News: Why didn't TV networks show angry, booing NFL fans

[PA Cowboy Fan]

It was before the anthem. Then glorious silence during the anthem.

It shows it on the video. Look at the bottom caption.

But I believe if you shout or chant something pro American. It's alwaaaaays good. Let's say during a presidential speech, the president says something awesome and people break out chanting USA USA USA. That's a good thing. Or when you're studying in the library and people start chanting USA gets you ruled up, you wanna slam your books down and start chanting too.

Woooooh

Did the network actually show that last night? I didn't watch the game.

It’s a liberal Jew Soros conspiracy to keep the public from seeing the angry mobs in the crowd.

Personally I am bringing a confederate flag and a pitchfork to the stadium Sunday. I will be heard, I am Uber important. Heil trump

Damage Control. If the NFL goes down it will be in the billions for losses. NFL,TV stations,merchandise,endorsements,etc. This could be very ugly. I believe Roger Goodell had a meeting with the teams and basically said THIS NEEDS TO END or the NFL is finished. I think the players will all stand for the National Anthem with no protests and Colin Kaepernik will never play in the NFL again..

The "good past" was very recent. The party that blocked schools for minority kids and held firm on segregation were the Democrats. George Wallace, Democrat, stated during his inauguration: "Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever...." Many of these same people were also the local founders and members of the KKK. Strom Thurmund, who was Hillary Clinton's mentor, was an opponent of integration his whole life. Sen. Robert Byrd was a member of the KKK. How folks are so quick to point fingers at some of today's politicians who have denounced these groups yet are quick to forget their recent past is very telling.

Both parties used to have much more pronounced liberal and conservative wings. Less so now. And those folks and their ilk, the ones who supported the segregation type stuff, mostly switched parties in the years after Johnson's civil rights legislation. Just look at the voting demographics.

Completely ignorant statement.

Completely ignorant statement.

I'll 2nd that sentiment.

Relax man. Its not that serious. First I'd like to thank you for your service. I love members of our military and wish our country did more to thank them and support them once they come back. I disagree with the people in power and our non stop needs to have us in a state of perpetual war. I see a government that sends Americans in harms way for reasons I don't agree with...But that's a convo for another day.

Do I think the political right are a bunch of racist was the question... The answer isn't a simple yes or no. I don't think everyone who is a republican is a racist. That would be narrow minded of me. I believe many republicans are good people. The problem is our system of government is an all or nothing game. Take the evangelicals as an example. The traditionally side with the republican party due to their feelings about abortions and gay marriage. So they are using a social hot button topic to determine who they are voting for and the reality is the actual politicians in the party will and can't do much about these 2 issues. What they can change is economics. So now you have a religious person who voted in a party that is do nothing for the religious agenda yet is doing plenty to work against the economic beliefs of many Christians. For example tax cuts for the rich in a country with such economic inequality. The Pope has spoken out about these things. Or taking healthcare away from millions of people isn't a very Christian like thing to do... Also senior citizen are voting for a party that is actively working to cut Social Security benefits and is responsible for gutting Medicare from 100% to 80%.
So the point is most people who vote republican do not actually agree with the parts of the republican party that can be changed. They use social hot buttons to win votes they don't deserve and then work against the majority of the people that voted for them.

Our government is flawed in that it has a somewhat redundant Senate and Congress when we would be better served if 1 branch of the government voted only for Social or Non economic issues and the other branch could only vote for economic policies. As it is now you have decent people on both sides electing representatives who are not truly representing the will of the people. They muck it up with stuff they cant change and force people to pick sides. Its a fatal flaw and allows us to be manipulated.

So back to racism... I do believe a person who is racist will almost always vote with the political right...however, I do not believe voting for the political right makes someone a racist.
Btw...the Dems do the same thing just on the other side.

The reality is that public support has ZERO impact on policy. ZERO. What we want doesn't matter until we happen to want what the Donor class wants. Money has corrupted our government beyond belief.

Thanks again for your service.

Interesting comments.

I worked with a gay guy that always voted Democrat but disagreed with them on almost everything except gay rights. He even despised the some of the people he voted for.

Some things I wish could be removed from politicians control. It's stupid to vote based on abortion because it's not going to change.

Strom Thurmond and Robert Byrd never switched parties. George Wallace never switched parties. Can you tell me who you are referring to?

Sure. The voters....

Oh, and Wallace did run as an independent as well for a bit.

There isn’t a liberal media goofball.
There is only a corporate media. The media is a part of the establishment.
We only have 2 corporate parties left in this country. 1 is ok with minorities, gays, abortion and the other isn’t.
Other than that they agree on everything.

Ah, rather simplistic view I see

I would say that one side is ok with minorities as long as they are here legally, abortion is ok as long as taxpayers aren't forced to finance it, and as far as gays many of them are conservative both socially and fiscally. Gay bashing went out in the 80's. C'mon at least be a little more creative in stereotyping

 

[JoeKing]

It's simple to figure out why TV networks don't show angry booing fans and empty seats... they don't want to show how the counter protest is effecting attendance at the games. But the truth is getting out... the counter protest is winning.

Nice attempt at spin.. yea it’s not the abortion republicans are worried about...it’s the paying for it...no one is buying that at all. When you can’t change abortion rights you try to change it by attacking funding.
Sure there may be a few gay Republicans but as soon as some redneck has to bake them a cake for their wedding here comes the outrage. So you are ok with them as long as they don’t demands equal rights.
The point about minorities will have to be answered later. I’ve got to run.

But it sounds like we generally agree...and since you are making the proclamation that the Republicans are now ok with all the same people the democrats are ok with I guess there really isn’t any differences left.

Abortion disproportionately affects minorities so if you are for ridding the country of minorities I guess this is just your bag. As far as wedding cakes go Michelle Obama has lectured the country on the evils of sweet and fatty foods so your gonna have to take that up with her fat azz

That’s a good spin on abortion rights and amazing deflection on the gay cakes thing

A silly rant about Christians places you firmly in the bigot column. Your thought process it lacking. You list a bunch of issues with government and then demand more government. Sigh...

Please point out in the Bible where it states the government is responsible redistribution of food or medical care.

Fyi, we are the most charitable nation on earth. Last year we spent a trillion dollars on welfare programs at the state and federal levels.

The entire reason planned parenthood was created was to abort minorities out of existence.

Your comprehension is what’s lacking..
Where did I say I want more government?
I want a better government. Spending a trillion each year in wars of aggression killing people and then when people ask for money to cure people suddenly we can’t afford it.

Good luck squaring that with God.

We’ve spend 3 trillion in Afghanistan killing people (and getting killed) over a war most people forgot we were in. Meanwhile since we invaded Afghanistan it’s estimated that 765,000 Americans have died from lack of healthcare. Justify that one.

We have unlimited money to kill people then we have money to help people.
Not more government. Better government.

Why did those alleged 765,000 not have healthcare? Why did you not help them? Or were you waiting for others to do it for you?

Let's be clear, I'm not talking about you personally, but relying on a dysfunctional corrupt government is not the long term answer. Utopian ideas are fun and sound great, but you must deal with reality. Utopian slogans have destroyed Venezuela. They can destroy any functioning democracy or representative republic.
