coming onto the field with their hands up in support of Ferguson and mike brown. Why not just wear black hoodies and have a mac 10 strapped to your waist and holding a little foreign guy by the neck. Really[?][?][?][}:)][}:)][}:)][:(!][:(!][:(!] They should have came out all wearing badges in Support for Officer Wilson, for putting his life on the line trying to protect the citizens of that hell hole. Totally disgusted with that display. They should be fined as a team and have the game count as a loss. I really want to see the commissioners response to this disgusting display. Just my take on things. I think most people saw this as a bad display from people, that kids look up to.

Its too bad all the people in the stadium did not get up demand there ticket price back and march out like that would ever happen [:(!][:(!]
and really they wonder why racism is getting worse .
I have no ill feelings toward any race , just the asshats that do such blatant acts regardless of there color
In the time it took the players to do that I'll bet half a dozen Black kids were kiled by other Black kids.
The Black comminity had an opportunity at self examination and correction - drugs, violence, poor schooling, absentee fathers - but they allowed themself to be highjacked by the usual suspects and diatribe.
Too bad somebody didn't drop a string of firecrackers over the rail right about then.
LMAO[:D]
SLPOA Business Manager Jeff Roorda was quoted in a statement released by the organization as saying " All week long, the Rams and the NFL were on the phone with the St. Louis Police Department asking for assurances that the players and the fans would be kept safe from the violent protesters who had rioted, looted, and burned buildings in Ferguson ... then, as the players and their fans sit safely in their dome under the watchful protection of hundreds of St. Louis's finest, they take to the turf to call a now-exonerated officer a murderer, that is way out-of-bounds, to put it in football parlance."
Not that I'm against football you understand. Far from it. Just have my priorities clear here [8D]
Blatant racism and no one calls it because well you know........ only white people can be racist these days. I cant believe the coach was not aware that they were going to do that, he should be reprimanded as well. Overall a disgusting display by uninformed people and another reason while the NFL stands for: Not For Long. I miss the 1970s NFL.
i miss the 1950's NFL, and the rules and uniform in effect at that time, the NFL of today is nothing more than "Pussyball" [:D]
I think it was done in bad taste, most have no clue about the facts involved in the case nor the turd that was shot. The police association is throwing a fit, other people are wanting action etc. We can agree, or disagree but they are expressing their 1st Amendment rights. I don't like what they did personally, and they don't like me having guns laying at the bottom of the lake. In the end, both of our situations are covered by the constitution tastelss or not.
Yeah, they have a right to say it, and the NFL has the right to punish them for it.
I would like to write what I really think.........But this place is a family friendly place.

They know the facts; they just chose to ignore them because "justice" wasn't done by their definition.
Furthermore, the 1st Amendment applies to the citizenry vs. the government, not in the private sector. Try calling your boss an a-hole and tell him you're just exercising your 1st Amendment rights. Those thugs should be fined and suspended. [:(!]

I agree with you 100%, was just saying ya know dawg
just to be clear it was these 5 pictured.....not the entire team
It's good to know their kind are still in the minority among the decent citizens of this country.
Steal, beat people, smoke dope and get in a fight with a cop - blame is alot easier to deal with than responsibility.
In the time it took the players to do that I'll bet half a dozen Black kids were kiled by other Black kids.

Exactly! And you will hear nothing from these low level morons about those 'black lives' that are supposed to be so F'n valuable.
When their own community begins to show some concern for human lives, I will start to worry about their's.
Until then, they should be sure to keep their uncivilized behavior in their own neighborhood. Because the response in mine won't be too awful friendly. [}:)][}:)][}:)]

That is clear, but they are representatives of the team as a whole. If only one player did this, I would still feel the same way, even if it was a white player. When you put on that uniform, you represent the whole team, not just yourself.
