Go ahead and send it out to all the NFL players. Let us know what kind of response you get.

These NFL player either do not know just how offensive this kneeling is to people who took the oath and went into harms way under that flag. Or they do know how offensive it is and just get a vicarious thrill insulting people they really hate. Either way in the final analysis they are entertainers. If the totality of their act ends up alienating paying customers and costs their employers money, then their services will be in less demand.

“Assuming that this is also obvious to you and the protest organizers, why are you not doing this?”

Giving this President a black eye is what it's about... KNOWING he can't easily respond to them directly without descending to THEIR level.

They get to bait him and take their cheap shot at the administration and HIM personally... because the MSM is complicit and the Liberal voter base is too f’n stupid to see it for what it is.

A football game is an entertainment event. The football player are entertainers.

The paying crowd is paying be ENTERTAINED - not to be insulted.

You want to protest??? - doing it on YOUR OWN TIME.

Good ideas
Something to add
These brave sportsmen could request to ride along with police and actually observe them doing their jobs
It could become a League program

It's not about protesting at all.

It's about players trying to convert themselves into "brands."

They will know that they succeeded when they are known by only their first names.

They were protesting the national anthem. They may claim to have been protesting something else but all they accomplished was proving themselves to be anti-American thugs

Those who protest or support it. Should be asked why they support the murders of innocent non blacks unnicently passing through the “hood” by members of black gangs retaliating for the murder of Obama’s “son” or the murders of police officers later .

This kneeling thing was mindless performance art designed by these leftist jerks, and enabled by the liberal elite and its slobbering media lapdogs, to insult us to our faces by committing an act of calculated disrespect to our country and to the Normal Americans who built it, feed it, and protect it.

They wanted to rub our faces in their contempt, to laugh at us as we had to endure it, humiliated by our own powerlessness. We were supposed to just sit there and take it. We are never supposed to use our own power to fight back.

That it’s not about hating America, but is about police fairness is a flat out Lie.

Peter Peckerneck, or what ever his name is made that very clear at the outset.

They only changed their story when people starting getting more and more upset.

Liberals Lie, that’s pretty much all they do...

You asked for comments so here is mine.

I don’t accept the premise that the American flag
represents racist cops. We can debate which cops and
which actions are racist but there was a war and civil
rights conflicts which settled which side our flag is on.

Does anybody think that those fans who pay hundreds of
dollars for tickets and team gear glorifying black
players on predominantly black teams are also big
fans of racist cops? Why must the players insult those
fans by disrespecting the flag they honor? Instead,
why don’t they invite those fans to protest with them
at the courthouse or police station?

An Important Message to Those Who Protest During the National Anthem:

The football players probably committed their act of disrespecting the flag not on the basis of any lengthy soul-searching / serious reflection.

Rather, they did it because they were advised to do so by "friends" who couldn't care less about the repercussions to their careers.

Regards,
