What in the fuck is wrong with the NFL?

[FSUKW]

This can't be real..... :facepalm

Their pay checks should be proportionate to the attendance levels.


What started as a one-man protest is turning into a revolution within the NFL as the entire Seattle Seahawks team is reportedly considering following San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick's lead and sitting out the national anthem.

Kaepernick has become a viral sensation after sitting out the national anthem as a form of protest against police brutality.

"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color," he said to NFL Media, ABC News reports.

Kaepernick received both approval and vitriol from the nation. While some say that his actions are un-American and disrespectful to our veterans, others are defending his right to protest. Even President Barack Obama has expressed a degree of approval, saying the quarterback is "exercising his constitutional right" and that he is protesting "some real, legitimate issues that have to be talked about," ESPN reports.

Since the start of Kaepernick's protests, two other NFL players have joined, Dead Spin reports: teammate Eric Reid and Seahawks cornerback Jeremy Lane. Lane himself may soon have the support of the rest of the Seahawks team.

Receiver Doug Baldwin has said that he wants to join Lane in sitting out the anthem during the next game. However, he said, “[I would like] to make sure I get all of my ducks in a row before I do so.”

Some believe the statement indicates he hopes to have the support of the entire Seahawks team. Indeed, Baldwin confirms that having a team-wide protest has been discussed in the locker room. Additionally, linebacker Bobby Wagner has agreed with Baldwin, saying that these protests should not be an individual effort.

“Anything we want to do, it’s not going to be individual. It’s going to be a team thing. That’s what the world needs to see. The world needs to see people coming together versus being individuals,” Wagner said, according to Dead Spin.

The Seahawks are set to play the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, the 15th anniversary of the September 11th attacks.

Wagner has yet to say what the team is planning for the game, but has said, “Whatever we decide to do will be a big surprise.”

I hope they do it. They will get roasted. I can't wait to see how the NFL and Seahawk management respond.

What a way to honor all the police officers who died on September 11th. :facepalm2

Pick a different day if you want to do that shit.

[Carr2Cooper]

I applaud that shitty women's soccer team that moved up the anthem so none of the players could pull this shit

[SmithsAUFan]

Honestly, I wish the officials eject each player for sitting out national anthem then suspend them without pay the next game. If they want to quit playing then its cool.

:clap

A credit union that serves military families has “ended its partnership” with Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall after he knelt during the playing of the national anthem at Thursday night’s season-opening game. The Air Academy Federal Credit Union has announced it no longer wishes to have Marshall as one of its ambassadors.

“I'm not against the military,” Marshall said after the Broncos' 21-20 victory Thursday night against the Carolina Panthers. “I'm not against the police or America. I'm against social injustice.”

This country needs to fuck off. We raised these nigs on handouts and then expect them to be anything other than what they are? We failed them and ourselves in the process. If we knew it was going to turn out like this we'd have picked our own cotton

I seriously can't handle this place. Everyone is a fucking pussy that will be offended over any fucking thing. How many different groups would call what I just said hate speech? Fucking pussies I tell you. I was meant to live through the 50s and die before the 60s ruined everything

I'm sure Kapernick is doing this shit for his religion swap that he does not want to announce to the media.

So apparently the entire seahawks team will stand with interlocked arms during the anthem.


Politics and football don't mix.

It's just annoying at this point.

I didn't watch any NFL today and I doubt I missed anything of value.

I just freed up my Sundays indefinitely. :2thumbs

The NFL sucks

1. Players change teams like crazy now
2. Every team runs the same fucking offense so boring and bland. You cannot tell me that a spread option offense would not work in the NFL
3. Their playoff system sucks
4. Their overtime system sucks
5. No real rivalries because players switch teams and fans are not passionate
6. Fantasy football made it so everyone is a casual fan
8. No games are on TV unless you pay a shitload of money for it
9. Players don't always give good effort
10. You should not be getting paid millions to play a fucking game, tickets should be 5 to 25 dollars not 50 to 2000 dollars.
