“White silence is incredibly powerful,” said Savala Trepczynski, executive director of the Thelton E. Henderson Center for Social Justice at UC Berkeley. “It’s not neutral. It acts like a weapon.
All white people in the media and sports etc will be bludgeoned with this now.
Insanity reigns.
Switch to the NHL and forget the NFL and its political circus.
Nothing says ‘I’m sorry’ like a boatload of of money... And they paid off Kaperdink to make him go away.
HE’S A NUTBURGER.
Is Colin even black ?
Kaepernick owes the American people an apology. If Goodell allows players to kneel during the National Anthem, the NFL should fold up its tent and disband.
Colin Kaepernick only took a knee during the Obama administration. Since Trump became President, he hasn’t taken a knee once.
Roger Goodell and Colon Kaepernick owe the American People an apology.
Roger Goodell still owes Colin Kaepernick an apology.
Right...sorry you were ever part of the NFL, asshole.
Here is the kicker (pun), this doofus self loathing Jew actually thinks the NFL lost revenue because Goodell did NOT actively, publicly support Kaepernick and the other kneelers.
When the season starts, and ALL of the players start taking a knee during the National Anthem, the NFL THINKS this will bring in millions more fans.
The same way that Nike was willing to abandon patriotic Americans for the black hoodlums, in order to make MORE money.
This policy change assures the end of the NFL, and any other professional sport that showcases the disrespect of the American flag.
Watch the NFL (and ESPN) lose even more revenue in the coming years.
If you’re going to turn the whole thing into a clown show that has nothing to do with football, then you might as well do it for real.
watch your local high school 2,3,4 A football
I did not even know Izenberg was still alive. I saw him speak at some local event when I was a kid in the 1970s. He seemed old then.
That should eliminate another 25% of the fans.
Pro sports has been bad for America for quite some time. Consumers should defund it, get off their couches, and get some healthy exercise.
They can all come back in a year or however long it takes and start up when it's safe. Until then, just keep the sports people talk about contracts, arrests, social justice and wife-beating. What a great escape from everyday news.
What will Jerry Izenberg do when pro-football is less popular than girls’ lacrosse?

BS. Kaepernick was released by the 49ers because he wasn’t any good any more. That’s why he was out, he wasn’t a quality NFL QB any longer. Just like ole RG3. He got hurt, his game was over because he was a runner. The guy up in Baltimore probably runs the same road unless his passing game improves and he stops all this running. It also happened to Cam Newton. All these QBs whose main thing is running will get injured. They will fall apart, all of them do. If they stay in the pocket they will probably last 15 years. If they run, then they are done in 5 to 8 years. It happened to Kaepernick. It will happen to the guy in Baltimore (sorry at this exact minute I cannot remember his name). Simply, Kaepernick is not good enough any longer. He got his money. Give it up. Let him join Al Sharpton’s outfit. He is more fit for that than being a QB in the NFL.
