To NFL millionaires on Thanksgiving, be thankful and get off your knees already
Fox News ^ | Nov. 23, 2017 | Kathy Barnette

On this Thanksgiving, I would like to address an open letter to the multimillionaire National Football League players who continue to take a knee when “The Star-Spangled Banner” is played. Dear kneeling brothers, As a proud Army veteran, mom and black American, I thank God that I live in the greatest nation on Earth. For me, Thanksgiving doesn’t just come once a year. I’m thankful 365 days a year. I recommend you take the same attitude, to appreciate the many blessings you enjoy.

Sadly, this beautiful woman will have a hard time finding a job in broadcasting if she ever leaves Fox News.

NFL viewers views are not appreciated or respected, so many have turned off the sport. Voters views are not appreciated or respected, so turn off CNN.

The NFL is dead to me. I will take my family to College and High School football as long as they respect our Flag and Anthem. The DemocRAT Polititians don’t

We are winning big time! Fox must be losing so much money and hemorrhaging national felon league game viewers by the millions so badly they are now reduced to pleading with, chiding, and begging the ungrateful, hateful nfl thugs to get up off their knees.

It's too late. We are never coming back or watching again because we now know the national felon league and their players HATE America and DESPISE/HATE their fan base.

The nfl chose poorly, and is reaping what they have sown: too bad, so sad.
