Had my first interaction with a cac (I don't think I ever used that term but it applies here lol) who didn't share my views about this issue at work...obviously I've seen the the comments and the news and ? so I know ppl that think like that exist but I ain't never heard it irl.

Same scripted ?
- get politics out of sports
- why didn't they do this in the offseason
- I don't like how they're protesting
- they're taking up my time
- crying about military as if military owns the ? flag

I was waiting for what about Chicago lol

Dude actually did make a good point about just taking the grandstanding if the anthem away like they used to and removing ads and with the current breast cancer month movement...so at least he's consistent about totally wanting no politics in sports. But still. All that ? was verbal white privilege. My white homie checked the ? outa him on every point made tho I just sat there and watched lol

I had the same thing with a person at my job and he brought up all the Kaepernick can’t play theory I shut that ? down by countering his points with facts. And the thing is he exposed himself and he was a cool before this.

Lmao I hate that ? they be coming like they kicking facts not realizing they using them same regurgitated ass talking points.

Dude at my job was looking for an argument cuz he just came outa nowhere like "hey did you guys see pence leaving the stadium" I was like "yea I saw that fake ass ? " and kept talking to my other coworker...lol. he aint take the hint nobody was tryna go there with him cuz he's conservative so we already where it was going.

At my job most of them don’t speak on it, it came up because he wanted me to come kick it. I told him I’m not watching until Kaep is signed. He said what everyone else is saying about Kaep. He repeated what they said about standing for the flag, “do it on your own time”, “you disrespecting the military”. Just talking in circles because I’m supposed to stand. But if it was vet kneeling, he has right to do as he pleases because he served. Smh

The NFL is about to get on their knees for Donald Trump.

Donald Trump said there should be a policy in place to force players to stand for anthem. Jerry Jones and other owners have already started the process of threatening the players.

Now, Roger Goodell who works for the owners has sent a letter to teams letting them know they are about to put a concrete policy in place.

Here is the key part of the letter.

Like many of our fans, we believe that everyone should stand for the National Anthem. It is an important moment in our game. We want to honor our flag and our country, and our fans expect that of us. We also care deeply about our players and respect their opinions and concerns about critical social issues. The controversy over the Anthem is a barrier to having honest conversations and making real progress on the underlying issues. We need to move past this controversy, and we want to do that together with our players.

NFL players are seen as property to the NFL owners and when property speaks out too much it has to be silenced. That is what is happening now and it will only make Trump’s racist supporters stronger.

To: Chief Executives/ Club Presidents
From: Commissioner Goodell
Date: October 10, 2017
Re: Fall Meeting/National Anthem

We live in a country that can feel very divided. Sports, and especially the NFL, brings people together and lets them set aside those divisions, at least for a few hours. The current dispute over the National Anthem is threatening to erode the unifying power of our game, and is now dividing us, and our players, from many fans across the country.

I’m very proud of our players and owners who have done the hard work over the past year to listen, understand and attempt to address the underlying issues within their communities. At our September committee meetings, we heard directly from several players about why these issues are so important to them and how we can support their work. And last week, we met with the leadership of the NFLPA and more players to advance the dialogue.

Like many of our fans, we believe that everyone should stand for the National Anthem. It is an important moment in our game. We want to honor our flag and our country, and our fans expect that of us.

The controversy over the Anthem is a barrier to having honest conversations and making real progress on the underlying issues. We need to move past this controversy, and we want to do that together with our players.

Building on many discussions with clubs and players, we have worked to develop a plan that we will review with you at next week’s League meeting. This would include such elements as an in-season platform to promote the work of our players on these core issues, and that will help to promote positive change in our country. We want to ensure that any work at the League level is consistent with the work that each club is doing in its own community, and that we dedicate a platform that can enable these initiatives to succeed. Additionally, we will continue the unprecedented dialogue with our players.

I expect and look forward to a full and open discussion of these issues when we meet next week in New York. Everyone involved in the game needs to come together on a path forward to continue to be a force for good within our communities, protect the game, and preserve our relationship with fans throughout the country. The NFL is at its best when we ourselves are unified. In that spirit, let’s resolve that next week we will meet this challenge in a unified and positive way.


The NFL better protest and not play the rest of the season, but we know some of these guys ain't about that life.

It seems clear to me that given Jones heavy-handed tactics, all the black Cowboy players have to take a knee during the anthem of the next game. If they are all told that they can't play, Dallas won't be able field a team. If the game doesn't go on, they should all still try to get paid, and they should go to court if they have to. After all, they were ready, willing and able to play.
