X100 and if you were on the fence maybe thinking one little peek here or there wouldn't make a difference this should be motivation.

Its time to turn it up, when you have someone on the ropes you don't back down, you go for the Tyson lights out blow.

This is the front line of the war for America gentlemen, this is it.

But, but ..... I thought that if we aren't talking about it then WE are part of the problem? If the announcers aren't talking about it, then they (hired by CBS) are part of the problem right?

I appreciate that stance, but my problem is with the NFL, not CBS.


It can be both.


Honestly, I don't care that the players have different opinions than me. That happens in a democracy. I care that they inject it into the game itself. Go to a protest, give your money to socialist groups, fine whatever. But keep that nonsense off the field.

And that goes double for those covering sports. You aren't a real journalist. You cover sports for a living. Stick to that. Swim outside your lane and you might find your self drowning.

I threw my taysom hill Jersey in the trash and I've been a lifelong saints fan. Just have to accept that professional football is going in a direction that it wont turn back from. Disgusting to see my team turn into one of the worst BLM pandering teams in the league. fricking done watching a league comprised of 70 percent blacks making millions of dollars a year complain about lack of opportunity and preponderance of white privilege. What other fricking country has a path for an uneducated shite for brains, black or white, philistine to make such an absurd amount of money? They should take a hard look at Liberia for some perspective. Get the frick out of my beautiful country!

Sorry for ranting. This is obviously the only venue for me to express such frustrations without getting stoned to death and fired from my job.

If people really want to hurt the Media companies, stop watching all together on cable and just use pirated streams online. This way you can still watch your game without giving revenue to the media companies for viewership count.

And Drew Brees has become a punchline.

They're still going to show the kneeling and talk about social justice, but just not state their opinions on it?

Lol okay. Still won't be watching.
AGREE,

What CBS announcers do or don't do doesnt change what NFL has decided is their policy.

Yeah. 99% of viewers.

You might have wanted to start doing that way back in the Kaepernick/Ried days, assholes.

Ahh, there it is.

Clown world. I feel better off without football this year. Seriously.

Needs to happen across the board in ALL sports. This guy sees the freight train coming at his numbers and is trying to stem the damage.

The NFL got no grace period from me. None. The 2020 season is dead to me.

They might see me in 2021.

Maybe.

Until then, the NFL and BLM can...
