From nearly 1,000 miles away, several Redskins players used the Monday Night Football stage to draw attention to the situation that has been unfolding in Ferguson, Missouri by running onto FedExField with their hands up in the air.

Give me a break..This shows how ignorant these players are and shows me they could not hold down a real job that takes brains..I really hope the people of this country stops going to these games or paying money to anyone who is for this thug..

Sheesh! “I can rob a store, I can strong arm people. I can get high on drugs. I can attack a police officer”.
Just the kind of person we need to hold up as a hero....
Way to go, Media whoring Dead Skins! It is one way to get attention, since you aren’t going to get it by having a winning season..

Of all these guys, Ryan Clark should be smarter than this. He’s a sharp dude and I thought pretty level headed. Oh well...another set of brainwashed fools.

“Even NFL football players can’t be that stupid.”

Indeed, it is quite difficult to become as corrupt, crime ridden, and idiotic as the NBA, but it would appear that the NFL is coming along quite nicely.

What color is 90% of athletes? It doesn’t matter the facts,a white cop shot a black man. That’s all most need to know.

[Gabrial]

Yep. I agree. Anyone of them could steal and commit assault and battery.

[autumnraine]

How did it prove that? I just want to know for discussion sake.

“That could have been any one of us,” said free safety Ryan Clark. “That could have been any one of our brothers, our cousins… When you get an opportunity to make a statement, and be more than a football player, it’s good.”

If it weren't for (ridiculously) high paying jobs as athletes a lot of these "people" would probably be selling crack or boasting convenience stores.

[Drango]

Must SEC grads...

[FoxInSocks]

Wow, these players and the team are getting excoriated at the CBS site.

[Sir Napsalot]

Because otherwise people won’t give a d@mn what these people (by themselves) think, just how they perform on the field.

[Fido969]

The NFL used to be the hallmark for respect, self-sacrifice and Christian behavior.

Now, from ownership to the least player, they become a hedonistic bunch of prima-donna thugs.

There is nothing decent about pro football anymore.

[HereInTheHeartland]

Many NFL players are familiar with having their hands in the air.
Maybe someone yelled FREEZE as they were running out.

[Iron Munro]

It would have been more realistic if they each ran out waving a box of stolen Swisher Sweets and puffing on a big cigar filled with marijuana.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I agree. That’s why I don’t waste my time watching any of that showboating crap anymore. Back in the 70s, I LIVED to watch the NFL. It was a sport in those days. Now it’s just a bunch of showboating entertainers.

[listenhillary]

That’s encouraging.

[MrB]

They’re sticking to the original narrative regardless of the evidence or facts of the matter.

[JohnBrowdie]

the nfl has has jumped the shark, as they say. it now resembles professional wrestling more than an actual sport; more spectacle than anything else.

and unless they are stopped, they plan on doing the same thing to college football.
