continues to lie that racism does not exist in the USA except in the South

I never said that, nor is it true.

continues hating us to this day

I never said that, nor is it true.

>>can’t even comment on the US flag without denigrating the South RATs

where the blame belongs.

What, are you a democRAT? If so...wear it.

The owners are about to learn about “capitalism in action”.

Their money, their lesson.

(boycott the dirtballs!)

The Abolitionists became the Republicans.

The Confederates became the Klan, segregationists, Dixiecrats.

The South seems pretty much all done with that. (I assume you’re not a klanRAT)

If Trump supporters stop buying products advertised on NFL games and stop watching the games the NFL is finished

ESPN/NFL/Disney no longer make a penny from this cable cutting family! (cut our cable in June)

How to use Sling TV Blue to slice the $’s from ESPN and Disney.

When anyone cuts their cable, Sling is a reasonable alternative for streaming via the internet.

We had both the Sling Orange and Sling Blue. One of our relatives, who hates ESPN/NFL gave us a great heads up.

Sling Blue doesn't carry any ESPN or Disney channels.

We didn't watch ESPN or Disney, however, they were getting money from us by our subscribing to Sling Orange each month when we paid our Sling bill. The same happens with your standard cable contract. ESPN and Disney get paid each month from your subscription if you watch them or not.

I got that info from my our relative. A few minutes later I had cancelled Sling Orange. So ESPN and Disney get zero money from my Sling Blue monthly subscription payment.

What Is Sling Blue?:(from their site)

Sling Blue costs $25 per month and gives you access to 43 live channels. However,

Blue does not include every Orange channel by default; there’s no Disney and no ESPN, for starters.

Spend the money you would spend on sports, cable tv ..Hollywood “entertainment” on your family. Have a cook out, take a day trip, and or go camping.
Help a neighbor with kids or a older person.
Have a block party?
Stop spending it on people you really don’t know. Who apparently don’t want or care to know you.
Stop making ungrateful ingrades6 rich!

I am not done with states rights. States can and should unilaterally secede if the voters in that state say so. I think CA can and should secede. It has nothing to do with slavery or any other specific issue. I think the Red states should consider leaving. Trump is the last chance to save the American Empire.

Not all of CA, NY, IL etc share the political stripe of their communist big cities.

How about if instead of seceding, we demand all those sanctuary cities “go their own way” with no federal revenue sharing, and considering their massive illegal voter “irregularities” and violations....disregard their fraudulent election returns.

(All the while vigorously deporting all the wetbacks and other illegal aliens alike.)

And then let the states decide what they want to do with these disenfranchised, bankrupt hell-holes.

Great idea! I’m in. You should consider starting a new thread about this.

Like the events leading up to the NIKA RIOTS in 532 AD, which began as chariot races and soon became political statements.

Left the NFL over 10 years ago. It became all about the money and less about the game. Thus, they allowed football players with gang connections to become professional players. Without a game, the players are meaningless. Additionally, the league championed parity. That only hurts the game. Thus it is rare to see a good game played by an exceptional team of players.

>>backing players to use their platform in order to draw attention to political issues.

I thought for decades political protest was prohibited in the civic stadiums at sporting events. No political banners, no matched shirt protests, no no no.

So now the playaz can disrepect the national anthem and the US flag and the taxpayers PAYING their stadium bills and yet those same fans must “sit down and shut up” inside that same stadium?

FUNFL

"There is no greater unifier in this country than sports, and unfortunately, nothing more divisive than politics."

Kraft is afraid to say who first injected politics into sports, so he takes the cowardly way out and blames Trump.

irony is that supply side economics made owners & players rich, but players gave their money to get Obama elected to run against supply side economics, which created all that wealth...all those ESPN stations creating good jobs for women & blacks....... question:
do NFL players who are free agent,salaried private contractors.....pay “Cadillac taxes”...considering they use team doctors, trainers, facilities, team planes...eat team meals, etc?
