Smells like panic. They have to have a crisis meeting on whether to respect the nation? Tone deaf.

Did the NFL groupies think they outnumbered American patriots?

Can they be this stupid?

Let them KNELL, and watch the seams rip apart. Would love to see some fancy salaries cut.

I’m fairly certain that for many patriots there is no re-crossing of the Rubicon with these anti-Americans.

The Packers and Bears both stood and locked arms tonight. This according to news reports. NOT watching! Goodell has got to go.

Notice they didn’t get input from fans. The don’t seem to know who pays their salaries.

Hilarious. McCourty talking about social injustice. McCourty went to St. Joe’s Regional in Montvale, NJ, hardly the inner city. Got a full ride to Rutgers and a #1 NFL pick. So the only injustice this little pri*k has seen is Belichick yelling at him in training camp. These guys are so God awful stupid it defies logic.

That’s right. These leftist AH’s made they’re bed. They wanted to go public with their in-your-face political crap.

We all know what they’re about now. Typical wealthy self important pampered celebrities. Gak~

“I think we gotta make sure this whole thing doesn’t turn into the NFL vs. Donald Trump,” said a player.

It is the NFL vs. America in the eyes of most Americans, you out of touch idiot.

I’m sure they’ve been having one continuous “crisis meeting” since Friday night.

“It was a whole bunch of opinions shared,” Casillas said. “There was nothing we decided we’re going to do collectively. I think it was a very conducive meeting.”

con·du·cive
kənˈd(y)o͞osiv
adjective
making a certain situation or outcome likely or possible.

Hmmmm.....conducive to what, exactly, or are you just using a word with a meaning you do not understand?

I said this Tuesday morning. “It’s over. Jerry Jones taking a knee was the encore performance.”

This will be out of the news after the next Monday night game.
