I'm not sure that would have worked. There were strong forces supporting the protests. Like PB says, that makes owner panicky too - threats from advertisers, etc. from both sides can cause paralysis.

They panicked mostly about outsiders getting involved and inflaming tensions.

Maybe, take away the stage and take the short term heat while avoiding long term bullshit would be my thought. I guess I don't know what sort of short term backlash they would have faced.

I’m a conspiracy theorist. I think the entertainment industry, including the NFL, doesn’t have to compete or win. They are handed financial success through legal crushing of any opponent. What’s left is a sneakily legislated monopoly with the impression to the outside that it’s a business.

Then the industry is used to bring racial tension and other tensions to keep the herd of sheep distracted.

Huge problem in baseball and basketball. Harder to say about NFL.

Though I think Washington doesn’t actually care what it’s record is.

Read option fake pitch has not worked with inside handoff twice. Both times pitch man was open. Maybe pitch it Chase?

I see Da Bears are trying to back in the game.

Talk about stage. If an abominable capitalist doesn’t want his players protesting inside a stadium, well then, he should buy his own fucking stadium.

Publicly funded stadiums, the new Metrosexual Dome for example, are perfect avenues for the protestations of societal maladies.

Bears are back it! TD from a Chase Daniels rollout.

Better yet, simply decree the paid staff sit their ass in the locker room since they can't show proper respect.

Working 40, 50, 60 hours per week. The cabal doesn’t have castles and mansions unless the herd builds it. The whole point is to keep us working. It’s like a horse plowing a field.... you need to keep the horse just healthy enough to keep plowing.

The way people think and process, it’s a little different than most animals, but the goal is the same, to exploit what they have, which is intelligent work force.

Gonna be close I bet.

Dalvin Cook is good.

Huge contested catch on that drive. Basically a prayer answered by Bears WR Miller I think.

Bears fans in London have themselves a GB sucks sign.

[RashanGary]

Because of the nature of the human mind and our ability to join together and collectively say, NO..... religion, education, entertainment need to be used to keep the people blind and unsuspecting. And scared and angry and distracted. Anything to make sure they don’t question the endless grind that is benefiting a very small few.
