Guess who will loose when NFL is starting to loose money!

Not the NFL as they will drop him and his buddies like a rock.

We probably will see some muslim group start yelling about racism or anti muslim sentiment but we are by now so used to that pathetic tactic.
The NFL isn't gonna lose any money in your lifetime, so don't hold your breath.

Don't know, but it doesn't matter. The NFL has a huge TV contract that isn't going anywhere. Deal with that too.

He isn't handling either well. Of course this might be hard for you to understand.
No one cares about Tebow. He's finished.

I hope so. I'm black after all so that's a compliment.

Why is kneeling "disrespectful?" And a flag is incapable of receiving respect so why do you care?

Fast forward to today....and in the intervening years he has proven them all true. A true tragedy for America and for his legacy.
unfortunately race relations have suffered so much in recent years, it might take a decade to get back to the level we saw a few years ago.

So what? And besides, how would you know?

He'd come out a hell of a lot better in that walk than YOU would! And that's him being unarmed and you having a weapon.

Don't believe me, try it out. And pop off like you do on CD while you take that walk. When I no longer see you on CD, I'll know that you're laid up somewhere trying to heal.

I hope so. I'm black after all so that's a compliment.
Tebow is finished as a player goes and has been for years. Did I say anything about his still playing? I probably follow football a lot closer than you do. I am talking about when he was playing. Can you even remember those days?

Not watch it? that is the sad part, many of us really enjoy football, we just want politics and anti Americans demonstrating somewhere else. Why should we give up what we enjoy just become some spoiled brat, idiot thinks he can show disrespect for our country? He is probably finished, knows it and just can't grow up.

you may keep your head in the sand, the rest of us do not. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see what is happening. I wish it could have turned out differently: I can think of many black leaders that could have led our country without the outcome we are seeing today.
Whatever your agenda, you may want to push it somewhere else, it doesn't appear to be working too well here.

I am not talking about how they got started. I have probably been around and watched them longer than you have been on earth, I am talking about the hatred they have for whites, compared to the hartred KKK had or have for blacks. Can't you see that?

I support the rights of all people to criticize their own nation, I don't want to live under a dictatorship where people who criticize the govt are rounded up and tortured. I understand some people, especially veterans, get upset by anthem protests but I thing the ultimate thing we should care about is the constitution and bill of rights.

Indeed it might, Nita.

No question we were in a much better place and moving forward with race relations 8 years ago....and Obama's election was testament to that. And America really wanted him to succeed. But within months, he jerked that train into reverse. What a tragic waste.

To you it is a compliment, but that attitude permeates your soul and follows you everywhere. I'm sure it caused you untold problems in your life, problems that you are too ignorant to even realize. You obviously hate whites as does obama. Not something to be proud of, but I bet you are... sick, sick, sick...
It also make you a true, 100% racist..
