A player from the Cowboys just made it clear to me that they've all gotten the message that taking a knee will put them "on the shit list"
Hmmm.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Racism thrives in Boston.

Maybe that's a good thing. There is more to life than video games.
So take a knee. The entire team. They want the status quo affirmed with Trump's bullshit. The solution is to mercilessly challenge it.

Boston has a long history of racial issues related to sports. Just this year there's been a lot of issues with the n-word at Fenway Park. Visiting players complain about it a lot, and Celtics players (even the beloved ones like Bill Russell) have noted the racism.

And I thought Dallas was pretty liberal.
But yeah, Jerry Jones reeks Trumpism.

Every Cowboy player should be clear on the reality that to team ownership, their lives beyond the football field do not matter to them. They are nothing more than expensive toys, providing nothing but entertainment value. Providing anything other than singing and dancing will put you on the shit list.

why did y'all just quote an obvious burner account like 20 times
At that point, I don't know what else they think they should do. If taking the knee gets you in the doghouse, all for one, one for all. Doghouse the entire team, see how that does you. Sadly it doesn't take many hold-outs to jeopardise everyone else.

SHOCKING NEWS

They should ignore it and all kneel, and see if anyone will have the nerve to put them all together on the "shit list"
Oh snap.
People who don't understand this are willfully not understanding it and trying to feel victimized so they don't have to feel responsible.

I think it's too early to say this. The league is under a lot of pressure. Millions of Americans voted for and support Trump, and there's a lot of overlap between this group and NFL fans. Millions more are "in the middle" and don't want their football "disrupted" by political statements.
Trump coopted Brady's message. That's what happens when you're ambiguous.
Also, do you really think that the greatest quarterback of all time (and best in the NFL currently) would be killing his career to take a knee during the anthem? I don't.

The venn diagram of nascar fans and Trump voters has to be as close to a perfect circle as you can get.

There are some really good Dollop episodes on Boston. Looong history of systemic racism
They didn't even ban lead in their gasoline until last decade, no wonder they're dumb as shit.
What on earth would anyone give that idea?
Idiotic redneck is fine with violating the constitution to punish black people, shocker.
The GOP no longer cares what a President can and can't do.

I visited it a few times. The Harvard Square area, not sporting events to be fair.

To be fair Boston has plenty of progressives along with plenty of racists which you can say about basically any place.

Sadly it's probably the second most "progressive" of the big North American 4:
1. NBA
2. NFL
3. MLB
4. NHL
Given that he is a draft dodger who said that avoiding STDs was his personal Vietnam, he can go fuck himself.

Boston's reputation is well earned. No need to "be fair". Boston's racist ways -- particularly at sporting events, very visibly -- has been well documented.

Find it surprising conservatives are totes cool with the president tell them what to do or face the consequences. Bush wouldnt have been able to get away with shit like that.

Seahawks sitting out completely, and actually doing it for the right reasons instead of the not participating in politics bullshit.
But tax reform.
