The National Football League on Tuesday said the social justice issues raised by former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick “deserve our attention and action.”

“The National Football League believes in dialogue, understanding and unity,” Jocelyn Moore, the NFL's executive vice president of communications and public affairs, said in a statement. “We embrace the role and responsibility of everyone involved with this game to promote meaningful, positive change in our communities. The social justice issues that Colin and other professional athletes have raised deserve our attention and action.”

Social justice advance by people who make millions for a few minutes work.

The fans will not support Black Lives Matter football or Obama’s War on Cops.

And what about Social Justice for WHITE PEOPLE?

The Negro Football League is overwhelming racist. Only about 28 percent of players are white.

I demand they fire and get rid of some qualified and competent black players. And replace them with less than competent white guys.

Affirmative Action either works both ways or is is just another racist lie.

Kaepernick is a black racist.

That is all you need to know. Kneelers are not Americans, they are racist pretenders

You have attracted my attention and I choose not to support what you are selling...…...Good bye NFL for the second year in a row.

Could these people possibly be any dumber?

Well, Mr NFL...you’ve got some gigantic outdoor courtrooms. Hold the hearings there.

Y’know... unless you’re praying to God or supporting Christianity or supporting the country.

Those issues? Not important.

Over 90% of black murder victims are killed by their own kind. Are these people aware of that fact?

No, it doesn’t. These overpaid millionaires (and not known for their great intellect) crying over social injustice is a farce.

Why? Your racket is football not social engineering. The congress was elected to do that.

What social justice issues are we talking about?

Nike, tell me all about social justice. Nike tell me about the child labor in your Asian sweatshops. Nike tell me about paying people 30 cents per hour to work in your factories. Nike tell me about about shoes which cost $5 to make which you sell to indigent slum children for $200 a pair. Yes Nike, tell us all about "social justice".

Talk about the absolute height of stupidity! The anti-American, PC Pink, SJW, black racist, hate whitey, hate law enforcement, hate the U.S. military, hate the country, hate the AMERICAN flag, hate the AMERICAN National anthem, "national felon league" keeps spitting on the country, spitting in our faces and strangling their way past dead now former fan-base "goose that laid the golden eggs".

The nfl is dead and it's never coming back.

The NFL are cornered by the players union, the media, and Left wing corporate PR execs. They trapped themselves, and are begging the fans to save their hides.

Well, there are almost NO Asians in the league. And one year there were only 26 Latinos out of almost 1700 players.
