Gotta realize who watches football. Those snowflakes having nervous breakdowns because of the election aren't big vans. Insult your fan base and you will be washing cars next year.

I’m a YUGE football fan. What’s worse is the only other sport i like is boxing.

But you know what.

#### em. That means I wont be watching any games but my home team as long as they’re competitive AND no one kneel on either side.

I dont watch the other day game, monday night or thursday night now.

My team’s off week, I dont watch any games.

A typical racist African millionaire who hates uppity white men. Trump is our Rosa Parks. Get over it Mike.

So, if blacks criticize a white president, is that racist?

Oh well, in school we always used the term “dumb jock”.

Never knew how close to correct that was.

(As a counterpoint, one of my best friends in college was a EE...and a linebacker...who had a better GPA than I. So, some of those jocks ain’t dumb.

But the kneelers are.
