The NFL's 2017 numbers are in and it's a dumpster fire. Down 10% for the year and down nearly 20% from the day kneeling for the National Anthem began.
So tell me again how protesting the National Anthem is a good thing?!?

I watched, I really wanted to see Oklahoma in the mythical national championship. I really like Baker Mayfield as he is the kind of leader I'd love to play for. You know the type... crass, wears his heart on his sleeve, can be a real ass, but always leads from the front and inspires those around him ;-)Quote:

Coulda gone either way.
It's an inherent right. Just like it's a right for good "white folk" to march with tiki torches and chant "Jews will not replace us"Quote:

Kneeling during the National Anthem at NFL games will be studied in business schools for years to come as what not to do. The NFL ratings are a sinking ship. If players kneel during the Super Bowl the ratings will be the lowest in years.

Golden State was up 3-1 and that’s the biggest part of the choke job.Quote:
