Average <******************>(NFL) player currently makes $2 million per year. Stadiums are filled by white people.

Every $dollar lost from attendance and advertising is almost all profit.

Eventually somebody will need to say uncle. They simply cannot afford to pay players for games not attended or watched.

I vow to keep doing my part.

Mod note:  Yesterday you were up against the line with that, and after some debate we left it alone.  Today it's over the line, and I suggest you knock it off.
By censoring my free speech, which is not in anyway disparaging, you move it more in the direction of what I stated.

What I stated is still true.

Why even bring race into it?

Stadiums are filled with people who pay extra taxes to get the thing built and then pay for a ticket to get in to see people who make a lot more than they do play a ball game. I'm sorry, but I don't get that so much, anyway, much less shelling out for OLP NFL merchandise. But, to each their own.

If people want to watch the overpaid insult their country, well, that's up to them.

It's still America. Just don't look for my face in the stands.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I've read today that not until President Obama inked a deal with the NFL with MILLIONS of $$$, did the the team members stand on the sideline during the National Anthem.  That was in 2009.

Prior to that, they were stretching or doing their football prep.

4 p.m.

Meghan Linsey finished singing the national anthem before the Seattle Seahawks game at the Tennessee Titans, and then the runner-up in “The Voice” took a knee as she finished. So did the guitarist accompanying her.

At least 130 players around the NFL sat or knelt during the anthems in the early games. The Seahawks and Titans didn’t come on the field until after Linsey finished singing. A handful of players stood outside the tunnel.

Earlier in Detroit, singer Rico Lavelle dropped to his right knee, bowed his head and raised his right fist wrapped around the microphone while finishing up his rendition of the national anthem before the Lions-Falcons game.


Reading this update, truly chapped my fanny.  The nerve!

Anyone who went to games or can do a youtube search can see that's not true.

It wasn't required then, but most lined up anyway.

Had to look up who Brandon Tatum was.  Thought he was an athlete. 

He's right., but I doubt the spoiled brats will listen.

Makes me wonder about the racists... 100 players took the knee. According to Google there are 1600 players. I saw that 70% of the NFL is black, meaning that probably close to 1000 black players didn't take the knee. Are they "n-words" too?

Standing on the sidelines during the anthem is a rule in the @NFL rulebook. NFL selectively enforces their "rules"!

OTOH......

32 teams times 40 man roster = 1280 players

< than liberal news outlets could have reported this as :

Go to any other sporting event, on the other hand, and the participants are pretty much always out for the anthem and invocation (do they even do invocations in the NFL?).
