Since NFL officals implemented rules penalising athletes or teams who kneel during the National Anthem, it seems like: 1. While 70 percent of the athletes (slaves, laborers) are Black 2. Black Athletes are not allowed to peacefully voice (speak) social issues negatively impacting African Americans 3. While NFL owners remain comprised of Wealthy White individuals (masters) Historically, during the Slavery Era in the US, an slave speaking when not given permission by a slave master often meant violent punishment if not death on plantations. Is the NFL repeating a terrible part from America's past? What do you think?

Best answer: The NFL is now going to punish "employees" (players) for exercising their First Amendment rights?

I am not a fan of professional sports. I don't understand why grown men get paid millions to play a schoolyard game for a few months out of the year. However, I think OT is absolutely ridiculous that the men cannot exercise (pun intended) their First Amendment rights without negative repercussions. Ridiculous.

Best answer: If he balled out and won us the game I'd be happy. If he sucked and threw 4 interceptions I'd be pissed. Same as any QB

Best answer: No. It eliminates the chance for many last second comebacks when you can't do an onside kick.

Just happened to the 49ers player

I'm just curious. Why players "retire" instead of just walking away? Especially if they've never played a game.
