Looks like the memo has gone out from Commisar Goodell to NFL owners about respecting diversity blah, blah blah. Kraft is a scumbag too. Turned pretty quickly on his friend Trump. As for my Giants, I’m now on a season long boycott against them. It makes it easier that they are terrible, but the Maras turned on Trump too and thus they can go screw. I’ve had it with all of them. Bye bye NFL.

I give you the news cycle for the next week. This will dominate … divert attn from the health care & immigration disasters from the “master negotiator” … and Trump will continue being unscathed & worshipped by his MAGA church. You really have to be biased & close-minded beyond words to not at least consider that there is as much a chance that Trump is a closet Dem/liberal Manchurian candidate as the conspiracy that Obama is a Kenyan-born Muslim.

"Our players are intelligent, thoughtful and care deeply about our community and I support their right to peacefully affect social change and raise awareness in a manner that they feel is most impactful."

I'm perfectly "aware" of the issues, Mr Kraft. I suspect I've given them much more serious thought than you or any of your SJWs. I disagree with them, and with you.

I find their sanctimony tiring and their 'activism' presumptuous. And I'm not alone.

Condescending to your client base seems a poor business model, Mr Kraft. Trying their patience and good humor by treating them as a captive audience seems equally poor.

Sometimes the squeaky wheel gets the grease, Mr Kraft. Considering the mood of your client base, the squeaky wheel might just get replaced.

The change you and they seek may not be the change you get.

They’re attempting to conflate what Trump said as attack on the entire NFL.

Trump called out the idiot SJW’s.

Nice try Kraft.

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!

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

>>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?
