    Just saw a post that said Marcus Williams tackled Manti T’eo’s girlfriend.

    Hawkeyes made the Cowboys flop like fish on the mat.  Great match up.

    Agreeing with the bottom picture and believing that it is an expression of free speech are two different things.

    The bottom picture is of morons expressing free speech.  The top picture is the same except the morons are employed and doing it on company time.  The employer has allowed the protest to taint their company image.  Too bad.

    So are you trying to say the NFL players protesting for equality are worse than the neo-nazis demonstrating for inequality?

    No.  I'm saying they shouldn't be allowed to do it on company time.  It irritates people who watch football (the customer).  They watch to escape from everyday political BS and turns them off.  Bad move by the NFL.

    It only irritates those that want to be irritated. I watch very little NFL but it has nothing to do with the protests. Much ado about nothing.

    These are two very different groups - the nazi folks are simply evil.  The kneeling players are simply dim.

    They might consider protecting the goose that laid their golden egg.  Each week they're making the wallets thinner of the people that pay their salaries.  Public protests at your place of business would seem like a poor choice for anyone.

    I think football, and all other territorial domination games, are nothing more than a Neo Nazi Fascist metaphor for genocide via nuclear war.

    These games should stop, immediately, the football fields plowed under to grow food for the less fortunate, and the facilities be given to those in need.

    Unless, of course, my team is winning.

    Nailed it guvnah. That’s why I watch very little. Not because of some misplaced anger.

    Looking ahead and thinking about consequences or benefits resulting in the future from current actions isnt part of their mindset.  People today are  are programmed to be only surface thinkers.   Our society has created an instant gratification mindset and a dont worry about thinking things through condition.  Only deal with whats in front of you that fits the narrative...
