Fox deceptive on Eagles

So then explain to the class why people like you get upset when citizens of cities protest in the streets about the injustice going on in those streets. Wouldnt that be the definition of this “right place, right time” mantra you keepbharling on? Sure, they may impact traffic for a while, but the point is so that it cant ignored any longer.

I again will direct you to the Boston Tea Party. Not only were they “in the face” of the British power (or as much as you can be with an ocean separating you), but they were even destructive of someone elses property…and yet somehow we call them patriots and heroes. Today, however, if someone pulled a stunt like that, you and lots like you would call them thugs and probably liberals.

None, good luck convincing trump supporters.

Fox Sports just paid NFL $3.3B for 5 years for Thursday Night football ALONE! That is over $600M each year.

NFL Teams Split Record $7.8 Billion in 2016, Up 10%

The NFL distributed a record $7.8 billion to its 32 teams in 2016, a jump of almost 10% that reflects the league's increasingly rich TV deals.

NFL is not hurting.

You do not know what you’re talking about.

You have never run a business in your life, have you?

There is nothing so funny as listening to a modern lefty preach tolerance.

Thanks for the laugh!

I have indeed, but you feel free to assume as much about me as you want.

Oh, Ihave ZERO problem with peaceful protests in the streets. ZERO.

It is when they set cars on fire and throw things at police and ruin the businesses of uninvolved and innocent parties and attack counter protesters with violence that I kinda have a problem with them.

If they just wanna march, they should have at it.

I have run MANY businesses and in business you NEVER accept less than you can possibly make unless you really don’t care about everyone who works with you and for you. You CERTAINLY do not alienate customers for no good reason when you do not need to.

The NFL changed the rule because they clearly agree with me - not you.

Any business seeks to maximize their profits. The NFL will do no different. You seem to think they are about your cause, they don’t, they simple want your money not because of what you believe. As long as you are good with being used, great they got you.

They didn’t change they policy because they agreed with you they did so to appease you. As long as you agree with that good for all parties involved. Nice job being manipulated. Best you can do is keep not watching. Have fun with that. You watch the other side wins like they wanted, you don’t don’t you accept your manipulation. Either way they still survive and you don’t get what you want. Welcome to lose lose dude.

I love it. You think they somehow got one over on me. They tricked me by agreeing with my stance that on-field protest is inappropriate! Those DEVILS!!

They changed their policy BECAUSE of people like me who left them due to their old policy.

But I’m the one being manipulated!

I have changed NOTHING since this all began and I left them. They have changed. THEY are the ones who were manipulated by pressure from owners who want to try to get me back.

So they did what you wanted them to do. Why are you still complaining?

MarkyS · 2018-06-12T06:25:24.141Z

I’m not complaining that they have decided to change the situation.

I’m bemoaning the rank stupidity of the players, who are really BAD at messaging, and the cowardice of the league that put all this into play because they wouldn’t make this decision until now.

They all ruined what was a pleasant diversion for me and so many others.

It’s a shame you are so easily triggered.

Conservative idiots will believe anything anything.

Yakshi · 2018-06-12T08:02:44.257Z

And anything.

Yakshi · 2018-06-12T08:09:41.452Z

Let the morons triggered by kneeling go find a safe space with darts or bowling. Or rugby, tennis, golf, or one of the other unwatchable sports.

The NFL is superior to their whinesqueals. It sells itself. Don’t like it? Okay, die then. Or pretend to have fun not watching the NFL. At which point you will try to hang yourself with your shoelaces—and fail as badly as your opinion against kneeling.

These conservatives could literally squeal until death and—a bump here, a bump there—the NFL will continue to thrive. The rest of us will get deals on their season tickets.

Some people care more about doing what they can - as little as this is - to correct social injustuice than they do about disrupting the per-game visual of a foot ball game.

tnt · 2018-06-21T17:30:29.670Z

the face that we are discussing it suggests you are wrong.

How do yo feel about the issue the kneeling players are raising?

tnt · 2018-06-21T17:41:08.911Z

How is it that the economy is doing so well, since we are still living under the old trade deals of the Obama era?

MarkyS · 2018-06-22T05:34:03.818Z

Why do you think I am easily triggered???

You understand that just because YOU don’t care about this and don’t think it’s important that doesn’t mean it should not mean a great deal to others.

If I was easily triggered I’d be getting mad about it while it really doesn’t mean anything to me.

We just have a different set of values.
