They hate and disrespect America, the flag and the National Anthem.

The media is making heroes out of those who refuse to stand during the National Anthem.

And it is spreading to young people.

All America haters are hereby asked to leave the country, and to leave behind all the money and benefits they have received from it.

This is also all about driving down future military enrollment.

This is why I absolutely hated organized sports in school. More agenda than anything...

It’s not the sport nor the body. It’s liberal retards behind them.

The moment I saw ‘Kaperdick the fake’ do this the first time, I was expecting a couple kids on the high school level and some coaches on the junior level to push for this.

NFL and the teams did not put an end to this so like all liberal ‘protests’ it’s now spreading like a disease. As a long time NFL fan I’ve pulled the plug on their junk.

The team and the coaches are all black.

If they feel that strong why don’t they do something about the thousands of blacks who are being killed?

We know who is killing the blacks. They know too. They choose to lie about it and blame our government rather than their fellow blacks.

It’s always Blacks — always racists . These folks are resegregating themselves. They are “deplorable” . But here it exploits children . Sickening.

The irony is that kneeling is an inherently more respectful body language than standing. Sitting would manifest much more disrespect.

They don’t even realize it, either. Not that this changes anything, they think they are showing disrespect so their intention counts against them.

However, it is important to point out that these “kneelers” are too dumb to realize that kneeling is a profoundly respectful posture.

to protest violence against black youth

Indoctrination is strong and deep. Of course we don't want to be 'racist' so we will never win this battle.

No doubt the coaches are responsible.

I think a protest against violence by black youth makes more sense.

Just a warning. These people have been raised to hate you from day one. Be ready for the inevitable day when they decide taking a knee isn’t enough.

These are like people in pogrom countries teaching kids from day 1 that all Jews are evil...etc.
