[QUOTE="CaptainS, post: 331904, member: 9255"] Proving that the NFL players and to a lesser degree the owners still don't understand why fans are pissed, they had a meeting to discuss how the protests were affecting business. The only thing the players wanted to talk about was giving Kap another contract. Even though he hasn't been able to play at a professional level in years and the last owner (Baltimore) who almost signed him got called a racist and Ray Lewis (who was helping to negotiate the deal) got called an Uncle Tom. Most of the owners seem terrified of upsetting the players. No one is willing to tell them to knock it off or you're gone. Only the Texans' owner was willing to tell the players to put pressure on their fellow players to end the kneeling. Owners HATE HATE HATE Trump - but are terrified of his ability to connect with NFL fans. Owners want a black player to be the new face of the protests. To promote "all the good things they're doing". Because the only problem is that fans are too dumb to understand the SJW message...NOT that we fully understand and simply disagree. The takeaway seems to be that, in exchange for players ending the protests, the owners will give a payday to whatever SJW nonsense groups the players want. They might even participate in a march on Washington...to protest something...maybe protest fans for being racists. That'll bring us all back!!
