September 6, 201610 yr I believe the sales go into a pool and the all players get a small percentage of the sales. I remember Adrian Petersen complaining he wanted to change his number but was informed he would have to buy back all the jerseys manufactured with the 28 number on them. He said something like it would cost him a $1 million dollars but he was only making like $10k off Jersey sales.
September 6, 201610 yr I believe the sales go into a pool and the all players get a small percentage of the sales. . That's my understanding.
September 6, 201610 yr You equate his remaining seated to an American soldier picking up a gun to defend our freedom? One takes love of country and guts, the other not so much. No. I didn't equate anything like that. I'm saying Americans have fought for his freedom to do this. Simple.
September 8, 201610 yr So many great discussion points with this one. Could be a thread on its own. I had not even thought about the issue of the veterans that America is saying were offended used to include veterans that came back without rights. For the record, I'm not sure BGP can handle Michael Eric Dyson.
September 8, 201610 yr Kap said he wants police to stop targeting minorities, well they are in Chicago and people are still upset. Maybe Kap should go there and police it for himself.
September 8, 201610 yr Good stuff here. I agree with him: The way the white animals were treated in those situations was wrong! IMO they should have been shot on the spot, not taken to Burger King or permitted to gnaw on another person's face. I agree with him: It's going to take real integration... housing, workplace, and education. I agree with him: Don't give a handout because a person is black, but don't hold it against him.
September 8, 201610 yr 426 post about a guy who didnt stand up for the national anthem, really? Then why are you posting in the thread? Pretty simple, if you don't understand or want to discuss it no one is forcing you to. Great thing about America.
September 8, 201610 yr I agree with him: It's going to take real integration... housing, workplace, and education. Thank you. This has been the solution for decades and anyone who has truly been paying to attention to what has gone on in the inner cities knows this.
September 8, 201610 yr Thank you. This has been the solution for decades and anyone who has truly been paying to attention to what has gone on in the inner cities knows this. Arent most inner cities like Baltimore, Chicago in bad shape?
September 8, 201610 yr Arent most inner cities like Baltimore, Chicago in bad shape? Yes. The plight of the inner cities has been ignored by people who can fix it for decades. It isn't a quick or easy fix but the effort hasn't been seen by anyone with the ability to make true changes. I've said that for decades.
September 8, 201610 yr Yes. The plight of the inner cities has been ignored by people who can fix it for decades. It isn't a quick or easy fix but the effort hasn't been seen by anyone with the ability to make true changes. I've said that for decades. And exactly whose fault does that go too. Who controls those cities?
September 8, 201610 yr And exactly whose fault does that go too. Who controls those cities? I think it is much larger than who controls these cities. In order for the cities to overcome their plight the schools need to improve and that needs to be priority number one. If the schools in the community aren't capable of providing a good safe learning environment where kids actually can get a quality education then how can we expect the neighborhoods they live in to be productive neighborhoods? How can we expect those neighborhoods to provide job opportunities when they are too dangerous for companies to open businesses there? How can we expect those gang members to not fight over turf for drug sales when not nearly enough has ever been done to stop the influx of narcotics from other countries into the inner cities? I'll go to my grave saying it is a conspiracy with what has happened in the inner cities. It is too methodical for it to not be systemic.
