    Does it hurt Trump? He has no shame, so he can't be shamed. And his base loves it (see this thread). So it's just more of the same there.
    If it helps the NFL so much, why are they losing their ass this year?

    In case no one noticed, they're NOT protesting the flag. The protest started as focusing on unequal treatment of blacks in this country. The protest is now about the POTUS calling out the owners to fire anyone who doesn't stand for the anthem. Protest is part of the American culture, it's in the Bill of Rights under free speech. This is what veterans have fought and died for. In some other countries people have no right to protest and are arrested. Do we want that here? A dictatorship? We're letting Trump walk all over the constitution and Bill of Rights and if someone doesn't stand up to him now then he'll turn this into a dictatorship. I'm with the players on this one.

    NFL league revenue was 13 Billion in 2016. The salary cap is 167 million or about 5.3B total. If we assume that employee cost is about 70% of the total cost to run the NFL that leaves the owners with around 6 Billion to split between themselves. NFL is a non profit, so that is roughly 187,500,000 in tax free profit per team.

    That's an exaggeration, but the game is boring. And the concussion thing makes many people uneasy and less kids playing and parents coaching the game. This controversy may be what NFL needed to drum back interest. This week's ratings will probably be tops for year.

    NFL hasn't been a non-profit since 2015.

    Anti free speech and disrupting the national anthem will make for some great TV ads next Nov. Hopefully Trump goads those nitwits into not playing.

    The same people who don't see this are the ones that would be screaming to the high heavens about their right to bear arms if someone tried to restrict that. Sbr forum is pretty much full of ignorant or close minded people so there's no point in really even trying to have a healthy open conversation here

    How are blacks exactly treated unequal in this county? Are the black players making less money than the white players or something? I don't get it what exactly they are even protesting? Do they even know? Must likely not because most of those players can't even speak proper English.

    It's not about inequality stop being fooled. That's just the bs they say to justify tearing statues down and shitting on the flag. They want a revolution. They do not like the system we have here nor any non liberal white person. The brain washing is occurring by certain ideaologies taking root in colleges across America and the social media boom. You get get people obsessed with attention and they will say or do whatever the crowd wants.

    Please show me one person who because of the players kneeling have decided to now see inequality in America any different than the did before. All you do is either share and like or you get angry at looking at our flag being disrespected. It's not correct and you know it.

    Steelers stay in the locker room and lose.

    Tom Brady with a gutsy comeback. Patriots win.

    These narratives write themselves. Field day for Trump.

    Retards protest by being drama queens and kneeling during the anthem, blocking highways, and wearing their pants around their knees. Sensible people protest with voting.
