Thread: The problem with the NFL protestors

  1. #1

    The problem with the NFL protestors

    The NFL players that are protesting over unfair treatment of blacks are annoying to me for a couple reasons:

    1. Many of their "solutions" like more wealth distribution and tighter enforcement of discrimination laws are only going to make the problem much worse.

    2. It ruins watching the games when I have to hear the announcers talk about it. I want to watch football not a political show.

    I find many things annoying about this whole thing, but one that stands out to me:

    If I were to attempt something similar, I would get fired.

    All across the corporate world, step out of line in the slightest way and you will be pounding the pavement before you know what happened to you.

    If a condition of my employment was such that I had to publicly get up and state my fealty to a symbol of State worship, I'm pretty sure I'd find another job.

    I don't really care one way or the other about this "controversy". Stand up, kneel down, bend over, or do the worm. Not hurting me in any way.

    Eff these guys.

    If I want to watch a nice humble game of football, I watch my local college Division II game for free on the internetz.

    Or if I want to see one in person, I can drop about $5 at the college or the high skrool.

    On side note, I find it amusing that both the Rams and Chargers left towns with an ample supportive fanbase and cities that had bent over backwards to support them in order to move to Los Angeles. And now either the USC or UCLA homegames sell more tickets than Rams and Chargers combined.

    Travis Kelcey, the most bad a** TE there is in the NFL also knelt for the anthem and he hasn't been fired and he could kneel from now till next year and nothing will ever happen to him.

































    Oh, forget to mention the fact that he is white as hell. They are not getting fired because they have contractual agreement between them and their employers that gives them some employment security and I say some protection because Kapernick was eventually fired when his contract wasn't picked up the next season. Also most of you guys are absolutely replaceable at your jobs and these guys are one of a kind. There is no other Travis Kelcey on the unemployment line to replace him with.

    Huge fan base for Division I football, for sure.

    I find Division I football to be almost as nauseating as the NFL.

    Well. Doesn't look like people are going to the games these days. I call it a win for society. Maybe people will pay start to pay attention to the name of their secretary of state and what he's doing instead of their running back.

    Here in Nashville that idea is absurd. Nashville had the first black university. Nashville has a university founded on the idea of strengthening common principles (with a black head football coach). Nashville has a strong black tradition and was very active in civil rights from the start.

    The Titans stayed in the locker room today. I put the few Titans items I own in a bag and they are now at Goodwill. I have also fired off a letter to the CEO of the Titans saying I am done with football. Tomorrow I plan to write the FOP and suggest they come down with blue flu next home game and I will also write my councilwoman and state legislator demanding that they end funding for the stadium and infruastructure supporting it.

    So says the fat little grandma.

    I don't like the "standing for the national anthem" thing either. If the players were protesting an overly intrusive government I wouldn't mind as much, but the they want MORE government not LESS. Although ideally I wish they'd keep politics out of it altogether.

    Check out the BLM economic demands. It's communism with a racial twist.

    ...i get a hoot out of the republicrat dummies whining about 'bringing politics into the equation'...THE NATIONAL ANTHEM IS THE EPITOME OF 'BRINGING POLITICS INTO THE EQUATION'....

    ...lol at many conservative republicans, especially...the 'conservative justice warriors' are showing their true authoritarian mindset: playing the idiot authoritarian in one breath while bloviating about 'liberty and freedom' in the next breath...[in my best shultz impersonation: 'you MUST shtand und act the vay vee vant!']......

    ...i love it!...hopefully the republican idiot, trump, will continue to shoot his fool mouth off and it will get so bad, so out of hand, 'the national anthem' foolery is scrapped and we can shave a couple of minutes from these already-too-long games...

    I know, why do they go from zero teams to two in LA! Didn't they try that before with the Rams and Raiders? Why not try one team first before going to two?

    Did you all know there is actually an NFL rule that requires the National Anthem be played before every game? And that both teams must be on the field to participate? And they must stand, facing the flag, hold helmets in the left hand? And that fines, suspensions, loss of draft picks are on the line for infractions?

    That should be interesting.

    I would love to see the police call out for next week's games.
