It's not just ESPN running it all day. You can't listen to sports talk without hearing it.
There is life outside of national radio. I don't find the local radio focus's too much time on it. maybe one segment and that's it. It's easy to avoid.

Local radio covers it too. You can't get away from it.

It's still fricking annoying, and if you watch any TV coverage you have to hear about it. But yea, it's probably my fault and not the media's coverage.

I watch a good bit of TV in the afternoons, and I manage to avoid it.I listen to local stations during the day, and it's mostly not covered longer than a segment, maybe two.

I've said it many times I'll say it again This movement will not die. There is no going back. It only will go one direction, more and more players joining the protest. Pretty soon you will be considered a racist for standing for the anthem. This will divide locker rooms. Pro athletes will get away with it first. It will hit a fever pitch once NBA starts next month. The thing to keep an eye on is collegiate and high school sports. If it becomes an occurrence there shite has truly hit the fan. I know my college coach wouldnt put up with that shite. Locker room unity is far more important at that level than the pros.
Stop treating black people poorly and as second class citizen.
And then they will shut up.
Take some personal responsibility

Racism, structurally and institutionally, is a problem white people made.
If u want blacks to stop botching about it, how about fixing the mess you made.

IMO the most dangerous people are those with a platform who are intelligent, but not VERY intelligent. Kaepernick and Richard Sherman both fit this description. Both earnestly believe themselves to be VERY intelligent and to have a VERY important/righteous message that THEY have been put in a position to deliver.
Sherman and Kaep have both been backed by the left in their various "incidents" and so they both feel empowered to use their political capital to push the envelope here. Will be very interesting to see what happens. They are seriously overplaying their hands if this plays out the way it looks to be playing out.
The obvious disconnect is that the NFL refused to let the Dallas Cowboys honor slain police officers with a simple decal and yet is letting Kaep's "pig cop" socks go unpunished, and is keeping this Pandora's box of anthem protests open.

Yeah - "he went to Stanford" or whevever.
The NFL should simply fine any player who doesn't stand respectfully for the anthem. They'd take some heat but it would solve a potentially huge problem. The NFL has the power and the right to do this. They are going to alienate a lot of people if they don't.

Doug Baldwin is from Gulf Breeze aka Mayberry.
He said he felt racism in the halls of his old school.
Kids are fricking stupid but this could not be a nicer fricking town. He's a hero here (or was one) in this 98% white community. It's mostly a transplant town of military, close to the beach. There's not any racism here, there just isn't.
I'm sure if you really want to find racism, you can find it anywhere.

So I guess you think it's impossible for black people to be racist, isn't it?
