NFL is ruining their product....

It's only being ruined for triggered snowflakes who are losing one of their safe spaces.

Ah, yes, how dare people protest racial injustices.

It's not a black and white issue (as in simple right/wrong). I understand the racial injustice protesting, but try that at your job and see where it gets you. So while I sympathize with their cause, they are choosing the wrong venue to do it. Much like I don't like to go to concerts to listen to someone go on and on about some cause they champion. I didn't pay money to be preached to.

Now, having said that. Trump is 100% wrong on this. This is free speech, he has no say in it. I do agree, that it should be up to their bosses to decide to 'fire' them should they choose to because they are doing it at work. Regardless, for him to twist this statement into an attack on American values and veterans pisses me off to no end. What would he know about fighting for his country? He's using the idiots of the countries blind nationalism to divide this country even further in every possible way. The president should not be dividing the country every other day. He should be uniting the country. Not only that, with all the suffering happening right now with all the hurricanes, this idiot has better ways to spend all his energy than arguing with the NFL.

As far as I'm concerned, if that idiot can be allowed to spout off on twitter constantly falsehoods, etc, he has no say in what anyone else does. He only cares about his own freedom to speak his mind, not anyone elses. He is a true hypocrite in nearly everything he says. He needs to be knocked down a peg or two.

Anyone who pays 300 dollars a year to watch football will still pay 300 dollars a year to watch football. Most will be back. Refunds makes DTV to be the good guy and when it all calms down the zealots will return.

They're spending 3 minutes out of ten thousand in a week to peacefully protest. Just because it makes some people uncomfortable to confront reality, that doesn't make it the wrong venue.

If someone is paying money to watch you work, I would say it probably is, from a business standpoint. You want to make a difference, do some volunteer time, otherwise, you're being paid way more than 99% of the rest of the country to do a job and you don't represent, the 'average joe'.

Except you're not being paid to stand during the national anthem. Try again.

They are still playing no?

Want to get pissed at someone you are paying that is not doing his job? Try Trump.

 

[Sonikku]

What's important is that conservatives are too distracted from these non-issues to notice their party failed to get anything done or keep any of their promises yet again. This is all a bunch of misdirection.

There's just never a right time or place for black people to protest, apparently.

Try reading my first post. This post was in response to another quote.

When literally the whole point of the protest is to get people talking about it, it's really hard to argue that they're not being successful. I think football is literally the dumbest sport in the history of earth, and all fans of it are just fuckin assholes, and even I've heard about this. If the players were at risk of losing their job, you might have a point. Maybe. You don't have to agree with their point to know that they're making a point.

Fuck Trump and his cave-dwelling supporters

This was actually one of MLK's point in one of his statements.

OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS I HAVE BEEN GRAVELY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE WHITE MODERATE. I HAVE ALMOST REACHED THE REGRETTABLE CONCLUSION THAT THE NEGRO’S GREAT STUMBLING BLOCK IN HIS STRIDE TOWARD FREEDOM IS NOT THE WHITE CITIZEN’S COUNCILER OR THE KU KLUX KLANNER, BUT THE WHITE MODERATE, WHO IS MORE DEVOTED TO “ORDER” THAN TO JUSTICE; WHO PREFERS A NEGATIVE PEACE WHICH IS THE ABSENCE OF TENSION TO A POSITIVE PEACE WHICH IS THE PRESENCE OF JUSTICE; WHO CONSTANTLY SAYS: “I AGREE WITH YOU IN THE GOAL YOU SEEK, BUT I CANNOT AGREE WITH YOUR METHODS OF DIRECT ACTION”; WHO PATERNALISTICALLY BELIEVES HE CAN SET THE TIMETABLE FOR ANOTHER MAN’S FREEDOM; WHO LIVES BY A MYTHICAL CONCEPT OF TIME AND WHO CONSTANTLY ADVISES THE NEGRO TO WAIT FOR A “MORE CONVENIENT SEASON.”

What impact do the protests have on the product of bulky men in tight pants grappling each other?

 

[BarkingGhostar]

Ah, yes, how dare people protest racial injustices.

I do not sit down to watch football to watch protesters. Do it on your own time, not mine.

 

[sandorski]

Funny thing is, after Trump started this tirade against the NFL, TV ratings improved.

so don't watch until the game starts? are you really that dull?

if anyone cares AT ALL about what the players do during the national anthem then you have serious issues

 

[Thebobo]

I suggest they don't come out until after the Anthem just like they did until 2009.

Poor butterfly. Please don't shoot anyone over this.

Absolutely.

Violent protests = "those thugs should peacefully protest!!"
Peaceful protests = "those thugs are peacefully protesting wrong!!"

Thanks for sharing and I again MLK is right. By the way if you have not seen Selma, watch it, great movie! MLK is so eloquent in it.
