This man did not take a knee in protest, he took a knee in prayer and was called "controversial." LET THAT SINK IN

NFL players responded to President Trump's criticisms of players protesting police brutality by taking a knee during the national anthem by kneeling en masse Sunday morning.
The opening of the NFL Sunday slate of games took place Sunday morning in London, and many players from both the Baltimore Ravens and the Jacksonville Jaguars took a knee during the playing of "The Star-Spangled Banner."

Trump has simply laid out the bait. When the usual suspects go after it, the public will see things clearly.
The NFL is in big trouble.
Although it is their first amendment right to demonstrate.
Most of these sports franchises depend heavily upon publicly supported stadiums and special tax incentives.
Make them pay rent on the stadiums they don’t own and revode all tax incentives.
I was amazed to discover several years ago, that the local football team enjoyed status as a non-profit organization.
On foreign soil, protesting the President of the USA. That is even more dumb than protesting the flag for me. Basically, they are protesting people like me now.
If my Vikings do this, then my 50 year love affair with them is over, and i will never watch another NFL game. Good luck paying for they new stadium guys. Be smart and stand with me and our county, not with the terrorist group BLM
This is one battle Trump should not have chosen. IMHO.
I only care what players do after the clock has started. What matters is that I stand during the National Anthem.
It’s their funeral so let them spit on their fans all they want.

Yep. And I want to see everyone of them go broke.
Most would have to be locked in a cage (prison) if not for making millions off of a freakin’ game. As a whole, they have zero emphasis on education so they have plenty of time to excel in sports. Most cannot make it in the NFL so most blacks end up uneducated, poor, and without a lot of hope of being prosperous. In other words, most are idiots for not following real leaders.
#EmptyNFLSeatsUnite.
I only watch the Cowboys or Texans. So far neither team has pulled this crap.
If they do, I am done.
I agree. There will be more kneel downs than ever. Subsequently, there will be fewer butts in the seats and eyes on the TV, but the powers that be won’t be able to see a correlation between the two.
Interesting observation.
You could add academia the list.
Very pleased that I dropped pro ball years ago. Entertainers forget that in order to keep a job as an entertainer one must be entertaining, not annoying. Economics lesson.
We need to help rehabilitate folks until the NFL non-patriotic infection is healed!"
These NFL infections are like an addicting combination of the worst African STD's combined with a DC Swamp brain killing meningitis with new infections every weekend and on Thursday night. That doesn’t include the countless hours of re runs each week before and after each game which re infects the NFL victims even on non game days.

Looks like all sports are going to be dead..
The left wants that.. sports are not fair..

I say the fans of those teams should come to the game as Empty Seats.
Their agents should be screaming at them until their ears bleed that these “hey, look at me” tantrums are going to cost them money, average several hundred thousand per player. They are stupid.
Watch for the NFL's bottom line to increase. Watch the absolute positive bounce the NFL gets from all the people who hate Trump just to see the players kneel.
By the end of the season, the NFL is going to do the same tricks the WNBA does to hide its lack of attendance.
