What "change" are these NFL players looking for?

I mean how will kneeling for the anthem do anything? It really doesn't make any sense at all. It just drives the people who could bring about "change" away from them and their rhetoric. The people they want to change are white, so wouldn't they try to appeal to them instead of drive them farther away? Say what you want, but the majority of NFL players are complete and utter dipshites who have had their way made since the start of High School. I've never considered it seriously before, but frick it. I'm done watching the NFL.

An actual melt. Haven't seen one in a while.

Not really a melt. More like a response to the constant melting of PRIVILEGED players in the NFL.

Trump is going to push the NFL off the cliff. Watch...Now you got the players showing their true colors. More are going to kneel as some type of defiant act. Tweet and speak their vitriol and middle America is going to walk.

Good question

I wonder what tribute must be paid in order to make them go away happy

It's a fricking paragraph that ends with you not watching football anymore because players are protesting something. You're a snowflake and this is 100% melt.

They want to be paid millions to only dance in the endzones, maybe?

This can't be said enough. BLM needs to be treated as a terrorist organization.

I understand the millionaires will donate an extremely small percentage of their overall net worth (and use it as a tax write off) to some charity or organization, but overall, all they're good for is screeching on social media or stirring up attention and drama. All talk, no action.

Why aren't these SJWs giving half their income to blacks? Why aren't they moving to black neighborhoods? Why aren't they physically doing anything to improve the third world countries that are American black communities? Show us how much you really care because bitching on social media and holding a sign in the streets tells me these people you're pretending to care about are nothing more than political leverage.

Part of being a fan is often having a positive view of the people you are cheering for.

It's not surprising that absent that, people are less inclined to watch

They want the criminal justice system changed to something like Iran's. Instead of going in front of a jury of 6 mullahs cops will have to go in front of 6 BLM members and be automatically convicted regardless of evidence.

Feelings, emotions and white skin will be the only evidence needed to convict.

I work with a Teachers Union activist [retired] and I asked what change they wanted. She said, have White cops stop shooting Blacks. Think about that. If a Black criminal has a gun in a robbery , police can not do anything, especially fire a weapon. That's what they want.

I blame the fans.

Stop watching and stop buying their merchandise.

The behavior will correct itself.

Nice to know that you befriend the mentally handicapped.

Next time, aks her a question: OK, let's say that white cops shooting black suspects ended tomorrow. How will that improve the lives of people living in predominantly black neighborhoods? You know. The same people who will be terrorized by the very same thugs that would have been shot dead by white cops who are now free to go about their thuggish ways with impunity?

Aks her another question: which would do more good for the black community? Ending all shootings of black suspects by white cops or ending all shootings of black people by other black people?
