You show up = you are kneeling next to them.

Needs repeating.

McNair is a weak owner. He should have never apologized. Texan’s attendance is going down, despite De Shaun Watson.

Was Watson a kneeler? Sad if so as I’m a Clemson fan.

When there’s college football, who needs the NFL.

And actually, that’s how most people thought about football until the 1970s, we’re going “Back to the Future”.

Of course, College Football has their own issues, as well.

The owners should cancel the damn Christmas party in response.

Lol, that was great, as was the line where the girl says she is studying primitive cultures, or something along those lines.

If the US is so awful, and there is so much white privilege, then perhaps it is time to separate and let blacks have their very own country. Then they can create this black-run utopia that they think is rightfully theirs.

Anyone who would go to an NFL game at this point is scum.

These idiot protestors. The only thing they are accomplishing is splitting this country racially. I guess they think the time is ripe to enslave whitey.

If this doesn’t stop it is going to end very badly for a lot of good, innocent people, most of whom will be black.

Before a game with two starting QB’s that happen to be black.

...players won’t be tapped to do commercials...

Yes, if a player hawking a product turns out to be an America-hating, anti-veteran ignorant low-life then we have choices when we buy insurance, pizza, yogurt, you-name it. Advertisers presumably know this.

I haven’t watched a game all season even before JJ got hurt and after this display, I’ll NEVER watch another Texans game..........EVER!!! Now Rev. Jesse is saying owners are running their teams like slave and master. What a sorry POS!!! FIRE ALL WHO KNEEL>>>>>>cut them off at the knees.......;) Damn idiots!!

Roger that.
Worked so well in Africa when the Euro-colonialists left. Can't feed themselves, can't stop slaughtering each other (which we've gotten pretty good at too, but we can at least grow our own food....)

Spit on your country, flag, anthem, military, cops and anyone else who served because you are mad at your team owner? Typically stupid. But it doesnt matter to me, I am a recovered NFL fan who could not care less now. And when are we going to say out loud this is racial since almost every protester is black?

“The players that remained standing were: LB Brian Peters, P Shane Lechler, long snapper Jon Weeks, FB Jay Prosch, T Breno Giacomini, C Nick Martin, C Greg Mancz, TE Ryan Griffin, QB Tom Savage G and G Xavier Su’a-Filo, who is of Samoan decent.”

Well, I’m from Houston, couldn’t care less about the Texans and their perpetual average-to-mediocre play, haven’t watched them at all this season, and won’t be watching them at all for as far I can think of because of this.

I hope this will finally dissuade a lot of Houstonians from their idiotic football obsession and get them to finally pay attention to the best baseball team we’ve ever had and a basketball team that at least has some decent potential.

Disgusting.

Yes, apparently every dark skinned player and one light skinned player knelt. (They’re not BLACK, like the text on this screen is). Frankly, it’s a great reason for me to sell off my PSL’s.

My wife and I went with a friend to a hockey game Friday night in my hometown of Macon, Georgia and both teams stood for the national anthem. Interestingly enough, some of the players for the Macon team were foreigners(Canada,Estonia, Lithuania). And yet,”American” football players won’t stand for the national anthemn.

The worst part is the Jacksonville and Baltimore teams standing for the British anthem in London and kneeling for our own there on foreign soil. Unforgivable for me. But I live in GA too and have washed my hands of the Falcons after 50 years of enjoying their occasional win and putting up with their many losses.

college football does have a lot of problems, that is true...

even men's college basketball...

but if you can find a good women's college basketball team to follow, its great...the girls generally are wholesome and nice, play team ball, and no attitude...
