According to one poster, that won't happen.
I have a feeling that one poster is none other than Fit?

What those overpaid, underbrained athletes are doing is unpatriotic in my opinion. You take football away from them and they'd be working at some menial job in their cities. It just torques me off to see them take a knee for all the poor underprivileged Blacks out there but in reality DO NOTHING FOR THEIR PEOPLE. Some have football camps and they think with that they are helping the Blacks plight but instead are using it as a tax write off. Spend your money you dips, as the saying goes: "put your money where your mouth is". They buy multi-million dollar houses and hire minorities and think they're doing them a service.
I would LOVE to know what I could do to show my displeasure over their stupid antics and it sure would be nice if all patriotic Americans would do the same. I'm sure that there are MANY Blacks that agree with me but there are many that don't but don't do anything to improve themselves but love to criticize because it was Trump who said it. Now, the thing that Trump did that was wrong was cuss in public. Sometimes even I cringe at his words but his message was right on...and screw Kaepernick. I'm glad that mediocre QB is out of work, he never was any good. What was good about it though is that he played for the Niners and they would lose with him.

Ollie... stop watching the NFL . That's what I did.

92% of bi racial babies are born out of marriage, with a black dude, 75% with black women. I bet a bunch of those guys are doing the same, with multiple women.

I'm sure there are quite a few people in the NFL who realize that the national anthem fiasco is not good and that there is a growing trend to tune out the product. I don't think what is happening this weekend explains all of the woes the NFL product is experiencing. While I think the anthem controversy is a significant player, it's a part of a larger set of problems that have weakened the product - specifically 1) new rules that are disrupting the flow of the game, 2) rules weakening the effectiveness of defenses in the league (like dubious "roughing" penalties and making formerly legal hits now illegal) and 3) excessive advertising spots that have affected the flow of the game.
The anthem controversy may be the straw that breaks the camel's back for a lot of fans. If the product was better and the anthem controversy was the only issue, you would not see such outrage from NFL fans like you see now - IMHO. However, when you combine a list of factors, the next gaffe is magnified and pisses more people off.
The NFL owners and the people that get paid by them don't realize that WE don't need football to survive. I used to watch baseball and now I can't remember the last time I watched a game not even for the WS. The players that are kneeling are biting the hands that feed them and that's the fans. How many Liberals do you think even watch or even know the rules to football? I'd say very little. Even our weatherforcaster is made fun of because he is a big time Liberal and he doesn't know squat about football.

Thats why I have never understood why celebrities would willingly get involved with politics. When your income depends on popularity---why would you do something that turns off half your audience? Why would you do something that turns off 10% of your audience?

All that needs to happen is the owners take the same path as Jerry Jones did or at minimum fine the HELL out of anyone that takes a knee. These prima donnas dont have the balls or conviction to continue this BS if their incomes are threatened.

To ensure you get invited to the the best parties in the Hollywood Hills. I mean, would you turn down free booze, drugs, and hookers just to sell a movie to normal Americans?
I know I wouldn't. Once I am famous you all are dead to me. DEAD!

Do they really not do anything for people or does that just sound good to you?
Kap is at around $1mm in charity right now. A pledge he made last year.

Trump was criticized by the left for doing the same thing. What's wrong with this picture? ...and how many have done what your hero Kap has done?
What he did is diss the flag that MANY gave their lives for and many who didn't still served under. I couldn't care less what YOU think about Kap or those others that are dissing my flag I'm also doing what you're not, defending it. There's a place for people that don't like the US and airplanes and boats go to them every day. So, I'd say to those crybabies that cry about injustices to try them out and see what it gets them.
