I think you have touched on an important point, that I have not heard anyone express. This makes these big, overgrown children, who know that they lead superficial lives playing a game with a ball-- taking a knee makes them feel important. Basking in media adulation, they feel like they are doing something morally superior and important. ______________________________________________________ "You get much farther with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone." | |||

I saw that the game the But I do wonder where the NFL is going with this. A business doesn't survive long by calling its paying customers a bunch of a-holes. Only thing I can POSSIBLY think of is that the NFL for years have been looking at demographics and noticed their audience are older and whiter than the general population. So perhaps they're trying to connect with the younger SJW group. But I SERIOUSLY doubt that Pajama Boy can spring for a set of season tickets in addition to the $10 brews and $15 hot dogs. Only way they'll get tickets is if they whine loudly enough to get the local gub-mints to subsidize their tickets. I mean, taxpayers already subsidize the playgrounds for these spoiled millionaires and billionaires. _______________________ “The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals.

So Ben wants to trade in his Participation Trophy for Respect? Sorry son, it doesn't work that way.

I say that's bullshit. Race has nothing to do with it. Far too many black and white people believe they can point a gun or a knife at a Policeman and not have to obey a command to drop the weapon. ********* "Some people are alive today because it's against the law to kill them". | |||

Most of the advertisers have been there for a long time-- some, like Ford and Chevy, virtually from the beginning. They are now going to have to re-assess their support, as always happens when some athlete who represents a company is involved in a scandal. Who will come forward and aggressively support those players who disrespect our country? You know some will do so. And they are the ones we should focus on in the boycott. ______________________________________________________ "You get much farther with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone." | |||

WE GOT ONE!!!  Per Denver ABC: Large auto dealership says Von Miller's anthem protest misrepresents interests, pulls advertisements DENVER — Just a day after only 19 Broncos players stood for the national anthem to protest controversial messages by President Donald Trump, some of the team's leaders are already seeing consequences. Star outside linebacker Von Miller was one of the Broncos who took a knee, and Phil Long Ford dealership took issue with that. They said they dropped their one-time spokesperson on Monday morning, although in a late-day statement, the group said they feel Miller is a "good person." Miller had appeared in several advertisements on television endorsing the dealership, however the the large auto dealer requested their ads be pulled on Monday. According to Denver7 Broncos insider Troy Renck, the last commercial deal struck between the two groups was in March, but the move on Monday severed all ties. Some of the advertisements which had previously been posted to YouTube had already been removed from the dealership's page. Although the dealership confirmed the move, the company's spokespeople released a statement later in the day saying the following:
---------------------------- "Voldemorte himself created his worst enemy, just as tyrants everywhere do! Have you any idea how much tyrants fear the people they oppress? All of them realize that, one day, amongst their many victims, there is sure to be one who rises against them and strikes back!" Book 6 - Ch 23 | |||

I agree with your assessment. The advertisers did nothing wrong on Sunday. Now they need to decide if they will continue supporting the NFL with advertising dollars. “We’re in a situation where we have put together, and you guys did it for our administration…President Obama’s administration before this.

Watch Villanueva today: http://www.steelers.com/videos...b8-b137-e52d85c3e52d Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

crap. even our "hero" folds at least he tried to do something good http://www.post-gazette.com/sp...stories/201709250175 Alejandro Villanueva said he never intended to stand alone during the national anthem on Sunday and apologized to his teammates and coach Mike Tomlin for what he called “a very embarrassing” botching of the team’s pregame plan. “Every single time I see that picture of me standing by myself, I feel embarrassed,” Villanueva said. “We butchered our plan.” Villanueva, an Army Ranger who was deployed in Afghanistan, said he asked quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and the rest of the team’s leaders to amend their original idea, agreed upon after a Saturday night team meeting, which was to stand in the locker room during the anthem in an attempted show of unity. Part of the reason Villanueva pushed for change: he’d received texts from wounded veterans asking him to stand for the anthem. Villanueva’s suggestion, he said, was to stand with Roethlisberger and the team’s other captains at the front of the tunnel. That didn’t work out due to, as Roethlisberger said, pregame “chaos” in a small area, and Villanueva was left to stand alone with his teammates about 20 feet behind him. “The crazy thing about that is, when we came out of the tunnel, we told Al to come stand up front with the captains. Cam, myself and [Tyler Matakevich],” Roethlisberger said. “When we came out of the locker room into that tunnel, it was a very small area. There was a flag or something coming off the field so there were a bunch of Bears fans, coming off the field holding that [and] going in front of us, so it kind of held us up.” The end result was Villanueva, hand on his heart and mouthing the words to the song, standing apart from his teammates. It was widely perceived, with sound enough logic, that he’d gone rogue. Villanueva took sole responsibility for the mix-up and said that “very few players” knew that he’d planned to head to the tunnel because he went directly to the captains with his idea. “They’re getting negative feedback because they didn’t stand up for the national anthem when in reality, they would’ve done it. They were fighting to stand up for the national anthem.” He also made a point to say that he did not take offense to players who have chosen to take a knee during the anthem in protest of “injustices and racial divide,” including former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who knelt for the anthem in protest of police brutality and racial injustice last season. “I take no offense,” Villanueva said. “I don’t think veterans at the end of the day take any offense. They actually signed up and fought so that somebody could take a knee and protest peacefully whatever it is that their hearts desire.” Continually, Villanueva apologized to the rest of the team. “I made coach Tomlin look bad, and that is my fault and my fault only,” he said. “I made my teammates look bad, and that is my fault and my fault only. | |||

Wrong, Coach Tomlin made a choice as well as many other coaches, players, owners, and NFL leadership. The NFL is rotten to the core. As a Veteran I take offense to this disrespect on the National stage. “We’re in a situation where we have put together, and you guys did it for our administration…President Obama’s administration before this.

Wow. I feel sorry for him. Really, I do. He picked the right side, instinctively. And then, he folded to pressure. He's sorry for not being part of the team... even if the team was on the wrong side. He had 4 aces in his hand and decided to fold. "Some things are apparent.

I said this earlier, but Goodell is working on an extension. This whole thing is his fault for letting it get so out of hand and he needs to go. I think we need to take a page out of the liberal playbook and try to get him fired.

There is absolutely nothing 'we' can do about Goodell. He works exclusively for the owners - he is doing exactly what they have told him to do. He does not work for the NFL, the fans, or the players. He works for the owners. “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | |||
