"to the issue of social justice,"

I have a bettr idaa.

Let the players give us EXACTLY the " social on justice " they claim is happening, where it is happening, the high school graduation rate in those areas, the number of pregnant teenage girls in those ares, the number of drug arrests in those ares. etc.

It has been said that blacks make up 1/3 of the population and commit 1/2 of the crimes. Explain THAT.

Nice pivot. That's the same thing that happened with the Anthem debate. 1/3 of the population huh? You care to back that ludicrous claim up with facts? Careful though. You just made the case that one race is more predisposed to criminal behavior than all others... or, it just might be an issue of social injustice.

This is not an NFL issue. This is a black racism issue based upon a false narrative and a pattern of blaming everyone else for their broken A$$ culture. Despite the fact that blacks are NOT killed in disproportionate numbers, in spite of the fact that Michael Borwn was a killer and a thug, in spite of all the evidence that the reason they are in jail is because they belong there, and contrary to the notion that somehow "the man" won't let them be free they will exploit any opportunity to make people feel guilty not so they can get justice but so they can control the narrative with their DYSFUNCTIONAL thinking.

I agree with Rush. President Trump should let the market decide if what the NFL is doing is good or bad.

Trump, once again, should have kept his big yap shut.

The dude seems void of common sense about 65% of the time.

I agree with the statement. The man is putting his nose in where it doesn't belong.

So he voiced an opinion. So what. I'm glad he did, it seemed to force Goodell to do the right thing.
