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 Trump’s 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.

Baltimore Ravens players, including former player Ray Lewis, second from right, kneel down during the playing of the U.S. national anthem before an NFL football game against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium in London on Sunday.

Too many people in Maryland worship at the holy church of St Raven. Hopefully they will see that these thugs are spitting in their faces.

I hope some radio station has a jersey burning bonfire. I can’t go because I have no purple shirts.

Yeah, one idiot rookie, who seems to have forgotten that in Baseball, there’s this thing called the “minor leagues”.

Enjoy your short stay in “The Show”....a-hole.

I really don't think that the POTUS should have stepped into this...but now that he has...

These idiots are showing that they hate Trump more than they love their country. That is not a good look for them.

If they are so serious about the discrimination they are receiving, I demand they resign from football and get a ‘real job’ of the type they think they can do. I doubt none of them are willing to do so, because they want to whine while they drink the wine they buy with money from the people they disrespect.

All those black players are “owned” by the NFL team “Owners”...they are literally SLAVES!!!!

They should “run-away” to Canada using the underground network of “private jets” they can charter with their vast wealth!

It is the principle of the thing, they shouldn’t be slaves anymore!

Did slaves on cotton plantations just “Take a Knee” in the cotton field, NOPE, they fled to Canada!

All these cowardly chicken necked NFL slaves need to get in their fancy jets and fly to Canada for the winter football season!

Slaves kneel. Free men stand! They seem to know their place is on their knees. One can almost hear them say...

“You may owns my body but my soul belongs to,ah to, ah, to youall Massah!”

(I stole that line from an cartoon about blacks being subservant to Democrat policy a few years ago)

They should lay face down on the ground. That’s how they spend much of their spare time anyhow.

Outstandingly! Except it would have to be broadcast in Ebonics.

“NFL is dead to me now. Could not care less what they do or how they play.”

What you said is exactly what happened to me in the late 1990’s when it was obvious the “thug” behavior was increasing in number, the NFL and college football no longer existed.
I refused to contribute money, time, energy or emotions to groups or individuals who tolerate or excuse behavior which leads to decay and negativity.

I also vote against any bill providing tax payer funding to build arenas or stadiums.

"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."

LMAO. What a load of bollocks, No-one here EVER kneels for the National Anthem.

This crap is a result of Obama’s War on Cops. The only way it is going to end is when fans start walking OUT.
