The Jacksonville Jaguars plan to take a knee before the national anthem is played prior to their game at the New York Jets on Sunday. Players say in a statement that ''every one of us'' will ''kneel to pray for change, progress and equality for everyone who calls the United States their home.''

They can’t get anyone to watch them any way
Dumb jocks who resent the term choose to reinforce it.
To Hell with the Jagwads and their America-hating owner.
The networks will protect the NFL and their investment in same by not showing any of it.
We do thank them for warning us in advance. It’s a great day for being outside here in SC.
Two knees would be more appropriate. Facing Mecca.
Linked arms during the anthem is still making a political statement during the anthem. Just because it is a soft-focus, feel-good, touchy-feely statement does not change the fact that it is politicizing the anthem and the flag.
The only acceptable thing to do is approach the anthem in the traditional way and pay respect to the flag, and make no other statement or gesture. Just like it says in the rule-book, and just like we all learned to do in Little League.
‘’every one of us’’ will ‘’kneel to pray for change,
YOU CAN’T PRAY on the Field and you should be Immediately Banned from the League for doing so. See Tim Tebow.
More to the point though, if you whiney, snivveling little wussy athletes actually believed in the anti American Hate Speech you are spewing, you would walk out on to the field during the Anthem and BURN THE FLAG!, Show the People how much you HATE.
Meanwhile, the Ain’ts who were going to kneel at Wembley today, will now kneel, then stand.
SNORT.
EXACTLY. And we all know that they aren’t kneeling to ‘pray’ anyway. This is just getting uglier by the day. What phonies they are!
Then they should all take minimum wage to play a game and give the rest to the poor so we can all be equal.
The fans that do go should boo loudly during and kneeling.
Any NFL kneelers should go play in Cuba with Castro and Commie Kaepernick.
Why don’t the Jags do the full a-hole Monty?
That would be kneeling at the start of the Anthem, and then rising in unison with clenched Black Power Salute closed fists.
>>Players say in a statement that ‘’every one of us’’ will ‘’kneel to pray for change, progress and equality for everyone who calls the United States their home.’’
Will Shad Khan face Mecca, where his rock idol sits when he prays?
>>YOU CAN’T PRAY on the Field and you should be Immediately Banned from the League for doing so. See Tim Tebow.
You can’t pray to the true God on the field. You can pray to the idols of greed, Humanism, and islam.
Kneel to pray? I thought that was bad. I guess only when a white Christian does it.
Pound sand, NFL
Last week they took a knee to disrespect the American Flag and the country.
Now that since that has backfired. These idiots are trying to convince the fans they are kneeling in prayer for our country. Nice way to spin their protest. Although I remember the very same media attacking Tim Tebow for praying. Yet the rat media is trying to sell us this.
Roger Goodell is a complete idiot. If he had any sense, then he would not let the players politicize the sport. The NFL should be entertainment that brings our country together. Hence, why we do the National Anthem before the game.
What a shame and Roger Goodell has single highhandedly killed off a once great pasttime that we all enjoyed. Word on the web is the NFL has been pressured by Obama’s Justice Department to politicize or face lawsuits from the concussions of former players and paid bounties to some of the NFL players to drop balls on critical games. I don’t know if it’s true, but that would explain it.
Speaking of the team from New Orleans, Adrian Peterson is a child beater.
