Absurd.
Yep, that premise is just plain insulting.
Isn't it interesting that judges who say its alright for the players to KNEEL during the National Anthem still want you to STAND when they enter the courtroom?
The NFL permitted its players to disrespect our country and our heroes. At the same time, it is also selective in its prohibition certain types of expression that it doesn’t like by players who have conservative leanings.
We too are selective in what we choose to watch and many of us have decided not to watch others who insult our values.
Idiot conflates the NFL and football several times. They aren’t.
I don’t think it’s reversible. I have a saying I use when someone betrays me:
I’m not angry. I just see you differently.
Once you see the man behind the curtain, you can never go back. You just see it differently.
But it is true, just not for the demographics the author intended. Think: political class vs. We the Peons.
OWNER #1: Look at that goofy Kaepernick!
OWNER #2: What's he doing with that kneeling?
OWNER #1: Just stirring up needless trouble.
OWNER #2: Well, He'll be gone next year.
OWNER #1: His coach should stop this right now - fine him and bench him for a couple games.
OWNER #2: Ahh... Let him go. What can it hurt? It's not like it's gonna' cost us money.
You’re referring to the poor grammar? (we vs. us)
It's permanent damage when enough moms and deads decide their sons won't be playing football. The combination of the potential for permanent injury, the lack of patriotism from so many NFL players, the example it sets when owners and coaches don't set standards, and the thuggishness that is setting the tone is an awful lot to turn around. When it's over is when some high schools start dropping their teams, when salaries start getting cut and when those with permanent injury (retired, pro, college and younger) get aggressive about lawsuits because they aren't sure there will be anyone to sue in a few years.
What happens when (not) if insurance is dropped or made prohibitively expensive for college, HS, and Pop Warner football?
An elementary error.
WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH FOOTBALL?
As with others, stopped watching what little I did watch last year.
I don’t give anything to an organization that DISRESPECTS me (for the homies that don’t get it)
I’m guessing the NFL will cease to be within the next 5 years, maybe sooner if the sweetheart TAX breaks go away.
No. Look at the stadiums, NOT the revenue #s or the ratings (both bad).
The stadiums tell you what is coming. Season ticket holders can’t leave, having prepaid. But all of the daily tickets? Not selling. This will affect season ticket holders later.
When the $s start sinking, the “stars” won’t get as much money. More rebellion against white oppression.
This is just the beginning of the collapse. I expect Dallas, Philly, GB, NE, and perhaps the Lions to have nearly full stadiums. But that won’t be enough.
Social responsibility ? They are actually snatching gold chains from the opposing players necks during the game. Its worse than a circus.
Too late.
No NFL for me forever
This will knock “New Coke” down from the top spot on the list of BIGGEST STUPID & AVOIDABLE MANAGEMENT SCREW-UPS.
“Good riddance to the NFL.
The racism and anti American acts that have been commited will never be forgiven or forgotten.
GTHNFL”
Yes, and since this “sport” is dominated by Blacks, let’s move the whole shebang to Africa, and see just how it is “received!” Replace Goodell with Robert Mugabe, he has the time to be “commissioner” now.
............well, one “inequity” is that 90% of young black male deaths are committed by young black males NOT police.
When Colin and his brothers and their MSM “partners” and assorted feel good Liberals start preaching this “inequity” as vehemently as they do some of their other “inaccuracies” maybe they will gain “a little” traction.
Until then, to hell with the NFL. I quit watching it 20 odd years ago.
If they want to get a few white viewers back, a first step is a hair cut for many of them.
Time to start a new American Football League.
