It won’t be a problem because Americana won’t be back. Stick a fork in the NFL

Yeah, you can’t halfway appeal to the mob and halfway appeal to decent people. And once you have expressed an independent thought, the mob will hate you and get back at you anyway, even if you backtracked and apologized.

"It went from the BLM NFLers wanting to kneel to making it mandatory everyone needs to kneel."

Just like it went from not stigmatizing homos to acceptance to celebrating them. Next we'll all have to be homos....

If I’m not mistaken, Bree’s has the job that Kaepernick wants...

Every Conservative in the US has to do some soul searching about their love of sports and their patriotism.

They should NOT buy ONE SINGLE ticket to a game. Dollars are the same as votes... teams will get the message real quick.

Racial politics and now rioting are being viewed by corporations as a chance for corporate brand and image-building.

Its absolutely disgusting.

The NFL and Nike were early in the game, but now you can see every large corporation from banks to food companies joining in.

At this point, I’d as soon watch gay porn as the NFL.

The hazards of speed reading. I was going to type #MeToo, and then I saw the adjective "gay." Oops, I'll stick with plain old regular. And I'll file the NFL where I've filed the NBA. The circular file.

Instead of apologizing, Brees should have told his critics, “Go to Hell!”

They are begging their few remaining fans to leave. Keep it up. Brilliant move.

Baseball is trying to one up the NFL with the players not wanting to play without ALL of the pay.

Sports in America is DEAD!

Ah, here’s a thought. Let me set the stage. Roger Goodell sits in a Windsor chair holding a large book. Sitting on the floor around him in rapt expectation are all the players of the NFL. Roger starts to read. “Now children, there’s this thing called statistics. And when we look at them they tell us that you’re not being hunted by allegedly racist police departments.” And the crowd adopted a puzzled look and ...

You know, I've been thinking about this a lot and maybe we should pay more attention to that community and help them drag themselves out of their lot in life.

How about for the next 50 years we give them free money, free food, free healthcare, free childcare, free abortions, free phones, free education, free housing, prioritized promotions, prioritized college admissions, ignore the disappearance of fatherhood, surround them with liberal politicians, elect their president... that will absolutely move the meter, right?

Oh yeah, we already tried that.

Yup! Activision/Call of Duty just delayed the release of a major update to jump on the Virtue signaling bandwagon. 60 million players all ready to pay $10 each for the new season. Somehow, denying that and making a stupid statement = Something deep and showing they are down.

Hey N.F.L., .
You a-holes have screwed the golden goose.
If you were not making too much money playing a game, most of you couldn’t run the Softee machine at Dairy Queen.

We all have our breaking point- disappointed but I understand he is out on an island alone. I am certain someone whispered in his ear what happened to David Carr would look like a simple tumble compared to what will happen to him. Very easy to miss assignments and blocks allowing 11 roided up race warriors pounding someone into road kill. Takes a special person to stand up to storm crashing -
