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...
In the moments before the singing of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” the full organization briefly dropped to one knee together. After several seconds, they stood and retreated to the sideline for the national anthem.

The NFL multimillionaire brats have no clue. They have spit on America, our flag, our military, and all who were wounded and killed in the line of duty to give these morons the freedoms they take completely for granted.
Go play football in North Korea or some third world craphole like those I fought in as a US Army Combat Infantryman.
No doubt.
It is a special kind of blessing when an increasingly bad habit decides to quit me for a change.
Have all these creative thinkers made a decision about how long they plan to continue these little demonstrations? Will they keep them the same, or provide some variety week to week?
I checked my facts, the shooter was BLM — maybe an outlier, but nonetheless BLM. And even if not BLM, BLM was advocating for violence against cops. So my statement holds as far as I am concerned
I just finally cancelled my Sunday Ticket. Jerry’s kneeling to radicalism and cop-haters just sealed it. The Cowboys were my last hope. Afterwards, I heard that Villaneuava felt compelled to apologize. F’ the a$$holes.
I cannot believe they are killing their product for this. It’s unbelievable.
They’re mad because Trump called them out. The more they resist, the more ridiculous they look. The players are worse than spoiled children. Time to teach the NFL a lesson in manners.
NFL lost THE GAME.
“... going to spread to the colleges ...”
I wonder how much hatred for America athletes will have to demonstrate in order to make the Olympics next time?
Prepare mentally now for the Dreamer Team.
BLM advocated for cop killing, and cops have been ambushed & killed nationwide.
You want confirmation, Captain? There's your confirmation!
Think Univ of Missouri. College administrators may be liberal whores, but they understand money, and Missouri is in the tank. Their football program is garbage, and their enrollment is at 2008 levels. I’ve read where they have closed 6 dorms.
Many of my Yale friends have already stopped giving money to Yale. I’ve stopped giving to my law school. One step like this NFL nonsense and literally thousands of alumni will split. I will.
If NFL Teams want to protest, they should do what the Cowboys did! Kneel before the Anthem but stand when the Anthem is playing

There is no room for protesting during an NFL event. they have tax exempt status as a league we pay their taxes. if you let one guy protest for BLM are they going to let a Christian protest abortion, or a conservative protest unconstitutional gun laws, or a libertarian protest for a national law to legalize weed? Where does it end. They are leftists and communist revolutionaries attacking all the American culture, values and constitutional freedoms. Its not just the anthem issue. This isn’t political speech it is an employee/employer issue. We are the customers if the product sucks we won’t buy it. No politics period.
Hmmm...interesting. Because nobody was kneeling at the Democrat National Convention in Philadelphia last year.
Absolutely disgusting. They have to support one another disrespecting police officers and telling racial lies? They are insane. They all hate Trump? They can go to hell.
Consider it to be no more/no less than the team hiding in the tunnel not knowing if they are in or out. Indecisive twits.
Sorry Doug but most of these players have no interest in helping anyone. They literally don’t care about other peple They could have done it before but they didn’t.
“America’s Team” ? Oh hell no!
Wish they would. What happened to that promise???
You left out Barack Hussein Obama’s photo giving the big FU middle finger to America.
