Why does any multi billion dollar organization do anything? Because the military pays the NFL to play it. It’s literally a paid advertisement.

Careful with what you post on a message board. I was told that it leaves a trail that can come back to haunt.

Yep. Every member of the city council is a Democrat.

I think you could tell how sincere he was by the tone of his dial.

Your words

Remember son. When you express your racist, elitist views, make sure you cover your tracks.

So your takeaway from this is that we need to teach our kids to be more careful to avoid leaving a paper trail when expressing their bigoted opinions? You’re part of the problem.

Make no mistake. HE ruined his career.

How much does anyone want to bet there are more texts like this out there? Hard to believe anyone makes exactly one comment like this.

You don’t see the difference between being told you should shut up and calling to force someone to shut up? There’s a big difference.

Literally not one person has said Drew shouldn’t have the right to say what he said. Millions have said that the players shouldn’t have the right to protest, though.

The US Mint doesn’t employ the people who are killing unarmed citizens, so kneeling during the coin flip doesn’t make a lot of sense.

I can quit my job the second they tell me to do something I don’t want to do. My job doesn’t have the ability to imprison me.

So then I guess they ARE signing up to do what they’re told. You’re really talking in circles.

No. They go in for a bunch of reasons. The second they sign on the dotted line, it makes no difference why they signed up. They’re doing what they’re told. Period

They can sign up for whatever reason they want. I can sign up for the military because I want to fly an F-16. That doesn’t mean I get to. It also doesn’t mean I can opt out of getting sent to die in some hellhole if I disagree with the cause.

Pretty sure you don’t sign up to only fight for causes you believe in. You sign up to do what you’re told.

While I agree with your sentiment, nobody in the military fights and dies for our freedoms. They fight and die because they’re told to. The military doesn’t let you pick and choose where, when, and how you fight. Whether those causes are good, bad, or indifferent have no bearing on whether or not you fight because you have no input in that decision. Once that 18 year old kid signs on the dotted line, he can only hope he risking his (or her) life for a “good cause”.

Not when it hasn’t been included in the collective bargaining contract it’s not. And it may come as some surprise to you to learn that those buildings don’t belong to the teams in most cases. They are paid for with our tax dollars.

So he can say that he disagrees with what they’re doing, but they can’t disagree with what he said? That doesn’t seem like a double standard or anything. If you like the anthem so much, feel free to listen to it on your iPod and stand at attention all you want. The US military pays for the anthem to be played before games. If players want to kneel during what is literally a paid advertisement, that is their right. If people want to piss and moan about it, that’s their right. If people want to put those people on blast, that’s their right. See how this works?

The flag belongs to everyone, not just you.

I wouldn’t think Bills fans would be so quick to hope QBs start making racially divisive tweets.

Whatever happened to that guy, anyway? Did he retire?

4 people were arrested for the Charlottesville (white supremacist) riots. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/white-supremacists-arrested-on-charlottesville-riot-charges 10,000 protesters have been arrested in the last week.

Nobody is advocating rioting here. We’re talking about a peaceful, silent protest. That’s still too much to ask, though. The only form of protest white America accepts from blacks is shutting their f——ing mouths.
