One hundred eighty years ago, in this nation, black men took a knee to show subserviance to their masters, Wondering how many NFL players today know this.
If this country is so terrible I propose giving each of them a million dollars, tax-free, a one way ticket to any other country in the world that will accept them and they give up their US citizenship the minute that they get there. I think that would actually save us money in the long run.
Great plan, let us start today.
Epic cognitive dissonance.
“The Republican Party is no longer the party of John McCain, Susan Collins and John Kasich, nor even of the flawed George W. Bush”
When was this?
I have been advocating this plan since day one. Get them on the boat, send them to liberia and revoke their USA citizenship! We do not need their form of protest or their tiny minds.
They forgot Egg McMuffin, Arnold Schwarzenneger and David Rockefeller.
How about the left actually teach it’s own the importance of manners? Maybe they might be respected by more people.
The real money tied to the NFL isn't the fans in the stands, team memorabilia, or even the ad revenue, it's the money bet on the games. All the wrong people are pissed off which doesn't bode well for a group of mostly thugs with habits and secrets they can go to prison for.
One money trail to the people in charge showing they paid a team to shade the score or manipulate a ref even one time in the past twenty years (you know someone has that kind of proof for leverage, too) and the whole mess will change hands nearly overnight for a dime on the dollar right along with the college football it depends on collapsing.
It's the old, "If we can't control it, it doesn't need to exist" attitude in spades.
JMHo
And that line is exactly why we elected President Trump - to keep folks who think that line is a bad thing from further ruining this Nation.....
Blacks are slaughtering blacks at a rate orders of magnitude greater than any lynch parties ever even dreamed of but the evil stupid honky is the evil stupid honky and he should pay us millions of dollars to listen to us call him the evil stupid honky. Yeah, good luck with that.
How about “taking a knee” for getting a job, supporting your kids, staying crime and drug free, becoming and staying a productive member of society?
Whining bunch of ungrateful pansies. “Better to light one candle that curse the dark.”
Think about it...if you have the ability.
The writer states “Racism and slavery are indeed America’s original sin, full stop. Discrimination remains pervasive. America is still haunted by wide racial gaps in income and wealth, in sentencing and imprisonment, even in life expectancy.”
Fundamentally, the left incorrectly identifies the cause of the problem.
“asking their country to live up to its promises”
That’s not what they’re doing, but never mind.
Don’t they owe us examples of what ‘promises’ this country hasn’t lived up to? Instead, we get more of the same elusive demands of ‘change.’
If they want to peaceably protest, they can do as the rest of us do and get a permit. None of us have the privilege of protesting on the job and getting away with it.
Maybe they could protest by purchasing ads during their games and see how that goes.
Coates is a racist blinded by the light; Hillary would too have been white, no? Really the DNC and their radicals have overstepped their mandate from heaven to give the devil his due; the devil is calling in the Obama marker and all the racist BS from the left cannot hide the corruption of the first black president,,, which is going to come out and tarnish the Marxists reputation along the reputations of all Marxtists.
I agree 100%. Repatriate them to mother Africa.
I believe you are correct, character, the folks involved lack character. NFL, National Felon League.
