(Major facepalm)

When are these useful idiots going to get it they are being used by the left and the enemedia to advance a lie????

The political statement he believes so much in risking his career, is based on nothing but lies. The massive backlash from social medias, proves Americans of all colors are coming to the defense of the flag and national anthem and don’t believe in these lies.

It’s so sad to see how bad these players have been duped but that’s our sick culture brought to you by the entertainment industry, our educations system, the enemedia, the sports enemedia, etc.

Dixie Chicks Effect. Any citizen has the First Amendment right to say what they want and not be dragged off in the middle of the night by jack-booted thugs from the government. It does not, however, protect the citizen from the consequences of that speech.

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

“People were complaining about the platform we’re using,” Vaccaro said. “That’s the only platform that’s going to get attention.....”

Hm - how about billboards (especially near the stadium), TV and internet ads to run during the game, a PSA that could be broadcast on TV and the in-stadium AV system, radio ads...

Oh, wait, he’d have to pay for those and he thought doing this would be ‘free.’

“You understand what happened with Kaepernick?” safety Kenny Vaccaro told The Advocate on Friday...

Wasn't he like 1-10 as a starter last season...3-5 the season before? Do you think the fact that he completely sucks as a QB might have some additional bearing on his current employment status...aside from his being a complete scumbag of course...

He was mediocre at best, yet demanded a Bradyesque salary. Throw in the baggage, and it is no surprise he is not playing.

I know of a player who was brought up in less than ideal circumstances. He overcame much adversity and by the time his college playing time arrived his character was as such it earned him a nickname while at University of Tennessee which stuck throughout his career. He was called the "Minister of Defense".

Reggie Whites athletic accomplishments were great. He never encouraged the "Victim" mentality on or off the field but rather encouraged those whom looked up to him to live lives right before GOD and give their best efforts in their own lives and circumstance. Reggie White by the time he played college ball was an ordained Minister of The Gospel. He understood where the problems lie and he addressed them. The knees he took were in his church to His Lord. The proper place and proper time. I do wonder how many pro-players taking knees had ridiculed Tebow for kneeling to GOD?

Remember, its a free society, there are plenty of people who want to play ball, many better than the brats currently on the field!

That narrative has been changing every day since this Shiite started. They’ve boxed in themselves AND their owners. They keep digging and digging and have no clue how to escape this issue that THEY started.

And, the more they dig, the worse it gets (for them). Too bad, so sad. Couldn’t happen to a nicer group of marxists.

Die National Felon League, die.

It's the same as peeing on the flag and saying you're not disrespecting it.

In order for Freedom of Speech to work, a person has to be smart enough to know the difference between what they CAN say and what they SHOULD say.

You ignorant F&CK...you are entertainment...and entertainment only. You are paid to entertain those who want to watch you do what you do. No one cares about your causes except your frickin' agent and your wife, if you have one.

Dance the way the fans expect you to dance or take a frickin' hike and sell insurance like all the others who could not or would not dance for "American: football fans.

Just stand at respectful attention to the Flag during the Anthem. Hand over heart, back straight, chin up looking at the flag.

I’m never coming back to the NFL over your actions against our Vets and country but you might be able to hang on to some fans and bring some back if you just show respect.

When it comes to the flag and our country, you can’t please two masters. Pick your side.
