“So what can we do?”

Tenure track professors, particularly those who have tenure, have the means to fight this nonsense but either fail or refuse to do so.

Are you even fucking serious? Do you really think they are fundraising so they can pay adjuncts more?

Adjuncts are, of course, far more likely to be female than tenured professors are.

I’m sure they wouldn’t have the conviction to walk away from it. It’s sad that people are willing to tap dance for a nickel while the NFL owner walk away with 30 dollars. 

I will continue not to watch the Broncos.

He just quit.

“ I’ve always believed in standing for the the flag” - Since 2009 when the DOD started paying us to do it.

I hope players start out right quitting the damn league.

What? Are we missing a comma?

Does Black players protesting the flag stop you from loving the flag and wanting to wrap it round your dick so you can actually give it love? No.

If we’re taking politics out of football, maybe we can take paid patriotism out of football, too.

I really see no reason to even have the National Anthem at a sporting event that only involves teams from within the same country. I can see it more when it is international but not this paid DOD jingoistic shit.

I read a piece recently that had 9 legal scholars weighing in on whether or not the NFL can legally fire its players for kneeling. The answer? Yes.

I’d say we’re about 2-3 weeks away from “Protesting during games is no longer tolerated, as it’s becoming a distraction to viewers and the players”.

The Not for Long league is taking steps to systematically dismantle the protest in the name of unity

It’s pretty simple, White people will do anything and everything to ignore the persistence of White Supremacy in this country and the ways in which they actively or passively contribute to it. In this case they are embracing this bullshit talking point about “disrepecting the troops” as their way to essentially stick…

I hope some of the players raise their fist in the air. They’ll still be standing. Besides, kneeling has already been appropriated.

John “Take Politics Out of Football” Elway wrote a letter on Broncos letterhead endorsing Neil Gorsuch for SCOTUS. That guy can get fucked.

It is sad, but Ican’t say I didn’t see it coming. Greed generally beats moralality and compassion, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the protests were banned by the end of the season.
