We won, they lost, and professional sports in general is starting to be questioned.
Even taking politics out of the equation, I think professional sports in general are incredibly stupid. I'm a casual fan, but the people that build their lives around it and throw all sorts of money going to games, cable packages, jerseys, etc. are sort of pathetic in my opinion.

No, that would inspire a desire for an equal and opposite reaction. Trump, amazingly, seems to understand what truly Winning means. In this case, Real Winning means that Krapperdick is a totally forgotten name, and forgotten meme, abandoned by all because he was such a failure. Winning means that 20 years from now, Krapperdick will be sitting on a curb outside a liquor store drinking a bottle of Mad Dog and no one walking by will even know who he is, or remember that he was once in the spotlight. That's what True Victory is.

There was some weird, complex stuff about this several months ago. There was a coalition of black players trying to pressure the owners into donating to an umbrella group of causes presided over by an organization run by Van Jones.
Then it turned out that the owners were cutting donations to other causes they had supported (like breast cancer research) in order to fund this. That caused a schism in the black coalition with some agreeing, and others accusing them on making secret deals with the owners and not requiring them to continue to support their existing causes while donating to Van Jones. I'm not sure how that turned out or if it had any effect on this current policy.

The way the player and owners conducted themselves really did alienate a large swath of the population. Most sports fans are white, them seeing a large amount of blacks essentially wipe their ass on the American flag did not do anyone any favors, especially when you're then asking these fans for $500 for shitty seats to a game.
Plus, as corporate America has gone SJW, the owners have let the players show their thug colors and outside of a real urban audience, it just doesn't sell.

Then it turned out that the owners were cutting donations to other causes they had supported (like breast cancer research) in order to fund this. That caused a schism in the black coalition with some agreeing, and others accusing them on making secret deals with the owners and not requiring them to continue to support their existing causes while donating to Van Jones. I'm not sure how that turned out or if it had any effect on this current policy.

How would that even work?
Do you get them on consecutive plays to start the game? Every time you get a first down? Applied to the side of the ball (offense/defense/special teams) of the player who acted out? Are they offsetting if both teams acted out?

All these "protesters" should be forced to live for at least 5 years in the land they would be living in had their ancestors not been brought here. Maybe then they'd appreciate just how incredibly stupid they are to complain about how awful and raaaaaacist the U.S. is, and how bad they have it here.
And when they come back, which they all will, they should be forced to study the government crime statistics that prove that all the bullshit they've been fed -- and gullibly accepted as absolute truth -- about how raaaaaacist the U.S. is, is total MSM-created crap. And if they can't pass the quiz on the material at the end of their study period, then they have to go back to Angola, Ghana, Senegal, whatever, and remain there permanently.

First, I didn't suggest sending them ALL back. I suggested sending back the football players who kneel, because such behavior indicates a clear need for educational instruction of the kind that can only be obtained by harsh example.
Second, I clearly said that they'd go back for a period of 5 years, after which they would return -- hopefully with a much fuller understanding of how very, very fortunate they are to be living in these United States.
So the answer to your question is, quite obviously, NO.

I don't know what the head injury rate is in Aussie football is, but it you watch them play, (no helmets) these guys don't lead with their head or use there bodies like projectiles. They tackle more like the old Dick Butkis types, shoulder in and leg drive. None of this blowing up the play by using your body like a cannon ball.
Helmets and shoulder pads are causing the concussion trauma.

Yep. You need to deal with a personnel problem immediately. Drop everything, and deal with it.
Inexperienced and/or untalented managers typically ignore personnel problems in the vain hope that they'll magically just go away. They don't. Personnel problems, left unaddressed, only get worse, and often spread. They need to be nipped in the bud, at all costs.

THis actually is defensible in the spurious logic of the judge. She is drawing a line between private and public, saying a public official is different than a private person and cannot silence people who want to talk to them, so arguments that Twitter does bad things don't carry any water in this setting.
But arguing that Twitter is cutting off access to public officials... that one would work.

What happens when a MAJORITY of the team want to stay in the locker room, and maybe only 10 or 12 want to come out for the Anthem?
Think they will?
My guess is no.
There was a guy that had been an Army Reserve Captain on the Steelers, and on a particular Sunday last year, he was the only one on the team that came out for the Anthem. And he eventually had to repent to his teamates for that particular social sin.
I don't know. I may watch the occassional game if I am home, it's raining, I'm bored to tears, etc., etc.
So then again, probably not.
As someone said above (Maritime?) this obsession with sports is actually pretty childish. I have better things to do with my time.

On paper, that looked like a Real Good Plan. They forgot one thing - just like the Japanese in 1941, they had no staying power. They had to win within 6 months, or they were finished. I think even the Japanese understood this, but these progressive clowns never did, which is why they have no plans whatsoever for dealing with the counterattack Trump is now launching.
Their entire plan of battle was based on the assumption that their would never be any counterattack. Bad Plan.

Back in the day, everyone rooted for their regional team, now half the people I meet care more about UFC or the X games.

Oh sure, the ruling is asinine and without any credence or legal basis whatsoever. Her entire argument seems to be that in a public platform nobody can have limited access or be stopped from interacting with a public official. Which is flatly false and idiotic on its face. She knows it. We know it.
But none of that matters, this isn't about logic, truth, justice, the constitution, or reason. Its about making Trump look bad, giving her buddies on the left a "win" and giving Twitter the power to do something against President Trump.

There was a Peter Ustinov movie many years ago, about a Mexican General who takes his scruffy little unit across the border and recaptures the Alamo. A hilarious movie, actually, pity it seems to have disappeared off any playlists.
One of the memorable things about the film is when the reason for his "invasion" comes out, Max reveals that he was arguing with his mistress back in Mexico, trying to impress her with his importance, and she told him that his men wouldn't follow him into a whorehouse. So the entire campaign turns out to be a scheme to impress General Max's hooker girlfriend in Mexico, who doesn't even like him very much.

Funny thing, is that Jim Brown went into the Cleveland Browns locker room in the pre-season and read them the riot act about kneeling for the Anthem.
He thought it was stupid and disrespectful, and made the team look bad to the fans. There was actually very little kneeling from the Browns last year, despite how truly bad they were.

That means libs got to stop ABUSING "Rule of law" "the Constitution", and probably every single word that describes America as a planned system of governance.
Also they don't get to say "Department of Justice independence" because the Justice Department is a Department of what?? The Cabinet. Which is led by who?? That would be the President, dipshits.
So when they say "independent Department of Justice" they're not talking about any "department" people who can read and understand words would be talking about.
But that really shows the tell. "New rules" by the left never have any sort of mutual intent. It's not like I can stop you from using words I don't want you to use, and you can stop me. No. Because their highnesses don't think that way.

Of course, once the minder sees LE coming to arrest him, he's going to know exactly who squealed, and he'll probably make sure that the girl gets it sooner or later.

Point handicap assessed to the team with the most kneelers (in addition to the 15 yard penalty-per-player assessed to both teams).
Team A has 30 kneelers, but Team B only has 8?
Team B starts with a 22-0 lead over Team A.

I see your point, but if you treat it like 25 unsportsmanlike conduct penalties each assessed on a different play, you would quickly find that there is at least one team who thinks they can win by not giving away 375 yard of offense.

Before the whole kneeling to shit on the Flag controversy broke out, I used to take an interest in the playoffs and in the superbowl. I would also watch the occasional regular season game if it was supposed to be a clash between two powerhouse teams with good records.
I enjoyed watching the Patriots win. And I especially enjoyed watching Tom Brady dominate.
Even though Trump has forced the NFL to genuflect on this issue and put in place a good policy against the flag-shitters: I will NOT be returning to my prior habit of watching the playoffs, etc.
I was never a hardcore fan. But I did tune in now and then to see a good game.

The judge agreed but said that even considering the President's First Amendment rights, preventing users from interacting directly with him on Twitter represented a violation of a "real, albeit narrow, slice of speech."

Even when they hit the ball, cricket players don't run from one crease to the other; they lope, kinda like MLB players who draw a walk. Actually running is veddy un-British; one mustn't be seen to try hard, old bean. It's ungentlemanly. Success, if it comes at all, must come effortlessly.
The irony is that soccer moms here revere soccer as so terribly sophisticated, whereas in the UK it's the sport of the working class.

The industry exists based on an illusion -- that what the players do on the field has something to do with us.
The players, being lummoxes, were easily talked into irreversibly exploding the illusion on the basis that they are millionaires in solidarity with the oppressed, i.e. brown people on welfare.

Second, Roger Goodell is a metaphor for everything wrong with American business and political leadership. Risk averse ninny, but still without respect for the past. He overexposed his product and refuses to admit that it is overexposed (see Thursday Night Football). He is also part of the cabal that ignored all the head trauma evidence for years. Man, I can't stand him.
Third, vapid empty gestures are everywhere on the left and the entire kneeling episode only enraged the league's core audience. Want to do something about police violence? Try sending a message to the inner city that just maybe some of their problems are of their own making. Oh, hello, Kanye.

As for spoons in underwear - I skimmed the article but not in detail. It's because of the rise in Swedish women being whisked out of the country against their will as captive brides to men from the religion of peace.

(2)They never even apologized (but it's been too late for that for a LOOOONG time, anyway).
(3) But now that they say they're going to say FU behind your back INSTEAD, they expect that everything will be OK.
(4) Besides that being F-ing clueless, this rule is WORSE THAN MEANINGLESS, because ...
(5) The NFL will NEVER put a meaningful punishment behind it. So...
(6) It will be violated, practically at will. Which MEANS ...
(7) While it's propaganda to try to bring some viewers back, it's really just a vehicle to grant the perps more attention-getting martyrdom.
(
So they're clueless because they don't really care, and they know they don't mean it. It's a disingenuous attempt to con a few viewers back, and to try not to look as bad as they obviously are.
(9) Really, it's just ammo for the Leftist propaganda machine. They'll say, "We met their demands, but they're still upset, because they're really just racists."
