That’s what I expect, the “arms linked in unity” dodge.

Fake news. There is no MASSIVE outrage. The MSM told me so!

Will they be locking arms or putting their hand over their chest.
Locking arms is a form of protests.

IT still implies that the U.S. is a racist nation, while the Flag and the Anthem should be the focus.

I am not a racist, but I’m getting so sick of being accused of it, that I realize I might just as well be one.

LOL. Yes, precisely. Although I hear the kneelers enjoy Gay Felon Yogurt.

If they lock their arms in some form of unity stance, it’s going to piss folks off even more.

They need to stand as individuals, with helmets in their left hands and their right hands over their hearts. No deviation permitted.

I hope nobody capitulates on their position to NOT support the team.

They made their position very clear. Multiple players and others stated their disrespectful, hurtful, anti-American, anti-Patriotic and counterproductive positions clearly and repeatedly. Even though logic and knowledge is totally absent from their reasoning process, they still made it completely clear what their thinking is.

To go back on it now is ridiculous, and is obviously and totally motivated by financial considerations, mainly personal.

  NFL = National Football League
NFL = National Felon League
NFL = Not For Long
NFL = No Fans Left



Youtube:    Pittsburgh fan, viral  "Done with NFL,  3:18
"............... Pittsburgh Steelers fan—who said his name is Robert L. Williams, a master electrician from Texas, said he’s “done with the NFL.”

He took out “a $450 leather jacket” with the Steelers logo on the back. “Watch me burn it,” Williams stated. He also took out his hats and sweaters.

“My great uncle’s bones are lying in the bones of Pearl Harbor,” Williams added. “You do not disrespect the flag and the country, and the Constitution, and why we have our freedoms,” he said. “So watch this stuff burn.”?.............



 Worth repeating online message:

When my president lied to me and claimed 4 of my comrades were murdered because of a video insulting Muslims...I didn't take a knee.

When my president shipped pallets of cash to my sworn enemy...I didn't take a knee.

When my president failed to identify Muslims as terrorists and Islam as an enemy of the state...I didn't take a knee.

When my president claimed that a man who tried to kill another man who lawfully defended himself could be his son...I didn't take a knee.

When my president defended a thug who bum rushed law enforcement...I didn't take a knee.

When my president ordered businesses to spend unnecessary funds to appease a minority of people who need mental intervention far more than they need their own toilet...I didn't take a knee.

When my president ordered that words 'one nation under God' be removed from the pledge of allegiance...I didn't take a knee.

When my president lied to me and said I could keep my doctors and my premiums would go down...I didn't take a knee.

When my president spent my tax dollars in foreign lands to interfere in their elections...I didn't take a knee.

While my president sat by passively and enabled ISIS to emerge as a stronger force dedicated to spreading Islamic ideals by committing murder, rape and torture...I didn't take a knee.

When my president allowed dictators and murderers to violate his red lines and continue to murder women and children with chemical gas...I didn't take a knee.

When my president chastised law enforcement for their actions but ignored the violence in our streets...I didn't take a knee.

When my president identified the weather as the greatest threat to America's safety while Muslims worldwide are murdering innocent people...I didn't take a knee.

While my president's insistence that pacifism and reform in numerous areas of the globe would bring peace but instead led to the strengthening of those that seek to destroy us...I didn't take a knee.

When the election of my president broke barriers never thought possible in America ended up being the high point of his eight years in office...I didn't take a knee.

In all that time I never disrespected our Country, our Armed Forces and Veterans, or our Nation. I remained vigilant. And I got a new president...... #maga

It no longer matters what they do.

Everybody knows who they are.

Good, now they can be attacked, and rightly so, for being a bunch of thug morons who have no principles and probably had no idea what they were “protesting” in the first place. They’re slaves to public opinion and social media. Losers.

Stand up straight, hand over heart, anything less is disrespectful including locking arms with teammates.

You can’t reheat a soufflé - you can’t unscramble an egg. You build a spiderweb of trust but once it’s torn just repairing it doesn’t make the web new.
