    That race-baiting that leftists ALWAYS do never gets old, does it? Barack Obama and his mentor Saul Alinsky would be proud.

    So a bunch of, I assume, (mostly) 'white', uneducated, Trumpbots refuse to watch NFL football because some (almost entirely) 'black' players are trying to exercise their right to freedom's of speech and expression in a completely legal way.
    And as soon as their con man messiah starts freaking about it...now his disciples are freaking as well.

    Fine with me. Just means more tickets for the rest of us. And NFL players/owners make too much anyway.

    It's not like the NFL will be in such dire straights they will start to cancel games or anything.


    Once again, I have no political affiliation of any kind.

    Aren't these same Trumpbots also exercising their freedom of speech and expression in a completely legal way by refusing to watch and participate in actions they disagree with?

    Come to think of it, weren't these same (you assume) mostly white and uneducated people perfectly fine watching these almost entirely black players BEFORE they started injecting their social and political commentary into the game? I'm kinda thinking that you're making too much out of race and not enough into these fans having had enough and not taking it anymore.

    Well done. We are supposed to respect the rights of mostly black football players to freedom of expression but somehow that doesn't translate to mostly white ex football fans.

    And every day that passes by where rows of innocent black people are not murdered by bloodthirsty racist cops the disrespect shown to our flag, and by extension our nation, becomes more and more blatant.

    Those are two perennially awful teams. It’s not surprising the stands look like that there as that’s pretty much what those two stadiums have looked like for the past decade.

    That being said, attendance is down, sales are down, ratings are down.... It’s been a rough couple years for them.

    I dunno, I went to one of their games about five years ago and while the place wasn't completely packed IIRC, it was also nowhere near as empty as that.

    Sumo wrestlers are fat for a reason. At tje higher levels you are either long as hell edge player like JJ Watt or you have size and weight like Raji.


    Bodybuilder V frame bodies get their **** wrecked in the interior line. Their center of gravity is too high.

    Well, you certainly have shown your intolerance toward other people’s rights to express their views. I thought only liberals were guilty of that.

    Yes, you're right. But being a Sumo wrestler is not the same thing as being a lineman on an NFL team.
    This isn't about "people's rights to express their views". This is about a bunch of BLM propagandists engaging in a fraudulent projection of 'guerrilla theater' to promote a political agenda against police forces in the United States. Many Americans, including me, call 'bullshit' on all of it. And if the NFL team owners, bureaucrats, and players want to engage in this spiteful, disrespectful nonsense, then it is their freedom to do that! The rest of us are free to dump them, their BLM propaganda, the 'guerrilla theater' and all the rest of that America-hating crap....

    They can continue to lose money as long as they want. It ain't no hair off my butt. Not that I would watch much NFL anyway these days even if this nonsense was not happening. College ball is a lot better

    You ever watch sumo. Two guys put their hand in the dirt fire off and try to drive the other out of the ring or to the ground. Is basically base blocking.

    The point is that they are fat not only for the weight but for the lower center of gravity. The same applies on the line.

    I like a variety of sports, NFL would not be the same without stoppages. It would be something more like Rugby Union (also good).

    Slowing the game down has the advantage of making it more about strategy than athletic prowess. I enjoy that too.

    Haven't ever been into hockey. There's no snow in any direction for 4000km here. I'll look into it.

    Us fans that have turned our backs aren't doing it because of Trump. That is a Leftists talking point I guess. You shouldn't fall for Leftist talking points. They are just lies.
