can a class-action lawsuit against the organized “defund the police” effort be brought by crime victims?

we probably agree ... but the folks at the top are also very, very woke and the entire organization has hired like-minded people from the top down. Joe Lockhart worked for them for a few years. This is not the NFL we grew up with.

they want to avoid the locker room wars at all costs. most players would rather have the steady money but it only takes one bad apple to set it off. just look what kapernick set off.

They also launder money to the 'rats this way. They kill many birds with one stone. The people calling these shots are almost 100% lawyers BTW.

“If you watch the NFL you’re either an idiot or anti American or both.”

There are many here that still watch NFL. I see posts about the games every now and then here.

I do not watch NFL or college games.

I quit watching the NFL when it became a socialist mouthpiece for Red China.

My Sundays are now spent outdoors, in nature, and my life is so enhanced by that.

No different than the annual corporate “donations” to Jesse Jackson and the Rainbow-Push Traveling Road Show.

I support the “defund the police” movement, as long as it's in the big Dem run cities with very high murder rates like New York, Chicago, Baltimore, Atlanta etc etc.
One can't complain when the enemy is busy killing themselves.

Spot-on analysis; so true, and I know a couple of them, too.

I’m surprised there isn’t much if any, CTE reported in that sport. Rugby or soccer; I don’t know which...

Those blue cities shouldn’t have any police. They should be walled-off like “Escape From New York” and left to their own demise.

Are you talking about curling where they slide rocks, or hurling where they swing clubs?

Rugby/soccer vs football.

When you said,

“I’m surprised there isn’t much if any, CTE reported in that sport”

I thought you were referring to the post about curling....Sorry

They sure do... I would rather watch that if “hits” is why one should watch football. And to replace NASCAR I moved to this class of racing. Pretty cool that boats need “roll bars” because when they wreck they actually wreck on land and not water. lol :)
