Steelers, others cave, Trump wins

Posted on September 29, 2017 | Comments Off on Steelers, others cave, Trump wins

“After the Pittsburgh Steelers’ national anthem debacle with only one player standing on the field for the national anthem and the rest of the team in the locker room, Steelers veteran center Maurkice Pouncey vowed the team would all be standing together Sunday in Baltimore.”

With ticket sales down almost 18 percent, and television advertising (which pays players salaries) threatened, Trump is winning.

UPDATE:  The Steelers were all standing. Not even locking arms. Most other teams stood, with a few holdouts kneeling or sitting. You betcha paycheck, boys.

Players protest, fans protest them

Posted on September 28, 2017 | Comments Off on Players protest, fans protest them

“All told, more than 200 players from all 32 teams protested the president’s comments in some form, or fashion. The Packers stood with interlocking arms, in their game against the Bengals. With the exception of three players who remained on the bench…

“The Packers players, led by their quarterback Aaron Rodgers, issued a call to their fans to join them in interlocking arms during the national anthem. However, some fans have not taken kindly to the request. According to the Green Bay Press-Gazette, Packers Director of Public Affairs, Aaron Popkey, says fan reaction has been intense.”

With a good chart of every team’s behavior last Sunday and Monday.

Goodbye, Spurs

Posted on September 26, 2017 | Comments Off on Goodbye, Spurs

San Antonio Spurs coach Greg Popovich on the NFL kneelers: “People have to be made to feel uncomfortable, and especially white people because we’re comfortable.”

Not that I ever watched much, but now I won’t be watching at all. And Insty has it right: TRUMP 2020 GETS A SHOT IN THE ARM. Bigly.

UPDATE:  From commenter neoconned at Insty’s place: “Yep. He’s right and he should lead by example. Popovich should make himself uncomfortable by resigning his bazillion dollar baby sitting job, selling his mansion and moving to….I don’t know…public housing in Ferguson MO?”

NFL Arrest-o-Meter

Posted on September 25, 2017 | 2 comments

Good time to look into the charming criminal and misdemeanor behavior of these millionaire cry-babies. Most are for DUI and wife-beating, i,e, domestic violence.

“NFL Arrest provides an interactive visualized database of National Football League player Arrests & Charges. Learn about your rival team’s history with the law, break down arrests by Player, Position, Crime and Team.”

Via (who else?) Instapundit.

UPDATE: “Los Angeles Ram Ethan Westbrooks was arrested this weekend for speeding and being in possession of an unlicensed firearm. This is the second time in bracelets this year for Westbrooks, who was arrested in March on suspicion of domestic violence (the charges were later dropped).”
