Not many BLM types are into hockey like they are football and basketball.

True, but they go where Soros and company tell them to go.

I quit watching sports years ago and things like this do not make me want to go back to it. BTW I plays football all through high school as well as other sports.

Agreed, I too was an athlete but lacked the discipline and maybe the talent to get wealthy from it maybe I should protest because the "man" is keeping me down....

A company like the NFL needs to put their foot down and squash this.

If I'm an owner and made a multi million dollar contract to an athlete and he jeopardizes my profit by bringing race politics onto the job he's gone, benched, suspended etc...

The billionaire boys club don't give a damn about what's right, moral or American - only in what it takes to continue raking in the bucks. If their employees want to make public protests while working, fine with the owners as long as the employees show up and do their job. Well, as long as the protests don't run afoul of whatever the commandant of the NFL says that day is league policy about a particular subject.

Yeah unfortunately true the Denver Bronco's Marshall was scheduled for a signing here in the Springs but the owner of the store cancelled the event because of negative public feedback.

One thing to say...

I wondered how long it would take for activist legislators to join in the stupidity:

If those of the civilian authority no longer wish to show respect to the flag, can those who defend it choose to decline paying respect to said civilian authority? I'm not talking about flipping them the bird, a throat punch or swift kick to the nether region. Perhaps just blowing them off and giving them one's back or decline to shake their hands.

Petty, disrespectful and against regs, I know. But frankly, I believe these supposed "leaders" should have to earn the respect of the military and not simply have it given to them.

Here is her "platform".

• The injustice of police brutality — the refusal to mandate police body cameras;

• The injustice of poverty — the underfunding of our public schools;

• The injustice of voter suppression — passing Voter ID laws;

• The injustice of not having health care — not expanding Medicaid;

• The injustice of unlivable wages — refusing to raise minimum wage and the right-to-work attack on labor;

• The injustice of unequal pay for women;

• The injustice of mass incarceration; and

• The injustice of economic disparity.

Notice how every single item falls under her power to change. This mooslem is standing in solidarity with kimpernickel (both powerful, influencial and quite wealthy I might add) over shit that she and her peers have created. She must need some more twitter followers.

Nasheed was taken into police custody on October 20, 2014, in front of the Ferguson, Missouri police station. News reports indicated she was in possession of a firearm at the time of her arrest.[10] She was criticized for possessing a weapon after having sponsored anti-gun legislation.[11] Nasheed did possess a valid conceal and carry permit at the time she was taken into custody.[citation needed]
Another protester said Nasheed refused to get off the street even after police gave instructions to the protesters to do so. After police smelled alcohol, they prompted her to take a breathalyzer, which she refused to do.[12]
Nasheed went on record publicly saying "Sometimes you have to break the law"[13]

Seems to be an exemplary member of American society who pulled herself up by her bootstraps and became a successfull business owner.

But there was a change. Not in the scenery or what she was subjected to, but in Jamilah herself. The turning point of her life, she says, was in finding Islam, and reading.

Jamilah began attending a mosque on Grand Boulevard during what would have been her high school years, and ended up studying the religion for two years before eventually converting.

“It had become a way of life for me,” she said.

Reading was another major part of Jamilah’s life as she slowly transitioned out of the gang life. She spent every day in a bookstore on the Delmar Loop called “Progressive Emporium.” In fact, she spent so much time reading that her Islam brothers encouraged her to open a bookstore, which she did.

Elected Democrats in St. Louis are some of the stupidest in the country.

I lived there for 20 years, I could never figure out exactly how stupid the people are who continued to stupidly vote in these stupid Democrats who did nothing to improve the people's lives who voted for them. Stupid is as stupid does.

#1 in the Woodrow Wilson school photo impresses the hell of of me! Peer pressure? Who me?

Veterans attending these games need to stand and render the hand salute during the national anthem. There are more of us there than they realize.

And afterwards they can stand and render the one-finger salute to any of these boys who are feeling oppressed while getting paid millions to play games - if enough people join the momvent then they will give the television stations an extra hurdle to jump when televising games and trying to pan across the crowd.

What the NFL needs is for people to stop going to their games. They do this kind of stuff because they know people will keep watching anyway.
