The Hill ^ | 09/04/18 | Michael Burke

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.”

And the NFL deserves and will get my middle finger.
Shove it.
Deep.
Often.
And painfully, buttwipes.

Today’s script has been written and read, and Big Media is looking for something to lead tomorrow besides loud whining childish ‘Rats at Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing.

Fine. However, the NFL doesn’t deserve the attention or the money of those who oppose their political stance.

NO, you DONT believe in “dialogue”

You’re so quick to censor, yet let a black guy come out with the BS and you cower like scared little white bois.

Which is what you are

LOL, the NFL quadruple-triples down on stupidity.

Die, NFL, Die.

Good riddance. It can’t come soon enough.

Just waiting for each stadium around the country to become a kid’s soccer field.

So when do Veterans and other patriots get their “social justice” for those who disrespect their sacrifice and disrespect the American symbol of the flag and national anthem.

I realize that I still don’t really know what “social justice” issues Colin was trying to raise awareness of.

Was it something to do with how only rich people and criminals can afford Nike shoes?

The kneeling woke me up to the idiocy in the NFL-—the calls of “social justice” caused me to turn off the NFL for good. Bunch of idiots that stand for the oppressive “God save the Queen” then kneel for the “National anthem”...ignorance at its best.

And WHY is the NFL weighing in on what Crapnick is doing? Crapnick is a former player. Not even in the game anymore.

I guess the NFL wants to double down on stupid. Not a surprise.

It’s been a garbage product for years before this kneeling dog squeeze. They should just have chest slapping and celebratory dancing competitions, that’s what the players seem to dig.

Apparently they weren’t losing viewers, season ticket holders and ad revenues quickly enough.

Really?

Criminals who hate the police deserve our attention?

I don't think so.
