When I played people were responsible for their own safety and they weren't victims. I don't know if I can ever appreciate football the same way really, the NFL used to be all about the big hits, and nobody not 1 single fucking person ever said "Oh Concussions are great for you! Being smacked in the head really clears out the cobwebs " but whatever the NFL and most importantly ESPN have chosen their path and they have decided they are more interested in bullshit than sports.



Is Colin Kaepernick a GOOD QB? Then why bitch about him not playing? Oh, OOOOOH he's black and he wants to stick it to the USA for being horribly racist because HE suffered sooooo much....the percentage of black players in the NFL? African-American men are 6% of the United States population, they take up 70% of NFL rosters.....yeah, oh so fucking racist.


Really Lyle? You're going to use the percentages defense to show how the NFL is so given to the normal black community? I'm gonna assume that one just got by you, because I don't want to believe you really believe that crock of horseshit you just spouted. So then are we to say that white players are discriminated against in the NFL because 70% of the players are black? C'mon. Think about the ridiculousness of that statement.

You can dislike Colin all you like. He feels a certain way, and he's chosen to express it. Unfortunately, you've got millions of Brocks out there who just say "fuck Colin, he's a piece of human garbage", without knowing the first thing about the man.

The fact is, he's good enough to be starting for a number of teams right now, and he's being blackballed by the cowardly and/or racist owners (or both). That may be good by you, but it doesn't cut it with me.
