Michael Bennett: NFL is insincere if owners still support Donald Trump...
NBC Sports ^ | June 13, 2020 | Michael David Smith

One of the NFL’s most vocal players on issues of racial justice and police brutality isn’t ready to accept that the NFL is sincere about supporting the causes most important to him and his fellow players.

Michael Bennett, who is currently a free agent but has been in the NFL for more than a decade with the Seahawks, Buccaneers, Eagles, Patriots and Cowboys, told TheDailyBeast.com that the NFL is still a league run by several owners who have given significant money to Donald Trump, and if those owners are continuing to support Trump he doesn’t believe the league is sincere.

“If you’re supporting him, then your letter is really null and void,” Bennett said.

The soft bigotry of low expectations permeates the Negro Felon League.

Will these mouth flappers just once tell us what it is that’s supposed to make Donald Trump a racist.

I gave up on the Negro Felon League a few years ago. Doesn’t look like I’ll be going back any time soon.

Bingo.

Michael Bennett is insincere if he still supports racist, rapist Joe Biden and the Democrat slavery party.

Any guesses as to what Bennett’s IQ is? Any chance it could be over 70?

Upper Deckers Haven’t heard that classic descriptor since back in the 90s when there used to be early shock jock radio commentator (blanking on his name) that used to tell stories of leaving ‘upper deckers’ in the bathroom at parties where the host or hostess was not good or pleasant!

Who cares anymore about the NFL? Ultimately the owners made wrong decision years ago about how they ran their teams. It’s their loss. No conservative should watch this product ever again. The NFL lost me when they started kneeling. And thanks NBC for encouraging it. I will be free from NBC on Wednesday when I replace my ComCrap cable internet service. (No cable TV - just plain internet)

This is the entire argument of the Left in a nutshell.

“Once we declare someone is “bad”, they must be taken down simply because we say so.”

Totalitarian rule. Who is safe? Only those who kneel to lawlessness?

I thought the NFL was abut football but they’ve shown they are far more about politics. I don;t watch liberal crap so I see no interest in the NFL.

Overpaid mental midget thugs run the league. The NFL is pretty much a wrecked league.

In his career as a Seattle Seahawk, Bennet was known for his characteristic off sides penalties. He’s off sides here too.

It’s losing American patriots who love America and respect the flag who are going to be a problem for them.

But the soy boys are coming on board, now. They love the players' tight little pants. :)
