The people saying they are done with the NFL are buying jerseys. I'm not sure they understand how a boycott works.


They boycott things they don't use, so of course they don't know how it works.

His team actually stayed in the back to avoid protesting.

No, they stayed in the back in protest. They wanted to find a way to protest without singling out Villanueva, and staying off the field during the national anthem was the way they agreed upon.


No. Listen to the damn coach. they stayed in the back to avoid being brought into political bullshit.

Oh, you know what, you're kind of right. Several of the players wanted to protest the national anthem, a few didn't, so to remain unified they just stayed in the locker room.

So you admit the left has hijacked Kaep's original meaning of the kneel down, and now it's about Trump?

So, you're saying these people really don't care about the innocent lives that were lost?

That people will go out and buy jersey's in support of a cause when there is one specific person they can point to.

The kneeling was supposed to be about innocent African Americans that were murdered unjustly. Now it's about Trump.

Isn't that kind of like spitting on their grave?

Absolutely. This is no longer about Kaep's original plight. This is about protecting the shield that is the NFL.

and more generally, that plurality is the worst possible metric of support, because when numbers split 500 ways you can have 0.5% of the purchases and be the 'sales leader'

The only person that hijacked the message was Trump, and now the NFL has extra reasons to protest.

So, you're saying these people really don't care about the innocent lives that were lost?

It's a wonder anyone responds to you in a serious way. Go play in traffic.

what i find funny is people that believe him when the next day he says it was an accident and he did not mean to make his team look bad. he did not say that on sunday afterwards but did brag about being a vet, but did on monday after a very likely talk from his teams owner.

smells to me he got a scolding sunday night and the apology on monday seems a direct flip from what he said sunday to appease his bosses

He wasnt even on the field. His teammates were literally right behind him a couple yards away. He asked Ben if he thought itd be ok if he stepped away a couple steps to see the flag. The art of camera work is making it sound like he was the only one on the field out of everyone at the game.

But keep getting upset at peaceful protests. Its what the right is best at, especially when its African-Americans involved.

Also love that the right is starting to idolize a guy literally named Alejandro. Hilarious after all the talk about a wall.

So quick question about jerseys and their reproduction for sale.

Does Nike make available to purchase every single player's jersey? Or is it just certain ones?

I've always wondered that and assumed the latter, but since people are actually buying the jersey of an OL, I guess it's the former?
