NFL: League NOT seeking mandate for players to stand during anthem

noise said:
no it didn't "die down".
It was like walking around with a splinter in my foot. It was constantly there aggrevating.
Trump just gave words to what many of us were thinking ( good for him).

I don't care otherwise what they do- as long as they do what my sig sez :

The fact that it bothers you so, it evidence that it's working. Not unlike your Vietnam protests.

Except these guys aren't doing heroin

That's a clear case of projection.

The standing tradition is a sign of national unity; therefore, its *the players who kneel* that are guilty of dividing the country.

And the fact that trump ran on a platform of destroying unity is lost on you?

How the fuck could that be?

what does dope have to do with it? They are making millions of $$ and shitting on the anthem.

It's not working. There is no clear message,and it's pissing off middle America.
Do you thing police shooting reform is more likely with this?
no -i doubt many even get that was the original idea. It's lost in the noise

Now it's about Trump/racism/unity/..whatever

who the fuck is Doreen McCallister, and why should I care? I'm not a "fan" in that I've learned to not live and die with football.
Which doesn't mean I don't enjoy watching -just that I don't care about being a fan and all that entails.

I've seen enough of that 'wanna be Maoist' Kap kneeling on the sidelines w/ his posse -that it was aggrevating
(my splinter analogy). Trump merely bought it to a head.

no. it's about getting one's worthless ass up in respect for the anthem. not "attacking blacks".
That goes for everyone. Respect the country that gave us the freedoms. Take that political crap elsewhere

Wrong again. 'The country that gave us the freedoms', used black soldiers in WW2 who had no rights when they returned home.

Time to start smoking weed again. You've turned into quite the braindead conservative in the past few years.

No rights under the socialist democrat dictatorship of FDR and Truman?

ridiculous. i care abou so called "equal justice" and I know there is a problem w/rogue cops.

But it's not more then that either - Kap and company rant on abut institutional racism -
while kneeling there and collecting millions? give ME some of that "institutional racism"

I don't expect you to agree.
You never seem to see the USA is self correcting and has not only given us the civil rights movement,
but has established a viable black middle class.

Not too shabby for a "racist" country. eh?

Take that shit elsewhere. Get their worthless asses up!

Again, you don't give a rats ass about their cause .. and I don't care that you don't.

The point is that you can't do shit about it AND the only way this ends is through the players, not through what you or the Clown thinks about it.

You can however rant about it until you're blue in the face, or until the cows come home.

Take that MAGA bullshit somewhere else.

WTF does WWII soldiers have to do with anything?
you act like history stopped with out a civil rights movement.
I love how you guys refuse to see ANY self correction by the USA.
Why don't you go back to before the civil war by that logic?

Screw weed. it's a nasty habit. I picked it up again and am putting it back down for good, except medicinal use

The mere fact that you ask, negates the need for me to continue with you.

The NFL said on Friday it has no plans to mandate players stand for the U.S. national anthem, but will rather present a possible solution on how to end the controversial protests when it meets with team owners next week.

Commissioner Roger Goodell, along with the head of the NFL Players Association, will meet with the owners from Oct. 17-18 in New York where the issue of player protests during the U.S. national anthem is expected to command much attention.

"(Goodell) has a plan that he is going to present to owners about how to use our platform to both raise awareness and make progress on issues of social justice and equality in this country," NFL spokesman Joe Lockhart said on a conference call.

"What we don't have is a proposal that changes our policy, we don't have something that mandates anything. That's clear. If that was the case I doubt the head of the NFLPA would have put a joint statement out with us."

The statement released on Wednesday said Goodell invited NFLPA Executive Director DeMaurice Smith to the meetings and that the agenda will be a continuation of how to make progress on the important social issues that players have vocalized.

The protests, in a league where African-Americans make up the majority of players, have continued through the current season, with some players kneeling and others standing arm-in-arm in solidarity.

The gesture is intended to call attention to what protesting players see as a pattern of racism in the treatment of African-Americans by U.S. police.

In other words, fuck Trump.

I said this weeks ago. The NFL needs to launch a campaign. Honestly, I'm not sure what they're going to come up with, but it ought to be
a message of change based on getting out to vote in local elections.

Because that's the only way a Ferguson never happens again. A majority black community with an all white chain of command.

i tell you that I do care about rogue cops, and you tell me that I don't. Lovely. you are (as usual) your un-reasonable self.

It is the VENUE I have an objection with.
as to what the players do -no i don't care-they don't deserve my respect as fellow Americans.
