Despite you thinking its childish, you have to admit that they have at least succeeded in some way by making it national news and exposed some real dumbfucks, one that runs the country even.

I would go with something that isn't blatantly antagonistic. Gestures like this and blocking highways are childish because they have zero value in attracting allies (just the opposite) and only serve to make oneself feel good about being rebellious. Like a child throwing a tantrum.

There's lots of shitty things you can do for attention, but the vague goal of "spreading awareness" doesn't really accomplish much.

I say this as someone predisposed to being very anti-police.

I think the message here is "we tried it your way and cops still assassinate us in broad daylight with zero repercussions, so now its time for this."

oh for god sakes plz dont act like cops just run up and shoot black people like be better i know ur fatter but be better

If Trump does manage to encourage boycotts, the league may have a hard time winning those fans back. This could hasten the decline that was already underway.

Meanwhile, live sports is the sole reason many consumers continue giving shitty cable companies their business. A hit to NFL viewership could seriously damage subscriber numbers as well. Americans are already cord-cutting by the millions each year.

I think protesting the national anthem is childish and counterproductive to the goals of social justice, but I'm fascinated to see how this all plays out.

I think President Trump should stay out of this issue in this capacity. The NFL is an American business with several small satellite businesses surrounding each team. No reason to hurt these people. This is more of a Limbaugh or Hannity thing to do. If the President sees this truly being a problem, then use the executive order power & shut down the season. President Carter kept us out of the 1980 Olympics. Don't know if he used an executive order & the issues are very different. Actually one of the few things Carter got right during his term.

Also the President sets himself up here. What if the liberal snowflakes decide to buy up the tickets & go to the games to fill the stadiums just to make PT look bad. If they will pay $149 to see Billy Joel, someone their parents listened to & march crying about their white privilege, these knuckle heads(well funded knuckle heads) will do any thing.

Truth is, this is another vote killing, losing issue for the democrats. It is amazing how stupid the left has become. Not the party of FDR & JFK anymore. Its irritating as hell but I think politically the best thing to do is let this shit fester.

If your enemy is trying to hang himself, do you take the rope from him?

It's ridiculous to think cops would do that. Honestly the number one thing cops care about is their safety. Most cops I know approach blacks slowly from the safety of their vehicle before before shooting them.

are you gonna be ok crybaby

I disagree with your opinion on most political issues, but I agree with this. Trump would much rather have the NFL protests be the headline on CNN and the NYT than anything Russia related, healthcare related, budget, trying to get rid of the estate tax, etc.

I do find it sad that people are now protesting the flag as a proxy to protest Trump. I think the American flag is a lot bigger than him and anything he stands for, and stands for something a lot bigger, and people should find some other way to protest.
