A modest proposal for NFL fans: Be a flash mob
American Thinker ^ | 9-24-17 | Patricia McCarthy

Posted on 09/24/2017 6:28:34 AM PDT by dynachrome

It would be so satisfying if a group of patriotic fans to have at the ready a flash mob of singers at a stadium game. If the players "take a knee" to show their disdain for the flag and the national anthem, these talented souls would wait until just before the kick-off and then stand up and belt out the national anthem themselves. Chances are hundreds of those in attendance would join them. Then they would exit the stadium.

Better to not buy the ticket in the first place.

The Irony that Kraft’s team is now the UN-PATRIOTS.

True, but the optics would be priceless.

Also might want to strike up the chorus after the game starts and is on live TV.

Lots of tailgaters outside the stadium. They should all play this song on a loud speaker after the national anthem:

Fans inside and outside the stadium should be able to hear it and fans should sing along. That should be our message to the punks.

An empty seat would speak louder.

Don’t expect any heroics from half drunk fans who are addicted to football. Football stadiums have pervasive security. Any disruptions or civil disobedience will be handled quickly and will not be given any coverage.However there will be some erosion of the fan base and viewer audience. Question is how much and how much will it cost the hypocritical owners.Remember these owners must patronize their black players who earn them all that money. Of course after being hit in the head fifty times, these players leave the game not only crippled but will not be able to recall why they took a knee. Owners don’t care or want to know them after they are used up.

Could be. But it is hard to be heard in a stadium. I think the optics of empty stadiums is very impactful. If things continue, going to a game implies you are anti-America.

Another idea,

All those fans that show up and tailgate, just stay at the tailgate. Don’t go in. The owners will get the message.
Maybe.

11% of the population sure does a lot of whining and threatening.

IMO this is all a grand diversion. People are reacting like a cat to a laser.

The travel ban ends today, and I expect the follow up is signed today.

Just saw on Fox News that most of the players kneeled for the National Anthem and stood for ghe British Anthem in the week 3 game in London earlier today.

BOYCOTT THE NFL

So shut the NFL down permanently. It is no longer entertainment and has served it’s usefulness.

Wonder what they players will do for a living now that their career gas ended.
