The NFL is about 30% white.

The nfl just died today. Oppression? What the F?

Literally everyone was appalled by the Floyd death and are for improvement of police and black relations. This is an abomination.

The NFL lost around 18% of its TV audience over a couple of years, and then gained most of it back after the protests were downplayed. Sounds like the players are determined to restart the audience loss and make it ever greater than last time.

On top of that, the lockdown has made millions realize they can live without sports.

And considering I was one of the biggest posters here on all things sports, that’s big. I don’t miss it a bit. Even college football doesn’t do much for me now.

These oppressed millionaires have a far better chance of being killed by one of their black brothers than any cop. How many of them live in the ‘hood with the oppressed?

“Systematic oppression?”

Language is an interesting thing. I feel quite confident they meant to say “SYSTEMIC oppression,” but were too ignorant to know the difference.

“I will punish myself by never ever watching a pro football game again.”

The last NFL game I watched was when the refs robbed the Saints by not calling a blatantly obvious PI foul against the Rams in the playoffs a couple years ago.

Yeah, I cut my NFL watching down greatly during the first couple of years of the flag protests, then came back to watch about half as much as in the past when that died down. But if they start it again, I expect I'll just turn off for good.

And as over the top as the protests and riots have become this time, I won't be surprised if the flag protests show up more and more at the college level, and start turning off more and more college football fans.

Believe it or not, in 2015 the NFL under Goodell asked Robert Mueller, the senile, corrupt old swamp-roach to “investigate” NFL violence. He delivered the expected white wash and the matter faded.

In August 2016, a few weeks after the Seth Rich murder, The Washington DC police chief Cathy Lanier was hired by the NFL to be their new security chief at some gigantic salary increase reported to be 10x her DC salary. Muriel Bowser was the mayor at the time. Now both the NFL and Bowswer are pulling out all the stops to incite and encourage mayhem on the streets of the US. I will never attend another NFL game and I will avoid its sponsors like the plague that they truly are.

And these NFL players can’t get their heads out of their rear ends long enough to realize how stupid it is to constantly offend a good chunk of the ticket buyers and TV viewers who support their lavish salaries and lifestyles. If they start protesting at games again, I hope they learn a tough and very expensive lesson.

Systematic oppression?

Can't wait until the national felons league addresses the spouse, girlfriend, etc abuse.

Oh and let's ask the nfl about Ray Lewis.

Oh and let's ask why there aren't more white players in the league....or Asians...or Hispanics...or women. I mean, if the nfl is going to go woke, do it right.

I salute the flag or cover my heart, I swore an oath and I won’t forget it.
I kneel only before God.
That’s it.

"A group of NFL players from across the league have gathered for a 70-second video demanding that the NFL deliver a clear message about racial injustice in the wake of the death of George Floyd."

These guys would be wise not to torch their fall-back jobs.

Who in their right mind would pay anything to support the NFL, the games, the gear, etc.
