We’re risking everything.


Yes, and the irony is because it is based on a lie.

If these roided out thugs are serious, they should be willing to sacrifice what American patriots in the past and present are ready to lose: our homes, our treasure and our very lives.

Yes - it is totally disrespecting the flag and America you dumb ass.

+++++

Still, Vaccaro is sympathetic to the flag. He and nearly everyone else who has sat or kneeled has stated they are not doing so to disrespect the flag.

“I don’t think everybody believes that we’re trying to disrespect (the anthem).” Not yet, but keep poking that hornets nest and the numbers will go up. Just stand up and put your right hand over your heart. None of this kneeling before or after the Anthem and no locking arms and singing kumbaya.

They are basically saying “F You” to anyone who voted for Trump.

Taking a knee should only be done in prayer to safeguard the players during the game. Taking a knee before the anthem is reprehensible as is locking arms while standing. In this nation of the free and home of the brave one stands at attention with right hand over the heart during the playing of the anthem.

Boo-hoo, you spit on your bosses(the fans) and they spit back. You are not royalty.

Been rooting for the Saints for a while - moved to S. MS with the AF in ‘86 and stayed - but it doesn’t matter what they do because I won’t watch another NFL/ESPN production for a minimum of a year; and longer if they don’t get their act together. Coaches/owners “staying out of the way” just encourages the riff-raff to think they run the show - which they do when management cowers before them.

"which came after President Donald Trump said any player who kneeled during the anthem to protest racial inequality was a “son of a bitch.”

That's not what he said.

He says he wants to represent both sides. Sorry. Can’t. Pick one and live with your choice. That’s called being responsible.

If Kenny would support “social justice” by sending me his money then he wouldn’t have to risk anything at all!

Grade school, high school and college, and he is just learning that actions have consequences. Not to mention that people who don't agree with you about very important things will tell you in no uncertain terms about it.

Maybe he can apply all of that education to the work his foundation is supposed to do.

NFL coddled stars - another group of people suffering from an epidemic of Chronic Rectal Cranial Inversion (CRCI). And don't try to have an intervention for these people - they have to WANT to pull their head out of their .... ya know.
