worth remembering that complaints about the protests have ~0 to do with the anthem/flag which is why ppl were still incensed and why jerry kneeling was still great. that someone like him was manoeuvered into legitimizing the protests, or the right to protest, is a big development. yeah this weekend's actions became about responding to trump and the right to protest vs the protest itself but the usual tactics of marginalizing and threatening employment are gone now. and even so, a handful of high profile ppl did take the opportunity to say something about the actual substance of the protest.

yea this is 100% the most frustrating part of this, everyone on the right seems fine advancing the "they're protesting the flag of this great country!" narrative when they explicitly are not doing that

jeez just read Sproles tore his acl and broke his arm last week. probably time to retire

never heard of anyone sustaining two season-ending injuries on one play
tbh I didn't even know Sproles was still in the league. guys like that only last like 2-4 years

Chief Smith is out of the country on vacation, but on Facebook, he responded to KDKA:“I am embarrassed at this. I want to apologize. I was frustrated and angry at the Steelers not standing the anthem. This had nothing to do with my Fire Department. I regret what I said.”

the thing about really dumb people is sometimes when they type something they think only they can see it, maybe.

DirecTV allows Sunday Ticket refunds after NFL protests, per report https://t.co/wV9eBUc5U3— SB Nation NFL (@SBNationNFL) September 26, 2017
this is some embarrassing shit. they should cancel without refund and then bilk them for a full cost season subscription again when they quietly change their mind in 2 weeks
― Roberto Spiralli, Tuesday, 26 September 2017 20:28 (six years ago) link
they really are the worst. I got Sunday Ticket for free (which I used, like...twice) because I moved and wanted to cancel. never mentioned to me that it auto-renews and there is no way in their online system to cancel it, or even see that it's going to auto-renew. instead you have to have a 30-minute phone conversation where you have to explain why you don't want it even if they knock $5 off the cost.

that's hilarious tbh, if they really want to voluntarily lose revenue over something they have no control over, then by all means
