Trump tearing the NFL apart

Interesting article. I can't imagine being on a team and how it must feel to not have your teammates support you in areas that are basic human rights.

That was interesting. I think it is funny that Trump supporters in the NFL seem to say that people have become to sensitive and can't have conversations about differences, but when a black player says Trump is racist, they can't have a conversation about that, but instead come back and say 'no, he isn't, but here is how Clinton is.' I find that this is the case in many discussions about Trump. We as all too sensitive until there is a criticism of Trump.

The dynamics remind me a lot of my workplace unfortunately.

Huh. Rex Ryan should have stuck with the foot fetish and odd tattoo headlines.

I didn't known he was a racist asshole.

It doesn't surprise me the collective NFL is, but Rex Ryan does.

I didn't even know that fuckface Incognito is still playing.

hrmmm... I wonder if this has something to do with all the dirty hits and/or injuries we're seeing this year. I asked DH if he thinks that there's something off this year, and he agreed.

Ryan declined to comment, but at least one white Buffalo player—Richie Incognito, the offensive lineman notorious for a bullying scandal that included racial slurs and who has now become a force in the Bills clubhouse—insists that Trump’s winning message has resonated with NFL players like him.

"Like him... " aka racist shitbags. How shocking that he would be a Trump supporter.

I hate that this guy is a dick because he has such a great last name. His last name should be less good, like Gross or something.

“That’s an issue with this country,” said the lineman, who said he planned to vote for Trump. “We can’t have conversations anymore. We are too sensitive. It’s OK to disagree about things.”

I know this is already covered - and I said this yesterday in another post - but the too sensitive crap just makes me want to Hulk out.

I also did not realize that racist shitpig Richie Incognito was still in the NFL.  Skimmed that piece on him and it was a whole lot of "I have black friends".  Uh huh.

After seeing the dirty hits on Cam Newton during opening week and all the years before, they were quick to throw a fucking flag when someone was about to touch/barely touched Brady....fuck the NFL.

I know there's a bunch of technicality, Cam was out of the pocket or whatever but I just can't help but wonder. :/

I'm not even going to defend the Broncos on those hits. They were dirty. Cam is out this week with a concussion.

I bet Rex Grossman has a few jerseys he could borrow.

I'm glad that the misnomer of R's eradicating the high taxes these guys pay on their bazillion dollar salaries is more important than their teammates. I never took NFL players to be the brightest bulbs in the shed, but really? You're going to go out there for 16 weeks and potentially kill yourself and your mind, lay it on the line for all the guys out there, but then not give a shit about real issues that your teammates are going to continue to face if this shitpig gets elected? So you can save some taxes? Fucking hell. This is not how team sports work, people.

There's a reason that roughing the quarterback is known as the Tom Brady rule.
