Haven't watched, listened to, or attended an NFL or NBA game in at least 20 years. The last movies I attended were Star Wars and Harry Potter with my kids. Nothing since then.
I told my BIL, an avid fan of pro, college, and high school sports that I care nothing about who wins or loses and what any of the pro players say or do. He was a bit stunned, but maybe he understands a bit more in the past few weeks.

• 42.6% of victims of all solved criminal homicides from 2009-2012 were black males
• 89.6% of black males killed in criminal homicides from 2009-2012 were killed by another black male
• 40.6% of the police officers murdered in the line of duty from 2009-2012 were killed by black males*
• In spite of these statistics, only 32.2% of the deaths from police use of force from 2009-2012 involved black males
* www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/leoka
These data suggest yearly averages of:
• 120 black males are killed each year by police use of force
Of the 1,491 persons that died from police use of force from 2009-2012:
• 915 (61.4%) were white males
• 481 (32.2%) were black males
• 48 (3.2%) were males of other races
• 28 (1.9%) were white females
• 15 (1.1%) were black females
• 4 (0.2%) were females of other races
Compare this to the following averages:
• 38 black males are killed each year in negligent accidents
• 162 black males are killed each year in justifiable homicides by citizens acting in self-defense
• 4,166 black males are killed each year in criminal homicides (murders & man slaughters)
Police-Related Killings and Black Males
• This suggests yearly averages of:
• 120 black males are killed each year by police use of force
• Compare this to these additional averages:
• 2,369 black males are killed each year in the U.S. in motor vehicle accidents*
• 2,532 black males commit suicide in the U.S. each year**
• Race statistics are not available on lightning strikes***

I hope he’ll go against the war on Christmas this year. It is a oldie but goodie.
Robert Kraft doesn't give a darn about America, the patriots or the fans. ALL Kraft REALLY CARES ABOUT IS THE MONEY!
The so-called "patriots", along with the entire NFL is dead.
They are being forced to play his game. and he’s using their own rules.
Aaron Blake is taking the bait.
Think Trump has gone “full scale culture war” with the morons of the NFL?
Nope.
Trump is reflecting what most of us THINK about the haughty millionaires playing for billionaires in the taxpayer subsidized, anti-trust protected football league.
The NFL should have stopped the cop-hatred, flag-hatred and nation-hatred when it raised its ugly head. But it didn’t.
Now, it’ll pay a price.
Trump is reflecting...and it really isn’t a full scale war, Aaron. All this is is deciding to turn away from bigotry, racism, and cronyism within the NFL.
Kind of like the Washington comPost losing money—it is a sure thing.
Here is a strategic difference between Obama and Trump:
Obama creates enemies of straw and imagines defeating them with comically self-centered rhetoric.
Trump creates enemies of men and evokes within them an impassioned drive to defeat themselves.
It does not take a multi-dimension chess master to predict that poking an already-annoying slimy pig would make it squeal fingernails on the chalkboards of America's true patriots.
They rather it had played out like it did with the unopposed Red Guard actions in Stalin's Soviet Union and Mao's China.
The NY Times' history reveals they played the same role of supplying "Fake News" to cover-up for Stalin and for Castro: See the false reporting of the Reporters Walter Duranty in 1930s Russia & Herbert Matthews in the late 1950s Cuba.
Good post and telling the truth is basically a criminal offense.
the deep state know the rules that trump is using, too.
That’s exactly what this is. THey’ve had control of education, the media, and pop culture so long they actually think everyone is a left-leaning Hollywood-loving queer who thinks like they do.
So is the politically dark side of the NFL.
Trump knows decent people hate the Kapernick Crusades.
He knows the NFL is already tanking since they began.
He knows more kneeling will cause NFL to tank more.
He knows his tweet will cause more kneeling.
Just like the enemy media paid for most of his publicity during the campaign, now the enemy league is self-promoting a fan boycott he endorsed. And Trump will then claim credit for winning when the NFL predictably loses more viewers as they were already on a projection to suffer.
Real men stand for their National Anthem and kneel only before God
