The NFL’s been on the wrong side of this issue from the jump.

Looks like the NFL players are the least respectable.

NFLPA flexed its muscle......

Not that I would watch either way but best solution is keep them in the locker room.

All of them?

This has become more about "you won't tell me what to do" than about than about human rights.

I bet this is going to have the same effect the baseball strike had. It still hasn't recovered fully and probably never will.

Indeed it has.

same and put the media drones in there with them

 

[tumscalcium]

So this just happened. 😬.

No, I don’t agree at all.

Baseless speculation

Baseball recovered from the strike.

1990 = 26,318
1995 = 25,048
2000 = 29,980
2005 = 30,817

The NFL is going to be the same old crap that they threw at us last season.

The players now run the NFL.

 

[508mikey]

The NFL’s been on the wrong side of this issue from the jump.

meaning they are the only ones left doing it

This is Trump's way of trying to change the subject back to something that has played well to his base in the past. It's a smart political maneuver but might be a little too obvious to be effective.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Why does any article about this subject still refer to it as "protesting?"

I guess they are protesting Trump and being 'told' what to do

Politicians will do anything to take the attention off the $20 trillion debt.

National anthem, who is going pee in which bathroom, gay marriage, abortion....they love it when everyone gets riled up over that type stuff.

Neither side cares about these issues, they just want us all to stay in a perpetual argument over it.

Remind me again what protesting at a football game for 3 minutes is ever gonna accomplish?

Especially true for Trump (The Ultimate Culture Warrior). Culture wars consume the news cycle with both bases rallying to their corner. Trump has never shown an inclination to expand his base of support; he just wants to keep what he has passionately committed.
