I'm sure as a Giants fan you're offended as well.

............only at your lack of class.

I don't,as the brother with four sister's and the father of three girls,it's nothing to laugh at.

The English love that word. For some reason here it is very taboo. But the English throw the C word around like we say Bitch.

Its just a word, if it offends you, then you give it power if you ignore it, it is meaningless.

I have a mom, a wife, a daughter and a sister because some half wit on the internet said Cunt that is suppose to be offensive to me/them? LOL! Just shows the half wit's lack of vocabulary; nothing more.

Silverlining> Could be worth a protest??...I forgot we are in an age where words now hurt.

Giantone, look at this opportunity before you....you could be the flag bearer of a new movement. How will you structure the protest, will you be bending knees, referring to the hurtful word as the "C-word", etc.

I think teams trying to make it a "unity" thing are unnecessarily complicating things. Let players do what they want -- stand, kneel, sit. But I feel like its my white privilege showing when I say "meh, I just want to watch football and not all this other social PC crap" when that "other social PC crap" is very important to a lot of Americans.

Certainly social injustice is more important than football, but do I value football over injustice to others? An injustice that maybe 5% of me can relate to. I feel like I say I care but in words only. The moment it messes with my football or requires more than passing token words ..... meh, idk.

Complicated stuff. Much too complicated to be rationally discussed in the confines of a football game.

I wonder how many of these players voted in the last election? Kapernick couldn't be bothered which IMO makes his protest ring a bit hollow. I suspect less than 10% of these players actually voted so in some ways they are part of the problem not the solution.

How many of these players do anything to advance social justice and equality beyond taking a knee before a football game (which is the team's time not their own time)? I suspect that percentage is even lower than those who voted.

These players are willing to take a knee in protest before a game they are getting paid to attend but I doubt they would take a second of their own time to march in a protest or do something else to advance the cause of social justice and equality. This is 90% for show, 10% protest.

Not trying to throw gas on a fire or anything but you also have to figure that many players are not legally allowed to vote from past felony convictions, etc.,. Are there any non-citizen players in the NFL? I'm not saying illegal immigrant, I mean more of a permanent resident / visa, type person.
