Hardcore troubadour 12,644 Posted July 2, 2020 I don’t have an MBA or anything, but is it good business to cater to your employees instead of your customers? Can one of you college boys educate me on that, minus the nuance? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustinCharge 2,397 Posted July 2, 2020 I bet the black national anthem gets booed to hell. I mean you are asking white fans to either pay tons of money to go and feel shame or retaliate. The boos will be super loud. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vikings4ever 496 Posted July 2, 2020 So are players going to kneel during this one too, or will they stand and prove their protest was about the national anthem? How are they going to react if people kneel during this one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore troubadour 12,644 Posted July 2, 2020 The real test would be if a white player kneeled during the “BNA”. And shouldn’t it be F The Police? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KSB2424 3,083 Posted July 2, 2020 Power grab by top Democrat politicians Self segregation by many AA's Chaos and anarchy by white teens and lowlifes White guilt by cucks and big business The rest of us, normal folks of all kinds of colors, religion and creeds are all collectively rolling our eyes. This group is normally the producers in America. Black, White and Brown. The four other buckets above are lifetime politicians, takers not makers of tax revenue, drug addicts, college professors and Hollywood / Sports elite.

titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745 Posted July 2, 2020 When I was in 8th grade, we had an assembly for black history month. To open, one of the teachers played Thr "black national anthem." They told us to stand. Five of my friends and I didnt. we were promptly frogmarched to the principals office. "should I call your mother or your father?" he asked? "let's let dad handle this one." usually i picked mom, but I suspected dad would be the smart play here. So he calls dad at work. Tells him who he is. "what did he do now?" dad asked angrily. The pricnipal explained that I refused to stand for the black national anthem. "black national anthem? Since when is there a black nation? That's ridiculous." dad said. As the principal hung up, I looked at him with my "we done here?" look on my face. Apparently the other five kids dad's had much the same reaction. No punishment was attempted. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardcore troubadour 12,644 Posted July 2, 2020 Does anyone think that animal that swung his helmet at the Steelers QB would have been suspended if that happened this year? He did say the QB said that word that white peoples are forbidden to say or think about. Even if it’s in your favorite gangsta rap song. You best skip over that verse pinky. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Patented Phil 823 Posted July 3, 2020 Who on earth thinks this is a good idea? The entire focus will be on who stands and who sits for both national anthems. Fans that won’t stand will be shamed on social media, perhaps fired from their jobs. How’s it going to look when black players stand for their anthem and then kneel for “the white anthem?” Anyone with half a brain can see this being an unmitigated disaster. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lickin_starfish 1,480 Posted July 3, 2020 My team (Giants) has sucked for a decade, there are too many commercials, too many schitty referee screwups, and they took violent hits out of the game. There isn't much reason to watch the NFL these days, and the negro anthem makes it easier for me to walk away. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
