Without looking it up, none of you can name one hurricane that reached U.S. landfall after Katrina in 2005 until this year.

People did just that.

And frankly, yes some people did look it up. Which is more than you did. You just talked out of your ass. Without bothering to look it up. Being uninformed. And opinionated.

Hmmmm...

Want to make up your mind as to what they're protesting? Institutionalized police brutality (a myth), violence against women (true but hardly rampant), what else?

I remember Sandy, the big hurricane of 2012. The response from FEMA under the Obama admin was exemplary. Must be why you forgot about it.

Due to the effects of Global Warming, cops have been exposed to the effects of cosmic rays, which have the effect of making them hostile to black people... and it is true because a consensus of UN sponsored scientists, while measuring the likelihood of future category 6, 7 and 8 hurricanes. said it was so. Everyone agrees!

OBTW, Sandy was only a category 2 storm with max winds of 114 MPH, , but due to the fact that it wiped out New Jersey, it holds If it was me, and I was determining the damage done to New Jersey, I'd have written a check for $50, and told them to keep the change.

Yeah, I literally meant all of the insects

And are you aware that hurricanes are named alphabetically? Think about that for a hot minute.

Oh, and there are no insects on Mars, nor on Venus, nor on Jupiter.. obviously manmade global warming is having major effects on the entire universe... and just LOOK at what it has done to the NFL !!!

I need to send you the app I installed on our TV that prevents it from screening any sports at all when I'm in the house.

I am blessed that I have full control of the television 50% of the time - however, if this app blocks say annoying Youtube videos about Minecraft, let's talk.

How is it disrespecting them?

It's disrespectful to the country they served.

Especially considering it's a bullshit narrative in most cases in order to further divide the country via identity politics and "social justice".

No but it is an embodiment of the country they served in song.

And as much as I support their right to protest, I also support others rights to protest their protest.

I just never in my life would have guessed in the divorce of the USA that the socialist left would get the NFL.....LOL

The statement I was responding to said, quite clearly, that it was service men and women who were being disrespected.

I print this cartoon every year around Super Bowl (is that one word or two?) time and post it outside my office. I don't want anyone to mistake me for someone who understands football and then waste either of our time making conversation about it. In fact, I think this is the most sportsing talk I have participated in since my divorce.

Unfortunately I don't know a power in the world higher than Minecraft.

I do also love this cartoon though ... I have cause to resort to it from time to time myself.

Thank you for that quote, proof positive that the ignorant prima donna's don't have a cluse as to what they're protesting, so they make up a God damned laundry list. Why don't they add infant male circumcision to it...........Oh! Glowball warming.

And to top it off the list the idiot cited has NO BASIS IN FACT.

So what we have here is a bunch of ignorant assholes protesting a laundry list of myths and are to stupid to understand that they're losing.

And more and more of us are boycotting the games and the advertisers in protest of their ignorant and inappropriate behavior.

Stupid is a gift that just keeps on giving. When ratings tank, advertising value tanks, and there goes that revenue stream, soon followed by salaries.

Well I suppose when they watched and continued to watch black men being shot for things like lying on their backs with hands in the air stating that they are unarmed and just trying to help the patient that wandered away from the group home getting shot anyway, they took that as a fact that black men face systemic oppression against people of color and police brutality.

Or the fact of civil asset forfeiture laws being used to rip off all poor people but disproportionately people of color.

Or nonviolent minor drug offenses being used to fill the jails with all poor people but disproportionalely brown people.

Or systemic scams where municipal courts become revenue generating centers off the backs of the poorest and the brownest.

I am a white man, in my 40s, reasonably well off living in an affluent suburb and I can see it. I never served but most of the men in my family have and many still do in all branches and I can differentiate Reid and Kaepernick's attempt to call attention to their issue from other blatant disrespectful and unpatriotic actions. And so can my family members in the military.

The only one making this about patriotism, the flag, the NFL, apple pie and the 4th of July and disrespect is you.

Heather Mac Donald busted the one myth right out of the water.

Don't you have to have assets to be subject to asset forfeiture?

It probably would be a very good idea to stop putting black men in jail over something as stupid as violations of drug laws and to leave them on the streets jobless and needing an income to purchase more drugs...

First of all I think he's speaking of eminent domain. And to an extent that's true. Although he might want to review what happened up in New London, Ct. And quite frankly over the years far more white land owners have suffered at the hands of the government re. eminent domain than 'brown' people. Huge swaths of land taken for the construction of various infrastructure projects. But I suppose they don't count in his book.

Re. drugs and the simple possession and use, I happen to agree. But I also maintain that if the individual chooses to take that path that they stand up and take the consequences of that decision, ie. employment drug testing.

He, along with others, continually keep pushing this constitutional "Free Speech" mantra. No one that I know of is arguing that they don't have the right to practice "Free Speech." What they keep overlooking is that there are consequences, not necessarily legal, for practicing that right and that is exactly what the players and the league are suffering right now. Anyone, at anytime, can deem that someone's practicing of their rights is being done in an inappropriate manner and themselves take action in protest of that behavior. That is OUR right. It is their right to protest, it is my right not to pay any attention to them or to in any way subsidize or condone.

No, I think he wasn't, but even if he was, the point is that you have to have something to have it "taken," but eminent domain requires a reimbursement, even if that reimbursement is...,

I sure as hell don't have the right to free speech in my workplace.

The NFL ain't the Dixie Chicks. When they pop off they only hurt themselves and they are pretty much their employers and have the right to determine if they are going to suffer from declining sales. In this case, the NFL owners are allowing the equivalent of their 'roadies' to put a dent into their revenues. I know they're hoping the players just get over it, but like government, once you cede a power, you're never getting it back. In this way, the players are becoming the NFL's version of a bureaucracy which rules because power has been abdicated by those whom should be wielding it to protect the people (the fans).

Few places of employment allow its employees to take actions that ruin their brand and cost them market share without consequence, First Amendment notwithstanding.
