Alvin Kamara Appreciation Thread (merged)

[utvolpj]

So all the people who took a knee were fined?

What about the ones that came out holding up their hands?

Did they also violate the NFL uniform policy? If so then I bet they were

 

[Knox-a-rue]

Its against a clear rule, but you'd think they could carve out an exception for something like that. Isn't kneeling during the anthem technically a rules violation? I don't personally have a problem with the kneelers but I also think Christmas themed cleats are cool.

I also think they should let players pay their fines to charities, but that's another issue.

 

[tumscalcium]

They are not kneeling to protest the flag like most of you have made up. They are protesting racial injustice. You are allowed to not like it but saying they are protesting the flag is a lie. It is used to get people on your side because if you say "protesting racial injustice during the anthem is not American" you would gain no ground. There is no rule or law requiring players to have any involvement with the anthem which is why no fines or suspensions have been levied against any player for doing it.

Kamara was not fined because he wore Christmas shoes. He was fined because he violated the NFL's uniform policy for his shoes not matching his uniform. I personally think six thousand dollars for it is overkill but it is not part of the imaginary war on Christmas some think it is.

Lol. The players have no idea why they’re kneeling.

Give a Google if you really want to know. If you are trying to setup something then go ahead state your answer and give it a swing.

Good....shouldn't care. If you've been done with them, it should be no skin off your back.

People can’t just stop watching, they have to make sure everyone knows why first.

Seems like the kind of behavior everyone gets mad at millennials for, but hey...

Yeah they just love the backlash they get for doing it.

Alvin Kamara knew going in that he would be fined for wearing the Christmas cleats. He was even given a warning at halftime and given the opportunity to take them off and he still decided to wear them and get fined. Not a big deal to him so should not be a big deal to us either.

There's nothing left wing about breast cancer awareness.

Sometimes the wrong person is incarcerated.
Sometimes innocent people are hurt during police pursuits.

But the first person to blame is the person who actually committed the crime.
Not the person who made a mistake while risking their lives trying to protect the rest of us.

If it’s the wrong person or an innocent person, “the person who committed the crime” is likely either nowhere near the scene or doesn’t exist at all

Of course they do. They get attention. That’s all they want.

Wtf

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

Because you are less valuable to your company

So that’s why the NFL has almost 50% of players with a felony!

Good to know we lowly plebes who watch them aren’t as important as the whiny millionaires who can beat up theur wife and still hold down their cushy job

Ooh, juicy. This is the first I’ve heard of it.

Don’t get mad at me because it’s easy to dismantle every argument you try to make.

No they don't. The NFL has a lower arrest rate than the general population.

You don’t know what felony means.

FACT CHECK: Are 871 Convicted Felons Currently Playing for the NFL?

Please check your facts before posting. Continuing to spread false information based on ignorant memes helps no one

Embedded in the OP link. Giving 5k to a local recreational center to buy cleats for kids. I'm in for $10.

SWEET...I'm in for $10 as well !!!

 

[Sin City Vol]

Simmer down snowflakes...players get fined all the time over uniform violations.

 

[CountVolcula]

Wtf

Its a legitimate question

How does one get to be a multimillionaire athelete if there is a concentrated conspiracy to keep them down?

That’s not a legitimate question.

And even the millionaire players are like slaves! Ahh! Ahh! Oppression everywhere!!! Lmao

You still missed the point

Again, how did these athletes get to this point in their lives?

A little hint for you. It's the foundation of any successful person in the world

That is the most ridiculous thing I've read today.

I didn’t miss a damn thing, it’s the exact point you are making. Rich pro athletes as “proof” that there is no oppression or injustice

 

[ptcarter]

It's insulting to slaves to say the NFL is slavery. Unlike slaves, they can get in their car and drive away anytime they want. Slavery is a term used very loosely and shouldn't be cheapened. I promise you, they are NOT slaves.
