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.

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.

I think it would be more effective to add in the community and maybe focus on them more - very few “bad po-leece” incidents occur w/o some sort of ignition point by some “civilian”....

From the BBC. Paging law enforcement....

Why we're protesting during the US national anthem at American Football games

They're not protesting the troops. They're protesting cops. While on foreign soil, too.

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

Ok... What the NFL MUST do immediately is offer FREE game tickets to BLACK LIVES MATTER and all other black community activist so they can become more "inclusive" in the stands... There are FAR too many white people in the stands at the NFL games.... Free tickets to the black community is the only answer....

I am now demanding that they do this... It's only fair and just thing to do............

Have the 49ers become a “social welfare” organization?
If so, I shall never watch one of their games again!

Well, they tried football. Didn't work out.
