NFL players are spending too much time in prison, rather than on the field, apparently.

That’s just labor relations. This bill will be of direct benefit to their players.

If this were Minority Report, the NFL would be disbanded due to the future criminal acts from these animals.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have apologized to local military leaders for demonstrating during the national anthem in London last month.

Mission Creep.

They forgot that their business and source of wealth is entertainment.

Soros and his PACs are working with the players’ union.
It’ll be like. “We won’t kneel if you work on social justice.”
Next it’ll be, “We won’t kneel if you work on justice reform.”
Next it’ll be, “We won’t kneel if you work on reparations.”
It will never be enough, once they give an inch.

No, a White management guy apologized because Jax is a huge military town. The brothas haven’t said squat.

Well, being fewer and fewer kids being allowed to play football, they’re going to have to go somewhere to replenish their talent pool...

For weeks I was quietly hoping that something could be done to save the league and that the Kneegros could find a way to save face and stop behaving like children, but now I understand there’s no hope for that, so as far as I’m concerned the league is officially dead to me. I can only hope that millions more will feel the same way.

Maybe Papa Soros should just buy out the owners now that he’s driven the value down just like he does with foreign currencies and sovereign debt.

I’m not familiar with the prison reform bill but I am all for prison and mental health reform.
