Protests over racial inequality, centered on the national anthem, cropped up across the league on Sunday, following comments made by President Donald Trump on Friday night. In light of incendiary comments made by the President, players on every team in the NFL opted to demonstrate during the anthem. Some teams, such as the Pittsburgh Steelers and Seattle Seahawks, opted not to take the field at all during what has become a pregame tradition...
In the moments before the singing of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” the full organization briefly dropped to one knee together. After several seconds, they stood and retreated to the sideline for the national anthem.

Maybe never before have I felt a betrayal quite this deep.
This is like that Pearl Harbor, “Yeah..? Well don’t worry about those radar blips...”-statement.
SEETHING.
This one isn’t even worth getting angry about. It’s actually so gay that I wonder if some of the players are menstruating.
I’m just so sick of all of them. They can all drop dead for all I care.
Players on every team opted to protest? Bull.
The media, the NFL and its teams’ tactics are clear: they’re attempting to blame Trump for merely commenting on a situation that was either already weeks old or over a year old depending on your perspective.
Many of them are half way there.
“America’s Team”?
“Africa’s Team”
ROGER STAUBACH ???
Interesting—nothing from ROGER STAUBACH in any of the news headlines yesterday or tonight.
All Jerry Jones and the Cowboys are saying by this display is that they support BLM, the same group that killed those police officers in Dallas. When that happened, the Cowboys wanted to support the police. What happened. Guess the Black hold sway on the Cowboys just like the other teams. That is pathetic. I hope the NFL is destroyed by this. At the very least, the NFL must lose its tax exemption as a non-profit — what BS, a non-profit really. One of the biggest businesses in the country.
This photo..no words.
Douche bag Cowboys take a knee meanwhile many members of our military no longer have legs so they can’t take a knee anymore..want to comment on THAT Jerry Jones?
Still looked stupid. Taking a knee for racism, and BLM is the personification of racism.
You know the NFL has a problem when you have a hard time distinguishing between a bunch of their players on a sideline and a pack of Saruman's Uruk-hai.
It is the absolutely best photograph to illustrate WHY people stand and place their hands over their hearts for the National Anthem. Those who kneel are traitors.
A joint demonstration of what? Stupidity. I finally started watching the Cowboys again last season. I’m done for this season. Bring on my hockey!
I am almost thankful for this whole thing. The NFL and most pro sports in general has slowly each year getting more and more annoying. I am sick of seeing the religion it has all become to American males and now many females. I am tired of the whole thing. This was a nail in the coffin and I am really looking forward to my NFL-free Sundays.
