Be careful with such speech. FBI agents are watching us, and they might not want to take it lightly. But it’s cool with me. All I’m saying is, if the pampered football pre-madonnas think people have to watch them, they’re extremely mistaken. Same thing with the hollyweirdos and recording stars.

Before all this anti-American BS, most of the things I read about with the nfl were about their players constantly being arrested. Lot of good that does a community.

Yeah, well, she’s a government official. Is she speaking as a government official? Then she should shut up about this. It’s only a few steps away from government “talk” to government action. If people don’t speak up and tell government to pipe down, then often government “talk” leads to miserable and unconstitutional action.

DON’T give government, especially the power-and-money-hungry Dems, the benefit of the doubt. Take every opportunity to put them in their place where they rarely are.

I don’t think we need to make it about genetic characteristics, do we? Cultural values, yes. But genetics are not the problem.

And...ignorance is bliss, right? Unicorns *AND* fairy dust are real, right?

In nature vs. nurture, nature counts for a lot. How many other cultures have come to the US , and within a generation or two have success?

Don't tell me genetics aren't a problem.

And President Trump called for an appropriate response from his supporters, who are legion.

“genetics aren’t a problem.”

Cultural values are. Lousy political policies and implementation are. Sin is.

Genetics are not.

Personally I like soccer but only go to local games; have seen no political stuff of any kind.

Yes, let everyone including the cameraman kneel. Add the BLM fist too.

Lots of college games on.

I would recommend the nfl be very careful here. They are dividing their fans. They are setting up a lose-lose scenario. Eventually they will lose most of at least one side, maybe both.


Shhhhhh.

British and European soccer is good. So is South American, Asian and Australian. It’s American soccer that fails to draw crowds, so doesn’t draw good players, and Israel, while it has some good players and teams, can’t stack up against European soccer imho. We have great doctors and scientists, but not great athletes.

Why is the NFL throwing this issue in our faces? They make me puke.

The Democrats are showing their real Anti-American feelings.

Let them reap what they sow.

15 years ago we used to blithely say that political correctness is killing us. The Gullibles (about half the country) lie under the guillotine of all that was America and beg for the media and their controllers to drop the blade.
