So the Obama administration and its marxist 5th columnists in the MSM cherry pick stories that are far in the minority (no pun intended) nation wide and cause people across America to riot.

That administration and those MSM blackguards need to be arrested for inciting to riot.

That’s an easy one...it’s nothing less than a display of utter contempt for everything this country stands for.That’s why the punk who can’t seem to even land a bench warming job in the NFL is seen wearing pig socks.

Nothing, of course.

The NFL just pretended not to understand until the money nozzle slowed.

The NFL may never ever recover the nozzle. Stupid stupid league. In the 70s thru late 90s they were really good at marketing. Like ESPN they went political.

I’m sorry that Blacks are killing Blacks at an unbelievable rate. They need to get a handle on the violence and killings within their own group before I pay attention to police killing them. In reality, the percentage of Whites being killed by police far outweighs their issue. This reminds me of the “pussy Hats”. All this hate against Trump, meanwhile in California the front runner for the Democrats for Governor is a pussy grabber. The irony

The Libertarian in me would blame congress for mandating the anthem b4 ALL sporting events. It was installed during the Great Depression to take peoples minds off 25% unemployment. Now it’s coming home to roost. What does the national anthem have to do with sports?

Does Congress really mandate the national anthem before all sporting events?

I find that hard to believe, as it would easily be thrown out under even the simplest legal challenge.

How is disrespecting the anthem and the flag going to get fans on your side? Makes no sense.

The root of the problem is black organizations desire to control professional foot ball by exerting pressure on the small addled brains of the black players.

Controlling the NFL yields a platform for disssemination of black propaganda.

Cultural analysis, not racial bias

To give an example: Just this week a young female cop was in a ‘good area’ outside of Baltimore responding to a call of a suspicious vehicle, and a house burglary on the same street.

Wound up being 4 young jacks from downtown Baltimore collecting some loot while the worker class...was working. So she tries to hold them at bay while backup is on the way. The 16 year old driver (not an angel, but not a violent type, like Travon Martin was, either) - the kid panics because he fears being shot by the cops (my interpretation) due to BLM putting that level of fear in him. He tries to get away, runs her over and kills her. The funeral was yesterday and her kids get to grow up without a mom.

Either we end this crap of often ‘identifying’ with the brutality of the cops, or it just gets worse. We need to lay it out and tell LaHood that we’ve had it with their shit and if cops kill some of them, tough, because they’re usually asking for just that.

If the players were holding up signs saying:

“Support Trump! Support the Wall!”

They’d be fined/fired tomorrow, without a doubt. And I think most of us here, even though we agree with the message, would be fine with the punishments too. Football is (was) football - THAT SIMPLE.

This was NOT hard for the owners to figure out, and the ONLY reason they’re now reacting is because the Season Ticket renews must TOTALLY SUCK...it will be fun watching what happens there.

Has nothing to do with it, but the media and the left supports their delusion.

Absolutely nails it. This idiocy was never about "social justice" or any such drivel. It was about using a mass forum to broadcast a false marxist message about racism, police brutality, and oppression. And we were supposed to just shut up and eat the sh_t they shoveled at us.

Instead, we turned them off and tuned them out. They damaged their "cause" (such as it was) beyond repair. I predict that pro football will never recover.

Now THERE'S "justice!"

This is the same NFL that refused to allow the Cowboys to wear a sticker to honor their slaughtered cops (by a black man). That was at the start of last season, the season they made every excuse to support the players antics.

Yes. Except now it’s been so firmly established as a tradition that no sports league or team wants to face a PR nightmare by doing away with it.
