I would like to protest the fact that many of the Angels' games these past few years (decades?) have been unwatchable, especially late in the season. I have been able to enjoy very few of them, and it hurts.

I'll bring my torch and pitchfork.

I want playoffs and World Series!! No more of this finishing-five-games-behind-the-second-wild-card-after-late-September-collapse.

"I'm not racist, I even have a _______ friend"

A new spin on an old line -- always funny.

Like Adam says, we need more black guys.

And not those imposters Torii warned us about.

I don't think you can call Claude a racist. He is Canadian and that makes him a species.

Remember the article about the two white chicks in Portland that were forced to close their burrito restaurant because they were accused of cuturally appropriating a tortilla recipe in Mexico? And yet nothing is done about Taco John's.

Quick update....there were no kneel downs during the Kings / Canadien hockey game during the opening anthems. 

[Slegnaac]

I cannot believe that any die-hard NFL fan is really going to stop watching because of the players' "protests.

What next? Not drafting players on your fantasy team because they take a knee before the opening kick-off?

People who are tuning out are wannabes.

My question remains - are the protests actually accomplishing anything fruitful?

You don't find this endless debate that hasn't changed anyone's mind fruitful?

I said it before in this thread. I was racist towards black people before, but ever since this whole movement started, they changed my mind and I will not be racist anymore. 

[Glen]

You've Asian so I know that's true. Asians hate blacks.

Oh yeah, not racist.

What metric would you use to answer that question?

That's because the NFL represents 'Merica values, like felony assaults, domestic violence, drug use....

Fans should be kneeling hoping for a product that is not grounded in violence against women.  Something, something cast the first stone.

no idea, but i'd sure like to see something somewhere from someone that says what these protests are accomplishing. all i see right now are many people upset about the perceived disrespect towards the flag and veterans, and many people who support the idea of protesting to raise awareness of mistreatment towards african-americans in our society. okay, awareness has certainly been raised, but what is it accomplishing? is racism, whether personal or institutional, being affected anywhere by all of this?
