Cowboy Up, Jenkins.
Women’s pro beach volleyball.
Poor little fragile snowflake.
I can remember when football was a mans game.
Wonder how many Cowboys players feel the same?
Sounds like a melting snowflake reaction.
Too little, too late. nfl’s endorsement of these senseless, attention seeking protesters is like encouraging an incurable plague.
75 Steelers.
They’ve lost me. Used to spend literally thousands a year to watch the NFL. Last year I got rid of it all. No Packer game. No NFL Sunday Ticket. No Sirius radio. No NFL Game Pass. Collateral damage to Directv, hotels, airlines, restaurants, bars.
IF they shut up and play the game, and don’t protest on the field I might watch a few games.
But it will never be the same. I’ve come to recognize they hate me and pretty much everything I believe in. The feeling is pretty much mutual at this point.
Malcolm is an ingrate.
It's Jones business!
At which other job does the employee have "free speech" on COMPANY time?!?!?!?
And I’ll bet McDonalds requires their employees to treat the customers nicely or get fired.
I’m pretty sure Jerry Jones signs the paychecks.
Malcolm, how much time have YOU spent in the military defending the country that has graciously allowed you to make money playing a game???
What have you done to forward the growth and protection of our great country???
What have you done that was NOT solely for the benefit of Malcolm Jenkins???
The United States has become a place where entertainers and professional athletes like Malcolm Jenkins are mistaken for people of importance.
QUOTES by ROBERT A. HEINLEIN
Robert A. Heinlein Quotes and Sayings!:
“[T]here seems to have been an actual decline in rational thinking. The United States had become a place where entertainers and professional athletes were mistaken for people of importance. They were idolized and treated as leaders; their opinions were sought on everything and they took themselves just as seriously-after all, if an athlete is paid a million or more a year, he knows he is important ... so his opinions of foreign affairs and domestic policies must be important, too, even though he proves himself to be ignorant and sub-literate every time he/she opens his/her mouth.”
— Robert A. Heinlein
“If the Great Chicago Fire happened tomorrow, Mrs O’Leary’s cow would be in the clear because the jabbering rabble would blame it on Trump.”

Oh my goodness.
We’re getting closer to another NFL season. The exhibition games start in a couple of weeks. And it will be a new season of controversy over the national anthem.
And if attendance and TV ratings are down again??
Some excuses used last year for declining attendance and TV ratings:
1. The sunny side of the 49ers stadium gets so hot, nobody wants to sit there.
2. Overall attendance averages were held down as the Chargers play in a 27,000 seat soccer stadium, which distorts year to year attendance numbers.
3. Late in the season, people were out Christmas shopping instead of going to games or watching games.
4. So many people were traveling around Thanksgiving, that fewer were attending games or watching on TV.
5. Late in the season, so many teams were out of playoff contention, that people lost interest.
6. Bad weather in many cities held down attendance.
I’m sure there were others, but point is, they came up with anything besides people being upset about the anthem protests, to explain declining interest in the NFL.
Play ball, see how it goes this year.
And that's what these yahoos seem to forget.
I work for city government ... I have to watch what I say 24/7.
He probably could not even grasp the irony in the
“...players thinking individually...”
phrase in his sound byte.
Go break up a pass, Mr. Jenkins. I have others in my life, people that have actual intelligence, to educate me. The only dammed thing I want or expect from you is to entertain me for 48 hours a year.
Poor baby.
