Denver Broncos Players: No More Kneeling For Us
TMZ.com ^

Posted on 09/28/2017 12:12:54 PM PDT by TigerClaws

The Denver Broncos players say the days of kneeling for the national anthem are over -- and beginning Sunday, they will all STAND together.

The players issued a statement moments ago ... acknowledging the split this past Sunday when several players took a knee and others stood for the anthem before playing the Bills.

"Last week, members of our team joined their brothers around the NFL in a powerful display of unity ... As controversial as it appeared, we needed to show our collective strength and resolve."

But now, the players say they will be united in standing together moving forward.

"We may have different values and beliefs, but there's one thing we can all agree on: We're a team and we stand together -- no matter how divisive some comments and issues can be, nothing should ever get in the way of that."

"Starting Sunday, we'll be standing together."

The left is strange fire burning in the minds of men and women who desire to rule a city of men as gods, apart from the Lord, our God.

And their first order of business after creating the whirlwind is to kill off their rival leftists that they should reign supreme bound only by their lusts.

This might explain why the switch — Bud ‘relayed their concerns’ to the NFL. NFL is on TV because of beer ads. Without them they’d been in deep doo doo.

Here’s the story:

Screw em', stay away from the NFL.

Let them show off their "collective resolve" when it's time to renew their contracts after half the advertiser revenue is refunded for not matching projected viewership numbers or barring that, advertiser space can no longer be sold at a premium price.

Sorry, too late. You’ve already made yourselves clear. This is nothing more than damage control.

Arg. Hillary said ‘predators.’ My auto-correct must have kicked in.

We’re a nation and we stand together - no matter how divisive some comments and issues can be, nothing should never get in the way of that. And last weekend it did, and it wasn’t the fans’ fault and it wasn’t the President’s fault, it was the players’, coaches’, and owners’ fault.
*********************************************************************************
That was the perfect answer to their “we are a team we stand together” drivel Bill. The ignorance is astounding. They keep saying it had nothing to do with the flag or the military. They obviously think we are as stupid as they are.

No problem.

I’ve really had to start cracking down on myself. Some of my posts look like a deranged person wrote them, so many errors.

Some of them are auto-correction problems, but not all...

Well, gee, I wonder why they’re not kneeling this week? I mean, did they stop believing what they believed last week? Is it no longer important to them? Perhaps, by kneeling last week, they think they’ve solved the problem?

Trump needs to stir the pot again. Tell the Broncos that he's glad they came to their senses and stopped protesting America.

Make them look like they lost the contest of wills, so they will go back to kneeling and piss more people off.

The NFL has no choice. They either kneel every weekend, making it worse and worse, or they stop the nonsense.

One finds it hard to believe they could have been so stupid as to not realize this is exactly the corner they were going to paint themselves into.

Every one of them should have seen this predicament coming, and apparently not a one of them did.

But they have no choice but to stop it if they want to stay in business. And if they stop it, Trump wins. :-D

Trump has helped them put themselves into a no-win situation.

If they stop, it looks like he wins, (and if I were Trump, I would be making tweets saying exactly this) and if they continue, they are going to make the American public angrier and angrier.

Lol. I saw a post a couple of nights ago that looked like it had been run through Babel Fish. The poster later explained that he needed to stop using the voice function.

Too late scumbags. I turned the nfl off after the first kneepad by brandon marshall of denver, at the time, in 2016. It hasn’t been on my tv since

I'm not a sports fan, too much anyway and I never really cared for football. That said this sounds like they caved to me. These guys aren't sorry for what they did. All they see is millions of dollars they'd be losing if this keeps up.

Screw the NFL. As someone who grew up in a town where soccer ruled this might be a good time for America to really see what a real 'football'' game is like.
