This could be interesting.
If it continues for years to come, I wonder what happens to the young inner city kids who pinned their hopes on the possibility of a career in sports.
Fewer or no jobs in football, baseball, basketball, etc.
The Anthem Protests were merely the straw that broke the Camel’s back.
This has been brewing for a long time.
Good! Now as long as they remain consistent. I wish sometimes that I was an NFL supporter...a football fan....so I could quit and boycott them from now on. Truth is, I’ve always hated football,...pro as well as college...and all sports for that matter, except for classic boxing and womens’ MMA.
Too bad there’s not a “Despise” button on FB
“n Week 3 prompted by several rebukes from President Donald Trump...”. Nothing to do with Kaepernick? Ok
That’s not the way most people see it. The news media choosing sides.
Over-exposure, back in the day 2 games Sunday and then Monday night football add in Sunday night and Thursday and its too much.
“I wonder what happens to the young inner city kids who pinned their hopes on the possibility of a career in sports.”
You mean the young inner-city kids who are being taught to hate America thanks to their heroes? They may have to re-think their futures, considering the possibility of having to get a real job. Or welfare. Or lives of crime.
Oh. I said it tge other day. College football players are probably thinking ‘oh man Im gonna have to study’
There is a vote at the end of the article giving thumbs up or thumbs down for his unity request. Please go vote!
Supporteth the Ravens never more!
Not near enough to cause any concern for the NFL. As it is, you start seeing non-NFL fans "following" these teams just to counter the small declines, maybe enough to show an increase that will be reported in the MSM.
Too expensive, fleecing taxpayers, and the thuggery of many of the players.
They could do a circle jerk - that is something they could do together and show unity. But, they might already be doing that - or how about a team robbery of a store? A group trip to a strip joint and maybe beat up some girls?
After all - they say there cause (protection of black criminals against the police) is just.
That ignorant sports figures and entertainers have taken on the job of “unity” is a howler.
Another London game?
Let all the teams move to the U.K./EU/Dubai.
They DID demonstrate they will stand for God Save The Queen.
Thanks. Voted thumbs effing down. I always hated Rogers.
Just because they are following you doesn’t mean they LIKE you......................
