    From what I understand, that doesn't exist.



    Bingo! And it wouldn't create division, it may in fact actually bring some of the races together for a cause. But sometime during the game, where owners are paying out many many millions for that game alone, it still wouldn't be the place or time.



    Start with the massive fines, then suspensions on repeat offenders. If they lose their contracts after that, most times wouldn't touch them.
    Time to give them a trip back to Nigeria. They can use their millions to go after the tribes
    that sold their ancestors to the Dutch. But none of the street bread know a heritage, so they blame us that do?
    Pathetic. Join into the internet Nigeria scams!

    Ironic that these NFL players just had a 6-month off-season. You'd think that during all that time, and with all the millions of dollars they each have, that they could make some kind of public effort to improve the things they say they are protesting. Of course, first they would have to actually state what specifically they are protesting, but they can't do that because they don't really know.

    But I haven't heard of a single player actually making any effort to help with any problems. I guess they just think that the rest of us, who don't have millions and who don't have 6 months off every year, should see their sideline protests and immediately jump into action to solve everything on their behalf. What a bunch of do-nothing clowns.

    Ironically, Donald Trump is doing more to help things in this country that the NFL players are doing. This is the same Donald Trump that the NFL and NBA teams don't want to visit in the White House.

    Wouldn't one think these football players would collaborate and try to get a meeting with President Trump?

    I know the Redskins and Steelers have programs and opportunities to help folks, and
    I do not doubt the other 30 teams do as well.

    Fire them and get real citizens in there instead of pampered and spoiled brats.
