He's just on the negotiation list for one team, I think he'll put butts in seats for an NFL team as a backup who people come to boo.(I can't find the original thread.)
He is coming to Canada, maybe. Will he stand for O'Canada?
Oh no !(I can't find the original thread.)
He is coming to Canada, maybe.
Sometimes.He donated $50,000 to Meals on Wheels this week.
He's made many other charitable donations as well, seems like a really decent guy.
Obviously, I don't personally know him and I agree his donation to MoW was admirable.When is he not a decent guy?
I didn't agree with his national anthem protest and I get the feeling (I am not in the locker room) that he became a prima donna after some brief early success.
That's all I've got.
I respect his right to kneel during the national anthem.I didn't agree with his national anthem protest and I get the feeling (I am not in the locker room) that he became a prima donna after some brief early success..
It harms & disrespects absolutely no one.
It's a peaceful act, based on his moral beliefs.
And yet his teammates this past season, his teammates (who are in the locker room with him) awarded him the Len Eshmont Award at the end of the most recent NFL campaign.
Len Eshmont Award? What's that?
It's a team award, Named after Eshmont, a former 49ers running back known for his “inspirational and courageous play,” the award is voted on by the team to honor the player who embodies those same qualities. Past recipients of the award, which has been given out since 1957, include Hall of Famers Jerry Rice and Joe Montana.
It is considered the most prestigious honour a 49er can receive from the organization.
Hope they are well. Their teammate is currently afflicted with ALS.include Hall of Famers Jerry Rice and Joe Montana.
