You are too stupid to compete, brown shirt.

Is not about racism...
its about politicizing sport and disrespecting the flag.
Particularly when the players make millions and could call press conference after press conference to explain the issues and how they are all devoting their time and money to change it... Nike Under Armour... the NFL its billionaires could all do this.
And if they did intelligently without taxing the shit out of the middle class...I would support them.
and you know what... the country including a ton of democrats agree...
only 31 percent support the NFL... protesting the national anthem.

Poll: Who’s Backing NFL Protesters? The Answer May Surprise You
By Emily Ekins On 9/26/17
This article first appeared on the Cato Institute site.
On Monday we released one question from the forthcoming national Cato 2017 Free Speech and Tolerance Survey of 2,300 Americans conducted by the Cato Institute in collaboration with YouGov.
The national survey finds that a solid majority, 61 percent, of Americans oppose firing NFL (National Football League) players who refuse to stand for the national anthem before football games in order to make a political statement.
These results stand in contrast to President Trump’s remarks over the weekend and his urging NFL teams to fire players who refuse to stand for the anthem.
A little more than a third (38 percent) of Americans align with Trump and support firing these players.
Conservative Republicans stand out in their support for firing NFL players who refuse to stand for the national anthem. Nearly two-thirds (65 percent) of Republicans say NFL players should be fired for this reason.
Only 19 percent of Democrats and 35 percent of independents agree.
Punishing NFL players for their political speech distinguishes political Conservatives from Libertarians. Using a political typology method to identify these ideological groups, the survey finds that Conservatives (62 percent) are the only political group to support firing NFL players.
Conversely, 60 percent of Libertarians, 85 percent of Liberals, and 62 percent of Communitarians (social conservatives who support larger government) all oppose punishing players.
People who are older, with less education, and living in smaller towns and rural communities are most likely to support punishing NFL players who kneel during the national anthem in political protest.
A majority (57 percent) of Americans over 65 think such players should be fired while 71 percent of Americans under 30 think they should not. Those without college degrees (44 percent) are more likely than college graduates (32 percent) and those with postgraduate degrees (26 percent) to similarly support punishing NFL players who engage in this form of political protest.
Americans living in rural communities are divided in half over whether teams should fire NFL players who refuse to stand for the national anthem. Conversely, those living in large urban centers solidly oppose (69 percent) such firings.
Majorities across racial groups oppose firing NFL players who kneel during the national anthem before football games. However, African Americans (88 percent) are about 30 points more likely than Hispanics (60 percent) and whites (55 percent) to oppose.
Not wanting to fire NFL players because of their political speech doesn’t mean that most Americans agree with the content of this speech. Surveys have long shown, as well as this one, that most oppose burning, desecrating, or disrespecting the American flag.
Thus, Americans appear to make a distinction between allowing a person to express (even controversial) political opinions and endorsing the content of their speech. The public can be tolerant of players’ refusing to stand for the national anthem, even while many disagree with what the players are doing.
In sum, Americans don’t want to strip people of their livelihoods and ruin their careers over refusing to stand for the national anthem.
Even if they don’t agree with the content of the speech, that doesn’t mean they support punishing people who do.

The Cato Institute 2017 Free Speech and Tolerance Survey was designed and conducted by the Cato Institute in collaboration with YouGov. YouGov collected responses online August 15-23, 2017 from a national sample of 2,300 Americans 18 years of age and older. The margin of error for the survey is +/- 3.00 percentage points at the 95 percent level of confidence. The full survey report is forthcoming.

Not surprised at all that conservatives want black people to lose their jobs for peacefully protesting racism.
This poll was taken August 15-23 -- well before the current controversy came into full focus. I expect these results are invalid at this point, and a new poll is required to get meaningful data.
what a bunch of disinformation tony just posted.
the poll I posted was from yesterday.
and only 31 percent of the country supports the NFL.
The steelers owners are already penning letters begging the fans for forgiveness and the NFL is looking to hire a new crisis management team.
The NFL players screwed up and so did their teams owners.
These players should be leading and doing things that make useful change... not being protesting pawns for the the dnc's patriarchal cronies. If the system does not work... it was put in place by their dnc team. However, everytime some in their community try to do something different they get mocked and destroyed.
So what they are left with is a dnc created inner city soul destroying system and useless protests by the few who get to perform for the owners.
