Where is Trump meme of him humping the flag when you need it?
Who could hate on a guy like this besides Trump?

That guy is hurting no one but himself. He needs to find some joy in life.Quote:

In what way is he hurting himself? I'm just curious?Quote:

Umm, yeah, but not with the Raiders. He actually sat, to be clear. I'm thinking you pretty much had to Google that link, post your reaction, to be honest.Quote:

He just dragged 9 Rams into the End Zone last night and the guy brings pure joy to Oakland. He knows bullshit when he sees it. Marshawn is an American treasure!

You're right...I remember him sitting now and he looked angry. It's when he ran for the Raiders...last year? Two?
It was the word "metaphor" by the interviewer that took me in that direction. The metaphor being wanting to run over (as he put it so eloquently) the white people that are holding him back, or the cops, or whoever.
In regards to your curiosity about him being...IMO, sad and pathetic... my first post on this sums it up quite nicely, I think.
Not sad.Quote:

I'm referring to Mr. Lynch in the context of this thread. You seem to be in love with the guy. Donate any cash to his charity?
This reminds me of the Big Island of Hawaii. I've spent many months there. There are lot of locals that want the Haole's (white people) to get the hell out. They're just pissing in the wind, just like the football players.
Personally, I'd like to talk to some of these guys to really zero in on what the beef is. Looks ugly to me...but who knows? Perhaps I'd come out of it with a different insight. I've heard several black people say "You have to be black to understand".
Bottom line...I wish the famous athletes would condemn the gang violence instead of ignoring it's worship.
A little up, a little down. Still huge #'s overall compared to everything else on TV

The real dead sport is NASCAR. Can you imagine if the NFL posted a # like this?

The funny part is I was a huge NASCAR fan, not so much anymore, but the problem is I see the NFL heading down the same rabbit hole that NASCAR went down. I could bore you with details for hours but the short version is NASCAR ignored its true fan base, and instead chased the might TV dollars. I see the NFL doing exactly the same thing and following suit.Quote:

I agree. When football finally loses its place as America's pastime, it will be concussions that does it. I'm a perfect example. I have a 7 year old that is a pretty good athlete and loves sports. He plays baseball in the spring and summer, soccer in the fall and skis in the winter. I pretty much think soccer blows, and he would be in football if it wasn't for everything we've learned in the last 7 years. If you would have told me when he was born, that I had a kid that wanted to play football, but he was in soccer instead, I would assume I had died and his mom vetoed it. There's no doubt thousands of parents out there like me.Quote:

I get a big kick out of the media's reference to "NFL QB Colin Kaepernick".
When you have been out of the league for two years your career is over and you should be referred to as "EX-NFL QB Colin Kaepernick".
I'd be curious to know what Kaepernick's contract with Nike pays. I'm betting it pays more than his NFL contract paid.

I know, I hate it when people and groups do that. Just retire it already.

Hey now, I had high hopes for Jimmy and my 9ers. That was an unfortunate injury but it did free up my Sunday’s. Then again, Jimmy G knocks out pornstars with 77 million guaranteed. He’ll be backQuote:

Kap should probably send a check to Trump after he gets his estimated $30mm from his collusion case. Seriously, the kneeling had all pretty much blown over before Trump made an issue of it. Without trump he probably would have been on a team earning a couple mill a year but all the hubbub with Trump turned Kap into something the owners were afraid to touch. Quite a long term win for Kap. Big check from NIKE, big check from the NFL, no CTE, and his cause gets a ton of attention. Love him or hate him he definitely won this whole thing.

Michael Bennett Stood During The National Anthem For The First Time In Three Years In His Debut With Cowboys On ‘MNF’
Michael Bennett hadn’t stood during the National Anthem before an NFL game in nearly three years but today was different.
Bennett has always been vocal about his ability to protest the anthem to shed light on social justice issues.
Here’s what Bennett had to say about the matter back in 2017.
(Via CBS Sports
“I think the first step to even being able to even have a conversation is to make sure that Colin Kaepernick gets an opportunity to play in the NFL,” “I think before we even negotiate anything about whether we sit or whether we stand should be a negotiation about opening up the doors for Colin Kaepernick and give him an opportunity again, because I feel like through everything that’s been lost, I think all of us are having opportunities to be able to speak to our employers, but to think about the guy who started everything not to be able to have a voice at this moment, it just doesn’t seem very right to me.”
Bennett had opted to stay in the locker room during the anthem when he was with Patriots earlier this year but Cowboys owner Jerry Jones insisted that Bennett stood for the anthem when he traded for him.
Bennett and the Cowboys discussed the issue before the trade was finalized and he is expected to stand.
“I’m satisfied that, in Michael, we’ve got a player who knows how we do it here with the Cowboys,” Jones said on his radio show on 105.3 The Fan Tuesday.
Cowboys Jason Garrett echoed Jones saying, “We anticipate him doing what all of our players do. We don’t anticipate that being an issue.”
Bennett kept his word with Jones and stood during tonight’s anthem in his debut with the Cowboys.

Holy smokes that game last night was awesome! Can you imagine a Super Bowl like that?...because usually one team just smears the other. That was probably the craziest game I've ever seen...I would think even a person not into football would have been glued to that one.
That poor kid that missed the FG that would have won it for 'Frisco probably didn't sleep last night. Too bad, as I was rootin' for him.
Yeah great game for sure and the hawks got it done. Big win for them and the 9ers got exposed a bit.
