Most of them do nothing except enjoy their extravagant lifestyles. They could care less about the average inner city black person who lives in poverty and in the midst of everyday violence. Have you heard about anf initiatives started by football players to end the violence in Chicago? Neither have I.
Rush Limbaugh is being his usual self, using leading questions which are themselves strawmen. The NFL doesn't have unlimited free speech. It's a private business with their own rules regulating speech.
To my knowledge, I've not heard a single high-profile black athlete speak out against the thugs in Chicago. Someone explain that to me.
Oh, the NFL is technically a private company but they receive billions of dollars in tax subsidies:
How Taxpayers Keep the NFL Rich
and the head idiot made over 35 million last year and now they went for profit so Roger can hide it. I think everybody has handled this whole incorrectly - the fans for not trying to nip it in the bud the first time it happened, Obama for winking at it, Hillary for ignoring it, and Trump for escalating it and the NFL especially for keeping that nitwit as president. Then yesterday more players and coaches fell on the sword, just a zit about to pop. Of course the teams have "free speech" and they regulate it themselves and they didn't care to regulate this. It's going to kill the NFL, which is what the left wanted the whole time. These people are just useful idiots, multi-millionaires helping to destroy their own livelihood. They are a monopoly, time to apply some anti-trust pressure to them.

At least one player will lose a lucrative endorsement deal....

I knew several Eagles' players. Many of them at that time were decent guys, but they wouldn't be caught dead in Camden, North Philly, Wilmington, or any of the other inner city areas.
They all lived in Moorestown, Voorhees, Haddonfield, and the Main Line with all the rich white people.
My four year old has better manners than you.
And why can't players wearcUnder Armour logos?
Take a look at this post of mine made earlier today:
Trump blasts NFL kneelers
Just 90 minutes later Calumnian posted this about me:
Calumnian said:
After I say that I would fire the NFL players that kneeled he says I defend them. That shows either a lack of memory or reading comprehension. Unless you can think of something else to explain it?
Because they have a licensing agreement with Nike for the uniform jerseys.
I know, but it infringes their unlimited free speech.
Free speech (1st Amendment) only applies to government limitations of speech: "Congress shall pass no laws . . . " Any employer can tell you, while on the job, there are things you cannot say under penalty of dismissal.
If the owners decide to they can tell the players they will stand and will place their right hands over their hearts and if they refuse they can be fired.
However, that would put the team's ability to win in jeopardy which, in turn, puts the team owner's profits in jeopardy. And that is not going to happen.
Here is my solution. I don't care what a bunch or narcisistic, spoiled, entitled, impudent thugs do, or think. Problem solved.
I'll do the same thing I do every year. Ignore most of the NFL season, then root for the Patriots in the Super Bowl.
Brandon Marshall loses another endorsement, says he will kneel again for national anthem – The Denver Post
That's two deals gone for Brandon. Trump may have jumped onto the winning side and claimed credit, but there's no way he doesn't win this.

I understand and agree. I was building on the quote of Limbaugh a few posts back. The NFL is claiming the players have almost unlimited free speech in this one isolated case of kneeling, but the NFL does not extend this "free speech" protection to any other area of the game.
When I go to a fast-food place to buy a hamburger, I have to pay a surcharge to support the Indianapolis Colts, whose stadium was paid for by the City of Indianapolis. Indianapolis made such a bad deal with the Colts that the City has to pay the utilities and the janitorial services on the Lucas Oil Stadium. The Colts are too cheap to help out the working people. Also, the Colts have jacked up the real estate taxes in Indianapolis. Meanwhile, the Democrats are running around saying that only Democrat lives matter and so the taxpayers owe them a place to work, etc. The same for the Indianapolis Pacers. Even the Indianapolis 500 demanded taxpayers money for new washrooms for their track.

Are you sure the NFL is making a claim of "almost unlimited free speech" or is it Limbaugh up to his usual technique of claiming someone said something and then refuting it?
