The ultimate in this season's haute couture ... a chic NAACP official protest shirt ... goes perfectly with your pussy hat ... makes the perfect libtard statement ... and helps that poor out of work jock land a much-needed job.

We should make some demands of our own to the NFL. We should ask for proportionate representation of Caucasians within those employed by the NFL teams. We should ask for salary caps, that equate to what the “common person” can earn in the real world. We should demand affordable ticket prices and free transportation, in case we want to go to any games.

Just gettin’ started...

I have to say that now I’m hoping so hard that he is placed on a major NFL team,great expectations, and fails spectacularly for everyone to see.

This is so simple.

Owners should say "When you're on the field on game day, you're on the clock. And when you're on the clock, you follow my rules. Protest on your own time, OFF the clock."

If these liberals are so concerned about him having a roster spot, why don't they buy a team and sign him?

Because unless they are a team owner, personnel decisions are none of their business.

If the NFL had just fined and suspended Kaepernik for a few games, this never would've gotten out of hand. Part of his JOB is to show respect for the flag and national anthem during opening ceremonies. I could see allowing players to stay in the locker room as an option. If they were sincere and weren't in it to make spectacles of themselves, that would've satisfied them. Goodell has made such a mess of things at the very time the NFL should've been totally focused on minimizing concussions that it might be beyond saving. Can ANYONE use their job to promote a political agenda without getting fired?

I wonder what would happen if a player refused to wear a silly pink ribbon for breast cancer awareness.....another endeavor that takes time and focus away from what should be the core issue.

What is wrong with Caucasian guys, except for President Trump and just a handful of others? They're handing this nation to people who will turn us to the same fate as that of other nations which have turned away from their origins.

Goodell should force the Cleveland Browns to hire Kaeperdick immediately and make him their starting QB all season long.

The media lol

“by THOUSANDS”
sure, last night it was approximate 1K and that is NYC midday. Most people were probably just standing around watching wtf was going on, but the left always inflates numbers. Sort of like that MASSIVE anti Trump protest in Arizona.

“According to Tim Rohan of TheMMQB.com, the group of activists who organized the rally — The People’s Consortium for Human and Civil Rights, led by president Reverend Stephen Green.”

For the first time, they have taken their “cause” off the field and put it into the system. Unfortunately they have taken it to the wrong people again. The NFL cannot do anything in the US that will make any difference. Take it to the politicians and embarrass some of them publically. They might as well have met at the Kodak Camera Company.

But let’s get to their “demands, they had three demands of the NFL.
1. That the NFL institute a policy to protect players’ rights to have freedom of speech, so they can kneel, raise a fist or express opinions on social issues, if they wish.”

Seen anyone stop them? Seen anyone get fined or suspended. The only one that probably put his foot in his mouth was Kaepernick. A failing employee of a failing company and they want to improve. He’s gone. And any business can determine the employability of a person if their attitude is not consistent with the business or creates bad PR through actions taken inconsistent with the owners and cost them money. So no one hired him as he continued his actions. Their battle is with the public, not the league.

2. That the NFL establish a review board to, Green says, “examine issues of social injustice.” As Tamika Mallory, a social activist and co-organizer of the 2017 Women’s March, put it in her speech, “The NFL, just like the NYPD, cannot police itself. Any organization that is only being looked at from within is a failing organization. There must be a unit of people internally and externally that look at racial and cultural sensitivity issues within the NFL.”

Heard of any? And Tamika Mallory is the daughter of parents who were founding members of Reverend Al Sharpton’s National Action Network, her formative years were spent attending protests and rallies. At just 15-years-old, she had become a staff member for the National Action Network. Mallory has since been a prominent civil rights activist and has worked closely with the Obama Administration on gun control legislation. In other words, another problem child that has never done anything productive in the world she is trying to “save” in her life.

3. And that the NFL develop some sort of program to “reinvest into the communities in which they serve, where there are high rates of unemployment, high rates of mass incarceration. To re-invest those funds into the community,” Green says.

The NFL is a business, not a philanthropy group. They are run just like any other business that handles a service to the public. Don’t try to force them to handle their financial part of the business. Additionally. The NFL foundation supports many charitable initiatives to further help the community to the tune of over $10 million a year. And the rest of their funds movement is way too large to point out like food banks, senior citizen donations,
This is getting long. And I don’t want it to. This rally was nothing m,ore than a publicity stunt to try to pressure the league, with stupid “demands,” to fold up to an outside source of activists, nothing more. The activists took it to the wrong place, talked to the wrong people, and had no rights to battle with, just PR thrashing You want to come up with something? I’ll back you. You want to throw mud at a business that donates millions of dollars to cities across the US every year, with nothing other than a disgruntled employee not being re-contracted due toi huis attitude and lack of support for the team, that made more money than most people will make in a life time in one year, You don’t get my support. You get my disgust.

These people are too stupid to understand, but if any team were willing to take a chance on Kap, and given his play it would be a big chance, this will cause them to back off. Who wants to have this kind of idiocy around their team when every NFL team is already under a microscope?

Have any of the advocates for Mr. Kaepernick said who they think should be fired and who should have their salary cut to make room for him. Teams can only have a certain number of players on the team and they must keep their payroll within specified limits. Have any of the active players advocating for him expressed a willingness to give up their slot or their salary to make room for him? Without his other baggage, a 30 year old 7 year veteran backup quarterback on the downside of his career cost a team almost twice as much as a rookie with future potential doing the same job.

Maybe she should screw him like she screwed baseball players in the movie.

Or remind him how to throw a football, he’d get a job then.
