Let me help you dickface:

quote:

A group of four players sent the NFL a memo in August requesting league support and asking for a month to be dedicated to social activism, not long after commissioner Roger Goodell reportedly had talked to several players regarding their game-day activism efforts.


quote:

According to Yahoo! Sports, defensive end Michael Bennett of the Seattle Seahawks, Philadelphia Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins and receiver Torrey Smith, and former Arizona Cardinals wideout Anquan Boldin co-authored the 2,740-word document intended to push the NFL into efforts "similarly to what the league already implements for breast cancer awareness, honoring military, etc


Good to see Bennett landed on his feet after such a traumatic experience a month or so ago

quote:

For us, support means: bear all or part of the weight of; hold up; give assistance to, especially financially; enable to function or act. We need support, collaboration and partnerships to achieve our goal of strengthening the community," the letter stated.


Shocking...

I don't see anything wrong with this. It seems to me they are advocating that the players/NFL employees get involved in the community and actually do something good as opposed to just kneeling during the anthem. Isn't that what you folks that get super rustled by the kneelers always say, that they're hypocrites because they draw attention to themselves while doing nothing to fix their own communities?

I don't really care about all the politics and activism stuff. I'm just here to watch football.

Can you imagine the short video clips of players that will air during commercial breaks, etc.?

The letter asking for this was signed by 4 people one of whom doesn't even play anymore. Why does everyone get so worked up about the opinion of 3 or 4 people who are just trying to get attention. The reactions in the thread sound like all the owners, players, and Goodell came out in support of this.

If it will make the NFL a watchable product, then I'm down.

I wonder how much of his own contract extension money, $44,000,000.00 R. G. will give?

The owners are down with this and everything else he does or they wouldn't have extended him at such a high level, to boot.
