I usually don't even comment on things like this on this site anymore, but I'm not at all surprised by your stance.

So let's see if Rodger is "smart" enough to punish them.
I do have a nasty tendency to view facts and I refuse to blame the innocent because of some misplaced racist hatred toward certain skin colors. But that's just me.

The NFL has already said they won't do anything.

Yeah, I'm sure you're well versed on the "facts".

I'm proud of the NFL for this "dumb" decision

"The true story came out from the grand jury testimony," Barkley said, adding that he was made aware of "key forensic evidence, and several black witnesses that supported Officer Darren Wilson’s story..." He continued, "I can’t believe anything I hear on television anymore. And, that’s why I don’t like talking about race issues with the media anymore, because they (the media) love this stuff, and lead people to jump to conclusions. The media shouldn’t do that. They never do that when black people kill each other. "

Well, if you can't wrap your head around a grand jury investigation and eyewitness testimony, maybe it's better you don't, .

Re: St. Louis police group calls on NFL to punish Rams for Ferguson Gestures

Listen I'm black and I'm a Sheriff Deputy. This issue with Mike Brown unfortunately turned into a stupid race issue. I can tell you this when George Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin, I wanted Zimmerman to be charged with manslaughter and put under the jail. Trayvon was judge by the color of his skin and stereotypes. Unfortunately it didn't go the way I wanted, but I got past it. With this Mike Brown crap is all nonsense. This gentle giant the media has portrayed him as commited robbery and when he was confronted he attacked a officer. Mike Brown was not judge by his skin tone, but the content of his character. Unfortunately he lost his life over his decision that day. I'm just tired of seeing the black community up in arms fighting tooth and nails over a criminal, but won't lift a finger to help black on black crime. I been to 6 murders in 3 months all over gangs. Youngest victim was 16. Haven't seen a protest yet.

Amen.

It's amazing who gets martyred and who's ignored...

I watch these babies, BABIES, two years and under shot in drive by shootings while these punks are out proving their manhood...

And the media publishes pictures of thugs when they were fifteen years old and are now eighteen year olds, full grown men; stirring up BS for ratings...

People need to wise up and learn we're all being played by the Beltway Politicians and the Media Mogul Sycophants for their own collective profit and gain, not for the betterment of a good, just society where men respect themselves and one another equally...

Amen, Brother. What's happening in Chitown evidently is not newsworthy either.

Outstanding.

These 5 ***stix promoted a lie that somehow a giant thug is some kind of martyr, and that rioters and looters are entitled, not to mention planted a seed of doubt in every law officer, who must make a decision in seconds, which only makes YOUR job more dangerous. The NFL is complicit in this ignorant indictment of police officers, no matter your race, by not managing this situation.

For those who cry, "free speech," do we have to educate you again, bless your heart? Yes, you may say anything you like and not be imprisoned. The NFL, however is not a government. It is a business. It has the right to tell you what you can and cannot say, if you want a paycheck. So, sure, go and shout in the street that the grand jury has a big grand master plan, and is out to get you just because youre this color or that color, which is ridiculous. But dont expect your employer to pay you no matter what you do.

We all can say anything or do anything at our job. one time.
This is not helping promote harmony, much less advance "civil rights."
