We, the NFL, condemn racism and the systematic oppression of Black People. We, the NFL, admit we were wrong for not listening to NFL players earlier and encourage all to speak out and peacefully protest. We, the NFL, believe Black Lives Matter. #InspireChangepic.twitter.com/ENWQP8A0sv

That is a stupid ass question and if anything happens to a certain player or 3 that shall not be named we are going to send the protestors, I mean rioters directly to your damn house. Jinxing is a real thing. [Reply]

I keep my football over here (motions in one direction) and my politics over here (motions in other direction). So I'm going to put this over here (motions in other direction). [Reply]
Proud of Pat to voice his opinion, knowing as the biggest star in the league he will get attacked. And he got the BLM piece. Definitely football related as we are going to see the players demanding Goodell and the owners to step up and support this cause. Change is coming on this one. Thanks for posting. [Reply]
Some folks on this forum think that the use of violent excessive force by the police and wannabe vigilantes against people of color (brought on by racial profiling in many cases). Which often results in serious injuries and all too often death, the mass incarceration of the same people, many whose ancestors were brought over here as slaves, who have been routinely murdered, incarcerated, socially and intellectually abused, starved, and lied to over and over is a political issue.
I submit that it is a public health issue and maybe you guys that want to move this thing to D.C. should maybe shut up and listen for once.
It's way beyond political. [Reply]
