My Facebook news feed is full of people triggered by these guys not standing. It's ridiculous.

Mine was for a couple of weeks. Now everyone is back to watching football. Longest boycott ever.

They were already headed down before this. I mean the people I personally know that we’re boycotting also
I get it, it's all just very silly.

But an ill-attempted protest (about police brutality, but that turned into a Trump portest once the NFL was targeted by Trump: so I don't blame people why they exactly are kneeling at this point) which got interpreted by the average NFL watcher as disrespectful can't help those numbers.

Goal was, more awareness, achieved, less watchers. Mission failed.

The goal turned into having the right of free speech at the workplace that doesn't exist. Ther's no free speech at the workplace. The taking a knee craze reminds me of the water ice bucket challenge and the spinners, people just go rabid and do it for the fuck of it. A perfect demonstration of hypocrisy, just another charity trend.

These new cats did not learn form the 60s civil rights movement, nor do they want to take the efforts or risk. It was the equivalent of the "I support the troops" bumper sticker. Vanity.

Michael Bennett - the Walter Payton nominee for Man of the Year - dove at the Jaguar center's legs at the end of regulation while the Jags were in victory formation at the end of yesterday's game.

Cheap shot of all cheap shots. Erupted a skirmish between the 2 teams, and eventually Quinton Jefferson tried to climb into the stands after a fan tossed a beer at him while he was leaving the field.

And for the record, Michael Bennett has still not apologized for lying about the Las Vegas police department, and the media has yet to call him on it.

This dude is a Grade A piece of shit.

I'm hoping the league has the balls to suspend his ass for a game for this bullshit.

Trump should call a press conference, explain all this, diss the commish, then leave before taking questions.

I'm sure a tweet will be lobbed out once he hears who started all this shit.

in a sane world, the sports media would be all over this. I had espn on this morning when I was answering emails & for some reason they didn't mention it. SJW's, & the advocates & ppl scared of them, are killing these corrupt corporations. I think in an indirect way this is probably b/c of Trump, can't wait to pull the lever for him again in 3 years

What Jefferson did doesn't bother me. I agree with Mike Golic, if you want to throw objects as a drunken asshole at a player, security should bring you on to the field and let you have 3 minutes at center field and let you throw down with him.

I also don't think that Bennett going for the ball at the snap was dirty. Everything after that 1st second was cheap as fuck.

Another great Golic quote from today, "Teams would come out and tell us they were kneeling down, and we'd say we don't care".

And he's a native Ohioan btw...

I don't listen to ESPN so I didn't hear any of his comments. He is usually pretty grounded though, which is why I'm surprised he's still with that shit company.

What did he say about Bennett rolling up on the center's knees after the shit broke off? I have a feeling Golic would have ripped his helmet off and beaten him with it. That was garbage. Bennett is a total piece of shit.

He deserves a game.

He said he had no problem with the initial dive for the ball since it was a 1 score game, but if you don't get the ball on the snap, the play should be over and there was no need for any of the bullshit that followed.

Jeff Saturday also said something to the effect of that as an o lineman, you know damned well when the defense is coming even if their game is lost and it's your responsibility to protect yourself, and even if you have the game in hand to continue to call out coverages to your fellow linemen until the final whistle.
