I love how they think sitting down for the anthem will change anything, why not donate some of your millions to keep inner-city kids off the streets and out of gangs, why not donate to local precincts and advocate for more police responsibility?

Easy to virtue signal, hard to reach for your wallet. Same horseshit when some celebrity whines about letting refugees into your home. Not the celeberity's home(s) of course. Other people.

To understand why people like this will never do that you must first understand why. Why: In (mostly) black culture it is imperative that one must seem "rich" at all times. Even if you have 19 kids with 19 women, your "jewry" comes first. Again, why? Why: Because one must ALWAYS appear to be more better off than the next man. This is why they all have to have an expensive car and gold/diamond chains. You have not "made it" in the black cultures eye's unless you can make others jealous and envious. This is their life's goal; "I, am better than you." Now, remember this rule, as it will always come back to this. Why can't they send some of their own money? This is answer is simple: They have none. It's all spoken for. The moment they get paid, or even the prospect of a big pay - they immediately spend it on something that will help them make other's jealous and envious. They are SO bad with this, that even those you assume are very "well off" are in fact, cash poor. So no, they will never contribute their own money. Because that money could help them "land a white woman". The flashiest of the "jewry" they can posses. It will also take away from their life's goal of "being rich, yo".

Ickey Woods, case in point. Went from being one of the best in the game, to peddling frozen meat out of a truck.

Wow this makes so much sense. Now that I think about it, you're right, it's a cultural thing
[–] Thememeking 1 point 1 point 2 points (+2|-1) ago
First of all I would re-word that to Black-American makes more sense, that and I think this method of thinking really focuses with all modern groups of people who are poor, I don't think it is limited to black-Americans.The same is true with poor Hispanics, poor Russians, poor Brits. If anything it follows poor people in the modern world. My theory is that poor people in the second and third world don't tend to try and appear wealthy because they have fewer influences such as popular culture, the internet, modern-rap music, etc. While a poor people in the modern world have these influences, combine that with bad parenting/lack-there-of and you end up with people who do what they can to get rich (or appear rich) without giving a fuck about how they get there.

Because he is a coward looking for attention, nothing more. If he really cared or even thought for himself he would have done something about it sooner, rather than riding Kaepernick's stained coattails.. What a lowlife. I could never understand how we celebrate these kind of people. Football isn't even a good spectator sport, there's an average of 11 minutes of action in a 3 hour game.
[–] pinkskinner ago
There is 60 minutes of playing time in a "3 hour game". Not sure what you call "action".
You're not thinking of the kickball game are you?

Sleep well Brandon. You can try and paint it anyway you want, but the majority of people find your actions very disrespectful, and a company is not going to lose business because this is how you choose to display your "principles".
[–] Gamio 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
I'm fairly sure it was meant to be disrespectful, kind of demanding others first respect him because of his completely beyond his own control skin color before he will show any respect to anyone or anything else.

I especially love the irony of these multi-million dollar athletes whining about economic disparity. There's an easy fix for that guys- starts with opening up your wallet!
[–] Zaqwert 0 points 12 points 12 points (+12|-0) ago
Good. People should contact the endorsers and let them know they will refuse to purchase their products if they choose to associate with America hating radicals.
[–] bourbonexpert 0 points 7 points 7 points (+7|-0) ago
good. i mean, i can understand (not really, but 1st amendment) peacfully protesting the national anthem etc...but on fucking 9/11? fuck off.
sure you can take your stand, they have the right to drop you.
[–] SirRender 0 points 6 points 6 points (+6|-0) ago (edited ago)
Personally as a Soldier and a Citizen I support their right to protest the National Anthem on 9/11, it's the same right I have to tell them to get fucked and boycott everything they are about, I am glad this douche bag lost his sponsor.
[–] bourbonexpert 0 points 4 points 4 points (+4|-0) ago
i dont. any other day of the year is fine. if you as a citizen are so angry with the country that you cant show a modicum of respect for 2 minutes for the innocent people that died that day, you should leave the country. seriously there are plenty of other places you can live where you wont have to be burdened by showing a little modesty in the face of such killings.
[–] RoastbeefLips 0 points 3 points 3 points (+3|-0) ago
I agree 100%
Let the fucktards disrespect the country that affords them the right to do so. I also have the right to call them disrespectful assholes and boycott everything they are affiliated with.
[–] rob_white 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
This is the right response, as the old saying goes, I don't support what you say but will defend your right to say it. In the same way, I'll exercise my right to speak against you and boycott anything you are involved in.
Patriotism is such an easy thing to understand but so many people get it wrong even in this thread: support the constitution.
It's not about supporting a government nor a party, or an anthem nor a flag but the constitution. Best way to handle these trolls is to ignore them to be honest, the protest only works when people get all upset and pay attention.

is this the same woman abusing brandon marshall.. abusers just keep on abusing.. https://broadly.vice.com/en_us/article/brandon-marshall-wide-receiver-at-least-nine-domestic-violence-accusations

Different Brandon Marshall. The one in the article you linked is a wide receiver for the jets, the one that lost his endorsement is a linebacker for the Broncos.

Although they both are/were Broncos

Just another nigger behaving poorly. No real surprise.
[–] solar_flare 1 point 4 points 5 points (+5|-1) ago
"but but he's exercising his rights"...yeah, well one could exercise their rights by protesting medical care for children. Exercising your rights doesn't mean you're right, and it doesn't protect you from the social & economic consequences of your decision.
[–] Gargilius 1 point 5 points 6 points (+6|-1) ago
That free speech is a right doesn't shield you from the consequences, such as, your paying customers exercising their rights to vote with their wallets. Everybody is freely expressing themselves, all is good.
[–] 8Hz_WAN_IP 1 point 4 points 5 points (+5|-1) ago
Exercise your rights on your own time, not your employer's time.

Don't know why more people don't get this. If most of is did this at or jobs or at a clients site, we'd instantly be shitcanned.

So what is it, then? Do you go up and shoot someone and say "I wasn't really trying to shoot you?"
Yes, another un-quantifiable crusade against a problem that doesn't exist while being paid millions.
