Call me what you want, but the wording in your heading is down right racist. I am not joking or kidding. In fact it dates back to how Black Face were made to talk. See Charlie Chang movies.........In the 30s 40s 50s.....Have a nice day!
Hahaha. Is racist to quote somebody? Or... is it racist to speak another language? Because contrary to what many believe BEV is a distinct language language of its own full of grammar and syntax rules. It's more than a simple dialect of the English language. I've been trying to learn Mexican spanish... Am I racist? I also use Mexican dlang sometimes at work. Am I racist for doing so?

If they are willing to take a 50k fine to wiggling their ass one too many times in the end zone, I'm sure they can do the same for kneeling if it is so important to them.

It's only racist if he's white... right?
You do realize that people STILL talk like that today and this isn't the 30s 40s 50s...
Hell.. My Cajun culture has people who speak the same way and we're WHITE.
Maybe you're just from the northern states and don't know any better. For that you may be forgiven. I mean, it's not your fault where you were born, huh?
Look at the OP's ATS page. You can see that he is a trump supporter and based on his threads most definitely not black!!! Nor from the south!!! So My post stands!!
The NFL is the most lucrative pro sports league in the world, but its players are dead last among the four major American professional sports in average salary.
On average, NBA players make $5.15 million, MLB players make $3.2 million, NHL players make $2.4 million, and NFL PLAYERS MAKE $1.9 MILLION PER YEAR, according to Forbes.

When white supremacists rally, you """don't""" support their message but you'll defend their right to say it, and to be frank, there are "good" people on "both" sides. Then a black person kneels..., how dare they, anyway they're just a bunch of dumb jocks!?
Do you oppose taking down the confederate statues? Then you are honoring the memory of literal traitors, but you have no room to tollerate this innocuous protest.
In North Korea, an individual might be put to death over an insufficient display of patriotism. Do you want to start doing the same here?

I heard everyone opposite as players are scared not to a side in the Raiders not blocking for Thier QB who got back broken. I suppose this is speculation.

How many $50k fines for wiggling asses have been given out? I'll wait.
Antonio Brown draws a ridiculously large fine for his latest end-zone twerk

Way to mislead people. Can you make one honest post? He said he thinks they should stand. Presidents have given their opinion on issues like this for decades. That's not reprisal.
Dude, enough with the lies ok?

The aftermath of the NFL national anthem protest has not been good for the football league. Disgruntled fans, low ratings, and very public fights have lowered the public opinion of the NFL to record lows. Now the owners in the league are attempting to take control. Multiple reports from teams across the league indicate that team owners and management are cracking down on anthem protesters. The Miami Dolphins head coach has ordered his team to stand, according to IJR reporting.......

Yeah, so sorry. I just do not feel any sympathy for these overgrown / overpaid "man"children who behave like they likely are roided out of their own consciousness. In fact, I thoroughly dislike 99.9% of sports.
So, there. We now have my own fair disclosure!
To put it simply, I was fired a few years ago from an oil related (heavily so) industry for making a joking comment about Dick Cheney at a "casual" employee event.
GUESS what that means, kids.... I learned a very painful lesson.
Those who have the gold, make the rules. There is no wrong or right to it. Free speech is NOT available on an employers dime. As we are now seeing, even ESPN has employee standards for social media, that they were made fully aware of upon accepting the terms of employment.
This, kids, is life. Get used to it. Does it suck that you cannot do what you wish at all times? Yes. Do these "sportsmen" make a hyper inflated amount of money for being modern day gladiators, but without weapons and yet kevlar armor and helmets? Yes. Does that hyper inflated salary come with conditions? OF COURSE IT DOES...stupid idiots. This, IS LIFE. Life is not a kumbaya session while tripping on ecstasy. Life, actually sucks.
Yepp, you've got it. I have no empathy for these children. Non whatsoever. Just as much as I have zero empathy for Harvey Weinstein and his masturbatory requirements that involved inappropriate behavior. So sad, but I don't care. Nor will I shed a single tear.
But then, here we have the really funny part... I truly spit out my beer while laughing at this....
It seems, in this battle, Trump has indeed won.
Oh, darn fooey. You burnt the muffins. Grow up kids. Money is our religion.
And if you want a 7 figure salary...well, you need to suckle at the teat (or worse) of "The Man".
Your employer. Because your employer, has the gold. And your employer, makes the rules that you agreed to.
See ya!!!!
