So let me get this straight. These black NFL players they want life in prison for Zimmerman for killing a guy in self defense, but they want a guy who murdered multiple people in cold blood to be set free.

Great role models. Great ambassadors for the league.

I don't see that in the article.

So...

White hispanic wanna-be cop = not ok to kill blacks

White hispanic football player = ok to kill blacks.

Got it.

You have to be smart enough to remember the comments from other NFL players about Zimmerman posted about in another thread, dumbass.

So what is their message? It's certainly not support for the legal system and due process. It's more we support this guy because he is part of our tribe. We don't care if he is guilty, just free him dammit.

Unfortunately, as ignorant people become more and more influential in our society, and our politics becomes more us-against-them, this kind of thinking becomes more mainstream. It is exactly what turned the Zimmerman situation into a national story.

Just another thing we can thank Obama for.

He's referring to the other thread where NFL players were condemning Zimmerman and putting a price on his head, etc., in conjunction with this article.

Ahh, ok.

The same NFL players?

Don't think so. But that also follows AAA's comment about how the NFL will reprimand some players when it does not suit their agenda, and let others go when it does.

That's a very detailed agenda they must here there, to have room for the Zimmerman issue, and the Hernandez issue.

The NFL "urges" players to remove various commentary they think doesn't belong. But the manner in which they choose which commentary a player is allowed to give and which he is not is arbitrary and obviously politically slanted.

I'm not going to debate it with you, as I could care less. Take AAA off ignore if you're interested in discussing his points.
