Pffft...people who never watched an NFL game in the first place signing a petition. Assuming those are real names—it’s not like fake names and voting is new.
Michael Sam is not playing because he was an undersized slow DE and not good enough to play in the NFL - not because he was gay.
Tim Tebow is now an announcer and Minor League Baseball player - not because of his Christianity but because his skill set, while impressive, did not fit the NFL playing style and his release time was too slow.
16 of those 130K know it’s American football in the discussion. 4 of those 16 actually attending a game once in their life but it was because daddy dragged them to it because he was afraid those 4 where leaning toward the wrong side of the street.
The league and owners should have taken a strong stand right from the first week of this b.s. last year. They have every right to require that players in uniform stand and respect the flag and anthem. They should have said immediately, “it is not a question of your private personal views, when you are paid and in uniform you will follow your employer’s standards.” There is no “right” to use your employer’s uniform, resources, facilities, tv contract, etc. to stage your own protest.
NFL should have adopted NBA rule.
There were 65 million Hillary voters!!! lol
They will bend just like North Carolina did, they have the media on their side. This is what happens when a business picks sides and jumps into politics.
LOL. Yeah even if I was on this guy side, which would mean I went insane, I wouldn’t sign this petition if I was a football fan.
This was the beginning of the end for this fool.

Oh, well that changes everything.
‘if things stay the same for the way America — where ‘all men are created equal’ — treats people of color’
since 70% of those playing football are multi millionaire people of color, and the topic is in fact football, kinda hard to make the claim they’re being treated in any way other than like a king...
How much you wanna bet Kaepernick’s agent put this up there?
Who says and what law demands someone who’s not up to the game to be hired? Who are they that they can force a group to hire anyone?
If, (a snow balls chance in hell) I were a football fan, I would boycott any and every game that loser ever played in. I expect to see the “Black Lies Matter” crowd protesting FOR HIM, if they haven’t already done so.
This fool is a crappy quarterback , a disgruntled half-black raise by a prosperous white family after being abandoned by his black & white parents. The loser has many, many issues . To top it off he is a disgruntled citizen who disrespect our country. What a mess.
In addition to the National Anthem disrespect, Kaepernick is not a very good player. Two very good reasons why he has not been hired by another team. Having said that, I will paraphrase a quote from “North Dallas Forty”. “Does he speak Canadian?”
I have one word for the NFL: Hoist!
Bwah hah hah hah hah!
Just what are you insinuating about Cowboy fans?
s
If the NFL doesn’t learn from their mistakes last season and cave to these thugs so be it, continue to fail and lose fans and viewers.
