And yet blacks were worse off after Obama than before. He didn’t do a damned thing for them, but their minds are closed to explanations.

Maybe they should just start the game with an opening prayer.

“Big brands including Anheuser-Busch InBev, Barclays, Bose, Bridgestone, Campbell’s, FedEx, McDonald’s, Microsoft, Nationwide, Nike, PepsiCo, Ticketmaster, Under Armour, and Visa. “

We know who to boycott now.

Yeah, I know. The likelihood of avoiding what is coming is about the same for football and North Korea.

I’m sure Muslims would go along with that,
providing Allah got equal time. LOL

There's a Mr. Milquetoast, by H.T. Webster, which is somewhat similar to the below, in the manifestation of his defining timidity. It shows him at ramrod attention next to his sofa with the caption,

THE LITTLE BOY NEXT
DOOR HAS BEEN PRACTICING
THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER
FOR THE LAST TWO HOURS

... not sure which way that leans, come to think of it!

Nope, the a-holeness has extended to the game itself: seattle seahag Bennett tackled a white qb last week and then gave the black power fist gesture.

Getting rid of the National Anthem will not solve the nfl’s problem.

I’ve often wondered how much bias could be avoided if we take all the adjectives away from journalists.

This was the final punch the NFL needed. Now as the league defends the disrespectful players and doubles down on Trump attacks look for the ratings to be dismal.

I hope he got an excessive celebration penalty. Or maybe taunting?

So Yahoo is trying to say it is pointless for us to boycott football. Will see about that. Maybe you’ll be next Yahoo.

“The solution is to stop playing the anthem before games.”


Too late for that. We now know what these over paid children think of us. If you support trump, are conservative, and still support this country, you are a racist. A bigot. Your holding these million dollar black men down.

They play the National Anthem at Knotts Berry Farm before they open the gates in the morning. Really neat. Anyone kneals there will get trampled on.

To save time, I’ve already decided I’m racist and a bigot. If this keeps up, and it will, the next step is white supremacist. If you’re going to pay a penalty for something, you might as well get some use out of it. :)

None of the news articles that I checked mention a penalty against that raysisss prick bennett. If the gesture went unpenalized, the nfl must love it long time.

Relax, its not so bad. Using the definition of racist being tossed around these days, most all white people are racists.

Professional football is dying.

Fewer parents are allowing their boys to play because of the fear of injury. Young people are cutting their cables and are less interested in sports.

The NFL giving normal people the finger will only accelerate the decline.

This is Battlestar Galactica weekend on SyFy if you want something to replace football for a while. They’re replaying the whole shebang. And so say we all.
