The San Francisco 49ers are holding a press conference Thursday morning in which they will join with major police unions to sign a “Pledge for a More Understanding and Safer America.” The event takes place at 11:45 a.m., and the 49ers are contributing $500,000 to the campaign.

The pledge is combining more work in improving police and community relationships and legislative advocacy for things lock a bump stock ban, as well as bans on armor-piercing bullets and gun silencers. There had been talk about a bump stock ban following yet another mass shooting, this time in Las Vegas. However, as has become the standard operating procedure, all discussion of that appears to have stopped as people move on and stop thinking about the last mass shooting. We’ll see what actually comes of this advocacy.

When you watch the nfl or buy nfl merchandise, this is what YOU support.

Don’t know why the NFL or any of the owners would even consider indulging their whiney, over-priced, over-praised millionaire players like this, nor can I fathom why law enforcement would go along with it.

Make nice with the police unions and piss off the NRA members............they really are marketing geniuses, huh?

[Roman_War_Criminal]

And LE is willing to do this?
Why?

We are Finding other entertainment NOW!! We won’t give these basturds one more cent of our hard- earned money — so they can insult us at the games and use our money to try to shaft us with their anti-second amendment bullsheet?! screw them!!!!!!!

The union is more important than honor.

Don't forget to build "Awareness" too. Always need to "build" that one.

The deeper the owners cooperate with the players, the deeper they dig the hole for both of them. It’s not a prison run by the inmates, it’s a nursery school run by 5 year olds.

They just refuse to wake up and smell the latte.

Waiting for the Pledge for Less Domestic Violence and Safer Marriages.

They might first want to try to win a game.

I expect that soon NFL stadiums will look like the bar scene from Star Wars.

[faithhopecharity]

I’m waiting just for the Pledge of Allegirnce!

Advocacy? Advocacy for what?!

[dynachrome]

“Advocacy for what?!”

stalinism?

I expect that soon NFL stadiums will look like the bar scene from Star Wars.

I haven't seen Star Wars in many years, but as I remember it, the bar was full. Full of weirdos, yes, but full.

And the inmates will still kneel.

Plantation types

seems like the 49ers ought to be a little more focused on actual football games since they haven’t won any yet, but hey, i guess there are much more important things for an NFL football team to focus on than winning football games ...
