So during my hiatus there was a settlement between the parties.

I saw the feeble minded and dishonest pounding their chest znd claiming victory!

lol lol lol lol

Apparently people settle because they are guilty.

Not because as i held, prevent damage to your product!

Funny thing is, ask these people if they have ever given up anything for any cause... or if they would give up their careers, freedom, or even a hobby for anything much less their livelihood.

They would not....but it's racist that the NFL owners refuse to destroy their business for a man in search for notoriety!

1 -What does that mean –
2 - how did you arrive at determining that meaning

When minorities feel agrieved by some insensitive remark by someone in the news and feel their employer is unwilling to hear them what do they do?

They go after the sponsors!

Then the employer relents and puts the squeze on the anchor to back off!

You all are all in favor of that.

But if the anchor continues and starts costing the employer money, then what?

But somehow when people you all hate put the same squeeze on, you want retribution!

Hypocrites!

The NBA who is regarded as a Black League took the right of players to protest away.

Npt a peep.

The NFL did not take the right away from it's players, still has'nt.

Instead when this became Political they asked that the narrative change and openned up a dialogue on how to broach the situation.

But simple minded dopes like Kapernick seeing what he could get from it, selfishly decided his war was with the hand that fed him!

But here are the racist here who only care about color of skin in choosing right and wrong!

If he was so interested in fighting to expose racism, why did he settle?

Did Martin Luther King take money to shut up about Civil Rights?

Or did he s put others at risk while stirring up the masses?

If the above did not clarify....consider this....

Kapernick did not kneel to protest the NFL!

The NFL did not attempt to shut down Kapernick kneeling. Initially.

Once this man`s decision became so political and divisive, it started affecting the NFL's business and false narratives were prevalent while the truth got lost.

It was time to abandon the initial actions...everyone was in agreement.

But this guy, drunk on the attention, decided to go scorched Earth!

HE decided to terminate his contract!

Teams decided the guy was not worth the headache! Did they collude. I dont know if one team may have spoken to another, but would it be because of Race? Or because he was boneheadedly sticking to a losing proposition and wanting to force teams to abandon their fan base in favor of his ideology!

What? How can you force an employer to bear the brunt of your cause?
