Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver Mike Evans, who starred at Texas A&M and Galveston Ball High School, took a knee during the National Anthem before Sunday's game, but he didn't do it for the same reason as some other players in the NFL.

Evans explained after the game that he kneeled during the anthem for the first time this season because Donald Trump has been elected president.

My 3 go to veggies. Belgian Endive, Green Beans and ARTICHOKES!!!! Thanks man. Love Love Love Artichokes. Other than the traditional hearts quartered into paella, my favorite way is to snip off the pricks after taking off the hardest “leaves” then open and scrape out the choke, and boil for 35 minutes. Melt a half stick of butter, add Worcestershire sauce and garlic powder (Yes powder) and then dip and scrape the leaves with your teeth. The heart and stem are just heavenly as well. Scumdillyicious.

Thanks for giving us this tasty tasty cactusy flowery taste treat.

Another American who doesn't believe in free elections.
He should go south across our borders to ALL those countries south that feel the same way.

Hmmmm. From the way it reads, he’ll be able to stand again after January 20th. Tump will be the PRESIDENT, not just President-elect.

He’s a Wide Receiver for Tampa Bay. QB Winston threw to him five times, he caught four, for a total of 66 yards for the day. Not exactly stellar.

He needs to grow up.

He's already done whatever growing up that he could do.
He has OBVIOUSLY been hit in the head far too often and has LOST whatever cognitive ability he ever had.

.

Reminds me of a few FReepers.

Yet ANOTHER reason to pull against Tampa Bay. Don’t know WHAT I’d do if San Fran plays TB. Probably better to just not watch.

Hey NFL: This is why I don’t watch your rotten games, view the ads, or listen to the pregame & post game blather. Suck it up, buttercup!

No no you got it wrong, this type of stuff should be encouraged. Let the leftist NFL sink lower down the tunes and teach these spoiled people about economics.

Maybe they could all hold up signs so anyone still watching can figure out what the meatheads are protesting now

I don’t get why they kneel - this “taking a knee” thing. You kneel when you pray, NOT when you protest. How did that ever catch on?

They're fools.

It's that simple.
