    Many have and will continue to turn their backs on the NFL because of the allowance of a small percentage of the players to disrespect the American flag and what it represents.

    A) your paranoia doesn't make your statements true, and B) don't commit a crime and you won't have to deal with the Justice System anyhow.

    So what? Will owners or players become poorer ? HARDLY...

    you didn't refute one word of my post :

    FoxHastings said: ↑
    ...and rich thanks to all who support them , paying any price to see them play. :)

    ...and nothing will stop football, it is a god to some and even Trump supporters will NOT give up their football.....NO one will give up football enough to have any impact :)

    OOOH, ratings are down...BFD......NO one will give up football....oh, a few diehard-grumbling-under-their-breath Trump supporters may but I bet even Trump doesn't give up watching foot ball :)

    It's hardly time to panic....there's been so many scandals in pro sports and they just keep rolling along.......


    Baseball is still here and players make lots of money :)

    Have you really not been paying any attention to all the instances during the past five years or so of Black thugs sneaking up on, or ambushing police officers, and ASSASSINATING them? The internet is FULL of these documented incidents -- go look them up. I'm not going to do your homework for you, but here, I'll "spot" you a couple of them:

    And who's rights am I denying? Is this a proud moment for you? Do you think you're the champion of free speech? Good for you defending the KKK. Sleep well.

    As Ceegar pointed out they have contracts for this season. However, the pharmaceutical companies already pulled out ($50 Million worth) and the NFL's week 3 ratings were the lowest since 2006, good luck on the next contract negotiations.

    The real median household income has just recovered to what it was in 2007. Thanks Obama.

    You might as well be talking in a foreign language when you say things like that. I've seen them lead cops on a high speed chase after robbing a store at gunpoint and then get chased down and the whole time he's cuffed and being carried back to the cruiser he's asking what he did wrong.

    When did I defend the kkk? I just asked why do you feel someone can arbitrarily determine who has rights and who doesn't based upon a subjective label? Is it a proud moment for you to make general decrees?

    Sorry, taking a knee is about racial injustice in America. That was clear and to take it and make it about disrespecting the people that fought for our country is simply taking a position in an argument but not based in fact.

    Rightwingers will twist it around to where football players hate the military. Anyway, you can be Lil Kim in North Korea doesn't let anyone take a knee. He and Donnie have much in common.

    I knew you would finally agree that Obama rectified the incredible damage done by the GOP Congress with Clinton/Bush. Thank you.

    Actually the little back-and-forth conversation started with a comment from Superbad about blacks. But I'm anti-criminal no matter what color they are. There are criminals of all genders and races in prison. Don't like the cops and don't like the justice system, don't break the law....whatever color you are.

    Ok so you are trying then condemn all 1696 players on NFL rosters for the actions of a few. Fifteen guys in two years? Wow out of that many players huh? Two guys for sure who aren't even on rosters at this point.
