Well I can ensure you you're in the minority.

Telecommunications companies are trying to prepare for the shift from cable and Internet to straight internet

The student market is making this major shift already. Why buy the full package when you can just buy unlimited internet and steam stuff?

Young people will deal with shit quality because it's free. Trust me I did it for 5 years while I finished school.

As far as the players union goes, they are out of their freaking minds. There isn't 1% out of the players that could be pulling down 10% of what they make on the outside of the NFL. Yet, here they are, biting the hand that feeds them. I guess they are too freaking stupid to figure out that they are insulting the very people they count on to watch the games they are playing so that they can collect their outsized salaries?

If either the owners or the Players Union don't get some adults in the room fairly quickly, I would guess that you will see some radical realignments coming in the league as bankruptcies start occurring.

Worst post I've ever seen on this board. Haven't read the rest of the thread but assume you got put in your place. Just an amazing sequence of words that would read better if it just said 'turd' one thousand times in a row

Thank you ex. Slowly making my way through the thread and will give credence to anyone with a brain

Lotta worm brains in the thread. 2 or 3 rational people including the FWO boys. God it's just insane to me that this many people think like this. Jfc

Oh forgot my own thoughts. Bisciotti needs to speak to it and call out the clown for what he is. A smooth brain piece of garbage that represents everything unholy about the US and the broader world.

as a side story, my 70 year old neighbor who did 3 tours in Vietnam and hung a Ravens flag outside his front door every September after Labor Day has ceased to do so this year. I asked him today why I haven't seen the Ravens flag yet, he looked at me and said point blank, "because these overpaid pussies don't deserve my respect". I've known him for 5 years and he has never talked about the war he was in. But he said "I did 3 tours in that shithole jungle, missed the birth of my son, dealt with malaria and watched many of my brothers that were black, white and every skin color die horrible deaths. I'm not gonna listen to a bunch of self entitled 20 something year olds lecture me on what's fair or not. Fuck em', I'll do something else on Sundays".

For the NFL, there are millions more that feel the same way he does.

Cool. I'm sorry that you're neighbour was drawn into a fantastical war that resulted in millions of lives being ruined for the fetish porn of violence that exists in the minds of the Kissingers of the world. I truly am. That has nothing to do with what the myriad of athletes that are kneeling are peacefully protesting. Wrapping yourself in the flag doesn't change the facts at hand.

I cant remember one time the anthem being shown on a regular season game till Kapernick took a knee. After that you have twenty cameras in his face. Now before every game starts they play the who's not standing game. The announcers are talking it and ESPN is reporting about it. I work with a lot of vets and they all said when this started f the NFL. Before there was 20 guys around the tv watching now Football might not even be on. They are loosing the causal fan because of it. I'm sick of politics every where I go. I cant get away from it. Politicians think they are celbs now. Football for me on Sunday was the one way to escape the world. Now they have to bring the world into football. Its sucks

No... it certainly doesn't. However the same lies and propaganda tactics that got us into the Vietnam war are being used to create an illusion that police are point blank killing black people at will. It simply isn't true. The crime statistics speak for themselves. In 2015 a total of 243 unarmed African Americans were killed by police. Yes it is true that 243 unnecessary deaths resulted, for sure, but nowhere near the epidemic that the media and these atheletes would have us believe. So your facts are like a prosecutor showing up to court and asking for a death sentence with little to no evidence.

Like I've said, the NFL has its position and in taking its stance the league, the owners, the players and anyone who benefits economically from the NFL is about to be taken to the woodshed and beaten big time. At the end of the day I cannot see how it's moral stance on an this issue is worth the knock down drag out fight it's about to go thru.

FFS....can we keep the politics out of football? Look, when these guys are in uniform, on the field, they're employees and subject to workplace rules, just like all of you and I are. If they want to protest they have numerous platforms on their own time, be it social media, the news media, etc.

All that said, I really don't care if they kneel, or raise their fists, or whatever. Just makes them a bunch of raging douchebags IMO. This whole issue is a bunch of garbage. Are there bad cops, and bad shootings? Yes. And when the evidence supports it, as with the guy in SC, they get convicted. Most of these shootings are the results of people resisting arrest, being combative (after committing a crime, of course), or simply not complying with the officer and escalating the incident until it turns tragic. It's real simple, when you're a criminal turd, you get caught committing a crime, and an Officer places you under arrest, cooperate and follow instructions. Do that, and you'll be fine. Get combative, and shit might go sideways. I have no sympathy for you in the latter case. Those of you on this thread who don't like my opinion, that's just too damn bad. Throw all the names around that you want, I'm not spending another minute of my night on this bullshit.

Now FFS, can we leave the political shit for political arguments and just talk about football?
