Is that blunt enough?
Would you still respect them if they kneeled for the anthem?

Now the snowflake's that call themselves NFL players are crying that the owner of the Texans used the age-old saying we can't let the inmates run the prison. and want him ousted like Donald Sterling and staged their own butthurt walkout today from practice. If they had any real balls they would do it doing a game. But they won't because they know they would be fired, and they would cause a riot and the fans would tear them apart and ain't no cop is gonna help save them

McNair did nothing wrong, he said nothing wrong and he is correct in what he said. The league is imploding before our eyes.
McNair is wrong in that he opened his mouth and didn't expect this to be the response. Only a dolt does that with no expectation of ramifications. This is why exactly the players didn't walk out of the game but rather practice. They did it because they would get suspended if not fired. An owner can't. The owner is as big of a snowflake as you call the players. Snowflakes are on all sides of this issue and often the biggest ones (Trump and McNair) caused the issues.

I didn't know they played the anthem for the peasants of America before we go in and make this country function.

They are making things worse, so I hope they're happy.


Honestly I do think race relations are getting worse, and this isn't helping. Congratulations.

They are slowly getting change. The officer was fired in the Wubbels case. The protests in Baltimore have lead to investigations and charges brought against officers. The exposed corruption has led to hundreds of cases getting tossed.

You are not important.

The idea is not to "help race relations". We know that is a one way street at that.

I'm glad you feel that way. Same here. I actually hope this all leads to Anglos standing up to say "enough". In due time.

They've supported the argument when the violence is enacted on white women. It's a start I suppose.

Their "protesting" of the anthem/flag whatever isn't even what annoys me, it's the fact that these clowns aren't protesting...ANYTHING.


IF they are "protesting" police brutality, then it just shows me that they are all completely lacking in their mental capacities and/or they aren't smart enough to see the REAL problems in this country and their community.


The problems in this country - the problems in THEIR communities - are of THEIR OWN DOING. Period. So, yeah, they are complete morons.

Fake news indeed.

It is a real problem. Just because it hasn't happened to you does not mean it isn't a problem.
