NFL (since 2016)

"Free agency started last night and was pretty crazy some huge money being spent. Osweiler getting £18m a year for the Texans, leaving the Broncos without a QB, Giants have spent a fortune on good but not great players, Oliver Vernon has more guaranteed money than JJ Watt. lots more deals but cant be bothered to list them all."

crystal falace I have no agenda it's all in the fucking news right now.

"Tannehill was their starter going into the season but he did his knee in one of the first practices of training camp, Adam gase their head coach worked with Cutler when he had his best time in chicago, so it seems like a good fit, he's a talented pkayer, he has an absolute cannon of an arm but its his work ethic and real commitment to the game that has always been in question"

[Takashi Miike]

"kaepernick would have been signed were not for his love/admiration of fidel castro. again, I hate politics anywhere near the sport so I couldn't a fuck where the cսnt plays but clearly the dolphins thought it was an issue"

[zebthecat]

Fair point crystal. How in the actual fuck did Jay Cutler get the gig? Surely a coach who has worked with him before would know his obvious limitations.

[crystal falace]

"Seriously fick off this theead with your agenda, i understand why the players are doing it i have no real opinion either way on it, but this thread is to talk about nfl not politics, go start your own thread"

[HairyHammer]

"What I see very clearly is a police force in extreme trouble they have to work for a terrible system that allows them to abuse those who are poor those who are Black and those who are ethnic. The job of the Police in America is to fill prisons so that money can be made and that should not be the job of the police at all. In fact I would say the whole system is spent and very corrupt , what Kaepernick began was a scream of ""enough is enough"" not only are Blacks getting killed but the Police are not even being held to account for there actions and that hurts, it makes Blacks feel like animals or vermin and that is not on. You avoid me Takashi I am no one, but where you see politics I see humanity, when governments want they will use their sports people for political issues and you know what most will not even notice simply because they agree or are happy to go with the status quo. Politics is life I guess, what is a flag and why is it so important ? John Agard knows read his poem and learn something."

[zebthecat]

The US flag thing is woven into their tradition. I spent my first year at school in Miami (still have my tiny Bob Griese shirt) and one of the few thing I remember from that year is pledging allegiance to flag at the start of the school day. Thought it was weird then and still do.

"But that's where Trump has fucked up and made it worse. In Charlottesville, he condemns Nazis but said not everybody in the group was a Nazi. Some fine people on both sides. But in this case, there are no fine people peacefully protesting. All of the protestors are sob's. It makes him look like a cock. From what i can tell, this could have been over with inside the year. Now the protest has moved onto him. Great way to disguise the fact he threatened war with North Korea or his new healthcare plan is going to be vetoed or his own staff used personal e-mail accounts or he's put in place new travel restrictions. No, we're talking about sports. It's a bit of a joke."

What is taking the knee going to prove? Over paid fucktards wanting some type of black panther uprising. Trumps correct to call the cunts out

[deanjcrawford]

"Moved to America three months ago. Loving the NFL. Great game last night. The Cowboys should have been out of it by half time, but that TD by Prescott. I get the hype. Haven't got a team yet as i don't know where i'm gonna be full time. At one point i was moving to NY so i was gonna go with the Jets. My local team are the Bucs. Dunno about that. They're shit, but have a won a superbowl, so not shit enough. As for the protests, as a Brit abroad i don't understand the disrespecting the flag nonsense. Seems hypocritical t me. You believe in free speech or you don't. Especially after the Cowboys stood for the anthem but are still getting shit from conservatives for disrespecting the flag. Clearly a racist agenda from Trump and have to agree with Hairy. First Mexicans, now Blacks. Especially with his white house bollocks. Didn't see him complain when Brady skipped the white house. Generally don't like sport and politics mixing, but i don't mind us wearing the poppy on our arms during a game and i don't mind NFL players taking a knee. Why the fuck is the anthem played before a domestic game anyway? Final thing seeing as no one is really talking about the sport, but i think Aaron Rodgers might be my favourite player. He's been the stand out for me in the few years i've been paying attention."

"Hi,one of two Jets supporters on here . Just watching Dallas hi lites , what are ""in empty"" stats about please .?"

[Takashi Miike]

"beloved cops? I fucking said the cunts kill more whites than blacks, like blacks kill more blacks than cops or whites do. you're a fucking imbecile who needs to be avoided"

[Takashi Miike]

Rosa Parks you cսnt? it's pointless speaking to you. you're another on here who I will avoid at all costs. an absolute utter fucking cabbage

[HairyHammer]

"cops doing their jobs?, wow that tells me everything I need to know. So this player is doing it for nothing eh , why would he do that ? You Takashi if you were around then would probably have had a go at Rosa Parks for refusing to sit at the back of a bus . There are many vids on youtube showing your beloved cops in America using ridiculously heavy tactics to subdue black men and women too, they are not doing their job correctly they are doing it in a shit way that can lead and in some cases has lead to death."

[Takashi Miike]

*overpaid cunts gave a shit*

[Takashi Miike]

"the only racist narrative was from the cսnt kaepernick who started this bandwagon. if these overs cub cub a shit about 'their people' they'd be campaigning about black on black crime, a factor in American society that is a far bigger danger to black lives than cops doing their jobs. and cops who statistically kill many more white people than blacks, but I don't see anyone campaigning, rioting or taking a knee for them fuck off with your constant race baiting shit and stay off the thread. you have zero interest in American Football and find a racial slant on every fucking topic on this site"

[HairyHammer]

"Takashi The protests have nothing to do with politics this is about human equality have you not seen the videos?. I do not give a shit what you think Takashi I know a racist narrative when I see one and Trump has been spewing one out since his first comment about Mexicans, and his rabid jealousy of Obama where on his inauguration speech he pathetically lambasted everything Obama had done since he got into power, he basically said this Country is a shit hole because of you Obama it is rubbish dead, doo doo , was that not a touch unpatriotic? True Patriotism is selflessness not shouting and screaming like a dumb proud peacock. Standing up for a flag means absolutely nothing if your values are askew like someone who finds it almost impossible to distance himself from the KKK and other racist groups, and doing so afterwards of the fact does not count . If you cannot see or refuse to see the man's true colours and I am not talking Orange that is up to you and I cannot help you or your different thinking brain, but any Intelligent human being with an ounce of gumption will know that Trump is definitely a man with very racist views, it is easy to see ."

[Takashi Miike]

"yes, great pro and reminded me a lot of the type of player our chris thompson is developing in to"

[crystal falace]

"Sounds like Darren Sprole's career is over, such a shame was a great exciting player to watch who was still performing well at 34! He tore his ACL and broke his arm on the same play! how the fuck does that happen?!"

[Takashi Miike]

*as far away from sport*

[Takashi Miike]

"""playing to a white racist crowd""? yet again, you talk bollocks. having national pride or being patriotic has fuck all to do with racism. trump never mentioned black, white, brown, yellow or purple. this whole bandwagon was started by a cսnt who's no longer good enough to play the game. a player who was brought up by white people yet suddenly grew a massive chip on his shoulder once he started shagging a black lives matter activist. this bitch compared the ravens owner to a slave master with ray lewis (who I have no time for) as his chief slave when they chose not to sign kaepernick. politics should stay as far away from politics as possible"

[HairyHammer]

"Why is doing a Knee for a National anthem seen as disrespectful sitting yes, but going down on one knee is more difficult than standing and actually looks very respectful . Trump is obviously a racist and was playing to a white racist crowd if anyone is using the race card it was him and of all places in Alabama too he knows the history very well."

[Grumpster]

"As I feel the need to give some lacazette money back, had a look at tonight's match up and it's bloody tough to call. Elliot surely has to get a TD sooner rather than later, but written at 12's was too bit. Done the cards RB as well, even though he's a bit shit. Would have been JJ, but he's questionable to play = will get 7 td's."

[Takashi Miike]

our left tackle Trent Williams should get in the hall of fame alone for punching that cսnt a few years back https://youtu.be/7AvfmIVkVtE

[crystal falace]

"Horrible player, should of been evicted from the game after that hit, already had 1 unsportsman like conduct flag against him."
