    LOL In Bob McNair's shoes? I don't really care about the shoes of someone that
    Play for free?

    They wouldn't play for free, they would end up making a lot more money. As it is the owners make a disproportionate amount. If the players banned together, they could easily workout their own television contracts. It wouldn't come to that though, because owners would have no interest in seeing their franchise value decrease.

    Some would say just as much rights as the people have to mistakenly using an old idiom in a new time...

    It must not be as comforting as knowing that all of my fellow redpilling non-sexhavers from Reddit or whatever DON'T BELIEVE THE LIES and HAVE IT ALL FIGURED OUT.

    You're probably about as interested in addressing issues like pervasive race-based inequality as the rest of the true believers are about global warming and the rest.

    You don't like the facts, or the analysis around them, so you fixate instead on the harm to the real victim here - YOU - by somebody on the internet. No wonder Trump is your God-Emperor.

    The fact is, you're even less interested in discussing these issues than the most strident woke-ass libtard of your fanatastical dreams.

    Kaepernick was all about starting a conversation. The response and yours here indicates how interested you are in having that conversation.

    He gave Rick Smith a huge extension after he signed Brock Osweiler.

    Has he been sickened and not suprised by his paycheck signed with McNair's name on it? Bunch of two-faced, hypocrite, p***y, snowflakes, etc...

    Not if they keep pissing off the fans like they are so inclined to do lately. Like I said, biz 101 don't piss off the people who willingly give you their hard earned money but they and you apparently don't seem to get that. Remind me never to invest or go in business with you LOL!!!

    He needs to sell the team. Been saying this since the beginning.

    Maybe this will be the straw that gets mccrap to sell.

    Honestly I get what he was trying to say and I don't think he meant any harm by saying it but it's definitely one of those things that doesn't sound right once you say it... it's a common phrase though and it's not like every player in the NFL is black:

    Exactly, but again if you don't know what you're talking about watch what you say, especially if it's in regards to a racially fueled topic.

    If he was at a kindergarten talking to a bunch of teachers as the VP... I'm sure no one would of taken offense to it. But his a NFL team owner talking about a bunch of black, white, hispanic yet but majority black players so why in your right mind would you do something to fuel this even further.

    first of all, no one is forced to work in the nfl. Secondly, sure you can work for terrible people but now all terrible people are insensitive or racist? sorry i'm not good and jumping and reaching for conclusions like the rest of you all. but i'm working on it.

    Rick Smith is going to have play a HUGE role in getting past this. He is the highest ranking black person in the organization. He is going to have to earn his money now.

    yeah Rick wouldn't be the GM for this long, or at all, if there's a slice of racist bone in McNair.

    You keep having to repeat this in multiple forums - why can't everyone understand what a fair minded intellectual you are?
