Bunch of millionaires playing a game protesting how oppressed they are because of their skin color.
Yeah that makes sense. I honestly think fantasy football is the only reason we haven’t seen a massive decline in viewership already (instead of the slow decline we are seeing )

Granted, my team still sucks (as usual), but watching a bunch of overpaid athletes complain about how they feel the oppression makes me want to oppress spending my money attending their events, much less buying anything they advertise. Perhaps others have felt the same and thus part of the reason stadiums are becoming more and more empty.

Could easily say grow up to the President as well. Sniping back and forth between the two just makes everyone look bad.

The president is a political position. Football is a bunch of dudes with CTE who beat their wives throwing a ball around a patch of grass.

I mean fine, but everyone already know he's a child on twitter. Responding to him like this is sinking to his level.

The President is the same guy saying grab women by the pussy. Trying to give him some sort of moral standing above NFL players (and lumping every single player into wife beater category is completely idiotic) is hilarious. People have every right to express their views about it, not watch the product, or the owners/coaches can choose to fire/sit guys as they see fit. Everyone else telling each player what they actually mean when they kneel is simply incorrect, though.

I’m not telling players what they mean when they kneel, im asking them. Why are you kneeling, what exactly are you protesting, and what are your goals?
Anyways, at least we can all laugh at the ravens this week

I mean that's my question too. This is a protest that has no end goal. What exactly will be accomplished here? Letting Donald know he got to them? Grats.

As far as I know, the only guy claiming personal oppression was Bennett in Seattle for that incident after McGregor/Mayweather fight. Kaep's original protest was for treatment/oppression of minorities and people of color in the country (as far as I know). More people, more viewpoints now though, I'm sure.
I think Ravens coaching staff didn't think the travel would affect them as much as it did.
