Just hide and watch as ratings and revenue plummet.

Money rules the day bruh, not kneeling idealogues.

Yea, it's a shame well off players couldn't apply their efforts towards actually improvement of their communities rather than making a political spectacle out of sports events.

Apparently you're as clueless as Trump about "tax breaks".

I guess we'll see how the players respond. Without the players there is no product either... Tough spot for NFL and the team execs


Right!? It's gonna be so hard to find people willing to be paid millions of dollars to play a game.

Tebow is not a kneeler. He is just a lousy NFL quarterback with a horrible throwing motion.

Well Tebow did better than expected in minor league baseball.

But the truth is, that they probably didn't get more NFL opportunities because teams decided they weren't good enough to justify the media hoopla that comes with them. It's not always fair, specifically in Tebow's position, but it's nature of the beast.

Remember when conservatives opposed the government getting involved in private businesses?


Well the government has not specifically done anything yet.

Trump and Pence have an opinion on what should happen, but can you point to actual physical involvement. Right now it is just some words and tweets

I think you meant the President and the Vice President of the US. Their opinions are attached to their office.

You do know several NFL teams are funded with tax breaks and tax dollars.

Even Cory Booker (D) wanted to close some pro sport tax loopholes to help pay for domestic violence programs.

Once again, you are allowed to not like Trump. Please just do not be stupid about it. The Internet is home to all the vast knowledge we have, please use it.

Of course they are, but can you show me where they physically put in a policy that meddled with the NFL.

We know where you are going with this, but it is too much of a stretch right now.

Obama was lighting up EOs that were having a direct impact into private business, that is different than words on twitter. If POTUS signs an EO directly attacking the NFL, then you can come back and say "hey guys, member this"

Shy of that, pull the Toddy dick out of your arse and be a man.

Tebow knelled to his God and savior out of respect.
Tebow stood for the national anthem out of respect.

He should never be in the same sentence with Kapernick.
They are polar opposites.

WTF are you talking about? You know I voted for him right? Our President is melting over the NFL and you told me to be a man? That's rich.

If players engage in actions that hurt the bottom line, owners will do exactly that before you can say "kneel," much less do it.

So apparently none of this dumb shite has hurt the bottom line as badly as punishing a player would, because it isn't happening.

In addition to kneeling, I think it's disrespectful to not sing the national anthem. Standing there in silence for a song celebrating our country should not be accepted/encouraged.

So, all these things done, in reaction to the players, harm the owners who are not kneeling. Nothing being done harms the players.
