Jerry Jones and the entire Cowboys team take the knee

You should have said "majority of braindead talk radio listeners," Darth. Maybe that would have been correct, thought I don't know if there is a poll for that.
 
They aren't shitting on the flag, protest is a part of our heritage, Jefferson encouraged it. It is what makes our nation great. When you put the American flag before American people is when flag worship becomes dangerous. The flag is a symbol and I don't worship it.

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the US of A AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS

If your protest ous against local criminal justice how is this speaking to the object of your disaffection ? You might as well go protest at the elementary school.

Sorry you are too simple minded to understand.
 
The new poll by Rasmussen finds that 34 percent are less likely to watch the NFL because of the protests. Only 12 percent said the protests made them more likely to watch while 50 percent said the protests did not impact their viewing habits.

Do you think NFL owners should be concerned about 34% of their market lol?
 
I understand it was a misguided action that had the opposite effect as intended. Probably to be expected when a player known for poor decision making dreams it up.

I think all he wanted to do was start a conversation. Can't argue that he did that.

I said on another thread yesterday: regardless of how I feel about the topic of the protest or choice of method, I have to applaud Kaep. How many people are willing to give up their jobs and literally millions of dollars to take a stand for others?

I don't think you know that of which you speak. How is Kaepernick known for poor decision making? Seems like the whole NFL supports his right to protest, especially since Trump called him a son of a bitch. Trump is the one making poor decisions, as always.

No, I wonder how many of those people will actually quit watching football because of this? I bet most of those angry ticket burners will be watching in two weeks. I bet the NFL picks up new fans to replace them. It would be great if someone did a follow up. I bet the NFL has lost more people over the rules change than this.

that's fairly significant less viewers -22%
 
Here's the bottom line. NFL owners are probably some of the most racist rich White Americans on the planet. Most are charter members of that proverbial "good ole boys club".

They are tap dancing on this issue right now.

Ask yourself what they would do should this issue start affecting their bottom line, MONEY.
They would spin this around so fast your heads would spin.
 
That really made your day, didn't it lol.

So, should the NFL ignore 34% of their market?

The NFL is between a rock and a hard place right now, courtesy of Trump. I don't think they should ignore those people - but do you have the #'s about the # of fans who feel the opposite way, and support the stand the players are taking?

Trump made this an impossible choice for them, and a business crisis that they did not need. And it's a business that has a lot of people who rely on it for their livelihoods - it's not just rich owners.
 
It doesn't and this is BS that Trump is a racist.
Trump wasn't making any racist comments -he was commenting on the BEHAVIOR of kneeling .

Some types are never happy unless it's twisted into racism..forget that NOISE..

Glad to see they're up off their knees for the anthem

Trump is a clea
r and obvious racist, ignorant shitstain.

Your opinion is beyond meaningless.
