street whore.

Wait until they start issuing “Get Out of Jail Free” cards for fellow players. Then you know it is all over.

It’s amazing the NFL thinks it can disrespect 3/4 of its fans and think it can survive as is.

We already fund that; it is called “community activism”, and we bankroll it.

Just yesterday I passed some panhandlers, and I couldn’t help but think how this scene could’ve played out 150 years ago. As Union armies swept through the South, blacks would leave the plantations and follow them; the generals wrote to Washington warning they couldn’t feed both the armies and these trains of freed slaves. The panhandlers were no better off - no better educated, no better trained. “Social Activism” is a public acknowledgment by leftists that they never will be; they just have to be provided for like livestock.

What never gets mentioned is Goodell is a hardcore radical leftist.

I can think of only one useful lesson from these camps, the last one. How to turn out the lights.

And the NFL will pass along the costs to fans and taxpayers.

Remind me again why anyone would support the NFL in any fashion.

Has anyone also noticed how white folks are now playing the dummy/fall guy/gal, to the smart, well to do black person, in so many commercials, lately?

It’s as if there is an edict put out, to ad departments, by a social justice league, or something.

Shouldn’t this be emailed to EVERYONE on folks’ email list....along with a reminder about how OUR tax $$ help fund the NFL?

And, shouldn’t our Congressman be hearing from us, about this??

“You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink.”

In the same way, you can send the players to boot camp, but don’t expect them to take time away from partying, drug use, & wife/girlfriend abusing to have civil discourse or actually help those less fortunate.

IIRC, Kaepernick hasn’t been out campaigning in public against police brutality & racism. All I’ve heard from him is his own sob story. Same for the vast majority of NFL players. Very few of them speak out in public where people can choose to listen or leave in disgust. Plus, speaking in public would reveal many of them to be ignorant fools as LeBron James did recently.

As with any fad, it will spread. I expect soon to see employees at all kinds of businesses “take a knee” for various “reasons”. I look forward to hearing of employers immediately firing these demonstrators, as it should be.

The NFL are tone deaf morons.


So true. Someday they will probably look back on this and wonder why did I do that
