Half Empty? NFL

That's not a spin. If you stand and March with the KKK/ Nazis, you are one of them.

People exercising their right to protest doesn't automatically align them with other protesters.

 

[Fred's Myth]

Many whites do. Unfortunately the one in the white house does not.

And your personal experience is what?
Not what you've read or heard about, but your own, personal interaction with the man.
If you have personally experienced bigotry or racism from him, please share it with us.

You want personal experiences? Ask your black family members. You must not be very close to them to write off these experiences as non existent and/or a non issue.

Just that why ask a player a question if they are simply to repeat what the owner says?

It’s like asking Russell Wilson what he thought of the two yard pass play called in the Super Bowl a few years ago. Even if he thinks it was the dumbest call in league history, he can’t say it.

Hind sight is 20/20. It was the right play. Just the only one who could stop it, did. They had the run stuffed. The run would have lost 4-5 yards.

None of them have had the personal one on one interactions you evidently have had with the POTUS to self-assuredly criticize and condemn him.

Because surely you are above the innuendo and stereotyping of another human being based on the color of his skin, or even based on what someone else said.

Aren't you?

So you haven't asked them? Smh.....

No problem, I didn't really expect the integrity of an honest answer from you, anyway.

 

[MAKAVELI]

No problem, I didn't really expect the integrity of an honest answer from you, anyway.

And I didn't really expect you to emphasize with your black family members experiences.

 

[Fred's Myth]

And I didn't really expect you to empathize with your black family members experiences.

Fixed it for you.

 

[MAKAVELI]

Fixed it for you.

Damn you got me good bro. I think I'll take a knee to that.

Of course he can say it, he just chooses not to. Same thing with kneeling during the anthem; just because Jerry says he won't tolerate it doesn't mean you can't do it, it just means that you know exactly what the consequences will be. I have no problem at all with players kneeling during the anthem as a form of protest but quite frankly if you're only willing to "protest" with the assurance that there won't be any consequences to you personally then I question just how committed you are to that protest. Honestly I would love to see a star player like Dak take Jerry up on that challenge just to see what he would do. He might cut the kicker for kneeling, but would he really cut Dak Prescott? Like I said I might not agree with Jerry's stance on this issue but at least he's willing to throw down a marker. If none the players are willing to test it then it's just not that important to them.

Thought you thought Kaepernick was a selfless individual looking out for his brothers...

Whe did I give you that impression?

 

[bbsam]

so if he agrees with being a patriot then hes a yes man . No wonder black America is still in shambles.

We have no idea what he believes.

 

[Catatonic]

We have no idea what he believes.

Not only do we have no idea what he believes … I don't even know who 'he' is!

It’s strange that what would not be tolerated by the US government is heralded as bold and decisive by a business and then you have people claiming that the government should be run like a business.

And then when a billionaire businessman starts running it like a business, 40% of America thinks it’s great. Something doesn’t fit.

That's all very well but it doesn't have anything to do with the point I'm making.

Maybe not.

 

[Wally]

awesome idea, not sure why you're not leading the black resistance with such creative thinking.

They can resist those multi-millions and really show everyone.

Dak and Zeke should kneel, get cut and head to the Jets, the owner of the Jets said he supports the players and won’t punish those that kneel. I don’t think Jerry really has the stones to stand by his conviction.

with his quarterback supporting him and agreeing with him we may never find out.
