Dozens of NFL players for the Baltimore Ravens and Jacksonville Jaguars showed a unified front on Sunday and kneeled as the national anthem played during the start of their game in London, defying President Trumps attacks on the league's athletes.
Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin also announced on "NFL on CBS" his team will not participate in the national anthem before its game Sunday against the Chicago Bears.

But they stand for God Save the Queen...
Boycott the NFL
Boycott the NFL Sponsors
This should hasten the permanent move of the Jags to London.
After today, there aren’t a lot of folks in Jacksonville that care about the team.
Overpaid football player privilege
I see photos of a bunch of players in team uniforms, with some of them standing and some of them kneeling.
These aren't teams at all. They wouldn't even be considered a half-assed tribe by any objective measure.
Ungrateful millionaires. That’s how you show disrespect to me, then my only response is to withdraw my financial support through viewership.
The british are fine with it as they are subjects of the crown and supposed to take a knee as a sign of subservience for royalty. Them standing in defiance for the british anthem should be seen in a negative light.
How about when the kneel, someone comes on the loud speaker and says, we will now, before the National Anthem, pray for our country and the men and women in our military. Anyone who ca, please kneel.
Looks more like a police line up.
Looking at the two pics I see 11 Ravens and 15 Jags kneeling. How many people are on a football team?
Disgraceful!
Taking the route of the Dixie Chicks. Keep on doubling-down on stupid.
The majority of them have criminal records they are used to being on their knees..I say if they want to behave like absolute IDIOTS let them..NO ONE and I mean NO ONE will watch them anymore..who is going to be their fan base, liberals? LOL, liberals will NOT show up and pay money to watch these morons, not their money(Not even their welfare check) what you are seeing are a bunch of OVERPAID, YES, OVERPAID morons who have been taught throughout their life that they are entitled to EVERYTHING on a silver platter because they run around in tights throwing a football around..let them show off their lunacy for everyone to see
Idiots - they are just killing the golden goose. Used to watch a lot of games. NFL is dead to me now. Could not care less what they do or how they play.
53.
We’re headed for “Rollerball”, “Ladies and Gentlemen, our Corporate Anthem.”
The Democrat media is about to spend a whole weekend defending multimillionaire athletes who disrespect our flag
Gosh I wonder why president Trump won?
