Hmmm. Taking a knee for violence of police against blacks is bogus. Studies over the past 15 yrs show zero difference in chance of being shot by police based on race. Blacks are shot and killed a hundred times more by other blacks than police. If the players really wanted to do something, have representatives of each team travel to Chicago and meet with Rahm Emmanuel and the city council and judges and ask why they keep releasing gun crime offenders, which commit 90% of gun crime, back on the streets with light sentences, and why they have handcuffed police from going after them. Have them meet with the leaders of black lives matter and ask them why with the overwhelming majority of black shootings dine by other blacks they aren't calling out the problem in the black community and not the cops.
Study by a black liberal harvard economist who said this was the most surprising result of his career. http://www.businessinsider.com/study...ootings-2016-7 FBI statistics back it up and confirm. Maybe they could address the black population of America, tell them that deaths through shootings, drug OD, etc are overwhelmingly committed by other blacks, that the police aren't the enemy, that protecting black criminals instead of cooperating with police only perpetuates the violence, ask them if it was their husband, mother, child lying dead in the street, would they want people to cooperate with police? And start healing the disconnect between police and the black community. Last edited by Fundguy1; 09-26-2017 at 01:11 PM.. |

Why would you assume I didn't listen? Listening objectively, looking at the evidence, and drawing an unbiased conclusion based on evidence and not hearsay or prejudice that disagree with their opinions doesn't mean I didn't hear them. |

they are not protesting killing blacks. They are protesting killing blacks and cops not being punished for it.

There are a few cases of bad cops out there (see South Carolina case where cop was a jackass (and probably a racist) and he is now paying the piper for his act) but there is NO EPIDEMIC. The epidemic is the senseless slaughtering of blacks by blacks that happens every damn day. That is what they ought to be (and rightfully so) pissing and moaning about. How about protesting and taking a knee at rallies condemning this senseless bullshit. It is not Trump's fault nor is the fault of the National Anthem or the US Flag. These players are dumber than a bag of dicks or just plain oblivious.....or most likely, both.

The real travesty here is the cowboys were not allowed to take a knee for the Dallas cops executed by black activists. Or that people don't point out more cops are being executed by black thugs, black and white cops, male and female, than blacks are being illegally killed by cops because of this false narrative. Where's that outrage?

I understand, their issue is fictitious, they are disrespecting the country that gave them their job and freedom to be disrespectful, and disrespecting every veteran who served and often died for their freedom. My awareness is now how disrespectful these guys are, which ones they are, what teams, and where my rating and money for sports tickets and items will go. And I'm not alone with a majority of the US and larger majority of football fans feeling the same way. So in a way they did do me a service.

Are you a veteran? Don't speak for what veterans feel or don't feel. I am 4th generation military with a son in Mosul, Iraq right now, and none of the men in my family who served in combat feel disrespected by football players kneeling during the anthem. |

Dallas, baton rouge, NYC, etc etc etc. Where's the evidence of one cop not prosecuted for shooting a black man? Where's the evidence of blacks being shot more than anyone else by police? I already cited there isn't any. Where's even 1% of the outrage against the overwhelming majority number one killer of blacks, other blacks?

You said, "the cowboys were not allowed to take a knee for the Dallas cops executed by black activists" The cops shot in Dallas were shot by one mentally unstable individual. No activists shot them, just one man who was not an activist. And if you want evidence, all you have to do is research, don't be a tool bag. |

If they're protesting some fictitious injustices, doing it by taking a knee during the national anthem is not the way to do it. And the league is hypocritical by not allowing players to honor fallen cops but allows players to "draw attention" to something that doesn't exist thats fueling the kill cops or cops are the enemy mentality.
