That’s nice. Too bad the Ravens knelt in England.

I predict woodworking, fishing and golfing will experience an upsurge.

And people would be FAR better off for it! Use their minds, get a little exercise and relaxation vs. watching some muscle bound bipeds pound into each other after spitting on our country.

These morons have completely cured me of any mourning for the NFL.

It has become EXTREMELY easy to boycott them.

...the way out of their hole is so obvious to anyone who isn’t in there with them.

The way out of this hole is very hard. It requires a sincere apology.
If you've led your life as a top dog, and an idol to idolater's (aka, sports fans), humility is often the first casualty.

Proverbs provides good directions - but men (not just superstar athletes) often aren't able to take these directions.

Proverbs 11:2 When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.

Proverbs 13:10 Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.

Proverbs 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

Proverbs 29:23 A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.

Pride and Ego gets in our way - I think we all inherited these traits from Adam when he fell for Satan's lie that he and his wife could be equal to God.

Regretfully, I think the NFLers are going to continue digging and they aren't going to climb out of this hole.

I received a painting kit from my mother-in-law many years ago as a Christmas present. I think I’ll open it soon.

I don’t think you understand what happened.

Trump: Fine I will support Strange but you guys don’t get it. He will lose. I will wholeheartedly support him. You guys do too.

GOPe: Awesome... We are back in charge.

Trump: Not so fast. I am also going to show you my movements power. I will spend 0 political capitol supporting Strange. Then watch boys, I am going to unleash hellfire on an American institution. You cross me at your own peril. I am smarter than the rest of you put together. You boys just watch. Then boys lose your bowels and quiver or retire.

I have never watched the NFL, have no interest in football. Thus, it's no strain on me whatsoever to continue ignoring these arrogant overpaid idiots.

I have some new custom dyed yarn with which I hope to knit a new winter hat to match my new down parka. Take a picture of your completed painting kit and post it so we can all see it when it's done!

It would seem to me that they are doing a lot of thinking/calculating over their grievances...to the degree that they aren’t thinking/calculating about the game itself. It’s a sign of a marginal sports team...who certainly aren’t worth $90 seats.

“I promise you one thing this week — we’ll all be standing out there for the national anthem,” Pouncey said after practice Wednesday.

I know the ravens aren't rocket surgeons, but most could probably be taught to stand and flip the bird at the same time.

Meanwhile, young black males are a tiny percentage of the population, but they commit a huge percentage of all violent crimes.

How ‘bout these overpaid dumb jocks address THAT?

There are clauses in their contracts requiring community service. They really aren’t all that altruistic.

Not only will they lock arms, but at least 75 percent of fans will, too.

I think the Prez should say something along these lines:

Why are we paying for this nonsense? Most cities have put up billions of dollars to build NFL Stadiums. And this is what we get?

Stop paying!

The real protest should be within the so-called African communities. (Stop the racism: most blacks have white blood as well.
The one-drop theory of the Democrats is racist to the core- Obama is NOT African American- he is bi-racial. His mother was White Irish for goodness sakes!)

As such, so-called mis-named African Americans should be holding protests against crime and bad behavior in their own communities. ( I see it on a daily basis.)

I really feel bad for the large majority of these biracial people who have to deal with this nonsense on a daily basis and just accept it. Rise up! Get your aim straight!

My 2 cents.

Well said. It’s very important to point this out in public to them. They’re not stupid, just misguided.
I see it as a cultural problem, not one of race.

Agree. They won’t know why but will do whatever Rogers et al tell them to.
