Report: Some Cowboys planning protest tonight

[canters]

See what poltics does- we are all Cowboy fans, or we would not be here on this site. And we are name calling and treating each other like Eagles fans. Shape up and drop politics for one day!

If the Dallas Cowboys take part in this **** fest tonight, I will be done with them just like the rest of the league.

The irony is present considering your username

Roethlisberger did. He said he regrets doing what they did.

I guess I missed him out there. I stand corrected.

Actually, free speech only protects you from the government. Jerry would be well within his rights to cut any player as a consequence. Because Jerry is not the government. That why the "if you go to your job..." thing is nonsense. People have more outrage than they have intelligence.

Would that make Jerry right?....wouldn't that mean Freedom of My (Jerry's) Speech?

 

[pjtoadie]

Sure. They're supporting their colleagues against someone who called them SOBs and said they should be fired.

Yeah, I know why they did it lol. I was responding to Scopio that this all because of what Trump said.

Just out of curiosity, how many of you stand up at home when they play the anthem on TV? I have to admit, I don't, but I do at live games.

My only issue with all this is it's all one sided. They get their airtime, but when the boys wanted to salute the PD they were told no. I cannot stand the hypocrisy of it. The only one I have seen go out on a limb is Villanueva. NONE of his teammates supported him.

Great point. The Cowboys wanted to simply put a sticker on their helmet when those Police officers were murdered and the NFL said NO. They're nothing but hypocritical shitbags afraid of ticking off their advertising partners. Well, they've now pissed off the biggest portion of their fanbase. Good luck NFL.

They are infringing on my rights as an NFL fan.. not to have the every day BS of politics mixed with my entertainment. I watch the game because I enjoy it, it entertains me.. not to watch over paid, over entitled millionaires disrespecting the flag and the people that died to give them the opportunity to play a kids game for millions of dollars. Like I said, there are ways to protest, to show unity, but to kneel during the anthem to me is just disrespectful and if that happens, I will have to make a decision.. I haven't missed a Cowboy's game that was televised in 40 years.. tonight might be the first of many though.

Do like me. I'm listening on the radio tonight, because I don't have that rag of a sports news station Espn anymore. For basically all their rhetoric, including being politically charged, and bringing too much drama to sports. Then you might not have to see it. Google 105.3 fan out of Dallas.

So sorry that their peaceful protest is causing an inconvenience for you. Fans like you are the REAL victim here.

And if Rosa Parks wanted to protest inequality, she should've done it on her OWN TIME. NOT on a public bus!!

She held up traffic during rush hour like a total JERK!!!

Ok. Comparing millionaires who play a game with a hero of the civil rights movement. Got it.

Wow.

Maybe the players should stick to athletics and not strain their minimal-size brains too much.

The President didn't know what the 13 stripes stood for just a few years ago. He also said he'll build a wall and make Mexico pay for it. LOLLLL

 

[BourbonBalz]

So you did call me a racist (even though I haven't actually called anyone racist, much less "constantly"). Which means I understood you perfectly.

Dumb as a fence post.

We aren't allowed to. The players and media won't let us.

Roethlisberger did. He said he regrets doing what they did.

His white privilege got him off rape charges.

This board is devolving faster than a middle school cafeteria fight.

This reminds me of that SNL skit where the morning talk show teleprompter goes out and Will Ferrell eventually resorts to cannibalism.

Wow.

Look up a boxer named "Muhammad Ali" and learn about him. Highly recommended.

But yeah, rich people shouldn't seek any changes to a system that has benefitted them monetarily. LOL!

as was written above, no one was paying much attention to the issue, then Donnie opened his pie hole, called the players SOBs and boom, it is the talk of the town

Yes we can, yes we can yes we can.

I am surprised the thread has not been closed. Some of us are not playing well with others.

My thoughts exactly! Let players kneel during the Anthem but then also let other players support the police or 9/11 victims etc.

 

[Nav22]

No, it isn't. These are football players, most of which are dumber than a bag of hammers. They need to play football.

We're three hours from kickoff, and all we're discussing is this made-up issue that is based on complete lies and fabrications.

Which lies and fabrications?

And what is the required IQ level needed to peacefully protest? Were you given an IQ test before you voted?
