The more you know...

When did this occur?

I think in the 1950s. The Finnish company is called Karhu (bear).

These guys just keep repeating themselves. Same old fence straddling, PC drivel. The players don't have a cause and the owners, along with Goodell, have no spine. No matter how loud the response is from the fans against this garbage, the league just keeps thinking they can smooth talk their way back into the good graces of the people they've insulted and pushed away.

Not
For
Long

Comedy gold in here from the usual suspects. All of you are still watching and following.

I'll keep watching, all the while ignoring these stupid ass cry babies who have the money and influence to affect real and immediate change, but instead decide to cause more division. I'll keep watching while I can, because these dipsh*ts are going to eventually bring about the ruin of a sport I have loved since I was a kid, and I'm gonna miss it when it's gone.

As for you, here is your participation trophy and some Kleenex. You can go back to your safe space now.

Ah, the ever original participation trophy (why that's used is unclear) and safe space rhetoric. Why would I need a safe space? You guys are the one's whining and crying. That would apply to you. At least I practice what I preach, while you guys are straddling the fence. You're just fooling yourselves.

What is it that you preach?

I'm certainly not whining nor am I crying. I love football. I love the New Orleans Saints. I loathe the NFL - very clear separation for me. I have no respect for Kaepernick. I am fully prepared to elaborate as to the 'why', if you are interested.

What's ironic here is that Kaepernick just signed a contract with a corporation that represents everything he would have us believe he is against. He is a real idiot but, because the left has money to spend, NIKE has decided to market an angle that fits their marketing.

So, what is it that you preach (and practice)?

I'm not preaching anything. I don't feel the need to get on my soapbox and push my agenda. Not sure what you're comment about him signing with a corporation that represents everything he's against means. He's an athlete. That's what they do. Now, he's the coverboy for a huge corporation that's helping continue his mission. Seems pretty smart to me. I also love seeing all you "patriots" get butthurt and salty over this. Yet, you will continue to watch the NFL. Very comical.
