Then protest that in a way that does not make them look bad. Do a protest before the game, do one after the game, do one after the anthem. Remember the league has a rule against it but ......... this rule they will not enforce but others they will with penalties. Hypocrisy.

Yes injustice exists, but their stance is hurting their position not helping it.

Look at how the Conservative speakers are treated in CA. That is Social Injustice for sure.

Maybe they could start protesting the murders in Chicago that have nothing to do with the police.

and none of this has to do with football. There's a time and a place

how many of these protesting football players are putting their multi millions where their mouth is? How many of them are starting and investing in businesses in low income black neighborhoods and creating jobs and opportunity? Seems like a better use of time and energy for a bunch of multimillionaires then sitting during the national anthem or throwing a fist in the air when they score a touchdown. NFL protests are about rich narcissist athletes who want attention. Don't be fooled into thinking they care about you or any of us

that's exactly the point -who talks football protests when there are bigger concerns (only Trump does).....and my post was in response to ticket prices, not a concern for players.

Everyone who Kaepernick claims to stand up for was a career criminal or stone cold idiot which is part of the reason nobody except blind followers want to hear it. Call me when the black intellectuals start getting killed for no apparent reason. To my understanding, except for that unfortunate incident, Ray Rice is typically a law abiding, regular dude.....who happened to get hit first btw in case all forgot.

Oh

I agree .

It's a lot more fun to spend it on mansions and luxury cars I guess and less work .

Many also higher bad advisors . They invest in bad investments often too .

There is a really good documentary about this .
"30 for 30" Broke (TV Episode 2012) - IMDb

If the media just reported these incidents with pure facts we wouldn't have any problems. Unfortunately headlines of black man murdered by police gets a lot more attention then headlines of criminal killed by police while committing crimes.

748 people have been killed by police in the United States in 2017. 334 were white, 168 black, 113 hispanic, 24 other, 109 unknown. Where is the outrage for white people being killed by the police? We're being killed at exactly double the rate as black people this year. And stats are similar throughout the years. The total number of people killed by police this year equals 0.000002% of the US population. That's a lot of zeros...not exactly an epidemic. But facts don't make sexy headlines

Problem is most people don't do their research or read much . All these know is what they hear in MSM.
Then they go share it on social media.

Where are the protests against the gang members and drug dealers ? I never seen one .

Chargers two in a row.
