The NFL is dead, they just don't know it yet. Might as well just get on with it and make it flag football as concussions will kill the sport slowly just as it does the player.
Raiders Joseph Karl makes a perfect form tackle and gets called for a penalty under the new NFL rules.

I dunno. Looks like Joseph lowered his head and drilled the other dude's face with the crown of his helmet. Classic targeting penalty.
It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.

Last year when a bunch of Broncos took at knee, I just gave up on them. They suck now anyway.
So with the first preseason game, two of our biggest stars stayed in the locker room during the Anthem. Still done with 'em.
A few years ago, I saw an interview with a successful, conservative black guy. He had just written a book titled "I'm Glad He Couldn't Run", or something like that. He was referring to an ancestor of his who was a slave.Suddenly my feet are feet of mud
It all goes slo-mo
I don't know why I am crying
Am I suspended in Gaffa?

I think the players don't realize they are making their biggest customer mad when they take a knee.

NFL & National Anthem
Well Nike is a big NFL supporter. This will be interesting. You know what they say about publicity and I think that’s exactly what they want. It’s about selling sneakers.

Taya Kyle responds to nike:
Nike, I love your gear, but you exhaust my spirit on this one. Your new ad with Colin Kapernick, I get the message, but that sacrificing everything thing…. It just doesn’t play out here. Sacrificing what exactly? A career? I’ve done that both times I chose to stay home and be with my kids instead of continuing my business climb… and it wasn’t sacrificing everything. It was sacrificing one career and some money and it was because of what I believe in and more importantly, who I believe in.
At best, that is all Colin sacrificed… some money and it’s debatable if he really lost his career over it. Maybe he sacrificed the respect of some people while he gained the respect of others. Or maybe he used one career to springboard himself into a different career when the first was waning. I don’t know. What I do know is, he gained popularity and magazine covers he likely wouldn’t have gotten without getting on his knees or as you say, “believing in something.” I’m also thinking the irony is that while I am not privy to the numbers, it’s likely he gained a lucrative Nike contract. So yeah… that whole “sacrificing everything” is insulting to those who really have sacrificed everything.

Fake News
"The very action of self expression and the freedom to speak from one’s heart — no matter those views — is what Pat and so many other Americans have given their lives for,” she said in a statement. (In the past, not about this)

Wow--now you have me identified as the news(hint--that was my opinion based on what Taya stated in the above referenced article from daily caller)
" You want to talk about someone in the NFL sacrificing everything? Pat Tillman. NFL STARTING, not benched, player who left to join the Army and died for it. THAT is sacrificing everything for something you believe in."
really, you have got to give me your paypal acct. so I can send you some moneyI'm not Spartacus

I actually think this is a genius move by Nike, create controversy, be out there for a rebellious or disenfranchised youth. They're gonna sell a ton of kicks, I doubt the MAGA crowd is their target demographic.
