Sweet! Now nobody’s watching. Thanks for the help, Keith.
DC: Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison of Minnesota called for a boycott of the National Football League over a rule change prohibiting players from kneeling in protest during America’s national anthem.
After controversy marred the 2017–2018 season due to protesting players, the league is requiring players to either stand for the anthem or remain in the locker room until the anthem is over.
The new policy means teams will have to pay a fine if players kneel or sit on the field during the anthem.
Ellison, the deputy chair of the Democratic National Committee, called for a boycott of the NFL in a tweet on Sunday. more
A proper response by the NFL: “We won’t miss Keith Ellison at all.”
OK by me, however the owners want money in return for their investments. It’s easy for ellidiot to call for a boycott as he has absolutely no skin in the game and apparently no knowledge of basic economics.
In the democrat party the pus rises to the top.

Will claim a win based on current and attendance 2 years ago. There are many attempts to appropriate credit for others successes
Like how we came full circle on that one?
Black people wanted a say in politics and in fairness they were given it. He is what they said.

Delightful! About every 1000 years a Communist-Democrat comes up with a good idea.
There are few, if any, institutions that do more for black males than the NFL.
– Not just as players but in managerial opportunities, charitable activities, etc.
And the black male leadership is doing all they can to F it up.
Hey Queef. Not even Allah gives a piece of goat shit what you think. Kaepernick’s piss be upon you.
What ev
Keith Ellison, calling for people to lose their jobs. The vendors, the parking lot attendants, the ushers. Plus calling for the local communities to take a big hit on their businesses, hotels, restaurants, local sight seeing interests, taxi drivers, buses, etc etc.
That is exactly how I would spin this to paint Ellison as anti-working people. Just as he would paint others.
Hey! Quit appropriating White People hair for your Musical Vaudeville show
The DNC Vice Chair comes out against the Anthem and patriotism. Perfect. A blue wave of nausea just got more Trump voters to the polls in 2018.
And they said the Dems don’t have a platform other than Trump hatred.
They’ve got anti Americanism, plus the other planks in their platform that add up to:
Get your share of the 7 Deadly Sins.
Pride. Envy. Lust. Gluttony. Greed. Wrath. Sloth.
We gots ‘em all!!! Vote Democrat!
@Anon: Especially when squeezed . . .
Too late, Ellison, you clown.
Congratulations Keith! Like this is going to bring fans back.
we’ll see how season tickets sell.
Stopped watching a couple of years ago and now this clown wants to join in…?
Too late to the party…
Keith, the boycott started a couple years ago….. where you been sucker?
I wish the voters would boycott Ellison.
The NFL is going to wish that they handled this at the beginng rather than let it fester into a no-win situation.
You guys all think you are so funny, well wait till you notice all the missing black people filling the seats once the season starts.
Keith Ellison…
Is a career are sole.
Right up there with Shaun King’s urging top talent to boycott the games.
Will be a teachable moment to see how these players decide to react once their salaries start getting impacted.
If the NFL managers have been donating to Ellison, they just closed their wallets. lol
Boycott in effect. Thanks Keith Muhammad!
Sorry Keith, they lost me after 50 years last season. I hope the Vikings and their fans bitch slap your silly ass.
