I dont think 70% of Americans are racist more like 40-45% with around 90% of them being republican. What The NFL needs to do is end the uncertainty and do like Nike did and pick a side,the right side, and tell the other side to go fuck themselves and we dont care if you're a not customer.
Gwb_Trading is becoming more eccentric by the month it seems, and the resident nuts on here love him ( including some who are clearly racist ). You are right, the NFL doesn't give a shit about his opinion nor should they. I highly doubt he's a real sports fan or participant and I doubt his family cares for him to go on these highly politicized rants all the time. He comes off as a control freak obsessed with accumulating assets. We've all met guys like this in our lives, they aren't worth the time of day unless you are forced to work with them.
More typical projection and personal attacks from Nine_Ender. Clearly Nine_Ender has nothing of value to add to the discussion.
Once again you confuse spiteful personal attacks with something that is meant to be humorous (including the smiley face in my earlier post to show intent).
And now the Carolina Panthers have this idiot as their owner. Panther tickets are now showing up on GroupOn / Fanxchange at a steep discount after his absurd comments. The Carolina's --- even in the middle of a hurricane -- are not going to put up with this nonsense which offends many of the military & former military members here. Many people are urging the new idiot owner to move his team elsewhere as soon as possible. NFL Owner Rips Trump for Criticizing Anthem Protesters https://www.breitbart.com/sports/2018/09/13/nfl-owner-rips-trump-for-criticizing-anthem-protesters/ Dave Tepper has not been an NFL owner for a very long time. However, he’s wasted no time letting everyone know where he comes down on the issue of NFL anthem protests. Tepper, the billionaire businessman and hedge fund manager who purchased the Panthers in the offseason, decried President Trump’s rants against the protesters as “the biggest bunch of bull-dinky ever.” According to the New York Post: NFL players are the ‘most patriotic people’ in the country — with substantial charitable contributions to their local communities, Tepper said in an interview on CNBC. Tepper did not mention Trump by name but at one point in the interview referred to the red-headed man in Washington. During the interview, the hedgie recited the Pledge of Allegiance, calling its words among the most patriotic things he knows and it being what America is about. Tepper emphasized during his pledge the words, ‘and justice for all.’ In a nod to the social justice cause NFL players claim to be protesting for, Tepper said the national anthem during his interview, placing special emphasis on the words, “and justice for all.” This is hardly Tepper’s first foray into politics. Just prior to the 2016 election, the founder of Appaloosa Management blasted both Hillary Clinton and then-candidate Trump. “You have one person with questionable judgment and the other person may be demented, narcissistic and a scumbag. Not saying which one’s which. You can make your own decision on that,” Tepper explained in October 2016. The protest movement launched by former 49er Colin Kapernick, is entering its third year. Kaepernick filed a collusion grievance against the NFL earlier this year alleging that the league’s owners had conspired under pressure from President Trump, to keep him out of the league. The former 49er’s legal team won their summary judgment case against the league last week, meaning that the case can now proceed to the trial phase. The NFL changed their anthem policy in May, requiring all players on the field to stand and show respect during the playing of the Star-Spangled Banner. However, the NFLPA filed a grievance against the league, accusing the NFL of not including them in the decision making process. The NFL then suspended the enforcement provisions of the new rule, until the two sides could come to a compromise on a new rule. -------------------------------------- and yes the article is from Breitbart -- if you don't like it then you can read the information elsewhere such as the referenced NY Post article - https://nypost.com/2018/09/13/nfl-owner-slams-trumps-attack-on-national-anthem-protesters/
