I issued a challenge/friendly discussion to a number of NFL players (past and present, including ones who I have interviewed in the past and know personally) and media personnel regarding the 'real' reason why the players are protesting during the National Anthem, wither by taking a knee, staying in the locker room or holding up a Black Power/Black Panther fist.
Each one of the names that Randy Moss displayed on his HOF induction ceremony tie are broken down objectively with details and personal experience opinion-type statements that I feel I have earned with my background.
Here's the link and I'd love some feedback from both sides of the 'argument.'

Might have an easier time getting these guys to interview after the season. It’s pre-season, then the season starts. Even with the most of the retired NFL players, they’re still involved in the league

Hang in there Joe, things will pick up for you soon.

No one cares.

What do you think the "real" reason is? Perhaps most blacks place ethnic/tribal loyalty over civic nationalism or Americanism? If that's upsetting, you'd be better off not following a sport that is dominated by blacks.
It would be like supporting something that is dominated by Muslims and then getting annoyed when those involved start showing solidarity with Islamic grievances.

Most rational people agree that kneeling for the anthem is disrespectful to the flag and country and veterans....period....

One of the rare occasions when I agree with this individual. It’s the NFL’s problem. Why should I give a fuck?

Yup, its only become a laughable charade/mockery of its former self. The old tough players must be disgusted.
Just like many modern day skinny jean wearing "men" , even the "tough" athletes (many) are pussy prima donna's.

Thanks, Joe! Interesting post.
Although I strongly believe that individuals should be allowed to do shit such as this if it does not harm any other individual, I honestly hate to see them doing it.
In my humble opinion ... everyone has the right to be an asshole.
But most would call me the asshole for thinking that way.

I intend to continue to reach out down the road, as well. Good point and TY.

Joe, Do you maintain a list of the kneelers and the no shows within the NFL and do you expect this to spread to other sporting events?

I challenge them to stuff their heads up their own asses, suffocate, and then die.

What comes out of their assholes is technically higher on the IQ scale than what comes out their mouths, though.

Joe, nobody has the right to question the motives of individuals exercising their 1st Amendment rights whether its NFL players, Alex Jones spouting conspiracy theories, Richard Spencer talking about white supremacy, etc. You have a right to disagree with it but it is what it is.

The right to free speech covers questioning someone's motives. Americans question each other's motives all day every day.

If you yell fire in the movie theater, do you think there's a chance you might be charged with disorderly conduct? What about your right to free speech?
How about using foul language in front of 3rd graders?

Your first amendment right doesn’t, not including certain conditions,protect your right to protest in a private sector job. Where it gets tricky is that nfl owners try to monitor off the field activities by putting causes in their contacts.
I don’t have a problem with nfl protesting, but if the owner puts policy is place players and staff should follow that.

These NFL morons and the entire BLM thing started off of mainly two-three bogus cases - the biggest being that fat POS thug Michael Brown and the whole "Hand Up Don't Shoot Lie"
The other was Zimm v. Trayvon and finally Eric Garner - who while should not have died - should also not have been there breaking the law and screwing over the legal store owner.
The entire protest is a complete sham.

I just saw this on ESPN. Skip and Shannon were debating whether Musclesportmag had 7 subscribers or 8. It was a cool debate.

The movie theater argument and the NFL situation are very similar. It’s not a free speech issue but a property rights one. By yelling fire in a movie theater you’re violating the terms of agreement by not allowing the other people in the theater to enjoy the movie and putting them at risk.
The NFL players are allowed to kneel during the national anthem but not when they’re on the clock on somebody else’s dime unless the owner allows it.

Not sure what triggered this asinine response, but again, this is getbig

You will never see anyone taking a knee in the NHL. Or swimming.

There was a website that kept a running count of the kneelers last season. If I can find the link, I'll post it here. And for the no-shows, there's a great Twiiter account called Empty Seats Galore that shows photos of stadiums/arenas all throughout sports but had a lot of NFL content in 2017. https://twitter.com/EmptySeatsPics
There was one fuck stick on the Oakland A's last season that took a knee, a young player who was arrested during the offseason (shocking!). And I believe maybe one or two black hockey players who held up a Black Panther/Black Power fist during the National Anthem.
The NBA has a rule where the players have to stand appropriately for the anthem. Chris Jackson (or whatever his changed Muslim name was) made headlines a number of years back by doing a silent protest and he was penalized for it.
And the now-retired Carlos Delgado used to stay in the dugout during the playing of the anthem & God Bless America (following 9/11) as a form of protest against not only the USA being involved in the wars in the Middle East, but also his native Puerto Rico being the location of the US Navy as a weapons testing ground.
