Protests over racial inequality, centered on the national anthem, cropped up across the league on Sunday, following comments made by President Donald Trump on Friday night. In light of incendiary comments made by the President, players on every team in the NFL opted to demonstrate during the anthem. Some teams, such as the Pittsburgh Steelers and Seattle Seahawks, opted not to take the field at all during what has become a pregame tradition...

A demonstration of what exactly?
These children linked arms, kneeled and said some slogans about unity.
Its like some bizarre meaningless tribal dance.

Screw the NFL. Screw the NBA. Who needs these people? College ball is so much more fun.
I’m tired of semi-literate movie stars and/or pro athletes telling me what they think.
I’ve boycotted all of them for years, and there is no hole in my life.
Since we are all being accused of racism and being complicit in police brutality anyway, I am piling on, doubling down, and will compare these overpaid, spoiled brat athletes to pouting, whiney, menstruating 8th grade girls. Shut up, stand up, pull up your panties, and play ball. You can pout and protest all you want without those fat paychecks. Putzes.
Those guys are better behaved. (I oughta know.)
OK you jackasses (owners and Goodell included), let’s see how smart you feel next weekend when there are even fewer butts in the seats, buying your crazily priced beer and other condiments and paying your nutso prices to park.
MLB needed several years of being sweet to the fans followed by a lucky home run race between Sammy Sosa and Mark McGuire, remember, the fake bats vs. the drugs. I still have friends who have never gone back since 1994.
They can do what they want since people are moving on from their anti-America protests. Most go to sports to be entertained rather than being preached at.

Exactly!
God works in mysterious ways. Perhaps we needed to be shaken free from this unworthy idol.
No, they dishonored the police!
Boycott NFL football.
David Helman, DallasCowboys.com staff writer must be looking for a promotion to a Fake News organization.
He’s honing his skills at putting out the anti-Trump party line.
Jerry Jones is supposedly pissed at Roger Goodell over a suspension of one of his gang of criminals. They'll be photo-op'ed drinking wine with their arms entwined before long. Solidarity means, they're trying to save their common gravy train. Won't work.
Scum. All are scum.
