How one moron brought down a trillion dollar industry with his “pig” socks.

Buh-bye National Felons League. And hopefully buh-bye to the ultra-left wing espn.

Not even the narcissist billionaire “elites” can save the Felons League now.

I f’ing love these headlines:


Weak 12: Empty Seats Greatly Outnumber Fans As NFL Treats Shrinking Number of Spectators to Protests, Fights, and Bad Football
by Warner Todd Huston26 Nov 2017

More than a dozen NFL players went back to protesting against the country in the first NFL action since the Thanksgiving holiday. Not surprisingly, while the protests continued, fans continued to leave thousands of empty seats in stadiums across the league.

With players from at least ten teams once again speaking out against the U.S.A. in a variety of ways during the national anthem, photos of empty seats filled the Internet once again.

With the San Francisco 49ers playing at home and players once again mounting a protest during the anthem, fans stayed away in droves for the 49ers loss to the Seattle Seahawks:

Respect for the National Anthem is far more important than second rate entertainment - and that is what many professional sports teams are.

The idiots took a highly inappropriate time during the event to make thier statement and the folks are responding.

If you're not watching NFL these days you may not have noticed the Steelers helmets have a U.S. Flag and an army unit patch on the back (specifically 82nd ABN and 3rd ID). Anyone know why they are doing this? Maybe to counter the National Anthem protest and show their support for the flag and military?

Steelers to honor military units with helmet decals
ADAM BITTNER
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Novemeber 9, 2017

Alejandro Villanueva is putting a unique twist on his team’s observance of Veteran’s Day this weekend.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that the Steelers left tackle and former U.S. Army Ranger is spearheading an effort by the team to honor specific military units by wearing helmet decals during the game against the Colts Sunday in Indianapolis.

Too little too late

Too late to save their million dollar careers but I'm sure they will try anything to do just that.

They can take their fake military respect and shove it where the sun doesn't shine.

The National Felons League, the only place where you can find a university graduate with a third grade education.

Wholeheartedly agree TS - you beat me to it with too little too late.

And...many of these knuckleheads would still be in poverty without an education if it weren't for football

But hey Colin Kaepernick the extremely altruistic man he is....and his honest to god concern for racism and the black community....is destroying the only opportunity many of these poor kids will ever have at an education and wealth....the game is crumbling under his arrogant and rather idiotic misinformed opinion on racism....this is higher education in America but no worries he got his millions and fuck the opportunities he has taken from those he has professed to be standing for....I guess he didn't learn to think about those things
