He’s telling it like it is, and people hate it because he’s right. The intellect of today’s society is absurd and it takes months if not years down the line for them to see the reality of it.

He’s practically saying if you stick your hand in the fire, you’re gonna get burned, but apparently a lot of people like to just keep their hand in the fire till they can’t take it anymore. Dumb.

Maybe it is because they are ex cons or felons.. They don’t want to be shot by police. What I say is if you don’t want to be shot by police then do as they order.. If they say freeze then freeze. If they say get down on your belly then do it. Don’t argue with them, don’t fight with them and don’t make any sudden moves..

Each and every owner, player and coach should be forced to watch this until everyone of them comes to an understanding of what it means.

Surprised that Bradshaw wasn’t smart enough to at least be neutral or sort of don’t ask, don’t tell. Maybe it’s the TCE....

I ran a quick Excel sheet - looked at 2014 vs 2016 (not enough data in 2017). Looks like attendance down overall by 2% over that time period.

What I would do is when the announcer says please stand for the National Anthem, I would wait 15 seconds to allow the rich naggers to kneel. I would then play the national anthem of Cuba or North Korea or Venezuela or Kenya. Then after the naggers are so confused I would announce they just kneeled in opposition to ... Then I would play the USA National Anthem.

BAWAHAHA!!! Just read the Pittsburgh KNEELERS just lost!!! That name is going to stick to the team like super glue!!!

Except they didn't kneel. They were too chicken shit for that. They hid in their locker room like scared toddlers as the National Anthem played. They can all drop dead.

Except for the one Steeler who came out and showed respect to our anthem and flag.

God bless that man!

I boycotted everything NFL today. Terry has brain Injuries from getting hit in the head too many Times,and it shows. He used to be funny,now he is just pathetic. There is no reason to watch this sad circus of hasbeens and wannabes. They are boring and very egotistical.

Found this from a facebook post on the New York Post page, very excellent response:

“They found Tebow praying offensive, they didn’t allow players to wear a decal honoring the slain Dallas officers. They didn’t allow players to wear 9/11 cleats in honor of the victims but they allow this. Let that sink in.”

These NFL shove-in-your-face protests are getting out of hand and quite childish just to prove their point.

The problem is, what is their point? It's the Democrats who run the cities where blacks are being gunned down, and they're protesting against President Trump and everyone but the Democrats.

Trump doesn't care about the NFL. He owned USFL team in 80’s and got Super Bowl ring from Kraft last year. Players are just workers. Old saying, “ Don't get even, be vindictive.” Who does Trump hate the most? Why the media! He is dog whistling his base not watch the games. What does that do? Drives down viewership. That drives down ad revenue. They call him names and spread lies. He weaponizes his base and their revenues go down. Talk about being vindictive! Gotta love Trump.

Locked arms mean “solidarity” with the kneelers, or as I see it, those too cowardly to commit to whichever cause they supposedly espouse, so (like “moderates”) they pretend they can have it both ways. Which is actually worse than the kneelers themselves IMO.

Remember those are NFL attendance figures. Actual warm bodies in the stands is different than their attendance figures which are basically “tickets sold” stats. Lots of those are empty seats owned by agencies, corporations and scalpers/brokers.

Keep in mind that NFL players are all union members, and the more radical the president of the union then the more radical the protests.

And the fact that so few of these admittedly great athletes have any military service just screams for a leftist answer from them.

Alejandro Villanueva was the lone Steelers player to come out during the national anthem. I believe that he was Army Ranger.

They tweeted out a statement, supporting players taking the knee.
