Keep encouraging the players to do something the fans find offensive. Everyone with a brain and ears knows what this was about, straight from Kapernicks mouth. Now its even more offensive as its a direct slap in the fans faces.

Keep it up NFL soon they will be dispised as they can't control their employees and social media is daily killing liberal MSM memes as they start - One person is responsible for this disruption in propaganda, the great awaking and the realignment - candidate and now president Donald J Trump.

Everyday the movement he is leading is getting stronger while the MSM seems to flounder.

This needs to materialize into political legislative wins - Obamacare not being repealed and no tax cuts is going to bring this economic upturn to a screeching halt.

Well that’s a twist to the 20 or so iterations we’ve seen already to this absurd virtue signaling.

Costas really can't be that dense. Most effective thing to do? No, that would be the most infuriating thing to do.

The team is standing for the anthem, and the fans are thinking, "Good. No more protests." Then all of a sudden the team takes a knee.

No different than this:

Anything less than standing at attention or saluting before, during, and after the anthem is just a cute attempt to show disrespect.

They cannot have it both ways - either honor the flag in the traditional way, or the SOBs can go home.

This part of the act is where the chicken runs around for a couple of minutes, unable to realize it’s head has already been severed.

Start a campaign to get Costas removed. Use Liberal tactics back on them.

As for the NFL, if they think we’re stupid, they better think again. There is absolutely nothing they can do going forward to erase their duplicity and disrespect. Nothing!!

Bwahahaha.

They keep looking but will never find a way out of this mess they let the players create.

There’s only one thing that would resonate with the fans, proper behavior all the way, and it’s TOO LATE even for that.

Everyone knows the score and who is on who’s side. The players don’t like the white fans. In fact, some of them hate white people in general.

Yeah, let’s cheer for them.

Not.

Another F-ing sports talking-airhead lecturing us on politics. That’s just what we need.

If they were serious, they would take a knee after the snap on every down.

Those who want to be offended can always find something to be offended about.

I am offended by the whole NFL fiasco. Instead of dealing with it, they have allowed it to fester and spread. Sports and other venues are being infected. Most of them do not even know what they original protest was about, as they keep moving the goalpost.

By the way, NFL, I have basic and tier 1 cable TV, so I have around 150 additional channels I can watch. I also have Netflix, Amazon Prime, several recordings on my TiVo and several thousand videos on my network hard drive accessible via WD TV and Plex. And there is an MLB game on this afternoon. Your’s is not the only entertainment available.

I am beginning to think that there is a satanic angle to this... first it was the subversion of what the meaning of the rainbow was/is, then it’s what it means to be on one’s knees.... terrible to watch because of the sense of mockery.

I hope they all end up grabbing a knee. As in getting an ACL ripped up. They can then kneel the rest of their f in lives!!

Costas and his left wing ilk remain as clueless as they were on November 7, 2016.

Sure would love to see someone, anyone, but prefferably an 80 year old woman just give Costas a beat down.

To little too late, Bob.

We’re not that stupid, you can’t fool us. The spoiled brat NFL thugs have shown their true colors. Actions have consequences.
