That’s a very well done meme.
I’m confused, are they protesting the treatment of blacks or have they moved on to protesting America as a whole?
Honestly, they seem to be blending it all together and now I haven’t a clue what’s got them so riled up.

Make every damn one of those players go spend time at a VA hospital and then come back and explain wth they are trying to achieve.

I’m guessing the end goal is destroying anything uniquely America and they used the lame and false BLM to get it going.

What a joke. Sorry NFL, I haven’t missed you at all.

Well said Sir! This sums up beautifully everything that has been said here.
This is a choice between God and Mannon. Between evil and good, between America the beautiful and America the ugly. Fans make your choice. You can’t have it both ways.

I have seen and paid for TWO NFL games. One was a playoff game at Dallas Stadium vs. the L.A. Rams in December 1976. End Zone seat about halfway up and including a 100 mile bus ride the ticket cost $15.00.

The last game I saw was the L.A. Raiders playing the Cleveland Browns at the Memorial Coliseum in 1992. That was when Al Davis benched Marcus Allen for most downs and they lost by 14 points. Haven't been back since and NEVER play too again.

Just watched the Anthem being sung to open the Vikings v. Buccaneers game on FOX.

TWO BUCCANEERS TOOK A KNEE!

Try parking near Jerry World for a game, you’ll end up paying at least $75, and I’ve even seen cases where they charge $200 to park.

As long-time businessmen, you’d think so! Hope so!

Spill the beans, Mr. President! ;)

I’m getting the sense that the upcoming “Civil War” won’t be as “Civil” as the left believes.

BTW, I know someone might ax, "But OKSooner, please reconcile your evidently strong opinion about dain bramage and football with the screen name you post with here at FR..."

Sure. Happy to do it and happy to save any interested parties the trouble.

Always been a football fan.

Always been an Oklahoma fan. Dad wanted me to grow up to be like Coach Wilkinson. In 1963 the guy who broke the color line at OU came to my segregated grade school and made a friend for life out of me.

[Fast forward]

Back in 1998, when I signed up here at FR, no one knew anything about this stuff we call CTE. In hindsight though, we've always observed a certain debilitation in boxers, haven't we? Paul Simon wrote a song about it, remember? "The Boxer".

Anyway, I'm married to someone who has me more aware of this than I might otherwise have been if I'd married someone else.

So what are people to do, live life in a bubble? No, I don't mean that at all. Life its own self is risky. But life does change as we learn things. That's why dad stopped smoking back in the 60's after the surgeon general told us smoking kills.

In time, most Americans are going to have their sons doing something else other than football, and this deal with the NFL is all about the money.

As soon as the numbers come back...the advertisers will "adjust" the value.

Betting there are new clauses and rates for future games based on attendance both live and via other mediums.

Just a wild guess. The direction Trump is pushing this, maybe the DOJ discovered donations to questionable anti-American progressive groups

Wanna bet that idiot PK Subban will pull a stunt? Was at the Blackhawks game last night and the anthem never fails to give me chills at the stadium.

Between God and Mannon?

Archie and his sons were and are good quarterbacks, but I'm sure God could read a defense better. He'd always know what they were going to do before they did it, would know who would be open, when and where, etc. If we could just get us some guys who could reliably catch the ball, the Super Bowl would ours. ;'^)

“NFL is very screwed”

I think management decided it was less risky to support the sit-downers and later reverse the decision if it proves a bad one rather than oppose the players and then reverse that decision if it proves bad.
