-please provide us all with some kind of documentation that supports your claim that the majority of NFL players are doing foundations just for show. The majority of NFL players aren't even criminals like that. Lots of claims in your post.
So, starting with Colin Kaepernick, give me proof of your claims.
Keep up with the name calling.
The proof is all around you. You are blind too it because the left is blind to anyone who disagrees with their fantasy of how they want the world to be. In the real world, there are consequences for your actions and responsibilities. Besides that the left's view of the world has been and continues to be rejected as seen last November when Trump was elected and numerous times since then in special elections. Most of the left is fine with Harvey Weinstein abusing woman but not ok with football players disrespecting the flag and country and will make excuses for those players when they commit violent crimes as well. See that is a problem for myself as well as millions of other people. Brushing people off as if they don't matter is exactly what caused the left to lose the Presidency, the house, and the Senate. Please, continue.
And, yes I said the majority. The majority of players that can afford to have a charity and foundation to so to help get them out of trouble if and when they get into trouble. The walk-on player making league minimum isn't afforded such a luxury.
Lots of people do, when the victims of police brutality are minorities.
what does that have to do with what I said or what I was responding to?
it has EVERYTHING to do with what we’re discussing...the fact is that the vast majority of Americans are opposed to police brutality. it would be like protesting against cancer. no one disagrees with your basic premise. the whole point of a protest is to bring about change. what change is being sought here? the goals of this protest have never been clearly defined. and don’t respond with, “that police stop killing innocent blacks”, because once again, nearly everyone already agrees with you on that
Allow me to enlighten you, dummy. It is a well-known fact that the majority of NFL players that can afford to do so have their own charities and foundations for the sole reason of being able to show what "good people" they are after they get caught driving drunk with a gun, beating their ******* and killing their dogs. Nothing say's i'm a good guy like a foundation that has my name on it but I don't know exactly what it does so please excuse my numerous felonies that includes raping a hoe snorting everything under the sun etc....
this is an ignorant post. there are MANY outstanding people in the NFL who do great things for their communities. this is why Democrats (far left) and Republicans (far right) **** me off almost equally

I'm sure there are MANY outstanding people in the NFL. I agree with you. You are so filled with rage and hate towards a differing viewpoint that you aren't capable of seeing both sides objectively.
I believe any walkout would be against their contracts and those that do, would NOT be PAID.
I don't think these spoiled athletes are willing to forgo their pay for this issue.
I have been thinking about this whole issue and have some thoughts.
I DON'T recall Kap doing any/many interviews about his concern with police and blacks.
He DID wear a pair of socks with "cops are pigs", or something like that.
If he was/is so concerned, WHY hasn't he been all over the news every week, every body KNOWS the media would cover it.
The "police" he is accusing are LOCAL police.
Making it a NATIONAL issue is NOT going address the issue.
With his money and the money the rest of the players make, WHY haven't THEY held protests in front of police dept HQs or the mayors office.
I am SURE they could get extra local support from the local people.
They could go to different city each week where they think these accusations are going on.
If they are going to protest local police, DO IT IN FRONT OF THEM where they believe the problem is.
Does anybody REALLY think these protests on the football field have done any good about the situation they think is going on?
Just my 2 cents,
Can I take those two cents and throw them right back at you. You later mention "if it bleeds, it leads." Unless you speak of the local community, charitable activities or protests, the news don't talk about anything unless it is negative. That said people like you will continue to complain that athletes are making political comments. Also, before Trump made his comment the last kneeling player I remember anything about was Marshawn Lynch during a pre-season game cause it happened in my backyard. Trump took a fired up story that only a few people still cared about and relaunched it. I don't know why people continue to not blame Trump for this.
I present the proof.
There are 1596 players in the NFL.
870 of them have been arrested since the year 2000.
More than half of the players in the NFL have been arrested and charged with criminal activity. Most if not all were convicted. So YES, it is the majority that are criminals. Many players are fine and outstanding, the majority are criminals.

CNN's Stallworth: NFL protests are also about 'gender pay gap'
Okay...maybe football players have taken one to many shots to the noggin.
From The Hill -
"CNN contributor and former NFL receiver Donté Stallworth said Saturday the NFL kneeling protests are also about the "gender pay gap" and "housing discrimination" in addition to police brutality toward minorities and racism."
