If there are one million gun owners and 3% of them are murders, do you still think we should be allowed to own guns?
Silly analogies get silly responses.

This would have long since died had it not been for the infusion of politics. Not by the players or the NFL, but by the liberal media and their politics of division.
I'll be d***** if I'll let the crazy left manipulate me into passing judgment on an entire organization and its employees such that I quit watching something I truly enjoy. Especially when it is based on the actions of such a very few.
I'm not suggesting others are. That is just my take and why I'll still be watching NFL games when I can. IMO, there is no politics involved unless I let it in.

I was caught up in this whole thing for awhile too. When President Trump cancelled the customary WH invite to the Eagles in reference to the kneeling, I was curious which players were kneeling because I don’t like them anyway. I was surprised when I found there were zero and that made me wonder about other teams. I was blown away at how few players actually kneeled.

Originally posted by ttechdallas View PostThat was after the President called the NFL players “sons of ______-es” for kneeling. Every NFL team did something to show solidarity with their players. The Cowboys entire team, including coaches and JJ kneeled before the anthem was played – not during. That weekend there were about 200 players who kneeled in some form to show support for their teammates.

Dude do you make this up in your head? You are wrong again.
President Trump cancelled the event because the owner of the Eagles was only sending like 10 players to represent the team. The POTUS said that is not fair for the fans going to the White House to support the Eagles. Also every Black Person on that team refused to go. So he cancelled. It was not over the players kneeling.

Sounds like black players didn’t want to visit the White House with a white President? Did white players do that when the Muslim was in the White House?
