Pro sports is 100% meritocracy. Unless NFL owners are in the business of losing, they are going to pay for the best athletes they can afford to pay. If they care about race, no one can tell, because it’s all about winning games and strengthening the franchise.
Are you suggesting whites should file a racial discrimination suit against the league lol? What do you deduce from the fact no white people do that?

What if you went into a place of business and the employee you dealt with wanted to tell you how great Trump was instead of providing you with a service?
Should the manager be able to fire him? Why am I certain you’d be ok with it if the manager did just that lol?

I could have sworn I saw players of many differing ethnicities kneeling in protest last season. Did someone's mama say only the Black players should stop?

You are correct.
It escaped you.
In one post you are saying the owners will do whatever it takes to win and be profitable.
Poli pointed out that most of the athletes are blacks...and that white envy might be a player.
You suggested that was horse shit.

Althea told me...........
Of course your point has a modicum of validity, but only in the narrow scope of your anecdote.
Should an employer be able to force you to recite the pledge, or stand for the anthem every day when you arrive to work?
How about salute a Nazi flag?
How about praise a deity that you don't believe in?
Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

One thing for sure...a word of advice, if I may.
For those people who will not be attending or watching any NFL games because of the protests or because of the league's reaction to the protests...
...be careful of the door as you leave.
Wouldn't want it to hit you in the ass.

It's really 2 completely different viewpoints on patriotism.
I think dissent IS patriotic. Dissent is what made the country what it is today - starting w/ "no taxation without representation," all the way through freeing the slaves, women's suffrage, worker's rights, antiwar movements, civil rights, and dozens of other instances where people spoke up & acted up to effect positive change.
Trump isn't about that. I consider Trump to be very anti-American - he doesn't support, encourage & celebrate our traditional rights & freedoms. He sees them as a threat.

Is that why you lied about what Tim Tebow supposedly told you?

Out of context without full reason as usual, LOL
Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
pain in abortion.
Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

You're overlooking the possibility that many people could be pretending to care about the kneelers because they hate Trump, aren't you?
