How long did you think a white guy could demand anything from black people. I mean, really.

A smart team owner would be selling now while there is still a market.

Black Power A Done Deal

Scurrilous Commentary by Fred Reed

"It is curious that blacks, the least educated thirteen percent of the population, the least productive,
most criminal, and most dependent on governmental charity, should dominate national politics."

"Yet they do.

Virtually everything revolves around what blacks want, demand, do, or can't do.

Their power seems without limit.

Courses of instruction in the schools, academic rigor, codes of dress, rules regarding unceasing obscenity, all must be set
to suit them, as must be examinations for promotion in fire departments, the military, and police forces.

Blacks must be admitted to universities for which they are not remotely qualified,
where departments of Black Studies must be established to please them.

Corporate work forces, federal departments, and elite high-schools must be judged not on whether they perform their functions

Do laws requiring identification to vote threaten to end multiple voting?
The laws must go.

Do blacks not like Confederate flags?
Adieu, flags.

Does Huckleberry Finn go down the Mississippi with the Nigger Jim, or Conrad write The Nigger of the Narcissus?
These must be banned or expurgated to please blacks who haven’t read them or, usually, heard of them.

Do we want to prevent people coming from regions infested with Ebola from entering the United States?
We cannot. - It would offend blacks.

We must never, ever say or do anything that might upset them, as virtually everything does.
It is positively astonishing.
One expects the rich and smart to have disproportionate power. But America is dominated from the slums."

It is my sincere hope that Roger Goodell is dethroned by this issue. He is not doing what his position calls for.

The NFL had no choice here. The players have all the leverage because every lawyer who has looked at the situation has advised the NFL that it can’t take any disciplinary action over this without renegotiating the terms of the collective bargaining agreement with the players union. Individual owners can actually as they see fit but they will have to honor a player’s contract even if the player is fired.

The NFL could use one of the bankruptcy laws given the huge decline in ratings and the high players contracts.Then sit down with the players union and ask how do we get our ratings back now that your players want to add political protest into what should be a football game.

Alternatively they could rename themselves into the World Football League and redesign their emblem to take out stars and red, white and blue since it is obvious they stand for nothing American. Maybe a red and yellow emblem with a communist fist somewhere would be more apropos.

Maybe if they tested for illicit drugs and performance enhancing drugs before every game and published the results each week. Then I would at least know who is walking the talk vs. talking the talk. It might make the game more interesting at this point. Imagine half a team getting caught on cycle? I would tune in for that.

I think they are indeed going to be worthless because if they go down to a certain level, say 50%, there are very few billionaires around to pay a bunch of black employees who REALLY control the NFL.

So, the deal breaker for people like Jerry Jones is they have lost control of 1,800 America hating black men!

That’s what investors will see.

NFL games will go the way of urban shopping malls. As fewer normals attend, the proportion of thugs will go up, which will drive more normals away . . .

"Perfect. $50 to the first player to use the anthem to post a “Choose Life” sign or banner and watch all the black bigots throw a fit. Raising awareness to social causes....what better than an anti-abortion message?"

I was going to post the same thought.

+1.

I cut all tv out of my life years ago. I got sick of all the morons in my living room ... especially the athletes.

Curling combines the worst aspects of shuffleboard, ice skating, and housework. ;-)

Leave it to the Scots to give us the two most impenetrable games in the world, curling and golf.

You aren’t going to replace fans with the same economic status. Even if you lower prices and fill the stadium with hoodlums, you’ll be driving away more of the paying fans.

Libtards don’t spend money on football, hood rats aren’t going to make up the difference either.

This is permanent damage in a demographic they could not afford to lose.

I am so happy to hear this. They truly deserve what they will get.

I tutored football players at Texas A&M and from that experience I have chosen to have nothing to do with football. This kneeling crap is not surprising. I think the players should be deported to Libya. All if then. They clearly don’t like being Americans.

This is like the Target Boycott - it picks up many people that may not even be political but they are simply disgusted and turn away.

Goodell and the players should stick their heads in their rear ends all day every day—stop pretending that they are not total jerks.
