True. The Democratic party is incompetent. I can't trust them to get much of anything done, let alone successfully check and balance Trump (especially since they don't have the Congressional numbers to do so).

But to be fair, the GOP also couldn't prevent Trump from winning their own primary. Make no mistake, it was a hostile party takeover. However, at least the GOP primary was democratic and primarily left it up to the party's voters.

But it took the incompetence of both major parties to result in the election of this demagogue.


You know theres a problem when Nancy Pelosi has the biggest balls in the party. Shame cuz i was okay with OMalley

i hope the remove the uniform requirements, finally admit it was just a way for the NFL to cash in on endorsement deals while stamping on the freedom of expression in their players, and in a few years we have hundreds of black players wearing anti-cop shoe alterations.

if they want to make an argument that the actual uniform can't be altered because it's distracting to referees that's fine, but shoes should be fair game.

the not allowing one player to bring awareness about domestic violence is the irony cake-taker

is a great resource for looking this stuff up. some of the things they've fined for are optics nightmares. the only thing i'll say is they're fairly consistent on fining all violations.

honestly BLM minded individuals might be better served taking fines for uniform violations. then the anti-kneeler crowd can't pull the "muh flag muh military muh patriotism" card and they'll literally be paying for it in such large numbers the NFL would be forced to funnel the cash into some sort of program to combat the issue they want attention given to. tax deductibly of course.

its like i said before a year or so ago to really bamboozle everyone they should fine every player that protests a gamecheck but donate this amount 50% to charity in low-income areas/domestic violence survivors/criminal justice reform efforts and 50% to cte research.

“What are you going to now protest us donating to these causes?!?!?!” The ultimate troll.

100%, instead they embezzle it thought bullshit CTE research they do internally to make "safer helmets" or "research into safer tackling", and put some towards PTAs people laugh at.

It's not a free speech issue, it's contract breaking regarding their very normalized suits... So the fine is justified.

On the other hand i dont know if theres anything related to kneeling in the same contracts...
