Colin Kaepernick and the absurdity of the NFL

[TitoFan]

I love the NFL. Everything except for the owners, the Commissioner, the Dallas Cowboys, Eli Manning, and incompetent refs.
Other than that, I love it.

Went to the Broncos-Jets game the other day and loved every minute of it.

And soon you will be independent!!! I just read how your country is going to take revenge on Trump!

Wrong thread, Brock. This is about Kaepernick and the NFL.

Colin Kaepernick needs to get hit in the head with a Halloween pumpkin and then rolled up in a Chinese curtain and thrown off the top of the Empire State Building

Hall of Famer Jim Brown says he’d never kneel during anthem

Jim Brown has spent much of his post-NFL career fighting for social justice and change.

However, the Hall of Fame running back would never kneel during the national anthem.

The 82-year-old Brown, who championed civil rights during his playing career and became an activist in retirement, said Tuesday night that he respects players’ rights to do what they want but his preference is they would stand during “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

“I’ll never kneel and I will always respect the flag,” said Brown, who spoke before an HBO premiere of “Hard Knocks,” which is chronicling the Cleveland Browns in training camp.

Brown was asked how he would resolve the anthem issue, which has plagued the league for two years.

“Well, if you take the bottom line, what are we talking about? We’re talking about freedom to express one’s self, and if you don’t break any rules then you have that particular right,” he said.

“I am not going to denigrate my flag and I’m going to stand for the national anthem. I’m fighting with all of my strength to make it a better country, but I don’t think that’s the issue. Because what is the top side? Are you not going to stand up? This is our country, man.

“We work hard to make it better and that’s my attitude, so I don’t relate to this issue because it’s newsworthy because where are your superstars? And where are they at? Aren’t they making comments?”

Protests during the anthem have enveloped the league since former San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick took a knee to protest social injustice.

The NFL modified its anthem protocol in May, prohibiting demonstrations for 2018, but allowing players to remain in the locker room during the anthem.

The players’ union filed a grievance, and the change has been tabled while the NFL and NFLPA work on a resolution.

Jim Brown is a badass and he's been down for the cause his whole life. He gets it though, he still loves America, he still loves his country. I honestly don't think some of these people like Kaepernick believe America is their country....and I think that's helped by the horseshit taught in not just college but schools. Teachers and professors teach how horrible and hateful and oppressive America has always been, they hate this country and they teach others to hate this country.


Colin Kaepernick's name censored from song on Madden NFL 19 soundtrack
https://www.theguardian.com/sport/20...rased-scrubbed
The erasure of Colin Kaepernick from the National Football League took an unusual turn on Thursday when it was revealed the quarterback’s name has been censored from a song on the soundtrack of EA Sports’ forthcoming Madden NFL 19 video game.

Absolutely asinine. You know the lyrics of the song, why put the song in the game to begin with if you're going to censor out his name? It does nothing but draw attention to Kaepernick who last time I checked isn't playing in the league anymore. Either play the song in full (minus expletives of course for the kiddos) or don't put the song in the game easy as that.

Might need a hotel ballroom to fit them all in, though.

The NFL and NBA have been fixing games for a long time now.

Can't stand these closet gay athletes/ celebrities.
