I was disturbed at how many people were sooo against any such protesting! So many of the comments Ive read about this tell me, a great many people in this country would be much happier living in a total dictatorship!
I really think if these people had been around during the American revolution, they would have sided with England and viewed all the US patriots as terrorists, out to cause problems and disrespecting their country!
These are the kind of people who would wait for their Govt to tell them when its time for revolution! LOL
What we are against is the giant f-you it says to the fans. Protests are fine, but choose a different venue and certainly not during the National Anthem. These guys have a huge platform to do what they want, give money to causes, mentor kids, shed light on issues of police brutality. Instead they insulted the very people they were trying to reach, while the team owners are the ones paying the price. If team owners can refuse players wearing items on their uniforms to honor fallen police or victims of 9/11, then they can refuse to allow people to protest at their work.

We don't care if a young black girl wants to attend a public school. Just not ours.
Louisiana.
They aren't trying to reach football fans. They are trying to reforming our justice system. It really doesn't matter if football fans want it reformed or not.

Yes, actually it does if you want to continue to run a business where those FANS pay your salary. .
Don't take me as someone that is concerned over that. Go bankrupt. Whatever.
Ummm..you are missing the point. Whether YOU are concerned is irrelevant. It is still a business and without fans nobody pays the salaries. That is WHY you don't make political stances in the workplace...

Some things are bigger than you. MLK would not have been shot if he would have kept his mouth shut.

Without support, they aren't reforming sh*t. There are venues to protest, and ways to do it with their huge platform that doesn't involve insulting people. What needs to be reformed? You think all those people who were acquitted should be re-tried? What are they accomplishing? What specifically do you want reformed?

The same idiots that are complaining about the protests are addicted to football, and will keep watching regardless of the protests. The money isnt going anywhere, and the owners know that. Its a minute amount of people that will stop watching, and those didnt really watch that much in the first place.
Without support, they aren't reforming sh*t. There are venues to protest, and ways to do it where I cant see it, and dont have to think about it.
There fixed it for you.

You really dont know the details of why they are protesting? Have you been sheltered? Would you really like to know?
