And again, NFL players are very active when it comes to charities and foundations. Stop trying to play that card.
who supports police brutality?

Lots of people do, when the victims of police brutality are minorities.

Allow me to enlighten you.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....

I look forward to you supporting this post with evidence of all of these players who have these charities, yet are felons.

Start with Colin Kaepernick. Then sources to backup your post about Larry Fitzgerald, J.J. Watt, Thomas Davis, etc. Since you claim the majority are criminals, violent and felons, back it up or get reported.

I didn't say they were all felons. I said they use these foundations as potentially get out of jail free cards when they screw up.

Read the book Pro's & Cons. You will be horrified and enlightened.

Reported for what? Hurting your feelings tattletale. You lefties are babies.

The U.S. has obviously, to the aware, become a crony-capitalist country. Just about every aspect of public life has become adversely affected by it, including education and sports. It is sickening, to say the least.

And how ironic that an organization that is supposed to be a tough representation of American culture needs unions to stand up for their players to fight what is essentially a much larger crony-capitalist union. The crap is getting real deep.
Me thinks you should change your screen name.

"objective" certainly you are NOT!

"Then the union should encourage a walk out"

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,

-thanks for the insult. (on the bold)


-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.

"NFL players are very active when it comes to charities and foundations."

MANY of them do great work and give a LOT of their time.

As usual the media does NOT cover it much. 'If it bleeds, it LEADS" as they say.
