Through all of it, I think my own question is:
What the hell are they protesting?
The Declaration? The Constitution? The Amendments?
The Flag?
The Anthem?
Military flyovers?
The White majority who have been tarred as unrepentent racists with no redeeming features?
Or is it a diva who was benched and decided to pick scabs?
Injustice? Let’s talk. But let’s talk about BOTH sides views and the reality of facts, not feelings.
Impossible with the left.
I’m switching to Euro soccer.

So we soon to be cooked frogs decided to elect a Big Frog to tell the truth as to what is going on...that if we didn't fight back, we were going to eventually face boiling waters.
Now that the truth is being revealed, the Liberal/Communists are hysterical because their jig is up and they don't have a plan B to fall back on.
The NFL had a choice, support the thugs that hate our nation, or support their fans that love our nation. They choose to side with the thugs.
Regardless on what they do now, it is out there. The people know what they really think of them.
The social contract between sports and fans has been damaged. Sort of like when a spouse is caught cheating. Will the marriage survive? Will the NFL survive?
Perhaps, but not at the same level.
And they are trying to take America with them. The President is trying to stop that. May God be with him.
The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem.
During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.
A scoop I have from a business acquaintance.
He works in an office building where Steelers owner Art Rooney II has an office (his secure, undisclosed location).
For the first time in the nine years this guy has worked there the parking lots to the building were absolutely full yesterday.
Rational conclusion is that all those cars belonged to agents, PR people and spin doctors. And that a DEFCON 1 meeting was taking place in Rooney’s office.
The kneeling players with the backing of the mostly liberal owners have clearly demonstrated the political divide / cultural divide. Their response to a dog whistle puts the liberal social justice movement on the opposite side of the flag, veterans and most Americans in nationally watched events by nearly everyone.
Trump just demonstrated how much liberals hate traditional American values for the public, in a way that a few celebrities bashing him at awards ceremonies doesn’t.
Second, it was a distraction of sorts from his revised immigration ban on mostly Muslim nations whose systems are compromised by Islamic terrorists or refuse to accept deportees.
The man can multi-task, I give him that.
Face it. Blacks have superior athletic abilities so they dominate the NFL and the NBA. Regardless of the money they make, they have a different perspective and if the truth be told bitterly hate and resent white people. The white owners make huge amounts of money with these spectacles, understand the dynamic and accommodate themselves to keep the show going. Hypocrisy abounds. Actually they need each other and will tolerate each other as long as there is money to be made. Oops. A mistake has been made. The consumers who support these spectacles have been insulted and offended. Now there is less money to be made and much time, money effort much be spent on “public relations” and propaganda. Will the show continue? Probably, but not as before.
Trump is bringing to the surface that ANTIFA to the dems to the NFL, Media, celebrities, swamp, Rinos etc are all connected and essentially enemies of democracy.
This is good for the public to see as many cannot figure it out for themselves.
I think this is what it was like prior to the Civil War when people were choosing sides.
One thing I am noticing is that disrespecting the flag seems to offend across all regions and political bent. Some of the loudest booing occurred in the liberal hellhole of Boston.
I’d say this guy is from New York or possibly Boston. There’s no room to doubt how he feels about it.

"Trump has the vast majority of Americans in his corner supporting him and his stance in defending the American flag, The American national anthem, The American culture, The American nation, and most of all the American people."
This is definitely what Trump is defending. I pray that you're right that the vast majority of Americans support him and his stance. I certainly do!
Trump's election proved that the American Heartland is alive, healthy, and ascendant! That alone brought hope and encouragement to all honest Americans. And all honest Americans are solidly behind President Trump.
"Trump has trapped them all, while the overwhelming majority of Americans support the POTUS big time."
If President Trump succeeds in implementing his agenda, he will have been the greatest President in U.S. history: the man who saved the United States from self-destruction.
The criticism of him that I hear reminds me of the hollow criticism of Harry Truman, who proved to be one of America's greatest Presidents.
"shut this "knee" farce down right now..or die on the vine of political correctness"
When the Cowboys were told not to "take a knee" I suddenly became a passionate Cowboy. Today's Drudge Headline ended that abruptly.
HOPING AND PRAYING that the MNF ratings were down like the Sunday night viewership was.
This weekend was a shock as I got home from my early food shopping trip to enjoy the pre-game and (2) 1:00 NY Games. I was so pissed off by the time the games actually kicked off that I only watched the Giants game and then had to thoroughly agitated by watching my favorite player morph from a man into a classless animal.
THEN he had the audacity to brag about being a “dog” and promise that such antics would continue regardless of the negative impact on the team,...helping contribute to yet another loss.
Odell picked the wrong week to jump the shark and I am DONE with the NFL and my beloved Giants. Can’t wait to spend Sunday’s out with the kids and not waste our time watching what used to be a great American game.
All President Trump did was put forth a pro-American agenda. Not really radical in my opinion.
And these institutions went nuts. Tells you all you need to know.
I think the league should put its money and time where its mouth is and start addressing the problems of the black community with mentoring programs, money for supplies & sports couches. Let the players spend a little time with kids at their schools and let them visit training.
Make after school tutoring part of the deal with entry related to improving grades and actually make a difference instead of just posing as SJW and feeling cool. The problem is not the cops.
President Trump is shining the light on the reality of what is wrong with this country. Calling out the perpetrators of the lies fed to Americans daily.
