So much for the silly idiocy from Roger Goodell and those other NFL owners about "unity."

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.

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.

Looking at the two pics I see 11 Ravens and 15 Jags kneeling. How many people are on a football team?

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.

I see this is happening everywhere now, this is going to be good! I love watching people destroy their own lives, and the bonus of destroying what is left of the Morally Bankrupt Sports world. well, that is just icing on the cake for me.

I QUIT watching TV, Sports,and going to movies,concerts,... A long time ago when they all gave up on decency, morality, and virtue.

This nonsense will continue now that there is so much media focus on it. If the cameras and the media attention disappear, so will these 'take a knee' protests

unfortunately; since this pushes a leftist narrative and Trump is against it, the media will continue to highlight it.

As a sidebar; there are also people on the leftist side of this who are boycotting the NFL due to what they say is the "unfair treatment" of such a "talented" QB like Kaepernick due to his political stance (as baseless as it is)and because he is (half) black. They firmly believe that white cops are driving around and randomly shooting black guys just because they are black and that Kaepernick (his white family's name) is calling attention to it. They are delusional

. They say he is supporting his "community". CK's "community" - based on where he was raised - is white suburbia.

I am sure the media will attribute any drop in ratings the the leftist boycott for the perceived "unfair" treatment of kaepernick.

One Steeler came out for the anthem. Graduate of Military Academy.

So much for the coach’s “unity”.

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin also announced on "NFL on CBS" his team will not participate in the national anthem....

What a sleaze. And the same goes for those failures from Baltimore and Jacksonville. Disrespectful and lame.

So VERY pleased I do not watch their crappy product any more.

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.
