Goodell is a polesmoker
Dak thinks that when the players kneel and cry it is a distraction and hurts the NFL product. Dak is right..
Beat me to it...Also
Hooray another Anthem thread!
The irony is it's lemmings like Arlington who would be the first to complain about this story and yell stick to sports.Beat me to it...
Nothing says Football like a thread about anthem protests
FWIW I don't mind if athletes come out and speak against the anthem protests. Despite what the blowhards at ESPN think, it's okay for athletes to have an opposition opinion if they are respectful and back up their assertion.Keep politics out of sports!
Except when it's politics we like.
Arlington is going full retard. Never go full retard, Arlington.Dak thinks that when the players kneel and cry it is a distraction and hurts the NFL product. Dak is right..
Going? He's been there for years.Arlington is going full retard. Never go full retard, Arlington.
Exactly. I saw something on Twitter where there was a topic on ESPN where they complained about white athletes not being as vocal in their support and how that is bad. And of course if they came out and said they didn't like protests for whatever reason you know they'd get trashed no matter how they would say it. Can't have it both ways.Funny thing is, people want athletes to take a stance, Dak did and now those people complain about his stance.
I guess what they want is for athletes to take a stance if they agree with them.
Lelz. Clearly the protest is effective if it is disruptive. Dak just is scurred of Jerrah when he has leverage being the QB.
No it's not. Not even a little. Unless you meant effective at making things significantly worse.Lelz. Clearly the protest is effective if it is disruptive. Dak just is scurred of Jerrah when he has leverage being the QB.

Seems to get covered every other night on Fox News- so I got to disagree there.It's effective in creating dialog in the media and on chat forums...not on the streets.

I agree and I think that's an indictment of this movement as a whole. Reminds me of the Mizzou protests where they got everyone's attention but when it was time to go to the negotiating table the people leading the protest decided to just keep shouting. Everyone wants to yell, scream and complain but not do the legwork to make a real difference once it's time to make a difference. There is a problem of just doing this to get your name out there where jumping on the bandwagon and having your 15 seconds of fame to appear virtuous is more important than what the cause is even about.What's really jacked up here is the players really could have a larger impact on the social injustices they're protesting about, but it would require a lot more than kneeling at a football game.
They can piggy back off the Tiger Woods Foundation concept...I don't think they would have any problem getting the NFL on board as a partner.
While I understand not every person effected by police brutality is a gang banger, street hood, etc. but if we're keeping it real, many are.
