More protests will be the next step, but they don't have control.

Can't wait to see this play out.

Best thing is this is all unfolding just before Goodell gets resigned, hopefully he bungles it up for everyone and gets the boot so we all get the NFL back with a legit commissioner.

And more specifically, does anyone seem to notice that most players don't kneel anyways? And those who do, other than the unemployed Kaepernick, only started after the outrage and attention began.


Agreed, the only time anyone notices is because the media simply won't stfu and just broadcast the games. They want drama and sensationalism for ratings.

trump just ended national anthem/flag protests in the NFL. just watch.
Trump just provided what the kneelers want and have been feeding off of: attention and outage. He likely only reinforced it.

How do people not see that greater attention and outage has resulted in more of the behaviors causing in the attention and outrage in the first place? Does nobody have or spent any amount of time with children? Children misbehaving for attention, and therefore reinforced by the attention, is something that is very common from a young age.

If people didn't care about the story then the media wouldn't have the incentive to focus on it. So besides the players who are doing it, those that are, inadvertently, most likely contributing to this phenomenon are those who are outaged by it and drawn to it.

This is exactly what's going to happen. The NFL could have nipped this right in the bud but instead have created a nightmare that's only growing.

Every single player with ant social or political grievance is now emboldened.

People watch sports for entertainment, not to be preached at or scolded. The NFL allowed their league and brand to be hijacked by political extremists and were too cowardly to stop them.

This isn't a problem that will magically go away. These spoiled children know they can get away with it. It will only get worse.

frick the NFL

Oh, you mean my post responding to the poster who pointed out my error of using the NFL in the collective, colloquial sense rather than making the distinction that it was actually 30 ish individual clubs/ juridical entities who have declined to sign him?

Yeah, you can also eat a bag of those distinction without a difference dicks


At least you know you're full of shite. That's an important first step.

More player protests are likely the next step.

More fan protests will likely by the step after more protests.

The NFL, Teams and and advertisers will start to lose revenue.

Then what happens?

This is the only thing that will force the NFL to actually do anything.

Their strategy currently is to ignore the problem and hope it blows over. It ain't working.

Probably more accurate to say that most Americans respect the flag but all too few respect the First Amendment. Peaceful protest of perceived injustice should be supported by all as a foundation of our country.

Whom did the NFL fire? What are you talking about?

It's as if ESPN and the SJW's forget that Kaep opted out of his contract with the 49ers in March. He'd be employed right now but for that.

In my opinion, Trump knows that CNN, NBC. ABC, NYT, Wapo,.,,,,,etc... is going to bash him and try to harm him no matter what he does or says. With these tweets he is going to at least control the narrative that they all bash him about. If the msm starts talking bout something he doesn't like,...,,,boom,.... tweet something like this to change the narrative. Trump is in control.
