The NFL will think of something to blame their falling ratings on.
Just recently they blamed the hurricane coverage.
Maybe Hillary can share a few.
We can have impact. We can impact the ad revenue. We just have our own protest:
1. Don't go to games.
2. Don't watch it on TV
3. Cancel ESPN (make sure you tell the cable company why you are doing it)
4. Don't buy any product with the team logo
5. Don't buy any product they endorse.
6. Don't contribute to any charity they front.
A Black football player who exercises his right to free speech (no matter how offensive his actions may be) is labeled a "son of a b---h" that should be "dragged off the field", but yet Nazis marching through the streets of an American city are called "good people on both sides"?
What do Colin Kapernick, Jemele Hill, and Stephen Curry have in common? They are all Black people who spoke out against racism and got attacked by Trump for doing so. And still people insist that Trump is not a racist
I wouldn't conclude racism but I would say the reaction is extreme. It just goes to show that he has higher expectations of football players than the protesters, probably because football players are payed to be there.
I wonder what the "athletes should just stick to sports" crowd would have to say about J.J. Watt raising over 30$ million for Harvey relief efforts. That's certainly not just sticking to sports.
I'm sure their answer will be filled with hypocrisy, per the usual.
This whole NFL thing is obviously part of an effort to end the use of the national anthem at public events. Seems similar to the process used to stop public prayers which used to be common at gatherings.
Keep these athletes in the locker room so they don't even have to listen to the National anthem as by now sports fans are disgusted by the overpaid drama queens!
Lock them in the locker room and have a respectful National Anthem!
If any BLM or other signs or words are uttered that don't belong on the sports field then remove these players so we can go back to what most people love.
The Love of the game!
Athletes are NOT roll models but what now seems to be overpaid whiners!
Keep the solutions coming! Please take these athletes off the pedestal.
Peaceful protests are nothing new and are going to continue in one form or another. Are we still a free country?
Yes we are so they can keep kneeling and we can protest by not watching, not going to games, not buying the advertiser's product, not giving to the player's charity, not buying anything with the team logo, not buying anything the players endorse, booing them...
Most of the players and even the owners at the London NFL game today knelt or linked arms during the US national anthem in solidarity and support of free speech. We'll see it all over the US today as players and owners and coaches all stand up to the national embarrassment and international pariah in the White House.
