Sorry you feel that way. We used to get along great, for years on end, until Trump came along.

I must really stick out on this board, with all my 'hate-filled delusion and hypocrisy.' This forum being the exemplification of friendliness, openess, mutual respect and understanding. The debating of various and differing viewpoints is encouraged and common practice around here. This forum is the paradigm of a peaceful, inclusive, kumbaya-type gathering of sports fans from around the world, where everyone is made to feel welcome, regardless of political persuation.

Sorry to **** it up for everyone else.

I think it's the total dissonance from acknowledging most any left-wing failures in your part. Most reasonable people know that both parties have failed candidates, policies and agendas. You proceed with your talking points even when soundly discredited. It does get old pretty damn fast. I'm by no means perfect but you're on another level in regards to acceptance and communicating that.

No you're not. And learn how to spell you miserable ****.

It’s been said but I’ll say it for ME.

Sports were an escape, a hobby, a release from “life,” something me and the boys, my wife or myself would just sit back and let go. Here is the reasons why it’s not for me.

1. I don’t agree with BLM as an organization, their premise is statistically wrong.
2. Drew brees can’t say in an elegant way, a respectable way why he supports standing but also is ok that don’t without being strung up like the lord. Forced to repent, forced to against his “very values.” Butt the opposite is fine.
3. Other players, NBA, Our own have stated why they won’t conform, ...questioned to the hill but but bc of their skin they are fine.
4. I don’t watch the weather to see sports. I don’t watch fishing to see the news, I don’t put in pornhub to watch Disney.
5. It’s all political bs. Just see NBA. James can talk all his bs, but loves his loot off of China slaves. Just a tid bit about me...he was the reason I started to watch the nba.

So don’t tell me I’m being childish. Don’t tell me I’m a X. I don’t believe what is being forced down my throat. How do I respond? I don’t watch. I don’t buy. I am not burning **** down, stealing my new TV, causing wildfires. I just don’t participate and that makes me childish. Ironic

Lol. Don’t go there with spelling. I have to be the worse. I blame my phone. Yeah. Damn China POS. Lol

I don't normally go there ever amigo, he's just such a snooty little know-it-all that it's enjoyable to poke holes in his clever little facade.

 

[Tim Steelersfan]

If you don't want to watch Steelers games, then don't.

Oh believe me I want to. People have to make principled stands. Like those "peaceful" protesters willing to be arrested for their cause.

This is a practice we should stop. Regardless the political issue, it shouldn't be conveyed on this platform.

Good luck in your struggle. I hope it pays off in the end and that you achieve what it is your striving for.

Appears the struggle is real.

NFL opener ratings tumble to 10-YEAR LOW, despite pent-up demand for football on TV, as league pays price for politicizing sport

Television ratings for the NFL season opener dropped 16 percent from 2019's opening game, sliding to a 10-year low, marking the first real test of fan response to the league's increasingly woke social activism.

Thursday night's game between defending NFL champions the Kansas City Chiefs and last year's AFC South winner, the Houston Texans, drew 16.4 million viewers among adults aged 18-49, Deadline reported. The ratings figures are preliminary, but if they hold at that level when final figures are released, they will be down by millions of fans from last year's opener between the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers.

'This is how free speech works': Fans vent frustration at endless player protests by booing latest stunt during NFL season opener


Fans have turned on two sets of NFL players and coaching staff after they defended their actions in holding more protests during an NFL season opener, including a decision by the Houston Texans to shun the US national anthem.

The Texans stayed in their locker room for the rendition of 'The Star Spangled Banner' before their game against the Kansas City Chiefs, leaving their opponents to hear the anthem and a performance by pop star Alicia Keys of 'Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing,', the song known as the black national anthem that will be played before each NFL game during the first week of its return.

Some fans booed as the Chiefs headed back to their own locker room, and more jeers rang out as the players returned to the field to line up, link arms, watch social justice messages appear on the scoreboard and share a moment of silence dedicated to the fight for equality.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">The Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans begin the 2020 NFL season with linked arms and a moment of silence for social justice.<a href="https://t.co/XPupLFGqoC">pic.twitter.com/XPupLFGqoC</a></p>— Keith Boykin (@keithboykin) <a href="https://twitter.com/keithboykin/status/1304216148989313024?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 11, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

"We get all the other stuff all the time on every other channel and football is supposed to be a nice escape," said one viewer, tiring of the frequency of social justice protests that have included players kneeling before games and wearing shirts emblazoned with messages supporting the Black Lives Matter movement.

Another noted the irony of players and coaches condemning the boos at the Chiefs' Arrowhead Stadium, adding that Colin Kaepernick, the civil rights activist and quarterback who originated the symbolic kneeling gesture in 2016, wanted the rights that the fans had exercised.

"The NFL players from Kaep onwards wanted the right to protest," they ponted out. "But now people are going to whine because fans are booing in protest? Can't have it both ways, man. This is how free speech works."

Sorry you feel that way. We used to get along great, for years on end, until Trump came along.

Yes we did and it was absolutely Trump's election. Make no mistake, I don't like it either. I just cannot in good conciseness even relate to the type of deranged lunacy that Trump has caused you to engage in. And I don't want to relate to it. I find it scary quite frankly.

You clearly have begun to enjoy inciting people to a point of rage by insulting and ******** on the very things they hold most dear in this country, which is what I find the most abhorrent.

This is too true in many cases. It is exactly my point, that we no longer discuss in this nation. We just hate and are arrogant. It's wrong. It's another sign that the strength of this once great nation is now gone.

 

[MTC]

It's divisive, and segregationist.

Anything that blacks have fought for in the 1960’s etc is all torn down due to this division scheme.
Virtue signalers see at as good. Any normal american will acknowledge racism exist and doesn’t condone it.
They speak through actions.



As for the far left and how scary and acceptable it is to infringe on people’s personal space in a child like manner.
I have a schizo neighbor who the law feels sorry for when she claims mental health problems. I see it she’s a grown *** 44 year old woman. Where is it acceptable to threaten 6 year old kids and get away with it?

Show unity for what JJ Watt?...show unity to who? I don't need to see your stinkin unity.

Let's see... united in your belief that those in the stands booing are racists?
United in your belief that black lives matter? Who the **** is saying they don't?

 

[Stewey]

It seems to me, time after time, white & black criminals are treated differently, that's all that I'm saying. In a Constitutional Republic, in the most advanced democracy on the planet with equal justice for all, that is a problem.

It seems to me, time after time, that you're ignorant. Blacks appear to receive harsher sentences than whites because their rap sheets are already a mile long. Secondly, black judges impose equally harsh sentences on blacks as do white judges.

Also, if someone already hasn't told you, blacks commit a disproportionally larger amount of crime than do whites. Now you know.

Mr Watt needs to Understand what those people were booing is the fact that the players are “Showing unity” for an organization that wants To burn the Constitution and tear down America and replace it with a socialist dictatorship.

Stewey,

You are 100% correct. But you have to understand America hating leftists are not interested in facts. They are only interested in pushing the narrative that justifies them destroying the nation so they can seize power.

Black men make up 6% of the population but commit 70% of the felonies and 50% of the homicides in America.
It would be greatly helpful if black families and black leadership, including pro athletes, would tell their kids to not commit crimes and attract the attention of the police in the first place instead of teaching them that the police are the enemy.
If George Floyd had not broken the law the police would not have been called and he would have simply died from a drug overdose on his own.
If Jacob Blake had not sexually assaulted a woman and/or listened to the police, the police would not have been called and he would not have been shot.
Yeah I know, quit being racist.

Oh I understand. To the far left there is no "fixing" this country. There is little to fix. To them America's very founding is illegitimate and she must be brought down to her knees. White men stole this country. That's what needs to be fixed. .The countless policies/programs put in place since the Civil Rights Act to make an even playing field is meaningless. White guilt liberals whom I detest more than BLM buy into the illusion of racism and oppression that the far left is selling in order to destroy the nation. Yep, facts and truth don't matter.

 

[JMM]

It's a beautiful morning here in VA. Even a little cool. Would have been a great day to grill and watch football. It will be a great day to grill and do yard work then maybe go fishing instead. F the NfL.

If I cared what someone who chases a ball around all day thinks, I'd listen to my dog.

 

[Steelr4evr]

Just saw 2 police officers sitting in their patrol cars got ambushed last night. Got it on video. Guy sneaks up to the car, sticks the gun through the window,fires off some shots and runs off.

Both officers in hospital in critical condition. BLM marxist group tries to enter hospital and tries to block entry.

They're already stating I hope they die online.

So how long before it's throwdown time?

Maybe NFL players will put the names on their helmets?
