With all of the protests going on, tit-for-tat Twitter wars, and players taking a knee on foreign soil, why not make this an official thing here on the cooler. One thing is certain . . . the NFL needs to get a hold of this situation because at the rate they're going they'll become the first major sports league to commit voluntary suicide.
Yes, there is racial strife and disparity around the U.S. Some cops (5%) are crooked asswipes, but every sector of society has its good vs. the bad.The fact is, players taking a knee is tantamount to turning your back on the country that has gifted you the opportunity to make ungodly sums of money for playing a fcuking game.
I think we can all agree; some incidents should have been investigated more: The cop that had Eric Garner in a choke hold should have eased up on his windpipe the moment he told him "I can't breathe." (Instead, the cop said "fcuk your breath).
But on the other hand, Michael Brown was shown on video roughing up a convenience store clerk only minutes before he encountered officer Darren Wilson . . . and black witnesses testified before a grand jury that they saw him reaching for the cops gun before officer Wilson was forced to use deadly force.
At the end of the day, football players are EMPLOYEES!!! Most companies won't allow their employees to wear buttons that support one political candidate over the other, so why should these millionaires use the team owners stadium and a national audience as a platform for personal politics??? Do that shit on your own time, but they're too dumb to realize they're hurting their own bottom line.
It's already starting to hit them in the bank account, and ratings will only continue to plummet as long as they continue to piss off 50% of the American population.
