QuoteNFL bracing for possible player National Anthem protests on 9/11
FOX News Barf feed
The National Football League is bracing for possible widespread player demonstrations during the national anthem at Sunday's opening games, in what would mark a high-profile escalation of a protest movement over concerns of racial injustice in America.
The games fall on the 15th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, which the NFL plans to commemorate with appearances by military personnel, first responders and two U.S. presidents. That backdrop could further animate a fierce national debate set off last month by quarterback Colin Kaepernick's refusal to stand for the anthem.
Officials with the NFL Players Association, who have been providing its union members with guidance on what protests are prohibited under the labor agreement, expect that players on several teams may pursue some form of protest.
An official with one team said his organization had prepared a "response plan" for possible protests and expected that most other teams had done the same.
NFLPA spokesman George Atallah said that players can't violate the dress code—for example, by writing on their helmets—and they can't interrupt the game. Apart from that, Mr. Atallah said, players can express themselves as they choose.
The league hasn't disciplined Mr. Kaepernick. NFL executive vice president of communications Joe Lockhart said the league has a "somewhat broader" view than the union of what players can and can't do but explained the league would work together with the NFLPA to deal with the behavior on a case-by-case basis. He said drawing up an exhaustive list of prohibited behaviors wouldn't make sense.
Mr. Kaepernick, the backup quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, first sat out The Star-Spangled Banner at an August preseason game, saying afterward: "I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color." Since then, several players have joined Mr. Kaepernick in taking one knee for the anthem, a gesture that has been met with sympathy, solidarity and outrage from fans, commentators and teammates.
The response to Mr. Kaepernick's protest hasn't only highlighted national anxieties about policing in African-American communities, it has also put coaches and owners in the precarious position of trying to balance respect for players' political expression against broader public sentiment about the military and police.
Ugh, another year of Fox broadcasts. :yuk:
The genuises that run Clermont County Youth Football League decided to have Saturday *and* Sunday games this weekend. m ccould have done it last week, or two weeks ago, or three weeks ago. So I'm coaching a 2:30 game and filming a 3:45 game. I'll be lucky to catch the second half of the late afternoon games.
Ah, Preseason Week 5 never fails to deliver.
Seahawks/Miami certainly both look like they're playing preseason football.

The Dolphins have looked like that pretty consistently for the last few years.
It's just not worth watching the Cowboys and goofing on them without Tony Romo around. It's just so...joyless.

Are you not working with the bengals this year?
He's not on their road squad yet.
Girls looked sharp in the bit I watched.
WTF happened to Papa Doc's finger? :wacko:
I work for the league, and only at Bengals home games. I have traveled with the team here & there in the past, but only in an emergency. And occasionally I'll travel to an away game on my own dime to volunteer on the sideline.
Oh and btw in Tommy's game during the first series our star QB broke his forearm. Not talking a small fracture-- a clean break. He walked himself off the field holding his arm together with his other hand. Defensive coach for the other team had to run to his own sideline to throw up. Ugh.
Gregg Easterbrook must have been smiling when the Raiders said "fuck conventional wisdom" and went for two to win the game instead of playing for the tie and overtime. Not a good sign for the team when one of your bigger acquisitions on defense, Sean Smith, got torched so badly he was benched.

Garoppolo looked really good in the win .
Secondary not so much, however they were playing against Arizona so it's understandable.

Since the North Koreans or Khmer Rouge are unavailable, and an Extinction Level Event is not in the forecast, I will be "favoring"--if that's what it could be called--NFL Properties.

Yeah, well so was rooting for Stalin on the Eastern Front.
NFL Properties merely collaborates against the Ravens--and others--from screwing with merch sales and tv ratings. The Foreskins collaborated with the league to keep football out of Baltimore altogether. Fuck that franchise. Go Dear Leader.
But think of the Ravens!
They need a successful Steelheads team to motivate them, you know that. Same with Cincy.
I'd take an unsuccessful Steelheads team any day.
The Cleveland RGIII Experiment is dead in the water. Again. I can't say as I'm saddened by the news. Draft or trade for an actual competent qb. Stop sifting through the trash heap of the league and after hours parties looking for "the savior".
Whoa. Looks like Mary Kay Cabot got some work done. I don't think the Israelis have excavated that much in the West Bank.
Oh how the Niners are teasing me.
Well that was a butt kicking. Even when the Steelers were ahead 7-6 it felt like it was a mismatch.
Both games last night were shitty.

Yep, he did look good, better than I was expecting. Needs to keep it going now.
Garoppolo was marvelous in College and I thought he landed in an ideal situation. I think he stands a good chance to being the Aaron Rogers to Brady's Brett Favre. We will see.
How will the League cope with a 4-0 Pats team & a very, very angry Tom Brady.
I hope the Pats go 19-0 this year. Fuck those suits in NYC.
I am hoping for a 4-0 start and a 4-12 finish.
That would be justice.
I'm hoping, at the very least, for a 3-1 start. :w00t:

Real justice would see Goodell fine 25% of the salary of every player who voted to give Goodell the power to steal their money.
What a bunch of morons. The stupidity of NFL players, along with the stupidity of NFL owners, are the best reasons to avoid anything that makes the NFL money.

Yes slightly inflating footballs in an attempt to get an edge is totally equivalent to murder. You fucks are waaaaay outside of any sanity on this issue. You bitch about the no fun league but here you want to flip out anytime somebody is not just a apathetic drone out to score a paycheck.
Wow I didn't realize you were such a big Brady fan.

Yeah. He makes watching the NFL interesting. God Bless him. I will miss him when he is gone. I do wish he had served his suspension like a man, when you get caught you gotta pay the price.
But I appreciate the effort to brush up against the limits as much as you can. I wish the Redskins were known for that kind of competitive hustle rather than idiotic ownership and racism.
I suppose Stalin made watching WWII interesting, too.

I wouldn't know. Did he deflate footballs?

Probably. But not really relevant to his time with the Baltimore Orioles.
Not really relevant to this thread, either. So stop loving cheaters and hating America.

The problem is that Brady didn't get caught doing anything. The footballs were not deflated. Goodell fucked Brady over simply because he had to to cover up Goodell's corruption, and because there was nothing anyone could do to stop him, barring the owners replacing him.
To give up six million dollars simply to make someone think you 'a man" is dumb. not foodell-level dumb, but dumb.

Émile Clapeyron deflated those footballs. He deflated Indianapolis's footballs, too, but Andrew luck was not suspended. The only person who illegally deflated footballs was the Indianapolis Colts equipment manager who deflated the football D'Qwell Jackson intercepted, but the Colts were not even criticized for this admitted violation of the rules.
