If the NFL crumbles from within because a 49er QB took a knee, I’ll be the smilingest motherfucker on the planet.

Oh god I so hope this is the opening volley in the labor battle that destroys the NFL

So, black men exercise their 1st amendment and the leader of the government that is sworn to uphold the constitution says they should be fired, and then the #2 stooge wastes $240 in taxpayer money for a walkout stunt at an NFL game. .and now the coaches and such are pressuring the black men not to protest for fear of…

That’s horseshit. Didn’t happen. I know the report you’re talking about, and the reporter “corrected” himself on twitter by saying that he didn’t ask Kaepernick that question and was relying upon “previous reporting” (aka rumors) when he said that.

So, pressure from the President on the NFL to crack down on free speech is dangerously close to a First Amendment violation, right? This has been going on for a year, and once Trump starts in, the owners start scrambling.

It’s sad that there’s more handwringing over protesting during a song meant to represent the country as a whole (not just the military) than the fact that people of color are treated like shit in this country.

How I would love to see the entire Cowboys roster take a knee.

It literally started 8 years ago, not during WWII.

That is exactly what they hope.

And this “We will all kneel as a team (before the anthem) and then it will be done with” move is them trying to hurry the “blow over”

They think they can do a watered down version of it and prove how much they “get it”. Then everyone can just “move on”. But nope, as long as the core…

“We can take a joke.”

When you hate the Yankees but you hate Zack Hample more

My 14 and 15 year old sons were yelling that’s Hample ! So now I know they think he’s awesome. And I’m going to the bar to watch the rest of the game and rethink my parenting.

Cardinals fans don’t understand why people share the picture.

It was definitely a planned publicity stunt. Conservative estimates are that it cost taxpayers about $500,000 for this tantrum. That’s a lot of rolls of paper towels for hurricane victims.

OH it definitely was. Like, let’s be real we knew players would kneel, he knew players would kneel, everyone knew. I was already confident this was a stunt but THEN the press pool came out and said they were told to stay in the media van because Pence would be leaving soon:

thank you for bringing this to our attention. Mike Pence refuses to have dinner with an unmarried woman, or go to parties without his wife if they serve alcohol. I don’t hear anything about going to the barn without supervision. Why? Maybe its because its all a smoke screen. MAAAAAAYBEEEE he just wants us to think…

This was probably a planned publicity stunt. I just wonder how much it cost us to foot the security bill.

this boycott is just as effective as the one where they were buying starbucks and giving the name “trump”

yes, those tabloids totally created those pics of lines wrapped around restaurants and stuff. I’m sure none of them are Rick and Morty fans or whatever.
