You’re better off that way. It is not a very good game. I just don’t care very much about yardage.

I thought the Jets had nobody kneeling through the first five games of the season.

Yup. Simply put, political correctness killed football

They discuss this in the article. Their grief is against the NFL, not the Jets

The NFL has become atheistic Marxist revolutionaries. Certainly no place for and decent Americans to spend time and money. The US government needs to stop subsidizing enemies...that includes state and local as well as federal.

As do I.

And I believe they need encouragement.

Here is their web site

I just ordered a CD and sent the following to their site as a comment:

"I just placed an order for one of your CDs.

I am basically deaf and have to admit of the samples I listened to, I could not tell the difference between the music and cats fighting.

I have bought your CD as a token of appreciation for your stand regarding the invitation by the Jets football team.

You rejected their request - and told them why - and I salute you.

Thank you."

I listen to ESPN on the radio overnight, as it lulls me to sleep-—getting older means lots of fragmented sleep. UGH.

Today, at 3 AM, someone came on & was talking about how Muhammad Ali stood up for his views & refused to join the army & possibly fight.

I realized right away that this comparison is bogus...

CK & the other NFL players are EMPLOYEES. They get a paycheck from a team OWNER.

Ali was Self-Employed. IF he screwed up his earnings with his thoughts & attitudes, he was only hurting himself. also his agent & his promoter—but HE HIRED THEM...NOT the other way round.

Maybe CK should tell all of us how HE intends to buy a stadium—sell the tickets—do the promotion—hire other players—staff the coaching part of the operation & pay all the salaries & taxes involved & have anything left over for his capital investment.

He bought a $14 million house in San Fran. I sure hope he paid cash for it. MAYBE he can afford the taxes & upkeep without an NFL salary.

I say the NFL is showing itself to be comprised largely of Godless, racist, ignorant, unAmerican, SJW thugs.

Getting dirty rich for playing with a ball with other grown men.

Thanks for the ping! Good to know. My brother’s P&D group is just as offended by the NFL and all the unpatriotic crap that’s been happening so frequently.
