Well, if you want to get purely technical, on a personal level, I don't GAF; on a pure logical level, I generally disagree simply because whatever message(s) the players wish to make will wind up completely ignored underneath all the "I'M SOOOOO TRIGGERED!!!!!!" outrage, which makes it a futile gesture in the long run.BRF;1873251 wrote:It's kinda entertaining to guess what stance each OC poster will take before reading them.

this negates his action and simply makes him look like an attention whoreNikischer, however, still has another gig to fall back on, according to his Facebook profile, which indicates he’s employed as a court officer for New York state courts. Lucian Chalfen, director of public information for the court system, confirmed Monday that Nikischer has been employed by the court system since 2007 and now works as a court officer in Buffalo, earning $75,389 annually.

It's stupid honestly. Lebron and other NBA players did it the right way with the shirts, but athletes should've learned after what happened with Tommie Smith that it's a bad idea to do this.
The NFL is going to take a huge hit for this, they're pissing off so many people

Without question. The pace of the decline will be accelerating also.

The only true audience for the NFL will be third time convicted felons serving time and Friday/Saturday jail drunks... Hope the owners have a advertising marketing plan for non income audience.

My favorite is when people record their rants in their car and post it to Facebook. Always a safe bet to see a couple of those viral videos when these type of topics come up.

Gotcha. To me, he was saying you either have freedom to protest or you have fake nationalism where everyone has to say how great their country is. You can't say we're better and then force everyone to cheer for you. If you're better people have to be able to say they are unhappy, even if they are morons.SportsAndLady;1873333 wrote:I fail to see the comparison between the US and nazi Germany.
