Sigh yeah there is no issue
Next man up.
Bwahahahaha The old statement " the blind leading the blind" would have to be changed to " the stupid being lead by the stupider"
what was the issue with that statement? Players are known to spend and often end up broke. If they sit and and get canned they get no money. Hence a greater chance to go broke with the spending habits the same and no money coming in.
Not sure what you saw in his statement........

Again it's all about race, cause only blacks play in the nfl and only blacks on welfare. pretty simple really. Although most of us read it the same as you did.
Only someone with an agenda read it differently. Money management in professional sports is pretty abysmal across the board.
Seriously who will be sitting out? If this happened the majority will be black players. So why do they have to be on the welfare line? The insinuation is that all black players spend recklessly.. stop trying to find innocence where there was none

He never said that all black players spend recklessly, you felt free to inject that all by yourself. As the article above articulates, it is a statistical fact that most professional athletes are awful at money management.
He didnt have to say because we all know if they sit out who the majority who will be sitting out. Black athletes.
How are the hell did this get turned into a race thing???? No on said anything about race.

So, if a black athlete CHOOSES to sit out, not get paid, and end up in Bankruptcy court, that is racist?
Here is another article talking about the money management habits of professional athletes: http://time.com/money/3821404/nfl-players-retire-bankruptcy-life-expectancy/
If any athlete chooses to not get paid and ends up broke that is their choice. Any athlete that makes unsound investment choices and does not have a solid financial plan, they deserve what they get. These athletes are blessed with more money in their short careers than most Americans will see in a lifetime. If you can't figure out how to manage that money that is your fault and your race has nothing to do with it. YOU are the one who said "The insinuation is that all black players spend recklessly." no Sherlock, the insinuation is that professional athletes spend recklessly and if any athlete chooses to skip getting paid to protest and this makes them broke it has nothing to do with the color of their skin. The only person making this about race is you, but that is nothing new.
No that isnt it what he said now isnt..did he say bankruptcy? He said on welfare. How is that remotely the same?
Yes, being bankrupt and being on welfare are so far apart from each other. In BK you **** over everyone that you owe money to that you chose not to re-pay. In Welfare you take money from the government to support yourself. Either way you are a leech to society. So yes lets cry about semantics over the word welfare vs. bankruptcy.
Two different things that dont even have remotely the same stigma. He said exactly what he meant..
No dumb ***, you took it exactly how you wanted that fits your false narratives. That is nothing new.
Trump declared bankruptcy. 6 times...

My guess would be ZERO. If you sit out, you don't get paid.
Actually Trump's Corporations filed for bankruptcy protection and reorganization 6 times. There are big differences between personal and business filings but that doesn't support your personal bias now does it.

The Trump Organization is the collective name for a group of approximately 500 business entities of which Donald Trump, the current U.S. President, is the sole or principal owner. If you only have six at one time declare bankruptcy ( Chapter 11, re-organization of debt, not chapter 7 for the liquidation of assets to creditors) that is an excellent success rate.

Or in this case, the man up =* a player who honors America / is respectful for not protesting if he disagrees with an issue at a paid event.

What happens if Kappernick wins his "collusion" case????? Does it open the doors for many a law suits over similar and yet maybe more frivolous cases????? Will he donate all proceeds to helping the injustices of society or in this case just the oppressed ones????? How is this case progressing ???? Has anyone heard or been following said case???

I doubt anybody will sit out of a regular season game. The players have too much riding on it. So many have incentives that they probably wouldn't reach by missing a game. They would also kiss endorsements goodbye.
sorry Drew he is right to the point that you pulled the race issue out of that.
And this is what I see far too often from outside of this board as well as on it.
People waiting on the edge to point to racism.
Too quick to think that IMO.
You can have your view and i can have mine..not the first time Ford has said something crossing the line..wont be the last..and nothing Pride said after convinced me otherwise..
