Can Salt Mine threads become plagued?

I don't know about you but I put a lot of value on my career. Whether or not one agrees with the cause I can't think of any that I'd put mine on the line for and I somewhat admire someone who would.
I'd say that entirely depends on how long the NFL keeps being political without anyone dialing it down a bit.
Of course the ratings were down from last Sunday night's game. It had less to do with the protesting and more with the fact that it was a terrible, one-sided fucking game. Most people don't want to continue watching a Sunday night football game when the Raiders have less than 80 yards of offense at the end of the half. The second half was even worse. The exceptional writer of this article doesn't understand what constitutes an interesting football game that garners viewership.
Besides the few people who are actually burning tickets and jerseys, which is fucking dumb btw; they should sell and scalp that shit, most of these people probably aren't NFL fans anyway. It's literally the lefties boycotting the NFL over Kaepernick all over again, but in reverse. The only difference is that instead of getting a bunch of people protesting the NFL that look a bunch of whimsical PC idiots, you're getting a bunch of people protesting the NFL who look like they huff paint and spend their weekends building pipe bombs in their shacks out in their backyard.
If you want to make NFL political, just fuck off and stop ruining everyone's good time. People watch sports to avoid this shit, not to get deeper into it.

I know burn laws vary from place to place but I wonder if any of these guys can get a fine from the city for dousing clothes in gasoline and burning them in their backyard?

So you admire morons who state that the gesture they make signifies defiance to a thing but in reality the gesture actually means submission to that thing?
lol calm down
Beating Cody For Kneeling During The National Anthem PRANK!!! (gone wrong!) (gone sexual!!) (2017!!!)
All this salt because a couple of players didn't want to stand up? What the hell man. People on the right and the left cry about anything these days.
Since I hear the ratings have gone down I guess they made the wrong choice in it all.
I rarely crosspaths with onision, is he a genuine fan of the NFL or does he just do this for views? The latter makes sense obviously.

There's a meme going around the webs that says "Racism is so American that when you're protesting racism, people think you're protesting America". This presumes that people who are salty about the take a knee thing know immediately that the knee-takers are protesting racism, or even presumes that the average Joe Sixpack watching the Packers vs. the Steelers knows about any current racism of a grand scale like separate water fountains and shit.
Maybe it's just me, but shouldn't protests avoid being counterintuitive in presentation? The whole point of protest is to get the message across, right? If the point of the protest isn't to "disrespect" the national anthem/flag/whatever, why do they sound surprised when people get salty when the connection formed by the protest IS the flag/anthem/whatever and thus the association is made that "America" is being protested against? The message should be easily understood at a glance, and if they came up with a method of protest that the average football-watching person (be they smart, of average intel, or trailer park boys Corey-and-Trevor stupid--"I've known cats and dogs that are smarter than Trevor and Corey"- Ricky) can't connect to an actual issue and thus misunderstand what the protest is really all about, the people who came up with the idea of how to protest in that manner have nobody to blame but themselves for their own salty reactions to the salty reactions to their protest.
Protests don't do the intended thing when the protest is so exceptional that nobody really knows what people want them to do. Nothing spells headscratcher like millionaire athletes, many of whom are of color, protesting what appears to be the flag/national anthem and something something racism. Because nothing says "racism" like black athletes raking in millions, amirite folks? (at a glance). People are going to look at that and go "WHAT racism?! WHAT 'oppression'?!" (I blame the marxists and the postmodernists for overusing, over-re-defining, and thus rendering completely fucking meaningless, the word 'oppression')
However, even if it was made clear that "racism" was the intended message of protest, I'll guarantee you some guy watching the game on a TV from the 1980s in his trailer in Alabama is going to go "Well shoot, what do you want ME to do about it?" and throw up his hands and shake his head because he hasn't voted since 1992 because "there's no point".

Rich althletes should get together and start charities to promote and establish their cause. Not be retarded. What this protest accomplish any way except scream immaturity?

Last weekend Packers wanted fans to lock arms for "unity." Unity against what? Trump? America? White People? Yes to all three?
Shaq has been a reserve police officer for years and has busted criminals. There are several ways to improve your city and those around you without pissing off your fanbase.
Once again it's about looking good not doing good.
People are being super exceptional in a discussion on twitter with LeVar Burton. One person commented that if a country is super-oppressive, why not move to another country (which can be a situationally exceptional suggestion in itself--because immigration isn't always a cut-and-dried or easy thing)? Another person made the exceptional comment of HOW DARE YOU TELL A BLACK MAN HOW AND WHERE HE CAN AND CAN NOT PROTEST. Which...wasn't the point of the other quasi-exceptional comment? Even that aside, that's kind of a strawman anyway. Most people aren't "telling a black person how and where they CAN or CAN NOT protest"--they're merely pointing out exceptionalism in protesting that can cause confusion and misunderstanding of the actual message--which sort of defeats the entire purpose of the protest in the first place.
I just love how the exceptional regressives keep claiming America is Stupid, yet they insist on doing abstract or high-brow intellectual complicated protests that in order to get it, the people would have to be smart. You can't call Americans (in general) stupid, and then act surprised when their reactions to your exceptionalism looks like, well, Americans being stupid (because they didn't "get" it).
The only time it's not exceptional to leave a country that is "oppressive" is if there's absolutely NO hope, aside outside foreign outright invasion/war or eventual internal collapse 80+ years in the future, of making the country "better" (ie: the former Soviet Union, Cuba, North Korea--which also happen to be countries the most invested in keeping people from leaving). I think the person that wondered aloud why not leave a country (USA) that is "so" oppressive was referring to this sort of thing--insinuating that USA was perhaps not as oppressive as was claimed, which is why I don't think the question was full exceptional.
I don't even want to go in to how exceptional this entire discussion was in light of how many celebs threatened to move to France or some other foreign nation if Bush or Trump were elected but never followed through on.

Personally if I could do life all over again I would move to a third world nation like hati or south America upon high school graduation.
I rather be in an eviroment chuck full of real problems then surrounded by virtue signaling jerks who make believe problems to feel important.

There is still time to move, and Haiti has the space. For someone pointing out virtue signalling, it's funny you'd make such a ridiculous and clearly bullshit claim.
Clarify please ?
I quoted what another person said about moving and I am agreeing with they said only in my own words.
I am saying if a person really hates the USA for whatever reason one can move someplace else if they want to.
As for hati comment? I get spent three months in Peru. It's place many Americans are afraid of. It's not.that bad. It my way of saying if a person really hates America and wants to move now they can. If the USA as a rich nfl player really bothers ya just go.

This tweet sounds pretty hypocritical.
First of all, if you knew NFL players partake in rape, assault, murder, DUI, and dog fighting, why even bother caring about the NFL? Honestly, you wouldn't be writing these virtue signaling jabs if you actually practiced what you preached.
