The reason behind why they do it, Mr. Bone.
Clever.
What is the reason behind them doing it? Why are they taking a knee?

Are you for real? Seriously? You talk about it and don't support it without even knowing the why of it? That's pretty fucked up. It's about social injustice, it's about police brutality, but you're the man, right, so you wouldn't want to see that anyway.

Maybe people would understand a little better if they lay face down during the anthem. With chalk outlines.

Dammit.........the thread is getting screwed up now,,,,,,,,,,,thanks Sally.

I said the business has a right to tell its employees how to conduct themselves. I don't believe I've expressed an opinion whether I am for or against.
Also, freedom of speech protects you from the government. Private business can limit speech or expression all it wants. That's just the way it is. The players are at the mercy of the league and team owners.
And I know why Kapernick kneeled, but am a little unclear on the hundreds others who didn't start kneeling until after Trump said something. Seems more of an anti-trump kneel for a lot of them.

That was a show of unity, of support. It was said over & over again, before the games, during the games, after the games.

Unity for Kapernick? Unity for the couple of others who were kneeling?
Where was the unity all last season? Where was it this season before Trump spoke about it and made it a big deal? Why wasn't everyone kneeling en masse prior to that? If they were so unified behind the cause, where was the huge movement?
There wasn't one. It appeared to be a middle finger to the president for him calling them out on his perceived disrespect for the flag. That's all well and good, but the consumers of the NFL seem to be viewing it differently - ratings and attendance continue to decline as the protest continues.
So now it's damaging their business, and the league and the owners are telling them to knock it off. As usual, it's always about money. The league doesn't want to lose money, the owners sure don't want to lose money, so now if the players keep it up they will begin to lose money through fines or suspensions. Just like when they violate the uniform policy, or act out on the field. As employees, they can't do whatever the hell they want.
P Diddy is thinking about starting up a new league. Maybe that's the answer for them. Because I'm sure lots of people will tune in to see protests and other political statements during a football game. It's working so well now, right?

MS, in your opinion is Adrian Peterson as talented as he ever was?

I haven't seen any of his games this year with the Saints, but to turn a guy loose after 5 games is very telling in this league. Sean Payton knows how to dial in a run offensive scheme and he tossed Peterson onto the trade pile so there's something going on there.

AP is definitely not what he once was.
Last year he got hurt in week 2, but most educated fans could see he had lost his explosiveness and without the ability to get through a hole, we never could see if his top-end speed was still the same.
He came back in Week 14, I believe, against the Colts, and had nothing. He ended up fumbling on his longest carry that day and we got smoked.
He’ll end up in the HOF I believe, but he’ll get there without being a complete back.
He never could block and he was a below average receiving back.
Sean Payton knew after playing him in Week 1 that an offense featuring him now is completely predictable.
Run AP on 1st down, get stuffed, and now face 2nd and long.
He’ll be terrible in AZ too.

career. I'm also not sold that he'll make it into the HOF. The whole child abuse thing may throw a wrench into those gears.

I'm feeling anxious. So tense. Man. It's going to be a long day.
RE: NFL 2017 - Duchess - 10-12-2017
Fletcher is starting. Thank you! Thank you, football Gods!
RE: NFL 2017 - Duchess - 10-13-2017
Eagles win! Eagles win! 5-1, baybay!
*yawns*
I made the mistake of reading/listening to a bunch of analysts yesterday. I had no self control. They pretty much all picked the Panthers. So, to sports analysts everywhere
RE: NFL 2017 - Midwest Spy - 10-13-2017
Funny, right before game time last night, a buddy of mine that likes to wager came and asked me what I’d do if I were forced to bet.
He said it was Carolina -3.
I said that all the experts were taking Carolina so if I HAD to bet I would’ve taken Philly +3.
Nice win for the Eagles.
The NFC East is theirs for the taking now. NYG is dead, Dallas will be without Zeke for 6 weeks it appears, so that leaves the Skins and PHIL has already won in DC.
RE: NFL 2017 - Duchess - 10-13-2017
I didn't see anyone picking the Birds, it was Cam all the way. I sorta figured it could be a toss up but I have a shit ton of hope and all day long I thought why not us.
I will be a 'Niners fan on Sunday.
RE: NFL 2017 - Duchess - 10-13-2017
Broncos are picked 11.5 over the filthyNewYorkGiants. Holy shit.
