Sigh. Good thing I have two alma maters.

Reminds me of the movie "Club Paradise" when Jimmy Cliff's band interviews at the rich white man resort, and rich white guy tells him that "someone who just paid too much for a bad veal oscar doesn't want to know that the band is angry".

Capitalism is based on the ridiculous notion that you can enjoy limitless growth in a closed, finite system.

In biology, such behavior of cells is called "cancer".

WTF?
Respectfully and quietly taking a knee at football game is the same with somebody haranguing us at a theater, making excuses for a traitor president or pushing their personal religion? If anybody did that to me at a movie, I'd stand up and shout shut the fuck up, like most of the audience would.

Too much time reading the Russian mafias media has you detuned to hyperbolic extremes, so you can only think that way. You suck at attempting these analogies, should avoid them.

Maybe because we feel differently about how we respect the traditions of our society. I dont go to Wendys to hear anti anything , just a #2with a frosty. How come sports cannot provide the same service. They have huge platforms with their fanbase on social media, use that play ball or I dont watch. Its that simple

Yep. It pisses me off, as it does with most Americans. I can guarantee that no one goes to NFL games to watch that bull crap. My analogy is perfect. You'd sing a different tune if the players "respectfully and quietly" wiped their asses with, say, a Bernie poster.

So do I. Alas, the Gators are doing better.

Horse manure. Better you don't watch. Maybe there's some bowling on.

Thanks for so perfectly illustrating my point about how fucking stupid your rhetoric is with that one.

I guess that depends on your definition of violent. For a long time BLM had no organization or leadership and they very same people in support of the movement were the same people vandalizing, burning, and looting during protests.

I guess it is easy to say they aren't violent when it wasn't your business and life's work burned to the ground.

Regarding the NFL protests specifically, people seem to conveniently forget that these are paid employees in the entertainment industry at work. If the NFL wants to stop the protests because it is hurting their bottom line, then that is literally their business.

Some people conveniently forget that the NFL is selling the talent of the players for your entertainment.

If you just want football go watch the Scorps play on Friday. If you want professionals, you'll have to respect their rights.

Nah, you are only saying that because it currently supports your agenda. Entertainers employed by a company have to play by the company's rules. NFL players are contract employees working for a company (team). They are not self employed entertainers working for themselves.

We have seen numerous on air personalities lose their jobs at the companies they work for because of their biased opinions, choice of wording, or behavior that hurts their company's bottom line. NFL players are no different.

I am all for them protesting, on their own time. I watch the NFL for entertainment, not for politics.

So the PROG message is anti racist, then the opposite side you are inferring to as the "pro trump speech" must be pro racist!

No shame!

I troll 2L.com to be a better person in real life

Here's a novel approach.....

We don't watch them at all!

Period.

Not one thin dime to the NFL in any way shape or form.

They will understand when their bottom line doesn't exist.

FOOL!

The REAL truth is....both of the forum idiots are OWNED.
-BOTH of them have no clue who their owner is.
-They are both card carrying narcissists.
^These are PROVED facts.

Either white people with hemmeroids will boycott or black people will. Choose your poison.

Are you indirectly implying that white people watch football games differently than black people and are likely to have hemorrhoids because of it?

Apparently I'm implying that I can't spell.

You read too much into that. The mere expression of the word Trump triggers progs and send them scurrying to their safe spaces, where they can engage an orgy of Trump bashing and impeachment fantasies to sooth their tortured souls. Indeed, in a prog's mind, there is no greater microagression than mentioning Trump. (See, e.g., WG's response for proof of that assertion.) As a result, I figured there was a chance in hell that they would get my point if I used the Trump example.

apples and oranges dude......  and you know that, but carry on with your trolling stance.  Go Elephants!

scurrying?  Laughing! 

Your zero in charge is the butt of the joke and will remain so until he, like Franklin Pierce, is forgotten as anything but a placeholder President with no accomplishments.

He's an idiot that only the geezer racists and other non thinkers could admire/support.
