I'm sure they've already seen it, and called the author an uncle tom.

It doesn't fit their narrative, so why would they pay it any attention? Why... I'll bet you didn't even bother reading it. You can't refute it, so why bother, right? Lets just make jokes because ya got nothing else.

Nothing.

At least they had the nerve to take a stand for what they believe.
(Ok, that was not phrased well....)

Dude, it is a race issue. They are kneeling because blacks are getting killed too often by the police.

The reason they were kneeling - it really did not matter to you, did it?

Do you think Kaperdick woulda taken a knee if he was a starting QB... I kinda doubt it... He was protesting something else..

It's actually an interesting study brew. It's a long read, but has more information than many so far.

It does say there are an equal number of deaths for blacks. But it does also say there are a larger number of negative interactions for blacks.

Worth reading... the higher number of negative interactions could theoretically lead to the perception of higher deaths.

It does not go into the repercussions police get when killing an unarmed black vs a white, which is part of the protests. But the study is worth reading.

Just because the other side refuses to believe valid science on climate change in favor for bull**** is no reason to act the same.

he didn't "take a knee" the first time ... he was slouched on a corner of the bench ... the general impression at the time was that he was depressed over being benched ... later, after reporters began questioning him over why he wasn't standing for the anthem, he seemed confused at first, then eventually came up with the oppressed black story ...

this last spring, after not finding himself to be a hot property in free agency as he imagined he was going to be, he made an announcement that he would be standing for the anthem now, since his original objectives had been achieved ... now that he still can't get a job, he's suing the league for conspiracy to deny him a job ...

well, no one has accused him of being overly bright and his behavior from he beginning has done nothing to dispel that notion should it somehow occur to someone ...

I always stand, remove my hat and put my hand over my heart during the anthem...well not usually at home or in the car...but when in public and others might judge. .

Wait - aren't you one of the guys that don’t believe in climate change caused by industrial pollution even when NASA says so? Did not fit your narrative, right?


A lot of people feel there is an issue, and they are speaking out. A demand of patriotism. Bully for them....

You are wrong for starters because it is about oppression and only a couple have even mentioned the cop angle. Oppression is not a race thing (even though people want it to be) at all it is a poor thing, look up the statistics on crime areas. The poorer the area the more crime because people will do whatever when they don't care anymore and it snowballs from there. Oppression is about wages but people that do not understand that make it a race thing. I live in a poor area and it is probably 75% white and we struggle as a community to stay afloat (drugs have nearly taken over the area to the point even school teachers and lawyers are using) so oppression is not a black or white thing but a wages thing!

So the solution for all that are not involved, play or own NFL teams....is to not watch. I mean football is on its way out anyway. it won't be a high school sport in the near future. It's like BEEF, you spend way too much on help, food, land, and water to raise a cow. Its like taking a bite out of hamburger and throwing it away...well thats the beef industry.
