I agree, I just wish the announcers would ignore it.
Did you read the first one? 'Radical and sustaining'? Sounds like they want to milk our udders for eternity. It's never about one issue with leftists because their entire twisted agenda is intertwined.
A progressive restructuring of tax codes at the local, state, and federal levels to ensure a radical and sustainable redistribution of wealth.

I could care less about the National Anthem, but I think Trump made a great move here. He literally moved the goal posts.
Like others have said, black lives matter may have a grievance we can identify and agree on, but their belief structure and their solutions are not liberty friendly at all.
Trump is going to show the NFL that if they want to keep their fanbase, they need to move away from being social justice warriors.

NASCAR's Dale Earnhardt Jr. voices support for peaceful protests in America
Over the weekend, several NASCAR team owners made it clear that they didn't want any displays of protest during the national anthem. While many NFL players and other figures across the league found various ways to protest President Trump's comments about firing players who kneel or sit during the anthem, numerous figures across NASCAR supported the President's statement.
Team owners Richard Childress and Richard Petty were both quite outspoken regarding the possibility of protests, even going as far as to threaten termination for any employees who protested during the anthem.
"Anybody that don't stand up for the anthem oughta be out of the country. Period," Petty said, via the Associated Press. "What got 'em where they're at? The United States."
Petty went on to say that any protestors would be fired from Richard Petty Motorsports, and Childress echoed that statement to his team.
"It'll get you a ride on a Greyhound bus," Childress said.
But at least one key NASCAR figure isn't on board with Trump's comments or the threats from team owners. Shortly after Trump's tweet Monday, iconic driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. sent out a message supporting the rights of Americans to a peaceful protest. He drove home his message with a quote from President John F. Kennedy.
It's not the first time that Earnhardt has disagreed with policies and views of the President, but it will be interesting to see how his stance is received by the NASCAR community, much of which seems to be in agreement with Trump. No protests were made before Sunday's race in Loudon, New Hampshire.
Gee too bad. It was one of the few things I agreed with Bush on (and now I guess I don't). Not that I agree with the "God damned" part, just the "piece of paper" part. That's all the Constitution is. A piece of paper that some men signed their names to over 200 years ago that has NO (ZERO) authority over me or anyone else living today. I cannot be party to something that was written before I was born. There are some good words written on that paper for sure but that's all they are - good words. There is NOTHING that binds the goonerment to follow those words and certainly nothing there that says I have to worship some cloth hanging from a flag pole.
Everyone who gets all warm and fuzzy about that flag just keep those warm fuzzy feelings in your heart when you have to give up all that hard earned cash each pay check. Before 1948 NO WORKER ever paid a tax to the federal goonerment. Just think on that for a second and then go hoist your flag...

Trump won't show them but declining sales will!
Actually I've cut back watching NFL games not so much because of this but because of the increasing complexity of the rules and inconsistent enforcement. I think it was sunday night football last week where the refs called back a long gain because the receiver set a pick. The announcers said that it should've been legal because it was within a yard of the line of scrimmage. How can the refs possibly keep track of all those intricate rules and make split second decisions? And some of those nit picky penalties make a huge difference in the outcome of the game. I hate it when it's like 3rd and 20 and the defense is called for a 5 yard penalty and it's an automatic first down. It should be 3rd and 15, not a first down in that case. I think a very large percentage of games are decided by bad calls. Maybe like 30% or so. It probably evens out over a season but not for each game. I don't think it's fixed, but I think they've let it grow too complicated over time and the refs can't keep track of it.

FTR: this is why I stopped watching the last pro sports product that I even loosely followed: NASCAR racing.
"Restrictor plates" did it for me.
This is RACING, the object is to go as fast as you can.
Not to mention there has been nothing even remotely "stock" about a stock car in 30 plus years.

I totally agree and I'm a Gator fan. He had the longest, slowest throwing motion I can remember. Every off season people would say he was fixing his throwing motion and every year I'd watch him almost brush his knee with the ball. He threw more like a baseball pitcher than a football qb.
Winning is everything.

Joe Montana: Colin Kaepernick isn't in the NFL for the same reason Tim Tebow isn't
Joe Montana, one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history, on Tuesday discussed the saga of fellow ex-49er Kaepernick, one of the most famous quarterbacks in recent NFL history. Why, Montana was asked, isn’t Kaepernick signed with any team? And Montana gave the answer of sports media folks’ dreams.
“I’m not sure,” Montana said, per The Sporting News. “I think [if] there’s an injury somewhere he probably gets in … You look at Tim Tebow—a great guy and everybody was talking about him. But what it comes down to is 40 percent completion or even in the low 50s, you can’t win in the league with that. You won’t be in the league very long. It comes down to his play as much as anything.”
Tebow, for the record, had a completion percentage of 47.9 for 35 games. Kaepernick, on the other hand, had a completion percentage of 59.8 over 69 games; in fact, his lowest completion percentage in his career was 58.4. But if it’s not poor play, what else could be keeping Kaepernick out of the NFL?
“Everyone thinks it is the stance he took,” Montana said. “One of the things you don’t look for is distractions in the locker room. You can go back to Bill Walsh and as soon as there were guys that weren’t fitting in what he was looking for, it didn’t matter how good you were. You weren’t on the team for very long. You have to have people who want the same thing, fighting for the same thing and willing to put in the time.”
There’s no need to parse Montana’s comments. If you’re still reading this—and especially if you’re not reading this, having already headed to the comment section—your opinion on Kaepernick and the reasons behind his absence from the league are likely set in stone. Maybe he’s not suitable to play backup. Maybe his kneeling during the anthem in protest of police violence upset too many of the wrong people. Maybe he’s a locker room distraction. Maybe he’s just not a good player any longer. Whatever the reason, the result is the same: Kaepernick is out of a job.
Running QBs aren't as valuable. I haven't watched an NFL game since high school. I know almost nothing about football. But I have read most of the stuff out there on sports betting as stats that create wins for teams.
The reason teams pass much more now than in the past is because it is mathematically optimal to pass more. The only reason teams don't pass every down (other than when they need a small gain) is for game theory purposes. You need to run some to keep the defense on their toes for when you do pass. It is the same reason you have bluff sometimes in poker.
Running quarterbacks are like point guards who shoot a lot like Allen Iverson. They are fun to watch and very overrated. They don't win.
