Amen! “the only chance the NFL ever had to stop the inevitable destruction was to FIRE Kapernik Immediately...”

True and they didn’t. It was an in your face middle finger to the American people.

My entire family had been Niner fans because of great coaches, owners and players. When the current thug managers refused to get rid of Kapernik, that was it for us re the niners. We refer to them as the Former Niners.

Then, when the National Felon League fell in love with Kapernik, we boycotted the National Felon League for the rest of last year's season.

When this latest BS, kneeling instead of standing started, that was it. We even cancelled our Sling Orange TV and went to Sling Blue with zero ESPN/NFL/Disney channels.

I’ve always thought it was from the beginning.

I have got my comcast basic cable tv subscription in my crosshairs now.

at least cnn and msnbc bias had the “politics coverage” fig leaf. but not the NFL, and not the NBA.

if it is a planned roll out, then much of their argument that it was only 6 guys to begin with and trump is responsible for blowing it up to 200 guys is off the mark. in fact, none of us know what the future holds in store, not even trump. what does make some sense is that trump has his informants inside the NFL, and that the NFL had something (more) planned.

The sleeping giant has finally awaken. Been waiting 15 years for the NFL to get its payback. These protesters are speaking from their hearts.

Yes the protesters are speaking fro their hearts...they are totally fed up with this disgusting displays by the players, the NFL and the owners.

Unfortunately like Hillary...the media has them convinced they have (fake) support sufficient to keep this moving forward, but they're in for a very rude awakening....just as Hillary got.

Good, pull the cable cutting trigger.

Disney owns ESPN!

What networks/? does Disney own?:

Disney/ABC Television Group. Disney/ABC Television Group operates Disney’s broadcast television, cable television and radio businesses. ...
ESPN, Inc. ...
Walt Disney Parks & Resorts U.S., Inc. ...
Lucasfilm Ltd. ...
Marvel Entertainment, LLC.

If freepers are really serious about this issue, they can do two things this week:

1. Cancel/cut their cable and go to a good internet to stream the tv shows they watch. Disney/ABC/ESPN and the above are owned by Disney. Each month they get a huge share of your monthly cable bill. Cut the cable, and they lose that monthly bite out of your bill. You will save a lot of money each month.
2. Use Sling Blue TV for streaming the channels you will watch. Sling Blue does not carry ESPN or Disney. So, again the evil Disney/ESPN/NFL gay hate America liberals get nothing from you.

Talk and pompous threats are cheap and not that effective. Pulling the economic plug is like a laser guided smart bomb.

If you really want to smack/hurt ESPN/NFL/Disney just do #1 and #2 above. Also, you will save a lot of money each month.
