Limbaugh Predicts NFL Touchdown Celebrations Will Become American Flag Protests
Daily Rushbo ^ | Oct 13, 2017 | Dyno Rush

Posted on 10/14/2017 3:48:04 PM PDT by bkopto

Let me tackle this because last night there was a football game in Charlotte. It was the Carolina Panthers hosting the Eagles of Philadelphia. The Panthers all stood.

Two players for the Eagles kneeled or linked arms and gave a black power salute, I think. But nobody saw it ’cause it wasn’t televised. CBS/NFL Network didn’t televise the anthem last night. I wonder why that might be?

It’s obviously the league has gotten together with its so-called broadcast partners and said, “Hey, you know what? “The solution here, at least immediate, is don’t televise it.”

Trent, if this keeps up, here’s what… I don’t… The player may lodge a complaint about it, via the union or whatever, individual players.

But that’s not what they’ll do. What they will do is make the American flag somehow part of a touchdown celebration and do something with it where everybody’s watching.

It won’t take them long to figure out that if the anthem’s not televised, that they’ve gotta do something where they know it is — and after touchdowns is always televised and always replayed. So if a protest becomes part of a touchdown celebration, everybody will see it.

Hopefully not. If this does happen, it’s a wonderful gift to baseball during the playoffs.

Wasn’t there a player who says he was end zone celebrating by pretending to be a dog peeing on the American flag?

This is a cheeseball blog hoping to cash in on the Limbaugh name.

Who falls for that?

Oh he’s got a good point. They are going to be furious that the anthem ceremony is not getting air time anymore and even worse a perception that Trump ‘won.’ They won’t be able to stand it. End-zone protests, black-power fists, etc. seem very likely.

The NFL decision has given conservatives a rare opportunity to take a whack at Black Lives Matter and the manipulations of Obama’s collusion with the media.

But the so called pundits are blowing it off. In effect diverting the media’s complitity which allowed this racial division diversion created by Obama ro take place.
Obama is still the untouchable and fellow radicals are just laughing at the NFL debacle and praising his political genius because pundits are letting the media divert that direction to “cum bye ja” and a dozen other directions.

Because pundits should be citing the racial division created by Obama and the subsequent racial incidents asking those bended knee players if they support this ?.

The problem here is refusing to connecting the dots to the democrats who created racial divisuon when Obama through the abuse of his office and the “Bully Pulpit” began creating “victims” out of blacks engaged in criminal activities who were not just resisting legal arrest but responding by attacking legal authority and endangering their lives .

Until this get exposed along with its political purposes which was creating racial division and a impeachable proof barrier as the continuing political discourse which has been expanded to include “white guilt” will continue.

When blame the cops for cold blooded killings started by Obama’s use of the Bully Pulpit. It began with his comments during the Zimmerman trial. Those comments inspired at least 10* deadly assaults ending in death of any non black who wandered near or in “hoods” controlled by members cf black ganags.

One such noteable case is that of Christopher Lane an Australian murdered by Crypts while visiting Duncan Oklahoma.*(At the time the media avoided any reference made to “For Trayvon” reason given in those murders by the culprits mainly gang members. Of the I think the figure (10)is more like 20 racially inspired murders)

Obama was never held accountable for his inflamatory remarks. And because he wasn’t he contunued hammering away creating a wider racial division targeting police authority which resulted in cops being targeted and murdered in cold blood.

IF THIS WAS BROUGHT OUT WHEN NFL GENUFLECTIONS ARE DISCUSSED WATCH HOW FAST IT DISAPPEARS

So after they give the stupid fist salute after a TD, will the audience accept the middle finger salute without raising an eyebrow?
I work with dumbass NFL fans. They are so stupid on everything else In the world, it does not surprise me they still accept National Felon League foolball.

Odell Beckham. But he didn't have a specific target for his low class leg lifting. And now he's out for the season with a broken ankle, so he'll be able to keep that leg lifted off the ground for a few weeks.

Fans will “Booooo” their own player who makes a touchdown, then kneels in a sign of protest. Player will then give the finger to his own fans who were booooo-ing. Oh yea, this will really help ratings and merchandise...
