Sherman is an otherwise intelligent man, but he hasn't thought this through. The glory of the "republic for which it stands" is that people can air grievances under its protection. When one employs the protection of that republic in order to disrespect its flag, its anthem, its people who offer that protection, one is a hypocrite and a fool.

This country has brought them up, nurtured, educated, protected them and compensated them for athletic accomplishment at a level that is beyond the wildest dreams of the rest of the human race. They want to curse that country while enjoying its fruits. Time's up on that.

The NFL is acting like the drunk who got caught at a DWI checkpoint, and is popping open a beer.

It’s amazing how easy it is to NOT watch NFL football. And it’s SO satisfying to not have to watch some overrated clown disrespect our National Banner and our National Anthem. When they lock arms, they are demonstrating NOT honoring the flag by putting their hand over their heart. Total blatant disrespect.

Maurkice Pouncey says all Steelers will stand for national anthem in Baltimore

“I promise you one thing this week — we’ll all be standing out there for the national anthem,” Pouncey said after practice Wednesday. “Trust me. We respect our flag and we respect the military. I think the bigger message was we were trying to stay out of it. That we should unite inside. It was all about the flag. It was just a big misunderstanding. Trust me, I’m very sorry to anyone who feels the way they do. I care about the flag dearly. Trust me, this team will be out there standing Sunday.”

Amongst all of this animus against Trump for calling out NFL players who take a knee in protest doing the National Anthem before the game, apparently it is the NFL and Roger Goodell who are not following their own league rules.

As is the case with most of these tweets from President Trump that sends all the liberals and media onto a frenzy, he's right again.

These morons have completely cured me of any mourning for the NFL.

It has become EXTREMELY easy to boycott them.

Meanwhile, young black males are a tiny percentage of the population, but they commit a huge percentage of all violent crimes.

How ‘bout these overpaid dumb jocks address THAT?

I think the Prez should say something along these lines:

Why are we paying for this nonsense? Most cities have put up billions of dollars to build NFL Stadiums. And this is what we get?

Stop paying!

The real protest should be within the so-called African communities. (Stop the racism: most blacks have white blood as well.
The one-drop theory of the Democrats is racist to the core- Obama is NOT African American- he is bi-racial. His mother was White Irish for goodness sakes!)

As such, so-called mis-named African Americans should be holding protests against crime and bad behavior in their own communities. ( I see it on a daily basis.)

I really feel bad for the large majority of these biracial people who have to deal with this nonsense on a daily basis and just accept it. Rise up! Get your aim straight!

My 2 cents.

So far, nothing has been exchanged but words, and gestures.

There have been no fines, maybe one firing, and a misplaced reprimand.
