At first, it was just a note referred to in the statistics. “This player was scratched on the start-up for a mild concussive injury,” etc. Then, as time went on, some sociology professor or social worker somewhere noted that there hadn’t been an uptick recently in victimhood status. They searched around and noticed, “Hey, there are a ton of concussion injuries in football!” And like magic, a controversy was born.
NPR went crazy will whole segments on how “little Johnny thought that he’d be the neighborhood hero by being a quarterback on the local midget football team” (of course they wouldn’t use “midget” to describe football, but you get the picture). Dramatic music is queued: “But then one day, his parents got the call from the coach. ‘Your son has…a concussion!'” Gasp! Dramatic music increases.
And so the beat went on for months, then years. It still continues, just to a subdued degree because of the “taking of the knee” story, but nevertheless, if this protest stuff ever goes away, it will resurface bigger than ever. After the concussion story stopped gaining traction (and it did, too, as thousands of children were pulled by their parents from the sport. Then there were the schools themselves pulling funding for the entire football programs!
As the Left applauded a job well done toward the destruction of an American success story, they moved on to the next way to exploit its weaknesses. That was the denigrating name controversy. Remember that?
Turn to the following page to read about how the SJWs decided that names like the “Redskins” were racist and set out to find those who agreed!
Kneel yourself right out of a job
No!
I think greatly reducing their contracts will help, that will happen anyway in the long run without sponsors and spectators.
The protest is supposed to be about police abuse blm. It caused the local leos to buy body cameras. Body cameras are now proving the thug/criminal behavior NOT the police abuse. Now blm says the cameras they demanded are violating the thug right to privacy. BLECK! We know the enemy by their ACTIONS not their LABELS!
The enemy comes to steal kill and destroy I came that you may have life and have it more abundantly!(John 10:10) May God GUIDE GUARD AND PROTECT the U.S. and its allies from every evil both foreign and domestic! Praise the Lord Jesus Christ!
Who cares, I won’t be watching the NFL.
Won’t change my mind. I am so done!
Money don’t have anything to do with being a patriot,STAND UP FOR GOD AND COUNTRY

People only watch to see who will blow up next
The point they are messing is that the people that are boycotting the nfl will not be coming back! You dont seem to understand that thier is nothing you can do that will bring up back!!! Stopping the kneeling now cant un do what you have done!!!
