I am less than 100 miles from the 49ers stadium. Every Sunday I clench my fist as a sign of progress when the Niners lose another game. So far they are 0-5. I hope they lose every game, and their fan base as well. Go 49ers, go for the loss! -c1steve | |||

Apparently many pro sports teams used to stay in Trump Hotels but are now boycotting them https://www.washingtonpost.com...m_term=.3440d16da59a | |||

Bossier Parish (and Bossier City) is where Barksdale AFB and the B52s are. Base and the few River Boat Casinos they have included - there are maybe 125,000 people in the whole Parish. Not exactly a big city/etc, nor a giant Sheriff's Dept, so the impact may be primarily symbolic, but it's a nice statement by the Sheriff just the same. It will be interesting to see how Ford Motor Company and others react to this shit storm as it gains momentum. | |||

I believe it is something like this.  Donald Trump is not a politician, he is a leader, politicians are a dime a dozen, leaders are priceless. | |||

So what happened last nite? Did anyone kneel? Officers lives matter! | |||

My dog crosses the line |
Our OC should be on his knees praying for his job this morning.  There was an organized 'knee-in' before the game outside the stadium planned by local clergy. I didn't see anything inside the stadium. | |||

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Meh...they can "knee-in" all they want. The irreparable damage has been done and now the NFL is going to have to lie in that bed chock full of cigarette ashes and dung. They made it... "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

One Eagles player took a knee and 2 others raised their fists during the anthem on Thursday. (according to media, I still haven't seen a minute of NFL football this year) An Eagles player takes a knee during the national anthem on Thursday night Philadelphia Eagles' Malcolm Jenkins, Rodney McLeod continue national anthem demonstration before Thursday Night Football “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 | |||

BamaJeepster, The first link is to a story dated August 24, 2017. The second link is last night.... and judging from the picture, I do think the intent was disrespectful of the National Anthem:  Philadelphia Eagles players Malcolm Jenkins (27) and Rodney McLeod (23) raise their fists as they stand with head coach Doug Pederson during the national anthem before an NFL football game against the Carolina Panthers in Charlotte, N.C., Thursday, Oct. 12, 2017. "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 "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Free men, semi famous even, living large, making millions a year to play a *game* and be on TV, raising a black-panther-fist... is "cute", in a stampy feet, bless their hearts, way. Screaming about Darfur to the old lady at the DMV counter somehow makes more sense. | |||

Roger Goodell's wife anonymously tweeted support for him. She got caught. http://www.foxnews.com/sports/...-defend-husband.html The account, @forargument, did not have a profile picture or followers and hadn't shown any activity since it was activated in 2014 But the account started tweeting to defend Goodell during the past few months, however. The Wall Street Journal investigated and learned the account was Jane Skinner Goodell’s. Wife's response: “It was a REALLY silly thing to do and done out of frustration—and love,” Goodell said. “As a former media member, I’m always bothered when the coverage doesn’t provide a complete and accurate picture of a story. I’m also a wife and a mom. I have always passionately defended the hard-working guy I love—and I always will. I just may not use Twitter to do so in the future!” Brian McCarthy, a spokesman for NFL, defended Goodell’s account. “Sounds like what she did is what every spouse in America would want to do,” McCarthy told The Wall Street Journal. | |||

sounds like NFL about to completely jump off the cliff https://ca.reuters.com/article.../idCAKBN1CI24Y-OCASP The NFL said on Friday it has no plans to mandate players stand for the U.S. national anthem Commissioner Roger Goodell, along with the head of the NFL Players Association, will meet with the owners from Oct. 17-18 in New York where the issue of player protests during the U.S. national anthem is expected to command much attention. Lockhart said the discussions will focus on how to use the broad platforms of the NFL, players and clubs to try and make progress on issues of equality, social justice and criminal justice reform. “(Goodell) has a plan that he is going to present to owners about how to use our platform to both raise awareness and make progress on issues of social justice and equality in this country,” NFL spokesman Joe Lockhart said on a conference call. ************** welcome to the new NFL | |||
