I tend to be triggered by racism and segregation. Which was apparently on display before the game.

I’ll tell you why, because all these social justice tantrums are turning everyone off, even liberals. These guys are doing nothing short off pooping where they eat. Huge mistake for them.

It's not turning off liberals.

How about some improved t-shirts with the following "BLM only matters when blacks are killed by a white cop, we don't care about black on black crime" or "BLM sponsored by George Soros and the Rothschilds"?

You all do realize the NFL is doing this for the players. This is what the players want & the players are the ones people turn on the TV for, & whose jerseys people buy. Take away the star players & you have no NFL.

The majority of the players & a good percentage of the staff & coaches are people of color. The few white players are also on board.

Like they said last night, the players want to do something. I say good for them for at least caring & wanting unity & equality. This is a start, & they'll do more. I hope they do more to help promote equality. But even if they gave a billion dollars to inner city Chicago most of you on here would still criticize them because there's racial undertones to a lot of this hate. It doesn't take a college degree to see that.

It is totally ego driven by the players. They think they can tell their fans Eff you and they will still watch, adore and pay them. That's not the case. This has nothing to do with altruism but ego and cockiness.

You do realize that no player is going to go against the grain. That would literally get them blasted in the media. They would be called out for not being "woke". Cue Drew Brees. They are just going to go with the flow and receive their fat paychecks.

Notify me when the players all get together and offer a billion dollars to the city of Chicago.
