NFL HITLER SALUTE

The NFL Locking Arms Kneeling is now a Hitler salute.

It is mandatory.

It is unwanted.

Raise outstretched arm in unison.

It looks stupid.

Packers trying to pull the same scam...I suspect email went out among owners or players to do damage control.

Trying to legitimize their dissing of the flag and anthem.

This is not how to honor the flag!!!

3 to 1 against locking arms just like it is for taking a knee in the Remington poll. Americans don’t go for this shit.

Ah...okay...but.....what about your plan to win the game ? I think they used to call it a game plan.

Yeah they are trying to hoodwink the fans and patriots by performing an acceptable protest during the anthem that supports black lives matter...

I was in the middle of a project at home this afternoon and realized I needed electrical tape. Got in my truck and drove 5 miles to Home Depot. Continued driving another 8 miles to Ace Hardware where I went inside and bought the electrical tape. I then drove 13 miles back home and finished the project. Screw em.

Why not? THEY’RE THE ONE’S RAISING THEM. And WHY are females raising their children alone? BECAUSE FEMINISM HAS RESULTED IN FEMALES CHASING THEIR MEN AWAY, THAT’S WHY!

No! No! No! No disrespecting our flag or anthem! No political rallies at sporting events! No!

Also will they be asking their fans to wear cop hating pig socks like Kaepernac wore when he did the first kneel down?

I wish I was smart enough to make a gif of NFL players with arms together and making them kick legs up in the air that would be funny. They all look gay locking arms and Jerry Jones looked like he just ate a spoonful of crap when he knelt down like a pansy before the Cowboys game.

Lock arms for what? What are they trying to say? Solidarity for disregarding laws and traditions? Support for BLM? Do they even effing know that they are locking arms about? Well at least their fists won’t be raised up in the air.

The ‘lock arm’ thing is Public Relations 101 brilliance.

The NFL will have police officers, military heroes and a host of other people who we tend to admire - - then THEY’LL lock arms and we’ll feel pressure to join in.

Once we ‘sign on’ to their BS there will be a need to justify the choice... we’ll have two choices - that we really ‘believe’ with the left OR that we’re easily manipulated. Human nature tells us we’ll take the first choice...

The left will stop at nothing to push the agenda of the violent parts of the black community - it’s their only claim to anything approaching morality.

“Why?” To show our unity for the BLM cause to destroy our respect for our country!

Exactly. You just have to know Kaepernick and his BLM cofounder girlfriend having yucks watching these whitey millionaires and even billionaire owners spouting UNITY with communist BLM and their antifa buds which are joined at the hip with Soros. To be sure the term 'useful cracker idiots' is probably chuckled out often.

There's an undercurrent of fear in recent articles on the NFL implosion. This is NOT going the way the leftists wanted. They were going to show us they could jam their anti-American agitprop down our throats any time and any place - even when we just wanted to crack a beer and watch football - and there was nothing we could do about it.

Now, suddenly, this is really all about "unity." Yeah, that's the ticket. It isn't about hate for cops, hate for the flag, and hate for the country it represents. And, of course, kneeling before the anthem doesn't really count.

Nobody is buying it. The Left is big on "consciousness raising" and "teachable moments," but this avalanche of patriotic push-back isn't what they had in mind.

Incidentally, the Washington Redskins emailed me an offer today to "Experience Redskins Football at FedExField!" Oddly, a team that has sold out every home game for generations now has tickets available.

I sent back a photo of Washington players taking a knee.

They wanted to showcase ALL traditional Americans as being racists... and we were suppose to beg them to see that we weren't racist. It's one ugly paradigm.

I have had to explain to some people what it means. They think the players are being respectful.

I say, go get a beer instead, at least you’ll be helping out the vendors.
