Maybe some of us don't want our dollars going to support a terrorist Marxist group.

It's not stupid to choose to not support those who glorify a woman abuser and rapist. That's my personal choice. You're perfectly free to endorse women abusers and rapists if you wish, of course. Goes to show the quality of your character.

Don't waste time complaining to the NFL. Go complain at the advertisers. Tell them you will no longer buy THEIR PRODUCTS if they support the communist NFL.
Bite them in the wallet.

Yeah, it's untrue when people say "These guys today are soft!" They're tough as ever, they just can't do what the guys in the '50s, '60s and so on could do.


Football players were tough guys in the 1930s and they're tough today. Same with hockey players.


And there were always baseball pitchers who could throw hard.


The only reason starting pitchers are 'soft' is because they're not being conditioned to go nine.

Good one lol.
Except conservatives aren't trying to cancel any sports leagues.


That's the left's tactic.


Learn the difference.

I wish I could say that I am going to start boycotting them, but I haven’t watched a professional sports game in about 35 years.

The kneeling nonsense is like the monster in a horror movie that refuses to die and go away for good. It just keeps coming back over and over and over.....



Cowboys players ponder kneeling during national anthem


Quote:
Dak Prescott wants his teammates on the Dallas Cowboys to decide for themselves whether to protest during the national anthem.

Defensive lineman Tyrone Crawford says they have the “green light” to do so.

Owner Jerry Jones hasn't said in so many words, but it appears his hard-line stance requiring players to stand during the anthem has eased amid a national reckoning over racial justice.

When the Cowboys open the season next Sunday night at the new home of the Los Angeles Rams, it seems clear several players are likely to kneel during “The Star-Spangled Banner” for the first time — four years after Colin Kaepernick started the gesture to protest racial inequality and police brutality.

Huh?

The league's bank deposits are going to be but a small fraction of what they've been.

I totally agree with you.

Go tell these players, coaches, etc. we back the cops who protect the folks in the stands, in the parking lot, the emt who are there to watch over and tend to the injured, etc.

Then tell half of our season ticket holders they racist and not woke.

We vote with our feet.

I hope the stands, cannot wait to see them empty.

Are you ready for some Football?

No!



Orange Man Bad, Happy Voting!

All of this information is readily available. Please educate yourself.
Black Lies Murder, unfortunately, mostly Black Americans... now our professional sports leagues, which is fine with me.

I'm a gentleman. I refuse to go where I'm not welcome. So I'll take my vote and my chedda.

Now, the NFL has taken a dark nasty turn with the "Black National Anthem" before the game and social justice messages on the field. We'll see how fans react, I don't think it's going to be good.

Just look at how they killed Drew Brees, has there ever been such an evil pathetic public lynching of a genuinely good and charitable man? And all the NFL players coming out against jews and having no consequence?

The NFL is going to pay some sort of price
I totally agree with you, and great thread btw.

Let's take white people for a minute, so if we don't have the white guilt, we are racist and not welcome anyway, right? Well they lost a few customers. So fine, we can play that game too.

Good luck with that, NFL. Most folks could care less about MLB and NBA due to recent garbage, despite the fact they still manage to fling some cash around. It's got to be advertisement, merchandising, etc. But that will all dry up, just watch.

Anybody who doesn't pay attention to the business side of this is an idiot, and it seems there's plenty of idiots to spare in that industry.

Sensibilities remain violation free.

You're right about one thing, the networks don't got the Yarbles to show the players kneeling, doing their ignorant disrespect for the Flag, the United States of America stuff, the sticking their fists where the sun don't shine.

We know. We know what they're doing, even if the networks don't have the stones to show it.

Don't forget what it's all about... Orange Man Bad!

Hope it's worth it to y'all.
