Minorities are treated fairly in this country? Didn't realize that. I guess everything is fine then.

Until you can actually discuss the real problems you’ll always be a sheep. Onviously there are problems. When I see marches walking through Chicago and other crime infested communities and cleaning out the gang hoods I don’t want to hear about false protests.

That's because it's NFL policy. They have ridiculously strict clothing codes. I think it's stupid, but I believe it's part of their humongous big endorsement deals.

Players have requested wearing certain pieces of clothing for causes before and are routinely denied. Some guys do and just pay the fine.

Its also NFL policy to stand for the national anthem nice try.

I don’t like it personally. So what I don’t like country music either. I would rather listen to sevendust, king’s x, three five human, and fishbone.
What’s your point?

False.

I believe the operations manual states plays "should" stand, and players "may" receive discipline. However, players must be present on the sideline.

It's systemic. Until the system changes, these problems will persist

It's actually not NFL policy to stand for the anthem. If it was, the league could have fined Kaep and all of the others for doing it.

Correct. Other leagues do mandate standing for the anthem. The NBA has this mandate.

The league is such a mess. Remember when they stopped letting teams post highlights on their team Twitter accounts?

If I kneel at the beginning of work for 90 seconds, I'm not sure anyone would care

You're being disingenuous. Nobody would know why you're kneeling.

So how many songs from these bands have you listened to? What you think I’ll like Eminem because it’s a white dude? Don’t be an idiot. Rap music is useless noise to me like Opeth is noise to an even bigger percentage of people. Ok whatever I like Opeth etc.
I’m not sure what point your trying to make but just say it.

Not really, but nice attempt to egg me on.

I agree with you that some of the blame falls on the players, but when its been 4 years its time to turn to the coaching staff IMO. They're the ones choosing the personnel to use on the PK. 4 years is more than enough time to acquire players, if needed, to at least be league average.

- JFlyers00


I couldn't care less about egging you on, I just called you on the lazy analysis. The best coach in the world wouldn't be worth spit without the players executing. I don't have an issue with putting part of the blame on the coaches. I have an issue putting all of the blame on the coaches.
