Booing Fans at Chiefs Game Love Country More Than ‘Foolish’ Pro-BLM Players

Jason Whitlock says that when the Chiefs and the Texans lined up prior to the game in a show of “unity,” fans booed, and booing was the right thing to do.

The nearly 17,000 fans in the stands at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City had no interest in seeing the two teams filled with privileged millionaires take the field to posture in support of Black Lives Matter. The booing was long and loud during the players’ “unity” demonstration.

People are tired of being preached to, Enough is enough.

"Privileged millionaires". They get those salaries because they have rare skills that are in high demand in the league. And are they any more privileged than the billionaire owners? The NFL is a very exclusive club. They're not accepting new members, and when an owner sells, potential buyers are vetted and the other owners agree. Trump had a dream of being an NFL owner but it never came close.

Their skills are not rare..So many others have them..They were just lucky to get picked..

Ever watch an NFL scab game? Last time it happened, the Packers actually had one of the better scab teams! But the games themselves were not nearly as good. Packer fans couldn't decide....north of .500 with the scabs or south of it with the regulars? The good old days right?

The top half of every NFL roster is guys who command a premium in the market. The bottom half, yes comparatively easy to plug guys in and out. But it's the top half that fans pay to see, that win championships, that make the whole business go.

Why pay good money to boo unpatriotic players and their owners ? The more they are hit in the bottom line, they quicker they will wake up.

And what use are those skills? Can throwing a forward pass build a house? Can catching it discover a cure for cancer? Athletes are only entertainers -- no better than ballroom dancers or stand up comedians.

A Blocker Moves to the Pandemic’s Front Line
Less than three months after helping the Chiefs to a Super Bowl victory as their starting right guard, Laurent Duvernay-Tardif is putting his doctorate in medicine to use: fighting the coronavirus outbreak at a longterm care facility in Quebec.

They are recruited from the colleges...some might finish and most maybe not. (the players), Most are know for just their foot ball skills...Which has little to do with schooled intellect!

So it's unpatriotic for black players and others to speak out advocating equal treatment under the law regardless of race? Hmm, I missed the meeting on that one.

[rayg]

Who said that?

Yes, because it's not about "equal treatment," which is already the LAW. What they're really agitating for is PREFERENTIAL treatment in hiring, college admissions, housing, etc., such as this billion dollar give-away to black (so-called) farmers:

I'm saying it now...because claiming it's about "equality" is a FRAUD.

Supposedly the average NFL player who retires as a millionaire is broke within 3 years.

"Sports Illustrated estimated that 80% of retired NFL players go broke in their first 3 years out of the League."
