Actually it's about a man having a different opinion then the masses. "Trying to run the NFL"? Really? I must have missed the part where he told the owners to fire them. He said he would like to see that but never told them they had to. So you are wrong.
It's a man making dictator'esque statements.
And most Americans aren't going to be cool with that sh**.
You know what really brings awareness? Facts. Data. Change from the top.
Only an idiot would think waving your fist at racists does anything but prove them right in their own mind and create more racists.
Uhhh, you know what brings awareness? The fact that the entire country is having this conversation today.
The players made their point, overwhelmingly.
"waving your fist"... I love the spin you put on these things. So... kneeling is now "waving your fist"?
Facts: cops are killing black men at an alarming rate without being punished.
But... you choose your world, I suppose. I already see how you're playing this.
I hate social injustice as much as anyone. So what should I do? I want to make a real CHANGE and not just a real SEEN. What can I do?
I'm out of this one.
Too many FN viewers- and destined for taboo where the nationalists will take over.
Going to go argue about Marcus Mariota instead. Have fun, guys.

Converse.
Which is what this sparks. The conversations about what's happening. And that's how we become better.
but for real for real for real... outta hurr.
Nothing worse than "Go out there and get CTE for my entertainment and don't you say a word, boy!" fans like OP.
I stand with our players and the first amendment. If you expected the players to let some senile billionaire call their mothers a b**ch and just take it, you thought wrong. They have a backbone unlike Ted Cruz.

Totally agree. I've not seen one NFL player say they were protesting our military or any of the other things people are falsely accusing them of protesting against.
Hit the nail on the head
Post the statistics.
That's the thing that cracks me up. We are on the same page. We want the same thing.
But problem solving has three required steps.
Identify the problem. What is the problem? How do we know it's a problem?
Question the situation. Why is there a problem?
Solve. How do we fix the problem?
You are skipping the first two steps!
And it starts with step one. If there are no laws that we find that are racist. And there are no policies implicit or explicit that are racist. Then we can not move on until we sort that out.
You can't tell me what you specifically want to change, because you skipped the step of finding a quantiable problem.
Edit:
It's root cause analysis. If black people getting shot is the problem. Find the causes until you end up with a quantiable solution. "Because racism" is not the root cause because it is by definition not quantifiable
People can't keep their emotions in check enough to discuss racism.
If you think America wasn't aware before CK, then you weren't paying attention.

Yes let's look at some actual facts and data and then you will see what the biggest problem is.
In the first six months of the year, 32% of all police killings on unarmed suspects were against black males.
Black males account for only about 6% of the population.
Black males account for only about 6% of the population.
What percentage of criminal do they represent?
