    The parents let the kid go out of the house with a toy gun with the orange identifier removed, at what point do the parents become responsible?

    Obviously not, and Antifa is down a fascist because of it.

    Keep up the good fight and resist this racist president and all the emboldened racists that are emerging because of his soft stance on equality.

    Funny, this implies that America wasn't great before the orange buffoon took office. I disagree. Our nation seems to be quite resilient - remaining the greatest nation in the world despite our best efforts to drag it down by electing completely unqualified garbage like trump.

    OVERALL revenue is down about 30%.

    That would include attendance, endorsements, NFL related "gear" sales, etc...

    Most of your TV revenue CONTRACTS were made well before the un-American activities on the field became the norm.

    And the future TV contract(s) are either still in place or will have stipulations for the ones yet to be signed.

    How is Trump a racist again?

    We are keeping up the good fight. That's why anytime the lefts mouthpieces use the term identity politics and the Demos apply identity politics as part of their platform. We are calling them out as Racists.

    Which now since they have gone racist against whites. They are being called on it and the calls will get louder.

    Didn't watch the game and only found out this morning who won. I think football may have lost me for life like major leage baseball did when they went on strike for the World Series.

    Instead of watching yesterday's game I spent much of the day colorizing an old historic black and white photo from my home town and George Washington Bridge.

    Do I care that no players took a knee yesterday? No. They did it all year and something like that only has to be done once for me to know where the players and NFL stood.

    That is more then enough reason to gun down a 12 years old black child in a public park where even the person who called the matter into 911 stated that it likely to be a fake gun.

    No reason or need to check out the matter before opening fire as long as the child have a black skin.

    As dissent is being thwarted by Trumps stand for the national anthem where military men sacrificed for "death to the infidels" American style !

    I think you are somewhat confused? You say NFL revenue down, it isn't - I'm LMAO.....you didn't quote the part of my post which throws your post into the realm of crap - like I said, fake news. Did you miss the part of my post on the TV deal just agreed to last week, with FOX? If that is "falling revenue" give me some of it. Now, if you have a link showing NFL revenue is down 30%, which would mean revenue falling from $13.16 billion in 2016 to $9.2 billion in 2017, we'd all like to see it - please provide proof OR QUIT LYING! Oh lord, too funny.......

    Liberalism is a facade of conviction.

    People with convictions stand by them even when its not convenient, even when doing so means they might lose.

    Liberals only hold their pseudo-convictions when it suits them to do so, usually when they can scream them in someones face.

    But when pressed or plied they cave.

    They'll rant to the hills about "freedom of speech" ...until a Republican wants to talk.

    They'll spew mouthfoam-a-plenty about "equality for women and gays" ...until a Muslim walks in the room.

    They'll riot over a cop shooting a violent Black criminal ...but then when a cop shoots a perfectly civil White woman who simply walked up to the car they turn their backs. (Mohamed Noor, yea still no charges, no interview, no proper investigation)

    And, as it seems the case here, they'll spiritually partner with NFL thugs and belch their anti-American anti-Cop anti-Military and anti-White rhetoric ...right up until the moment where BLM gets a pay-day and the media signals the all clear to drop it and move on to the next scam.

    America has always been great, but it was declining. The traditional values that were the backbone of this country were being attacked from all directions by ultra leftists. We have alt-lefties mocking the idea of hard work and personal responsibility, scoffing at God, dancing closer and closer to socialism, disrespecting the flag, attacking whites and their history and their contributions to our great nation, vilifying the police, and acting like patriotism is now a "conservative value". Do those sound like traits befitting our great nation? (No.)

    By the way, your way of thinking works both ways -- I think the resilience of our great country was proven when we were able to survive 8 years of Obama (and I even voted for Obama in 2008.)

    The resurgence of patriotism since Trump's election is undeniable, even if you don't care for him as President.

    My girflriend and I had a bet going (she is a Republican and I am an Independent) so we were just dying to see what was going to happen.

    As a business owner, my BIGGEST drop was in 2008/2009 and I lost approximately 14.1% in totally revue due to the housing cash. We FREAKING OUT that year, that was a HUGE drop.

    If the NFL saw a 16% decline? Oh dear lord, you can bet your butt there are hundreds if not thousands of people who depend on the NFL for cash who are freaking out. 16% delin? ..... 16% DECLINE!!!!? Wow....

    Anyways I told her that there was no way the NFL would allowed any player to stand and she being a hard Republican said she expected to see a few. I was right (got a nice .... let's just say she was forced to make my kickoff more of a "release" than even the players had. ;)

    Was glad to see it, it mad me love eot ountry which I do in fact love

    Yes indeed treating non white men and women as equal to white males and welcoming new arrivals to our shores need to be stop at once.

    This nation need to be ruled only by white Christian males once more and everyone else need to know their place even white Christian females.

    Hell how dare a first generation black man be under the roof of the White House as anything other then a servant even if we could not show he was born off our shores.

    footnote real Christians with full rights does not cover Mormons or even Catholics for that matter

    The downfall of the Republic began when Kennedy a man control by Rome became president.

    Trump has done more to divide the country than anyone since Jefferson Davis. I'm no lefty. If anything I'm a libertarian. But I for one will never say the pledge again. And you can thank trump and his supporters for that!

    Trump has proven that this country is no longer worthy of my allegiance. My allegiance stays with the Constitution.

    I would bet that 60% of the country will tell you that trump has damaged their view of this country permanently.
