And what are they "protesting", exactly?
Oh, that's right - the cops are shooting innocent black men in cold blood. Sure.
Even the Washington Post had to admit the truth:
‘Hands up, don’t shoot’ was built on a lie

“Turn off the NFL,” reads a digital ad produced by the nonprofit America First Policies, which planned to begin spreading the message on social media Sunday afternoon.
A political group with close ties to President Donald Trump is amplifying his attack on professional athletes who kneel during the national anthem as a form of protest.
“Turn off the NFL,” reads a digital ad produced by the nonprofit America First Policies, which planned to begin spreading the message on social media Sunday afternoon.
The ad includes a photo with Trump, hand over his heart, and a #TakeAStandNotAKnee hashtag. It follows Trump’s recent remarks, first delivered during a Friday night speech in Alabama, aimed at football players who have protested police brutality and other causes.
While campaigning for Luther Strange, who is locked in a tough Republican primary to keep the Alabama Senate seat he was appointed to earlier this year, Trump asked those in the audience if they would "love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, 'get that son of a bitch off the field right now.'" He added that such players should be fired.
Trump continued the attack over the weekend on Twitter.
“If a player wants the privilege of making millions of dollars in the NFL, or other leagues, he or she should not be allowed to disrespect … our Great American Flag (or Country) and should stand for the National Anthem,” Trump posted in a series of tweets. "If not, YOU'RE FIRED. Find something else to do!”
NFL team owners and players reacted strongly and disapprovingly to Trump’s push.

Why not punish the kneelers’ sponsors or sponsored products.
Boycott of all NFL sponsors punishes the good guys too.

I see your point but tough $hit. They should no longer have anything to do with the NFL.
I spent today cleaning kitchen cupboards & re-organizing closets.
I will spend next Sunday cleaning & oiling 4 saddles.
The following Sunday I will re-organize the garage.
I will find something else to do on Sunday’s—and I won’t be watching the NFL.
Sorry I missed today’s Packer game, as I understand that Rodgers pulled out another win in Overtime....good for them. I will bet without seeing the video clips that Lambeau Field was full-—not the empty seats in other stadiums such as the 49er’s.
Americans will protest with their attendance & their viewing & their pocketbooks for NFL merchandise. A boycott can really hurt—and the stadiums are already not full.—except for Green Bay.
See thread on FR # 3588647 & read what NASCAR team owners said about these ‘protests’.
Exactly and proudly stand with you and all others in our Military Family! So proud of the many against this outrageous disrespect of our Flag and Country and those that have served to protect US!
God Bless You!
God Bless America!
United We Stand!
“The NFL is dead to me as of today. We won’t speak of it in my house.”
It’s banned entirely as of today in my house.
Not one cent, not one minute.
Thank you for posting that. I just sent that link - and Senior Airman Brian Kolfage's comments to Kaepernick - to everyone I know.
Boycotting television coverage will be noticed immediately.
Letters to your editors will help spread word of our displeasure of the NFL and our boycott.
Me too Captain......we must make a stand.
He spoke for us!!! I am offended no matter
WHO or WHAT color the person’s skin is
that defaces our flag!!
If a Nazi group had
done this the outrage would have been
horrendous and rightfully SO!!!!
We cannot let this go on. We must
stand tall against this evil!!
how about a link?
These BLM millionaires are ruining the NFL.
Yes!! Great suggestion!

The NFL is at war with a sizable segment of their fans.
This won’t end well for the NFL

Watch soccer,
Last 3 World Cup champions,
Germany, Spain and Italy.
Watch Manchester City destroy every team they play.
Consider it done...
