Who will they blame when the money dries up ?

[artichokegrower]

I’m busy in my garage counterfeiting NFL gear. Will be selling it on eBay. No respect for America, no respect for American rule of law, look out I’m going to profit off of whatever your franchise may offer.

[ealgeone]

They continue to divide themselves from America.

Chiefs 31 - Texans 7.

You are not going to believe this but I have been watching an episode or 2 of THE RIFLEMAN recently.

One walks away at the end feeling good.

Thanks, peggybac! To everyone reading this, the game is at Arrowhead Stadium. I wonder if many Chiefs fans will continue to load up on Chiefs themed clothing and watch the games.

“NFL fans who were able to attend the opening game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans to start the 2020 season on Thursday appeared to boo the teams’ moment of unity at midfield prior to the coin toss.”

[Karl Spooner]

Good for the Texans.

Why do you say that? They didn't show up for the real national anthem either.

[Fiji Hill]

This might also make a good white national anthem.

Vast Country, My Homeland

BOYCOTT!!!

[hercuroc]

And as you’re sitting in the stadium a large sign in front of you says “We Believe black Lives Matter” Lol

So what happens to a player who takes a knee during the black national anthem?

Probably gets the hell beat out of him. On the field of course.

[Seaplaner]

Good for the Texans.

Respectfully, my FRiend, I do not agree.

The Texans stayed in the locker room not because they respected our Flag and fantastic National Anthem...

They cowered because they chose to hide the truth on how many of their millionaires hate this wonderful country and the former fans who once thought that the NFL was part of our national fabric.

On a larger scale, it's not enough to avoid NFL games on the telly, we need to learn just who are their sponsors and to publish this information and to make informed decisions on who to avoid for purchases of any kind.

And Roger Goodell fined players a few years ago for wearing these

"The Chiefs who kneeled spoke for their team and owner."

The following was insulting, too.

"Most Chiefs players stood, locking arms on the sideline for the national anthem."

I stood at attention in formations many times while saluting our flag during the Anthem. I spent the rest of my time in service far more tired, dirty and owned than football players.

Watching Have Gun Will Travel and The Ed Sullivan Show here.

"Good for the Texans."

According to Fox News, they protested against our National Anthem by staying in their locker room during the playing of the National Anthem.

The one few remaining things I liked about Houston has just been flushed down the ©r@pper. This is a sad day

[A_Former_Democrat]

I liked the blackmail episode with Wm Shatner and the weak Texas accent

[elcid1970]

Hockeyfights.com and women’s beach volleyball are all the sports I watch anymore.

Speed up the hockey fights (screw the NHL) and slow down the women’s volleyball (very screwable).

Chiefs 34 - Texans 20. Final score.
