Let this dumbass tradition be dead

[Okeefenokee]

I am just going to give my two cents in here:

But here is the thing. The NFL really does want this to go away, and it was working btw until Trump spoke out DURING A POLITICAL RALLY that had absolutely nothing to do with any of this. First in 2016 came Kaepernick where he kneeled during the national anthem. Then he lost his job as the 49ers quarterback and was basically blacklisted for kneeling during the national anthem. Dude can't find a team that wanted to sign him for the 2017 Season. Kaepernick is basically blacklisted because of this but he personally can't prove it but it's really what pretty much everybody silently agrees on. The NFL was just happy to sweep this under the rug but every since Trump decided to make it his thing, the reverse has happened. Now, it's everywhere and there are too many players to fire/not sign and/or even blacklisted without doing major overhauling (and they are probably won't do it if a multimillion-dollar quarterback is doing it (or making statements) they will stop it because again there is no rule in the NFL saying that they have to stand during the national anthem).

Non-football watching liberal doesn't know what the hell she's talking about.

Kaep didn't lose his job for kneeling. He lost his job for sucking. That's why he had already been replaced and was sitting on the bench when he pulled his stunt. He knew he wasn't gonna get signed at the end of the season for his shitty play, so he pulled a stunt in hopes he'd be able to leverage his victim status against the team he knew was going to cut him. It didn't work. He got cut anyway.

How'd that idiot get an entire league to play victim

Another day in America, another day hysterical Americans want to punish each other for their freedom of speech.

The NFL has a bottleneck problem. No other league can give you the same level of talent unlike most businesses. These guys are doing this in stadiums funded by taxpayer money in a league that has a monopoly. Also they doing it on the job, most people on the job don't preach politics when dealing with the costumer.

Stop the lying Penner! Kap wasn't cut or contract expired he took an out clause because he thought he could get a starting job somewhere else.

Now he might've been right but make one thing clear, it would've been a starting Quarterback on a bad team. And if that is your aim you better be young who has some upside, he doesn't, or a vet with leadership and mentoring skills, he absofuckinglutey doesnt. Same reason Tim Tebow aint in the league. His talent isnt worth the bullshit. Look at Micheal Bennett, he gets in trouble with the police and also kneels during the National Anthem but no one cares, Why? Because he can produce at his position. He could wipe his ass with the flag and 20 teams would still sign him. And you would nominate him for President.

Trump is stiffing the Washington Press Corps again.

This year The Trump is holding a MAGA rally for Saturday April 28th in Washington, MI, (Detroit suburb) the same night and time as the White House Correspondent’s Dinner 07:00 pm (EST). The rally venue is Total Sports Park.

The elites gather in DC, for a black tie event, high dollar food and drink. Every POTUS since Coolidge has attended this thing, until Trump.

Reporters held their Nerd Prom last night...................... No One cared

The ones who got roasted by "comedian" Michelle Wolf cared. I watched a few minutes of it on Youtube. She wasn't even trying to be funny. It was, well, deplorable.

From TV to movies to literature, the left is now is full on assault mode and it's ruining entertainment. Sports figures even get political, but at least the games themselves are free of it (so far). Everything else is designed to shove their political and cultural views down our throats.

I hope people care enough to at least pay attention to just how vile the left has become. We're supposed to be outraged and retroactively sorry thinking Apu was funny, but hateful shit like this is acceptable and even encouraged because the people being hateful feel their targets deserve it.

Someone in that leftist bubble needs to fully explain the rules to the rest of us. Just come out and say it already: white people, Christians and conservatives are free game. Everyone else that "identifies" as something other than that is off limits.

Yeah, older comedians like Seinfeld believe comedy is dead.
