Someone let me know when all players are standing, with hands over their hearts and helmets off, for the National Anthem, and maybe I’ll tune back in.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Just like as stated in NFL rules book for game operations.

Gee, will whatever 3-letter network is covering that game, show the whole team standing during the National Anthem?

It’s over.

They just don’t see it yet.

Stand. Sit. Jerk off.

I. Don’t. Care.

Over. Done.

Shaming works.

But it is a double-edged sword. Depends upon which can shame the miscreants more, those who are against the unwanted activity, or those who are in favor of doubling down on the bad behavior.

Lead, follow, or get the H*ll out of the way. But sometimes the followers get led far astray.

They think fans are not going to walk away.

That only the left has the moral high ground and political will.

Oh how nice of these pricks, after getting their arm twisted, they are going to stand for our National Anthem, something that someone with an IQ of 5 would know automatically to do but these multimillionaires who throw footballs for a living have to be TOLD to stand..they mind as well be saying “OK OK I’ll stand are you happy now!”

“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.”

Exactly, told my wife that after the first few years of the halfrican sob.

Translation: we’re losing money over this.

Ask JCPenny about choosing poorly.

As far as I can tell, I don’t think the black players are doing this, except for one reason, to show defiance. It has to do with black “pride”. It is a way to say ____ you to authority. It is along the same vein as wearing a hoody, having pants that hang down to the knees, listening to rap that tells them to kill pigs etc., and having many kids out of wedlock to prove how much of a man you are. I think that this is their way of proving how black they are and how that they are no one’s “Uncle Tom”. It’s an identity thing.

This is why they will not want to stand and hold their hand over their heart for the National Anthem and our Flag. They have steeped themselves in the spirit of defiance.

I know Pouncey and his twin brother and this does my heart a world of good. Should never have come to this, though!

I am going to watch the first 5 minutes of tonights game...just to see what goes on.
But then I’ll move along, the magic has died after a long illness.
RIP NFL

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

I still don’t think they have a freakin clue.

Exactly right.

What I see with the locked arms is support for thugs like Trevon Martin and Michael Brown.

I was a lifelong hard-spending JC Penney customer before they went for “I have two mommies”.

Too late now.

Fatal error.

Bye bye.

I haven’t been watching for years, so I’m one to talk...

It would take me a while to come back, if I had been watching.
